Madison August Event & Designs

Oh my gosh… it has been so long since I’ve posted on here…. With the whirlwind of the pandemic, life changes, a big move, new jobs, etc. I somewhat feel like I’m starting to feel a little normal again.
•
The 2021 wedding season, being a continuation of the 2020 year, is full of adjusting to yet a new normal of how to do this job. I love it beyond belief, but I can’t help feeling exhausted. I am trying so hard to still be there for my couples while also going through my own life changes.

Emily and Russel treated me with such kindness from the first time I met them 2 years ago. Getting to know the couples for so long because of the pandemic is also a huge blessing (even though it through an extremely hard time for so many).

Here’s to a busy 2021 season!

A little interior design fun I created today in my SE Portland studio, for this weekends bo***ir event!!

I missed the feeling of collaborating with creatives so much in 2020. When contacted me about styling for this project, my first thought was, “am I going to remember how to be creative?!” But it was just like riding a bike!! This year I’m planning on being creative just to be creative again to keep some sort of sanity in my life🙌🏼

Through the pandemic, smoke from the fires, and every plan changing both Kindrah & Jason handled it with so much grace. I have been amazed by the couples this year because of the love not only they have, but also the love they are surrounded by. So many have been supporting ME! Throughout the changes and heart break they have supported me, when I’m hired to support THEM!
