Rose Gold Photography
I developed a passion for weddings specifically right after my own wedding. My husband and I were blessed with an amazing videographer and photographer on our wedding day that captured our day perfectly! I love being able to relive our big day all over again when I watch our film and look at our wedding gallery.

Cakes
The Bearded Baker
With over 20 years in creating wedding cakes, I’m ready for the challenge to create something special for your big day! When I got married, I was amazed at the hassle of booking a wedding cake as well as the price so I aimed to change that with the way I do things for weddings. I try to make the process as simplified as possible and can build something that fits within your budget.
