ATLAS & ELM PHOTOGRAPHY
We are up and coming photographers, filmmakers, and choreographers. Our photographic style is very eclectic; we love to photograph life—nature, people, scenery. But we also love branching out into other types of photography—fashion, events, art, etc. For us, our “Atlas” represents influence and creation, an entire world of inspiration on our shoulders where we can collect and explore. Our “Elm” represents being rooted in an intuition heightened by experience and education, and staying true to our visions. We use collaboration to move our ideas forward: collective visions, collective techniques, and collective perspectives. We want to make our clients smile and enjoy the memories we’re capturing for generations to come.

SWISS DELICES FINE BAKERY & PASTRY
Our Custom Wedding Cakes are created from scratch, assembled with three layers of sponge cake and two layers of filling. We use butter cream frosting prepared with whole eggs and butter. Fresh whipped cream is also available but not recommended due to the high temperatures that generally accompany the wedding season. For a charming presentation, try our Marzipan covered wedding cake (Princess Cake).

GOLDWATER PHOTOGRAPHY
I am one of those artists who finally listened to his heart and pursued his dream. After working in Corporate America for 20 years, I made a 180 degree turn, a leap of faith and settled into the world of wedding photography which I now call Goldwater Photography. My approach and style are natural and contemporary, focusing on emotion in every setting. Always striving for something unexpected, revealing and spontaneous, my wedding photographs are a blend of candid/photojournalism and high fashion - always capturing the emotion of the event.
