This isn't just a photo shoot, it is an adventure. Portland, Oregon photographer Mark Mirocha's shoot was born out of his love of adventure. "What better way to spend a weekend than out in the woods with close friends?," he asks. We wanted to celebrate the coming together of friends on a special occasion like a bachelor party. Beckel's canvas tents have started to become synonymous with my Northwest styled shoots and again, they stood as the center piece of this shoot."

Mark's recipe for a woodland adventure with friends:
Step one: set up camp under a canopy of trees that reach the fresh, Northwest sky.
Step two
: hike down to the Wilson River and spend the afternoon fly fishing, skipping stones, drinking beer and telling stories about when you were young.
Step three
: come back to camp and spend the evening sitting around the fire.
