Hey there, wedding enthusiasts! Today, I want to take you on a journey through my recent experience at the Puyallup Wedding Show. But before we dive in, let me admit something: I was skeptical. Yep, you heard me right. After a less-than-ideal encounter with a new show in 2023, I wasn’t exactly eager to sign…
Most of the time, couples feel it’s necessary to hire a local photographer in order to save costs and this is completely understandable in the long run.

I’m always blown away by the Seattle Wedding Show and this year was no exception! Howard + the team put together an amazing showcase of vendors and the energy surrounding the show floor was palatable. After a few questionable years in the show industry, this year proved to be back on the upswing and foreshadows…

We’re excited to bring you the 2023 Seattle Wedding Show Recap. Ya’ll know wedding show weekend is one of my absolute favorite “work weekends”. The excitement buzzes through the air as dozens of vendors erect displays they’ve worked HOURS creating and perfecting. The low rumble of chatter fills the once empty convention center space, as…

But if you’re sitting on the other side of your computer, drinking coffee and thinking “I could never do that”… Friend, you’re more than wrong! What is an adventure engagement? We’ve all heard of the term adventure. By definition, an…
The ultimate couple’s events of the year is finally back to normal. The PNW Wedding Shows are back and bringing you the most amazing vendors for your wedding day! Navigating the show and all it has to offer can be overwhelming (been there done that!) so I’m here to guide you through planning (and executing)…
