Jessica & Aaron got lucky with the absolute perfect day for their engagement session. Trees in full bloom, tons of clouds in the sky, and the perfect temperature. Days like this seem to disappear when it is time for a photo shoot. But this time we got lucky. We had such good time walking around […]
