Downtown Santa Ana Engagement Session | Catherine + Justin

I know everyone is used to seeing my engagement sessions taking place in a more nature type setting but when Cat and Justin told me they wanted theirs to take place in a more cityscape, I knew that the Downtown Santa Ana Historic District was the place to go! I’ve been to the area multiple times before for leisure but being able to roam around with a different purpose only made me appreciate how beautiful all the buildings are.

Located in the heart of Santa Ana, the historic district is full of mom and pop clothing shops, street vendors and surprisingly, a lot of coffee shops. With so many options on where to begin, we met at the Chiarini Fountain in Artists Village which is right in the middle of the 2nd Street Promenade. Walking up and down the surrounding streets, we stopped periodically to capture multiple backdrops of the Downtown District.

Cat and Justin are seriously the sweetest couple and this location seemed to suit them perfectly! Whether it was down a brick walled alley or our favorite spot in front of City Hall, these two together made every piece of architecture pop with beauty thanks to their love and admiration for each other. Congrats again you two and I will see you in August and October!
