The Mandagies
Pacific Northwest travel and photography by husband and wife photographers.
About The Mandagies
The Mandagies is run by husband and wife team Berty and Emily Mandagie, professional photographers and writers who launched the blog officially in 2016. Drawing on years of exploring the Pacific Northwest, they publish trip guides, itineraries, gear advice and free printables aimed at helping readers recreate their favorite outings. Measured site content includes more than 500 posts since 2017, and the site combines long how-to guides with a print shop and a resource library for subscribers. Posts are richly illustrated with the authors own photography, and many guides include practical details like admission prices and opening times.
What makes this site feel like a cozy, well-packed day pack is the mix of pro-level photography and no-nonsense family travel detail. The writing sample reads like a friendly guide from a neighbor who brought their cameras and their toddler, complete with exact admission costs, hours, and hands-on impressions. The site is best for people who want visually driven road trips, photogenic hikes and family-tested itineraries in the Northwest, plus occasional farther-flung posts. We enjoyed the blend of technical photo eye and practical trip tips, and the steady monthly publishing rhythm means there is usually something new to browse.
