Jaw, meet floor. It’s hard to know where to start with this amazingly delightful, glamorous, creative, and modern wedding out in the desert of Palm Springs. we adore working with Courtney from After the Engagement, and this fabulously fun couple was SO on board for fun in the desert despite 110º heat. Sweaty conditions notwithstanding, this Ace Hotel wedding brought so much joy to our hearts. We loved the energy of Jess & Augis’ community, and adored their glam-meets-modern-meets-tradition outlook on their wedding day. So many great nods to their heritage (Polish and Lithuanian), amazing speeches (we felt feels, there were tears), and above all, so much tender love. We will never be over how epic her dress was. Read on to get real wowed, y’all.
This awesome day was also featured on 100 Layer Cake. Go on, check it out for more fun!
