James & Kristina, Sept. 27, 2009 {Redding Wedding Photographer}

This was a beautiful wedding at Turtle Bay in the outdoor amphitheatre. It was cool getting ready in the large and rustic Turtle Bay exhibit rooms. James and Kristina met while waltzing, so a pre-wedding waltz practice took place at the same place where they met. I have to say, they are serious waltzers and it's pretty fun to watch. Having two left feet, I was happy to watch from the sidelines. The reception was at Gold Hills, with delicious food and more dancing and a DJ outside. The teddy bear cake topper was inherited from Mom, and grandpa wrote a little note to the couple and delivered it to them at the head table. He's 95, fit, and seemed to be having great fun, as did everyone. Many happy wishes to you both!
