Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Justis! Nikki and Austin became husband and wife last month, and it was an honor capturing all of their wedding memories from their heartfelt ceremony at Grace Bible Church to their colorful reception at The Ballroom at Bayou Place. Their wedding day was such a joyful occasion filled with vibrant flowers, special nods to Finn (Nikki and Austin’s pup!), and of course, a few happy tears!

Before the ceremony, Nikki and Austin shared a First Look at a park where they frequently take walks with their pup. It was so sweet seeing Austin’s reaction to his beautiful bride in her perfect gown featuring a statement bow and pearl-studded veil! Afterwards, the wedding party joined us for photos in the church’s courtyard before it was time for the ceremony. I loved the bridesmaids’ mix and match green dresses that perfectly complemented their garden-inspired bouquets.

The ceremony was lovely and focused on the true meaning of marriage. Nikki and Austin said “I do” in front of all of their family and friends, and you could feel their excitement as they officially became husband and wife!

Cocktail hour took place at The Ballroom at Bayou Place and featured passed appetizers and speciality cocktails, such as the Finn and Tonic! We even had the chance to capture some downtown Houston bride and groom photos before Nikki and Austin made their grand entrance into the reception! The ballroom was filled with abundant florals, and the most stunning hanging arrangement over the dance floor. Guests enjoyed delicious meal stations, an assortment of desserts, and of course, live music on the dancefloor all night long!

To end the perfect night, sparks were literally flying as Mr. and Mrs. Justis made their grand exit down the staircase to their fun getaway car. Congratulations again, Nikki and Austin! We hope this new adventure as husband and wife will be filled with lots of love, laughter, and more sweet memories with Finn!
