I recently photographed a beautiful wedding at a private residence in Larkin Valley. It was my first Sufi wedding! One thing I love about my job is learning about different cultures through celebrations. The bride was from Turkey and she had several family members who come from all over the world to attend. After the ceremony they pinned gold coins with a red ribbons on her dress. A Turkish tradition.
When they said their vows the Bride and Groom recited their favorite poems. I'll never forget trying to do my job and then hearing Shakespeare's most famous Sonnet 18 and getting all misty. It never sounded so beautiful as it did that day. You know the one, "Shall I compare thee to a summers day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate...", sniff, sniff.
The ceremony was followed by a sumptuous meal at the Bonny Doon Cellar Door.
BDCD has everything going for it. Amazing light, awesome wine list, helpful staff. Perfect for smaller gatherings.
