I'm free, as I stare at the sea: Reception View

Polaroid by Bridesmaid N

I was inspired by THE ALTERNATIVE WIFE's post about her reception venue's view to write a post dedicated to the view we shared with our guests at our reception venue. Once we visited the Cabrillo Pavilion Arts Center and saw the location, we knew it was our only choice. The unobstructed, panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean being the main draw. Whether inside through wall to wall windows or on the patios, the view was the perfect touch to the night. It served as a beautiful backdrop and allowed us all to glimpse out as the sunset.

Below are a few photos of our guests enjoying the view :)


Some people still on the beach.


Lifeguard tower with sail boats on the horizon.


My brother took this one with cake in the foreground.


From inside, the huge windows gave everyone a picturesque backdrop of the beach and ocean.


My college friend Michelle and her hubby :)


Bmaid N and two little girls :)


Friends enjoyed the cool breeze on the patio.








The view was even beautiful as the afternoon ended.


Cousin D took this. I love it.


And Sarah snapped this serene shot as the fog began to roll in.

It is really funny. A lot of guests did not notice the age of our venue, the funny colored chairs and loud carpet, and the minimal decor, all because the beach side location and amazing view took their breaths away. It brought a wonderful serenity and calmness to the party.
