The Duke wedding was like stepping into a winter wonderland, complete with Christmas trees, lights, mistletoe, and pops of wintery blue 🎄

I first met Jess & Aaron last December when I photographed their proposal. (If you haven’t seen the photos, go look NOW. Aaron set up the most incredible and unique proposal involving an escape room and Christmas lights. You need to see it.)

One of the best parts of the day was when Aaron surprised Jess by asking her to do a spontaneous “first touch” around a corner. He read her the sweetest letter he had written, and there were tears all around.

And when Aaron saw Jess walking down the aisle…you guessed it, more tears of happiness. But how could he not cry when seeing his stunning bride?

Jess told her bridesmaids that she’s always wanted to look like a Disney princess on her wedding day. When they asked which princess she wanted to look like, she said “Oh, any of them would work!” 😂 Haha that’s Jess. Her sense of humor is so funny to me.

Well, she definitely DID look like a princess in her long sleeved dress. She’s just gorgeous.

Jess & Aaron, thanks for asking me to be a part of such important life moments 💕
