I had the honor of capturing Kristina & Shermin’s Southern California wedding this past Fall at the historical Estate On Second in Santa Ana. Their day was truly filled with meaning, intention, and love from start to finish, and I'm so thankful I got to be there! If you are getting married at the beautiful Estate On Second, keep on scrolling for some stunning inspiration of what this venue really has to offer!
Kristina & Shermin’s Stunning Fall Wedding Day
I know, I know - you are probably tired of seeing all these beautiful photos of couples in love, getting married in Orange County but I will never get tired of capturing these special moments in time for my couples & I will never stop sharing them! Kristina & Shermin are the next couple added to my list of memories in Orange County. Check out more of my favorite memories with my amazing clients here!
These two met working together at DisneyLand (they also met their videographer working there as well!) and fell in love. Can It get any more Californian than that?! I don’t think so.
Estate On Second - Santa Ana, California
The Estate on Second is a historic structure restored and renovated to reveal the true beauty the space has to offer. Exposed beams, worn brick, and Palladian windows are just some of the features that bring this venue to life and add immense character providing a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
Estate On Second is located in Downtown Santa Ana filled with amazing mission revival style buildings but the Estate On Second has a beautiful Georgian Colonial style that can be transformed into your dream wedding venue (whether thats classic glam or a boho style).
The Little Details With A Big Impact
I love seeing all the special little details couples use to intertwine their everyday lives & what’s most important to them into their wedding day. For Shermin & Kristina this meant custom cat cocktail signs for their two fur babies as well as custom detailed cocktail cups. Oh & we can’t forget the super cute lego cake topper!
Modern & Romantic Wedding Photos In Orange County, California
Kristina & Shermin requested they have all their romantic photographs done prior to the ceremony so they could really enjoy their special day with their loved ones. So once Kristina had Shermin tearing up during the first look & they exchanged private vows to one another, we headed off to take some romantic photographs & catch the sunset.
If you are also hoping to spend as much time enjoying your happy hour & ceremony, then doing a first look is a great option for you - make sure to talk to your photographer & wedding planner about adding a first look into your timeline!

Dancing The Night Away At The Estate On Second
Shermin & Kristina spent the rest of the night celebrating their love with their closest friends & family dancing the night away, hearing emotional & loving toasts in their honor & of course, enjoying a sweet treat with their wedding cake.
Shermin & Kristina danced the rest of their big day away together & the vibes (and dance moves) were on point!
