Lauren Pfannes
Lauren is a young business professional who is learning to cultivate her strengths into doing something that she loves.  As a young girl Lauren's passion for planning became apparent.  She was always the girl who organized the after school club meetings or lunchtime relay races in elementary school.  As Lauren entered high school this trend continued.  Each year she was on the ASB Board (Associated Student Body), where she was the mastermind behind school pep rallys, lunchtime auctions, the homecoming dance and prom.  This love and passion of planning such inspired events started as an inherit trait.  Now Lauren is taking this passion to a new level and further developing it into a professional career at Saint P Productions, where she plans on being Portland's Premier Wedding Planner. 

The idea behind Saint P Productions began brewing a few years back as Lauren was planning her own nuptials to her now husband, Michael.  Lauren's perfection to detail, eye for design and nack for dealing with vendors had her thinking that this might not be the last time she planned a wedding!  After Lauren had her big day, she finally decided that this is what she was meant to do!  After months of strategizing, thinking and of course planning the launch of the new business with partner Brianna Porter, Saint P Productions was born.  Now, Lauren enjoys sharing her experience, eye for design and perfection to detail with the many couples who may find themselves needing her service. 

Brianna Porter
Growing up, Brianna helped plan everything from her sister's tea parties to her cousin's weddings. She was always the girl who wanted to do everything creative, and had a new dream career every week. First a chef, next a seamstress, then an interior designer… Brianna always loved to entertain and dream up elegant parties, but didn't discover her true calling until later, while she was attending Washington State University.

In college Brianna studied interior design, which helped her learn space planning and enhanced her overall sense of style. After two years of spending hours slaving over a drafting board, she realized that she would rather plan elaborate parties for her friends than decide where the electrical sockets in a room should go. She then switched her major to social science, and decided that wedding and event planning was the career for her. Helping plan family weddings through college also reinforced her decision.

While working for one of the premier Portland event planning companies, Brianna learned the tools of the event planning trade. This amazing experience also enabled her to develop relationships with all the top venues and vendors in the area. After learning all she could, Brianna decided it was time to start her own wedding and event planning company with her close friend and partner, Lauren Pfannes. She hasn't looked back since! No matter how big or small, Brianna loves helping others plan their weddings, and seeing their dreams for their big day realized.
