We are so happy to share a little sneak-peek from their wedding celebration. Here is a shot of them after the wedding at the very spot they said their I-do's. We love them!!!! Stay tuned for a full blog post of all of the fabulous moments from their day.

Cheers+Love to you both! 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!

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

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!

Martoinne+Rhea = Married

Well, this post is a little behind as we also traveled back East to Pennsylvania in June to shoot a wedding. The last two weeks we have been playing some catch up, but are so excited to share with you photos from Martoinne and Rhea's wedding that took place on June 5, 2011 at the Sportmen's Lodge in Studio City, CA. We had a wonderful couple and a fabulous venue, so the photo opportunities were great. The Sportsmen's Lodge has a beautiful garden ceremony location and this is where the two said their I-do's. When we met Marty and Rhea at our initial consult we instantly clicked with them and it made for a great capture on their day. Rhea really liked the fact that we were a married photography couple and I think that shines through here.

The two met at church where two of Martoinne's cousins introduced them. After being a couple for 2 years, he proposed to Rhea at the Manhattan Beach Pier and she said Yes!!!! These two are a young couple that knew they wanted to be together forever! We could totally see this love as I teared up on a few occasions during their ceremony. It all started with Marty singing to Rhea as she walked down the aisle, such a priceless moment. He also sang part of his vows to her. How Romantic?????

A surprised Rhea as Marty sings to his bride as she walks down the aisle! He sang "So High" by John Legend

A traditional Jumping of the Broom was done by this couple!

Congratulations Martoinne and Rhea! Best Wishes for a long and happy marriage, it was a pleasure working with you both! Now let's dance!

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

A few weeks ago we spent the afternoon with Marty and Rhea in downtown Long Beach shooting their engagement session. These two just wanted a simple session that would capture their LOVE.

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

Brandon + Crystal = Married

Brandon and Crystal were married a year ago this past April. They celebrated their one year anniversary with an official wedding reception with all of their friends and family together and we got to be a part of it. We had met Crystal shortly before she got married last year and from the first time I met her, we clicked. She was so excited about our photography from the first time she looked at our photos in one of our books at an event. I loved her energy immediately and wanted to work with her! It was a wonderful day when we finally got to work together and meet her fabulous husband Brandon. Her Aunt was so gracious to host their wedding reception at her Los Angeles home. It turned out beautiful!
