We captured Lynn and Derek's Engagement Session about 6 months before their wedding day. Having just photographed a couple's engagement session at Santa Ana's Art District, here's what stood out: The Art District provided a vibrant and eclectic backdrop for the shoot, with its colorful murals, quirky street art, and industrial architecture. Each corner we turned revealed new textures and visual interest, adding character to the photos. Lynn and Derek chose cream-colored and tan outfits harmonized beautifully with the urban surroundings. Their attire complemented the gritty yet artistic vibe of the district, creating a cohesive and stylish look. The bustling energy of the city was palpable as we captured intimate moments amidst the urban hustle and bustle. The sounds of passing cars and distant chatter added an authentic urban ambiance to the photos, capturing the essence of city life. Throughout the session, the couple's genuine connection and affection for each other shone through. From stolen glances to tender embraces, every moment was filled with love and warmth, creating authentic and heartfelt images. We used many parts of the district, especially the infamous red brick building that sits adjacent one of Orange County's most popular Wedding Venue The Estate on Second. Derek and Lynn got married at The Villa Westminster. You can check out their Wedding Gallery here. We made use of the district's diverse array of art installations and murals as striking backdrops for the photos. Each piece of artwork provided a unique setting, from bold, abstract patterns to whimsical, street-inspired designs.

My sister-in-law used Bairly Media for her wedding and recommended them to me. I am so glad she did! Aja and her team are amazing! Aja was great to work with from the initial contact to explaining the different packages, to any additional things that we wanted last minute. My husband and I are both pretty camera shy and awkward, but Aja and her team gave us great direction during the engagement shoot and on our wedding day. We even got some sneak peeks back within the week! If anyone is thinking of booking, DO IT! Thank you so much for being such a huge part of our big day and capturing all of the special moments we'll remember forever!

If anyone is thinking of booking, DO IT!
