Our Year in Review

2019 was freakin’ rad. And because of that, this is a very long blog. I’ll never stop saying it- our lives are dope and we do dope shit.

Our clients are amazing. We traveled all over the Pacific Northwest and beyond getting to do what we love and having a stupid amount of fun doing it. This was our 5th year of being self-employed and running our own business here in Portland and we’ll never stop feeling amazed and grateful for all the people who allow us to have these jobs that genuinely make us happy. In order to celebrate we fulfilled our dream of spending 2 months exploring SE Asia and eating everything we could get our hands on. It was one of the best experiences of our lives and made us eager to see more. We’re only a week into 2020 and looking ahead our year is already full of couples we can’t wait to work with and travels to places that we’re so excited to experience and share.

Here’s a collection of highlights from 2019. I know it’s a lot but like I said, this year ruled. Happy New Year, ya turkeys!
