I’m excited to share with you our first wedding video of this past wedding season! Seanna and Zack were so much fun to work with and I loved being part of their wedding. Their photo booth was awesome. Nate and I got some super cute phots of us (posted below). Watch this video and you [...]
Last week I had the honor of being part of a unique bridal event that was put on by Ania Couture at the Portland Museum of Art. It was unique in that each vendor didn’t have a booth trying to sell their business like the way most bridal shows are. Instead, each [...]

When I married Nate, he had a couch that I considered to be the supreme example of a bachelor couch. It was a denim love seat that Nate purchased about 13 years ago and it was in horrible shape. I didn’t say much about it but I kindly suggested getting a new couch and Nate thought [...]
