Highly encourage you to check out our friends Lace & Brass Events! They provide amazing service and incredible packages including their newest one!

ATTENTION: We are so excited to officially announce a new elopement package we have been working on! After spending 7 years planning elopements we felt it was time to create our newest package: CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE!

Choose Your Adventure is meant for couples eloping just the two of them. We want to give couples an extra hour of photography to spend doing something fun, exciting, new, etc together. We want the photographer to have extra time to capture the couple spending candid time together. Whether you're trying something new, doing a favorite activity or just giving yourselves extra time to get ready and spend at an Airbnb - this package is perfect for you.

On our website you can see the package details including so many ideas of what you can do for your adventure. Not all of them mean you'll be super active like hiking, canoeing, snowshoeing etc. Some ideas are for those who crave a relaxing and casual wedding day like relaxed time at an Airbnb, wine & charcuterie picnic, visit a local garden etc.

So let's hear from you! Whether you're already married or not - what type of adventure speaks to you?

Celebrated a guests birthday at our last private dinner party. 🥳 What better way to finish dinner than with creme brûlée! What’s your favorite birthday dessert?

06/23/2022

Ribeye cap steak going on the grill tonight 🔥 considered one of the most desirable cuts! Generally you will only get 6-8lbs of cap meat per steer.

The ribeye cut itself comes from the rib primal cut, one side sitting adjacent to the chuck and the other side adjacent to the loin. Ribeyes taken from the chuck side are more tender, beefy and usually contain a cap, ribeye from the loin side is essentially an extension of the NY strip.

When given the option, select ribeyes taken closer to the chuck side with a healthy cap.

A great substitute to grilling your steaks is to sear them in a HOT 🔥 cast iron pan then melt a k**b of butter, add smashed garlic and herbs and baste your steaks until your preferred doneness.

When you’re faced with a dairy restriction, duck fat seared NY Strip is a fantastic substitute. Look at that crust! 🤤
