Julia & Andrew’s Waterfall Engagement Session // Proxy Falls // Mckenzie Highway

This was one of my favorite photo adventures of the summer for so many reasons! Not only were these two love birds just the cutest and the most laid back, but they were completely on board with every single one of my goofy ideas! They got into dressy clothes in the middle of the woods, climbed up the side of a waterfall and followed me all around the hike exploring some crazy terrain and beautiful sites! It was unseasonably cold and misty on this day, which actually worked out amazingly because if the sun hits the falls in the wrong way the mist is lit up too much and becomes quite a problem for photos. The overcast sky kept the falls looking epic, as well as giving us lovely light for portraits HOWEVER we were all pretty happy to be returning to warm cars at the end of the shoot. I followed the chilly shoot up with a dip in the hotsprings at Belknap which gave me the amazing idea of in the future doing fun waterfall photos followed up by some lifestyle photos at the hotsprings in the mist and steam! Stay tuned for whatever adventurous couple let’s me drag them to a waterfall and back to some springs!!
