It’s no secret that Lake Superior has a special place in this heart of mine. It’s vastness reminds me so much of the ocean – but it feels so rugged and raw in comparison. A place where you can walk the crashing shoreline and enjoy the warmth of a crackling campfire as the sun slips […]

There’s something so special to me about meeting my couples and getting to hang out a bit before the big day rolls around. It’s even better when I get to meet them in their own city or favorite spot. Last weekend, I made my way to St. Paul to meet up with Valarie and Tanner at […]
