Check out their engagement session on the UW Campus.

Matt + Jen are a Seattle couple who were married at Gorge Crest Vineyards in the Columbia Gorge.  It works out well that Gabe and I tag team the northwest.  We were able to hangout with Matt + Jen in Greenlake, planning their destination wedding over coffee at Zoka, which is practically Gabe’s backyard in my opinion.





Sneakin a peek.

I’m a big fan of Jen’s veil and vintage style.  I overheard her say she found it through indybride.com.









Party on!

I’d also like to say “howdy” to our new friend Debbie who just started a rad personal blog, Bridal Hood, that features her experiences planning a destination Hood River / Columbia Gorge wedding (at Gorge Crest!).

Mustache Frame

Over some nice wine and cheese, the four of us (Gabe, Myself, Ashley + Jacqi) got together last night to sit and share ideas for the future - something I would definitely recommend for every small business.  Even if you’re in it by yourself, find people you respect to mentor you and meet with you.  Later this next week  I’ll be posting some things that have helped us in these meetings and tips for others in the creative industry looking to do the same.

A few snaps of my good looking wife, Jacqi, at our home in Portland.  She keeps me going.
