A Modern Wedding at The Richland | Orange, California
There’s something effortlessly timeless about a wedding at The Richland in Orange, CA. Tucked in the heart of Orange County, this beautifully restored venue offers a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern elegance.
From the moment the bride stepped into the naturally lit solarium, everything felt serene and graceful. The curved window wall created a stunning, soft lit backdrop for their first look with soft florals framing the moment and highlighting the beauty of the bride’s classic gown.
An Intimate Ceremony Filled with Emotion
The couple exchanged vows in a room filled with their closest family and friends. Surrounded by warm wooden beams, soft lighting, and thoughtful floral touches, the space felt deeply personal. Every guest seemed fully present celebrating not just the day, but the love story behind it.
Holding hands, smiling gently, the bride and groom radiated calm joy. There was no rush just a quiet confidence and a sense of peace that made this ceremony one of the most moving I’ve captured at The Richland.
A Joyful Ride in the Richland Trolley
After the ceremony, the couple hopped on the venue’s vintage green trolley for a quick escape and a few unforgettable photos. This classic Richland wedding trolley is one of my favorite details about this venue. It’s not only charming, but it offers the perfect backdrop for playful, candid shots.
From the laughter inside the trolley to the kiss shared outside in the cool afternoon light, these were the kinds of moments that make wedding photography feel alive.
