Jess' day started with a quiet morning at the mansion with only her mom at her side. She got dressed and ready at her own pace and made sure to pause and take in these moments together. It was such a cherished moment + there wasn't a dry eye in the room.
and before we knew it, it was time for the first look!!
I always recommend sneaking off into the sunset for some newlywed portraits. We went into the back yard and were greeted with this golden light as the sun was setting. So gorgeous!
time to grab a drink and celebrate!
we then snuck inside for a brief quiet moment before the ceremony
and then it was time!!! so many happy tears
after some heartwarming toasts, we run off into the sunset!
returned to the reception for some yummy desserts + to party the night away
