Yacoba & Sam's Memphis Garden Wedding

Hello Gorgeous!

Yacoba & Sam’s wedding is simply a joy to look back on and celebrate what a beautiful couple they are. From the very beginning, their wedding was going to be special. Both Yacoba and Sam are intentional in everything they do, and their wedding day was a reflection of that care, love, and thoughtfulness. It was an honor to walk alongside them during the planning process and watch their vision come to life.

What stood out the most about these two is how wholeheartedly they love the people around them. Every detail of the day was chosen not just with themselves in mind, but with their family and friends at the center. They wanted a celebration that felt warm, welcoming, and unforgettable—and that’s exactly what they created.

Of course, no wedding comes together without an incredible team of vendors, and this day was no different! The vendor partners who made this day truly seamless should all get a standing ovation!

The Dixon Gallery and Gardens was the perfect backdrop for this timeless celebration. This venue is nestled among lush greenery and artful spaces, making it simply a dream venue for Y&S! The Dixon team was a dream to work with (as always), accommodating every detail and ensuring the couple’s vision could shine. This venue not only provided beauty but also offered a natural warmth that made guests feel right at home.

Elizabeth Hoard Photography was the one behind the lens that day. Elizabeth has a gift for capturing not just the details, but the emotions that make a wedding day unforgettable. Her ability to preserve the laughter, the quiet moments, and the joy of the celebration meant that Yacoba and Sam now have timeless images to look back on for decades to come. Having her as both a partner and a friend is always such a gift.

One of the most striking elements of the day came from Snapdragon Florals. Their artistry in bringing together blooms that matched Yacoba and Sam’s vision was simply stunning. Flowers have a way of setting the tone for a wedding, and Snapdragon’s work brought the perfect touch of romance and sophistication.
To pull everything together, Mahaffey Tent & Event Rentals provided all of the essential pieces to create the atmosphere Yacoba and Sam dreamed of. Having reliable, high-quality rentals makes all the difference, and Mahaffey delivered flawlessly.
