The Wedding Cake
The wedding cake has so many traditions associated with it, notably the cake was made to bring good luck to the couple and their guests. The bottom tier was traditionally used to serve to the wedding guests (so this is the tier you cut on the wedding day), the middle...
What To Expect During Your Couple Portraits
I think it's safe to say that most couples want some time during their wedding day where they step away from their guests and have some time together to capture some portraits without an audience. This really is such a special time as you will naturally want to be...
