From Rental Cars to Wedding Bliss: Stephanie and Khris' Army Love Story


Hey everyone! 🌟 Today, I'm bursting with happiness as I share the heartwarming love story of Stephanie and Khris, two incredible souls who didn't let their military service keep them from falling head over heels for each other.


Our friendship began in the most unexpected place – a car rental spot in Killeen, TX. Stephanie, with the nicest smile and the sweetest demeanor, made the experience so enjoyable that we started chatting about our lives. Little did I know, this chance meeting would lead to something truly magical.

As we bonded over our journey, Stephanie shared her wedding plans, starting from a 'small' backyard idea to an intimate clubhouse celebration. Eventually, their dream evolved into the most amazing, simple yet elegant wedding ever.


Fast forward to our move to the Dallas-FW area, and Stephanie had moved too, just about an hour away. Imagine my joy when she reached out, wanting me to capture her special day. I felt truly honored that she hadn't forgotten about our rental car conversations and still wanted me to be part of her wedding journey.


Stephanie's wedding was the epitome of sparkle and elegance. Her gown, a champagne-colored cap sleeve masterpiece with intricate lace and an intimate train, brought sophistication to a whole new level. Her cascading curls added a touch of glamour, and her cake, a southern charm with intriguing lines, was a visual delight.


Don't miss the chance to check out Stephanie tearing up the dance floor. Their wedding unfolded at The McKinney Flour Mill in McKinney, TX, a historic gem standing tall since 1872. From industrial equipment to original hardwood floors, this venue exuded a unique charm that perfectly complemented their love story.


Stephanie and Khris, your love story is a testament to the beauty of overcoming distances and challenges. Cheers to your incredible wedding at The McKinney Flour Mill – where history, love, and laughter seamlessly blended into a day you'll cherish forever. 📷💖 #StephanieAndKhris #ArmyLoveStory #WeddingBliss
