Wedding desserts are some of my favorite details to photograph on a couple's big day.  This past fall, I had the opportunity to photograph a beautiful wedding cake created by the very talented Samantha Miller of Cake Lore Co. during a beautiful Yale University elopement in New Haven, Connecticut!  Sam is a Providence, Rhode Island-based pastry chef who is truly dedicated to her craft.  Her attention to detail is amazing and her confectionary designs are truly unique!  I recently chatted with Sam about her confectionary creations as well as Cake Lore Co. and am so excited for you to get to know her!
