Lin and Jirsa Photography has documented weddings across Irvine since 2008. We know every venue, every lighting challenge, and every photo opportunity this city has to offer.
Check Our AvailabilityIrvine has become one of the most active markets for Orange County wedding photography, and it's easy to see why. The city's mix of polished hotel ballrooms, modern event venues, and open natural spaces gives couples a surprisingly wide range of backdrops, from sleek urban celebrations to relaxed outdoor ceremonies on open hillsides.
Lin and Jirsa Photography has worked at every major Irvine wedding venue. We know this city's light, logistics, and locations as well as any team in Southern California. Whether you're hosting a large South Asian wedding at Hotel Irvine, a modern industrial celebration at AV Irvine, or a campus-adjacent event at University Club, our job is to disappear into your day and come back with images that feel real.
Tucked inside the UC Irvine campus, University Club has a secluded campus atmosphere that surprises couples who visit for the first time. The outdoor patio works beautifully for late afternoon ceremonies, when low-angle light comes across the campus greenery. Inside, the ballroom's clean lines and neutral tones work well with almost any decor palette.

One of the newer large-scale venues in Orange County, AV Irvine has quickly become a go-to for couples who want something that feels current. The flexible floor plan accommodates everything from 150-person intimate gatherings to full luxury productions. The high ceilings are particularly good for wide reception shots with dramatic lighting rigs.

Positioned near the Irvine Spectrum entertainment district, the Marriott Spectrum is a practical choice for couples with out-of-town guests. We have photographed a number of South Asian and multicultural weddings here. The ballroom interiors have warm tones that respond nicely to uplighting and candlelight setups.

One of the anchor hotel ballroom venues in the city, Hotel Irvine is a primary choice for weddings accommodating several hundred guests across multi-day events. We have photographed many South Asian weddings here, including multi-day Hindu and Sikh celebrations. The hotel's scale means there is usually room to find quieter corners for portraits even when the main spaces are fully activated.
See Our Work at This Venue →The Jeffery Open Space trailhead in the Quail Hill neighborhood is one of our favorite Irvine engagement locations. The rolling hills and open grassland give a natural, unmanicured feel that contrasts beautifully with the polished environments of most Irvine venues. In golden hour, the dry grass turns amber and the light goes warm across the hillsides in a way that is hard to replicate anywhere else in the city.
The UC Irvine campus offers architectural variety that works well for engagement sessions, from the curved concrete forms of the central campus buildings to the shaded paths and open plazas throughout the grounds. Couples who want an engagement session with an urban-academic feel find the campus gives them a range of distinct backdrops within walking distance of each other.
Lin and Jirsa Photography has photographed weddings in Irvine and across Orange County since 2008. In that time we have built real familiarity with the venues, vendors, and light conditions in this market. We know which corners of Hotel Irvine catch the evening light best, how to work the flexible spaces at AV Irvine to your advantage, and what time of year the Quail Hill hills look their best for portraits.

Our team is fluent in the specific needs and traditions of Hindu, Sikh, and other multicultural ceremonies, which are particularly common in Irvine.
