Rebecca Holland Photography: Chris & Jessica

Only Chris would be able to wear bright orange shoes and attract the attention of a beautiful girl! After wandering into the bike shop where Chris worked, Jessica finally met the wearer of those bright orange shoes. They soon discovered that they had a love that was meant to be. A few dates, a few years and a house later they made it official. And their official date ....Feb. 29 (Leap Day!).

In a private dining room at Caffe Luna in Raleigh the two pledge their love to each other in a ceremony with a style all of its own. A close friend presided over the ceremony while family and friends looked on. Borrowing from a variety of wedding customs the two tied the knot.

This is a fun little series of photos that is reminiscent of some other photos that I had shot with Chris and Jessica. http://rebeccahollandphotography.blogspot.com/2011/07/80s-themed-contest.html

A few days after the private ceremony Chris and Jessica hosted a reception party for all of their friends and family. Everyone was invited to celebrate the marriage of Chris and Jessica at the Raleigh Elks Lodge.

Chris and Jessica enjoyed showing off their moves as they did some shag dancing for everyone.

Here's a photo of Jessica dancing with Chris's 90 year old Granddaddy! Adorable! I heard that Granddaddy got on the dance floor later on during the night and busted a move.

The dessert table was not lacking in sweets! Chris and Jessica provided a shmorgishborg of candies, cookies and cupcakes for their guests to snack on. Talk about yum!
