Collins Birth Story
On March 11, 2020, our lives were forever changed when Collins Elisabeth Drake came into the world. A day that for so long felt so far out of reach, yet one that will live in our memory as the most special day of our lives.

Our Wedding Cake
One thing that Justin and I were most excited about during our planning process was our wedding cake tasting!

Prior to our cake tasting it was important to gather some inspiration and details surrounding the cake’s overall design. Buttercream or fondant? Timeless or trendy? Three-tier or four-tier?
