Lindsay and Ken: A Fall Classic
The Four Seasons Resort Aviara
November 8, 2008
Perhaps one of the best things about being a San Diego wedding photographer is that within about 30 minutes of my house are a number of the best wedding venues in the world. Not least among them is the Four Seasons Resort Aviara, which happens to be less than 10 minutes from my house. Aviara is elegant, but intimate, and it affords some of the best views of the ocean anywhere in Southern California. My bride and groom this week fit in the Aviara’s aesthetic seamlessly. Actually, some of the coolest shots we did were of Lindsay and Ken interacting with some of the stunning sculptures in Aviara’s Palm Courtyard.
Emotions were not far from the surface on Saturday, as Linsday’s father passed away just a few months ago. He was remembered often by all in attendance and was no doubt watching over with a very happy heart as his daughter married the man of her dreams. Thankfully everything went off without a hitch thanks largely to the stellar organization and artistic touch of wedding planner Rebecca Gaffney of Red Letter Days Events and Aviara’s catering manager, Kelly Smorzewski. Red and amber rose petals that adorned the aisle leading up to the large fireplace on the Laviana Terrace where the ceremony took place, were provided by florist Sharrie Woods. Sharrie’s designs are always stunning and appropriate to the season. This wedding was no exception as the fall accent colors set the perfect stylistic tone.
If there’s one thing I learned from this wedding its that you don’t have to have 300 guests and a 20 piece band to have a memorable, meaningful wedding. Family and friends are what it’s all about. Lindsay and Ken clearly understand that. Their wedding was the perfect way for me to end my 10th year in business as a wedding photographer. I hope you enjoy their images…
