san luis obispo ranch wedding

San Luis Obispo ranch weddingJaime and Chris had a Texas sized Rock n’ Roll wedding right here on the central coast at the gorgeous Holland Ranch. I must start by saying that every once and a while a wedding comes along that completely breaks the mold. Jaime is originally from Texas and wanted to find a location that felt a little like home, Chris wanted to bring in his love of music and together they wanted to have a killer party to remember . Enter, Holland Ranch the perfect location and the Atomic Punks the perfect band. I mean, honestly how many weddings do you go to that brings in a Van Halen cover band to play in addition to hiring the super awesome Chris Bailey to DJ? But oh no, that was just the beginning. Jaime had not one but two surprise dances in store for her guests including a choreographed dance number with her dad and a flash mob with her gal pals later in the evening. Yes, they were ready to have some fun. The food was delicious thanks to Two Cooks Catering and the flowers were stunning, Jenny McNeice did an amazing job. I also can’t forget to mention the super fabulous staff at Holland Ranch. All in all it was an unforgettable wedding with not only a wonderfully sweet couple but two enormously loving and welcoming families as well. Thank you Jaime and Chris for letting me spend the day with you. XOXO.

I think awesomeness runs in Jaime’s family. The father/daughter dance started like any other. A slow dance to “Butterfly kisses” but about 30 seconds into it her dad walks away and heads over to Chris Bailey the DJ, slips him a $20, takes off his jacket in time for the song to scratch and for “Party Rock” to start playing. Jaime and her dad bust out into some crazy dance moves, the guests are laughing hysterically and I think they officially set the tone for the night.
And when it couldn’t get any better a little while later a huge group of ladies flashmob the dance floor to LMFAO’s “Sexy and I know it”. 😉 Of course no rock n’ roll wedding would be complete without some real ROCK N’ ROLL! Chris’ main request for the wedding? To have a Van Halen cover band play of course. Enter, the Atomic Punks!!!! These guys are the real deal and it was awesome to experience.
