Inspired By Her

Steven Shomler and KC Shomler, AKA Diana Prince, had their first ever date at a dive bar on Sept 13, 2017. Steven loved that KC loved dive bars as much as he does.

Almost immediately, the idea for this project began rattling around in Steven’s head…

On the eve of their one-month anniversary, Steven and KC had a very meaningful date at yet another dive bar. Right there during that date (which was going very well) Steven was inspired by KC and he decided that he should turn Portland Dive Bars into a real project. That night Steven told himself that his new partner in love would be his partner on this labour of love as well.

That very evening at that dive bar Steven bought the domain PortlandDiveBars.com

Fast forward to January 2019 – Steven and KC are engaged and thoroughly enjoying doing this project together – KC writes the words and Steven takes the photos.

Update – Steven and KC were married on Feb 11, 2019 in Stevenson, WA at the courthouse and their wedding took place on June 20, 2019 at a lovely wine cave in Lake Chelan, WA.

Immediately following their wedding and wedding dinner, Steven and KC went to a local dive bar in Lake Chelan to celebrate. In their wedding clothes. How fitting!
