For Jing and Bailey, their wedding day was a perfect blend of historic charm and modern boutique style. They chose The Richland, a stunningly restored hotel and event space in the heart of Old Town Orange. This venue is a favorite for couples who love “California-cool” aesthetics paired with century-old architecture.
A Ride Around the Orange Circle
After a beautiful ceremony, the couple skipped the traditional getaway car. Instead, they opted for a vintage trolley. This charming ride took the wedding party around the iconic Orange Circle. Because the trolley slowed down for the crowds, it created a fun, high-energy atmosphere for their portraits. Consequently, we captured some of the most unique “city-chic” shots against the backdrop of antique shops and local landmarks.
Sophisticated Design at The Richland
The Richland is more than just a venue; it is a full-sensory experience. It features:
- The Living Room: A cozy, high-end space for intimate moments.
- The Ballroom: A bright, airy room with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams.
- Boutique Guest Rooms: Perfect for getting-ready shots that look like they belong in a magazine.
Finally, Jing and Bailey’s day proved that you don’t need to leave the county to feel like you’ve traveled back in time. Between the historic trolley and the refined edges of The Richland, their wedding was a masterclass in Orange County elegance.
