Preserving Memories for a Lifetime

09/10/2024

We are so excited to own a piece of historic St Helens. Our heart has always belonged to the River Front District. Michael proposed to me on the waterfront 8 years ago and our first apartment was on Strand St. The outer beauty of this building has inspired what the inside of this building will hold.

Beyond the Forest will remain in its current location until the renovations are done.

We have so many people to thank for routing us on! Thank you to our realtor Locken for helping us find financing and giving advice through this process! GRO Greater St. Helens for helping with advise and Columbia County SBDC for helping with a solid business plan. Katie Moore Real Estate Broker for being accommodating to our millions of questions and seeing the 11 month journey.

She said YES!!

I had the pleasure of organizing and capturing a proposal. Daniel contacted me to arrange a beautiful flower arrangement and shared his exciting news. Not only were he and his partner purchasing a new home together, but he also wanted to propose on the steps of their new house, symbolizing the start of their new life together!

I put together a beautiful picnic in their living room to celebrate their new beginnings. I'm thrilled with the way the esthetic tuned out.

I was absolutely thrilled to be a part of this special moment for the newly engaged couple. Thank you, Daniel, for entrusting me to bring your vision to life!
