LGBTQ Orange County Wedding
From start to finish, C + S's four-part wedding felt like something rare and beautiful. Even after all the queer weddings we've photographed, seeing both families show up with open arms still has us wiping tears. Not every couple gets that, so when it happens, it feels sacred. More of this, please.
LGBTQ Wedding Photographer in Orange County | A Joyful Home + Courthouse Celebration
We’re more behind-the-camera than behind-the-keyboard people, so we let AI help us put some words together for this one-
When queer couples search for the right wedding photographer in Orange County, they’re not just looking for someone to take pretty pictures—they’re looking for someone who sees them, celebrates them, and creates space for their love to be captured authentically. That’s exactly why photographing S + C’s four-part queer wedding in Irvine and Santa Anafelt so meaningful to us.
A Rare and Beautiful Celebration
From the moment the day began, there was something special in the air. At sunrise, friends and family gathered for a traditional Indian puja prayer ceremony. The joy was contagious—S’s mom even came over mid-ceremony to bless us as the photographers, something we’ll never forget.
Throughout the day, the celebrations flowed seamlessly across Orange County:
Irvine private residence: Morning rituals and family blessings.
Old Town Santa Ana Courthouse: A civil ceremony surrounded by historic architecture.
Backyard sangeet celebration: Dancing, music, and pure joy in the company of loved ones.
Reception at home: A heartfelt continuation of the celebration, filled with laughter and tears.
From start to finish, the day felt rare and sacred—an open-armed embrace not just of the couple, but of queer love itself.
Why Representation Matters
As queer wedding photographers ourselves, we know that not every couple gets the gift of unconditional support from both families. When it happens, it’s powerful. Watching S + C’s families show up with joy, respect, and love reminded us why we do this work: to document love stories that deserve to be seen, honored, and celebrated.
We left the day wiping tears, carrying the hope of more weddings like this one. More open arms, more joy, more celebration of queer love.
Santa Ana Courthouse Weddings for Queer Couples
One of our favorite highlights was photographing S + C’s vows at the Old Town Santa Ana Courthouse. With its historic charm, Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, and warm tones, it made the perfect backdrop for portraits and an intimate civil ceremony.
For queer couples considering an Orange County courthouse wedding, Santa Ana offers both elegance and inclusivity. Pairing a courthouse wedding with personal traditions, like S + C did, is a beautiful way to bring culture, family, and individuality into the day.
