Il Fornaio Wedding | Irvine, CA | Alan+Bianca = Married

Love today’s wedding that we have to share of Alan and Bianca.  This couple had their wedding ceremony and reception at the Il Fornaio Restaurant in Irvine, CA.  I really love this venue as it seems to be a little hidden gem in Orange County for an Italian style wedding.

 

Our groom, Alan sporting his Allen Edmonds wedding shoes.  Looking very stylish!

Our bride, Bianca.  Looking gorgeous!

First look for the couple at the Noguchi Garden

We just love doing these as the couple really has a moment to take in each other and have a little romance and fun with just the two of them!

Great wedding favor idea… homemade loaves of bread baked by Il Fornaio for guests to take home with the Olive Oil!

It was great working with Alan and Bianca on their special day.
Cheers and love to you both for a long and happy marriage!
Ciao, J+D

Katie+Bradley | Family and Children Portraits in Orange County

I love my job!  It has been so rewarding to share such special moments with our Sipper Photography families that we have been photographing over the years.  Here is Katie and Bradley who we have photographed on several occasions as they have grown up.  We met Katie when she was about 7 or 8 years old and now she is a teenager.  Time sure does fly by.  Little Bradley is 16 months old already and such a fashionable little dude.  I love the sweater and Vans shoes combo on this little guy… fashion kids here we come! We took this portrait just after the New Year and it reminded me that anytime is a great time for an updated portrait of your family or children.  Keep in mind that Spring is around the corner and it will be a great time to photograph you.  Also, don’t forget that portraits make a great gift for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day which will be here before we know it.

Here is Katie and Bradley… Best, J+D

 

For further info to book your family or children’s portrait please email: dana@sipperphotography.com or call us at 714.348.0630

Holiday Portraits | Matt+Lorraine+Lincoln+Victoria = Family

Well, the holiday season is in full swing.  I am sure some of you have already been celebrating your traditions.  For us it has been a busy one, in fact I was still wrapping the last few gifts just the other day.  Earlier this month we took a trip up to the Bay Area to visit with Jeff’s sister and celebrate our Christmas with them.  Every year we also get to see this wonderful family and do their portrait for their holiday card.  It is funny how the kids get a little older and the photos become a little easier to capture.  Lincoln and Victoria did an AWESOME job this year because not only did they take great photos, but actually struck a few poses too.

Thanks guys for having us do your photos again this year.  We look forward to next year!
Happy Holidays!
J+D

And the winner is… this was the holiday card photo!

We were so excited to receive ours in the mail yesterday!

Such a sweet moment of Lincoln + Victoria

Loved this one of Victoria!!! 🙂

2012 Fashion Collection | Steve Madden Pea Coat Review

Recently, I was invited to a VIP online shopping experience from a 2012 Fashion Collection and received this fabulous Steve Madden Pea Coat to review.  Being professional photographers, I thought what better way to display this review then to have some photos of me actually wearing the coat.  I always wanted a winter white coat and I immediately fell in love with this Ivory and Black Pea Coat. I loved the style and look!  Though I am a plus size girl, I am always concerned with the fit and having something cute.  For once, this was all 3… perfect fit, with a contemporary style and look! 

This is the perfect time of year to have this coat with the holidays approaching.  I live in Southern California and although we don’t have extreme winter conditions, we do however have some crisp winter nights.  This mid weight coat is perfect for a chilly night on the town of dinner and shopping.  My husband and I took a stroll in Old Towne Orange one evening and I loved wearing the coat.  It was very comfortable and fit perfectly as we walked around.  Although, it has the look of a wool pea coat, it is actually made out of a polyester/rayon/spandex blend, so the best part is the coat isn’t scratchy!!! As you can see in the photographs, this pea coat fit is very flattering and has a great design.

I just love a Laguna Beach Wedding!  Here are shots from Robert and Nicole’s wedding at the Laguna Village.  These two are such a fun and romantic couple, we had a great time capturing their moments.  I love the bridal details Nicole did as she incorporated her new title as Mrs. Ball on her dress hanger and shoes.  Love!!!!
