Tustin Backyard Wedding | Pat + Maggie = Married

This was an intimate wedding for Pat and Maggie that took place at the brides parents home in Tustin.  We shot their first look at Bent Tree Park.  It was the perfect back drop for some wedding photos with a woodsy type feel to them.  Very rustic looking!  The two then said their I-do’s poolside in a beautifully decorated backyard.  It was a gorgeous evening for the two and we loved working with them.  Congrats to Pat and Maggie.

Cheers to you both!

Los Angeles Arboretum Wedding | Danny + Sheri = Married

The Los Angeles Arboretum is a beautiful spot for a wedding!  Here Danny and Sheri were married on the great lawn in front of the Queen Anne Cottage.  This is the house that is featured in the opening scene of the show Fantasy Island!  The couple did a Hawaiian theme wedding style with a peacock feather color scheme.  It turned out so nice.  Looking back at the photos, it actually looked as if we were in Hawaii for this one.  A big congratulations to Danny and Sheri!  Thanks for having us share this wonderful day with you.

Cheers + Love,
J+D

Intimate Moss Beach Wedding in Laguna Beach | Donald+Cassiti

Donald and Cassiti said their wedding vows at Moss Beach.  This strand of beach in Laguna makes for an intimate and private spot to exchange your wedding vows.  The couple celebrated with their reception that followed at a private Newport Beach vacation home.  We loved working with Donald and Cassiti on this romantic and special day with them.

Congratulations to you both! J+D

Hudson’s Newborn Portrait | 12 days old

In case you missed the news, Jeff and I had a baby!  Our little Hudson is finally here and we are so proud to be his Mommy and Daddy.  Hudson was born on Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 7:35pm.  He was 6 lbs. 14oz and a very healthy little boy.  For many years, we have been photographing our clients newborn moments as they celebrate their new little one.  Having our son has been an incredible experience and the time really does fly by fast.  We took these photos when he was 12 days old and it made me realize he is only this size once.  Children truly do grow up so fast.  I have always heard that, but now it is happening right before our eyes.  I will treasure these beautiful memories of our son’s first portrait Forever!!!!

Meet Hudson William!
Cheers+Love,
J+D

 

Love the sock monkey hat my friend Carol crocheted for Hudson to wear!

Our nursery is sock monkey theme, so we had to get a shot of him in this!

I love little baby feet!

Mommy’s smiley little monkey!

Our Maternity Portrait

Being pregnant is such a special time in your life.  I was so glad that my husband Jeff took some maternity photos of me so I could remember my pregnancy.  After the baby comes, these moments remind of you of the journey it took to get your little one here.  I know it is hard being 9 months pregnant and the last thing you want to do is take photos, but we have to embrace the belly.  I decided to pick up my swollen ankles off the couch and get my hair and make-up done, so I could take these photos.  My friend Kylee Kneefel at the W Salon did a wonderful job as usual making me look fabulous!  I felt gorgeous!  Thanks so much my friend.

Also, to my wonderful husband who is the other half of Sipper Photography.  You captured me perfectly.  Thank you for taking our photos.  I am so glad you jumped in for a couple self portraits too.  Love you babe!
Cheers to Hudson Baby!

Palace of Fine Arts Engagement Portrait | Brad+Dee

Spring is here and wedding season is just around the corner!  Recently, we took a trip up to the San Francisco Bay area to do an engagement portrait for our wedding couple Brad and Dee.  It was a beautiful day in San Francisco with clear skies to document Brad and Dee’s engagement celebration.  To our surprise we even got a shot of the couple out by the Marina with the Golden Gate bridge in the background.   It’s funny because more often then not it is always foggy when Jeff and I visit there.
Brad and Dee were so great to work with.  I loved when Dee just kicked up her foot in a couple shots and just had fun being in love.  We are looking forward to shooting their wedding in June at the Crooked Vine Winery in Livermore.  Until then, enjoy the photos from the gorgeous San Francisco city.

Cheers,
J+D

Black and White Newborn Portrait | Caden 9 days old!

Congratulations to Ricky and Kristi on their new son Baby Caden.  It is hard to believe that it has been over two years since we did their first son Logan’s newborn portrait and now Caden is here too.  Boy how time flies by!  I love to watch our families grow and it is an honor to go back and photograph the next stage in their lives.  Thanks guys for sharing your new little one with us.  We loved meeting him and documenting these first moments of your newborn.  They get big so fast, but you will have these memories for a lifetime. Here is little Caden at only 9 days old!  Congrats+Love, J+D

 

Daddy holding Caden out in his arm!

I love the little baby details, they are so precious!

Such an alert little guy.  Here he is still sporting his umbilical cord!

The little newborn resting on mommy’s shoulder!

Such a precious family moment with their newborn son!

Even though Caden was only 9 days old here, he could move those feet.  Luckily, I was quick enough to get his feet in the V-shape and not moving to capture this moment.  LOVE!!!!
