Stephanie and Justin's Wedding

We recently had a wonderful time helping Stephanie and Justin plan their special day.

Stephanie and Justin got married at the beautiful A&M Gardens in Azle, TX. A&M Gardens is a mix between a lush garden and a ranch, with a quaint ballroom for guests to host their reception.

All of Stephanie and Justin's friends and family came to celebrate their wedding. Here are some highlights of their special day:

Stephanie looks so beautiful.

Nikki and Doug's Wedding

Nikki and Doug celebrated their special day at the White Chapel Garden and Estates and their reception at the Legends of the Game ballpark museum.

Their entire event was amazing! The ceremony was very beautiful and the lovely ladies of the White Chapel helped to make it run very elegantly.

At the reception, the couple and their wedding party had a blast taking pictures down on the field. It was incredible to see the Museum transformed into an event venue, especially with a dance floor in the middle of the venue.

All of the vendors were very professional and helped make Nikki and Doug's day simply perfect!

Here's a fun picture of us with Nikki and Doug:







Hope you enjoy!
