A San Luis Obispo Wedding Photographer's Impression of Windows on the Water in Morro Bay
Imagine exchanging your vows with the sweeping Morro Bay harbor as a back-drop and the iconic Morro Rock in the distance while the beautiful California sun casts a golden glow over your celebration. If this sounds like the wedding of your dreams, and you're a couple who values elegance, charm and romance, you’re in luck, because it can easily become a reality with a wedding at Windows on the Water in Morro Bay, California!
Here are a few reasons why, as a San Luis Obispo County Wedding Photographer, I absolutely love photographing weddings at Windows on the Water:
Incredible Photographic Opportunities
Every wedding I’ve photographed at Windows on the Water has been absolutely special. Not only is the venue spectacular, but there are SO many opportunities for amazing photographs within a short walking distance. Normally, I take my couples on a short “walking tour” down the Embarcadero, over to the harbor and back to the venue – there are a few amazing spots I like to stop at along the way that offer incredibly romantic and unique images.
If we have more time, and especially if my couple has set aside a block in their timeline for “sunset photos”, the Tidelands Park and Dock is a fantastic place for those utterly romantic and incredible Couples Portraits.
A Venue with a View
Windows on the Water is renowned for its breathtaking panoramic views, offering an unobstructed gaze across Morro Bay and the famous Morro Rock. The restaurant's design includes floor to ceiling windows that literally immerse guests in the beauty of the bay, creating an ambiance that's both elegant and intimate.
The Event spaces are super versatile, too. They have options that can beautifully accommodate intimate or micro weddings, but the entire restaurant can be rented if you have a larger guest count. Most of the wedding clients I have worked with have chosen the Windows Exclusive option, which gives you access to the Vineyard Room for your ceremony and the Bay Room for your reception – there’s even room for a small dance floor and a DJ to set up! You’ll also have full access to the incredible bar and intimate bar seating.
For the Foodies
At Windows on the Water, the culinary artistry is top notch. The restaurant prides itself on offering fine California cuisine, with menus that change seasonally to incorporate locally sourced seafood, organically grown produce, and regionally raised livestock. Every single plate is beautifully presented by staff that is dedicated to providing upscale service. If you’re a “foodie”, this place will be a dream for you!
No Need for A Lot of Décor
This place is absolutely stunning as it is – with dark wood, floor to ceiling windows and view to die for, so you’re not going to need a ton of décor. A few floral decorations and maybe some upscale wedding favors and you’re set! You can also enjoy the front deck of the restaurant that overlooking the Morro Bay Embarcadero Street, which is absolutely picturesque.
Final Thoughts...
Choosing Windows on the Water for your wedding means embracing the natural beauty of Morro Bay while indulging in exceptional cuisine and top-notch service. If you’re a couple who is looking for something elegant, intimate, classy and totally unique, then I would highly recommend touring this waterfront Morro Bay venue!
