Hi Friends!

Weddings are my PASSION! I have consistently worked in the love business for the past 3 years helping couples make their wedding dreams into a reality! A recent bride myself, I know firsthand what it is like to plan your own wedding and diving into the wedding world is a dream I get to live each and every day. Following my own wedding, my new husband and I packed up our lives (including 2 fur babies, Panda & Marcus), hit the road, and drove across the country looking for a new adventure in Portland, Oregon. Here, I found a home with Abernethy Center, a place where I can continue to build on my passion and absorb the love and magic that weddings bring! Writing Smooch is another way for me to reach couples looking for some extra support when it comes to planning a beautiful wedding! Stay tuned for the latest tips and idea coming your way!
