Irvine Woodbury Wedding | Brandon+Kristen= Married

Today we have some amazing moments from Brandon and Kristen's wedding to share. It was a gorgeous day to photograph a wedding at the Woodbury Community in Irvine, California. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this couple and were so honored to share their wedding day with them. A big congratulations to you both! We wish you many happy years together sharing your love.

This fabulous day started at the Woodbury Clubhouse for some pre-ceremony shots of our bride, Kristen getting ready. Then we headed off to the Great Lawn at Woodbury for their wedding ceremony. When I first saw the Great Lawn it gave me this grandiose feeling as it was so vast and beautiful. Such a "GREAT" spot to say I-do! After moments with the couple during their ceremony and photos with their family and wedding party we headed over to the Courtyard at the Club in Woodbury where the cocktail hour and wedding reception were held. This was such a great location for a wedding as you had so many different options for your celebration that were all close by. It was a great party, we even stayed a little late to share in the celebration by having a few drinks with the couple and doing a little dancing. Anyone who knows me, knows I love to dance!

Here they are Brandon and Kristen... Cheers+Love, J+D

Laguna Beach Engagement Session

As I promised, more photos from Greg and Mary's fashion style engagement session that was shot in downtown Laguna Beach. This was a unique shoot as we mixed the celebration of their engagement with a little fashion shoot. I couldn't help myself as I got so excited when Mary started showing me their outfits. We had so much fun and found some great spots for these two to strut their stuff. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED working with them both. I may have mentioned this in their sneak-peek post, but I had to ask them if either one of them ever did any modeling for photo shoots because they both were rockin' it! The two never did do any modeling, but their look and love made such a great combo for this engagement shoot.

A big congratulations to you both!!!! You guys make a fabulous couple. Enjoy the moments. Cheers, J+D












Loved Greg's Seersucker Jacket look!













So glad to catch Mary blowing a kiss to Greg...such a fun moment!






Clearly a magazine ad photo!











Love this boardwalk shot of the two!

A Little Fashion Style Engagement Shoot | Sneak-Peek

This past Friday I had a fabulous engagement session with Greg and Mary. It was an early morning in Laguna Beach and the weather was perfect, plus I had the cutest couple to work with. This shoot was so much fun as it was full of style and love on both of our parts. I could of sworn these two were models. I even asked them during the session! I couldn't wait to get home and download the images as I knew there were going to be some great shots. As I was editing the other day, I thought to myself I would love to do some more fashion photography. I mean these photos should be in magazines! I am intrigued, inspired and can't wait to do more. I think it is time that Sipper Photography heads into the fashion photography world. Are you intrigued? Well, here is a little sneak-peek from the shoot. Let me know what you think! More fashion to come...wait to you see the others.















Thanks for stopping by...your day will be amazing! Congrats, Dana

Chapman University Wedding Chapel



Wallace All Faiths Chapel at Chapman University


Are you looking for a unique Orange County Wedding Venue for your upcoming wedding? Well, I have a great little hidden spot in Orange that would make a great venue for your wedding in Orange County. I recently had a tour of the Wallace All Faith Chapel at Chapman University and I was amazed at how beautiful this spot is. I guess to most it is a secret spot unless you have attended Chapman or maybe live in the Orange area.

As I walked through the campus, it brought back memories of my college days and how I have always loved the campus look. A university campus is filled with great architecture, lawn areas and facades. These make fabulous locations for your wedding ceremony, reception and photos. You just can't go wrong!
