Kaylin + Adam Wedding
Kaylin and Adams' wedding day took place on one of the hottest days of the year, but I enjoyed every single minute of it. They did their first look at the home they were staying at while in town.

For one of my recent weddings, I had to travel all the way to Chippewa Falls, which is about 40 minutes outside of Sault Ste. Marie.
