The wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was a beautiful spectacle all around, but one aerial shot of the newlyweds making the rounds on social media was particularly stirring. The photo, from the Sunday Times Twitter account, went viral online, and Press Association photographer Yui Mok shared more about how it came to be.

Mok responded on Saturday to a viral tweet calling his photo "exquisite" and shared that he took it from the roof of Windsor Castle while the couple passed beneath.

Mok also credited the Press Association photo desk, which quickly edited the raw file as is necessary "on big jobs like this." He also answered questions about what exactly his job entails and the type of camera and lens he used for the photo.

He then shared watermarked versions of the original photo and a few more from his personal account, celebrating the royal couple once more.
