In the heart of Santa Ana stands the grand Old Orange County Courthouse, an iconic Southern California landmark full of history and romance with its elegant structure. It was here that Reyna and Salvador chose to embark on their greatest adventure yet—an intimate elopement that celebrated their love in the most personal and meaningful way.

With its vintage charm and warm hues, the courthouse provided a stunning backdrop for Reyna and Salvador’s special day. The couple exchanged beautiful vows in a cozy courthouse under roses and twinkling lights with their families watching and big smiles on their faces. It was such a sweet and heartfelt ceremony!

After the intimate elopement ceremony, the newly weds explored more of the courthouse inside and out. You can just feel the love and joy they have for one another through each and every one of these photos. Plus, the stunning interior and grand architecture made for the most dreamy newly wed photos and I couldn't be more happy with how they turned out! Reyna and Salvador's beautiful elopement is a wonderful reminder that sometimes love is best celebrated simply, sweetly, and authentically.

Congratulations to Reyna + Salvador! May your lives be filled with love and joy! ✨❤️
