Orange County Theater Engagement Session | Kelli-Rae+Dan=Engaged

Today, we share with you the beautiful love story of Kelli-Rae and Dan. I have known Kelli-Rae for a little over two years now, we used to work together. A few of us ladies got together from the old workplace for lunch a few months back so we could catch up on all that had been going on in our lives since we last saw each other. We had seen on Facebook that Kelli-Rae was engaged but finally got to get all of the details and see her fabulous ring in person. She told us the story of how the two made a little escape to the Embassy Suites for the night and as they arrived and took a moment on the balcony with some champagne, he gave her a letter that read:

“This is the day I ask you to be my wife” she looked down and he was on one knee and asked her “Will you marry me”. After 5 years of dating she said “YES”!

I was so happy when Kelli-Rae asked us to do her engagement session photos, they wanted to do something different and creative. I know Dan is a writer, he recently had a premiere for his horror film Farmhouse and Kelli-Rae loves theater and music. Since I have known her she has been in a few productions and also had the opportunity to get on stage and sing with the band Sugarland! We have had the opportunity to sing together as well, there has been a time or two of Karaoke together for office parties, good times. That is what she wanted the session to be all about, good times and so we decided on doing their session in a local Theater. It was something that represented both of them, they have a total love for movies, and that is one of the things they love doing together. She wanted them to just have fun, throw popcorn at each other and be in the moment. We ended up shooting in Garden Grove at the The Gem Theater where Kelli-Rae recently performed in the production “The Best Little Whore House in Texas”.

We had an awesome session in the theater and also walked around the house and downtown Garden Grove…as we documented the excitement and love of the two’s engagement. They were a fun couple, full of love, laughter and moments and so we share with you Kelli-Rae and Dan…we had an amazing time documenting your engagement and love, thanks for sharing with us. Congrats to you both! J+D

The two will be using one of these images with the marquee for their Save the Dates…so cool!

Peter + Ginger = Engaged. Orange County Wedding Photographer

Congratulations to Peter and Ginger on their recent engagement! Here is a little advice to anyone who is single…always keep your head up and be aware of your surroundings, even if you are just riding the elevator at work. You never know Mr. or Mrs. Right could be standing right next you! That is how Peter and Ginger met, they both work in the same building and one day an elevator ride changed their lives. The two are getting married in February 2010, and we couldn’t be happier for them. The Sipper’s are so excited to be there with them to share their special day.

Much happiness to you both, we look forward to your big day! Enjoy, J+D

I love it when I ask a bride to look at her ring, she always gets a giddy smile…as did Ginger!

A little dip for a fun couple!

Tanya + Craig…Just Because!

The perfectionist in me, strikes again! Jeff and I are always coming up with new ideas to always strive for the next step. We feel it is important to keep growing in both our personal and business life, so we tend to bounce ideas off each other which usually start me saying, “Hey babe” and Jeff goes…”Yessssssss”! I am sure he is totally wondering what is she going to come up with now!!!

Recently, you may have noticed that we added a splash page to the intro of our site. If you haven’t seen it yet, please go to the website and check it out. You don’t want to miss it! We were so happy to add this because it really shows a “splash” of what we do! The images are some of our favorites, and we wanted to implement what we are about which is Simple + Modern + Casual and how we portray this in our photography.

With the fabulous flash design from Tanya Ahedo at Design Action Studios, our goal was accomplished. She took our vision and turned it into a reality! Tanya has a great personality, and is very easy to work with, so the Sipper’s clicked with her right away! Since then, we have had the opportunity to shoot Tanya. She wanted some photos for fun, so we met up with her and Craig, her fabulous fiance, and rocked it! The two shared some amazing moments. We always encourage our clients to just have fun, and so they did. As Tanya quoted on all the fun “That is how we roll”!

I have to say…we just loved hanging out with them, as you will see in the following moments. Thanks again Tanya for your fabulous design!

Enjoy- J+D

Gary + Barbie = Family. Orange County Family Photographer

We met Gary & Barbie through my sister who has been friends with them for several years. Barbie had seen our work and expressed how amazing our photography was, so she told my sister that the next time we were in town she wanted family photos, as well as some couple portraits of her and Gary. So, on a recent visit to Chandler, AZ we met up. We took these shots in one of our favorite little downtown areas. This environment allows our subjects to really show off their personalities against some awesome facades. This urban portrait is one of our favorite styles!

We decided to do a few shots in this setting of her son Stephen, who is a senior this year and will be graduating in the Class of 2009. Sipper Photography is now offering Senior H.S portraits. We have decided that we want to give our Senior’s a fun & relaxed portrait session that really shows off their personality. Being a senior in high school is a year you will always remember, so it is important to make an impression.

So here we have it folks, an awesome Senior, a fabulous family and one cute couple all wrapped in one! Thanks to Gary & Barbie, for sharing your family with us!

Enjoy the photos…J+D

Kylee + Franjo = Vegas Style. Orange County Wedding Photographer

It has been a very crazy week or so filled with many spectacular moments. Though we have been incredibly busy, we are having so much fun! Last weekend Jeff rode in the Tour de Palm Springs, I had to get up early on Valentine’s Day, but it was worth it to support my hubby as he took off on a 65 mile bike ride around Palm Springs. As Jeff left on his ride I snapped a few photos, then shouted that “I loved him”, later he told me that he got choked up a bit when he heard me. Ahhh, a little romance for Valentine’s Day!

After the trip to Palm Springs, we headed back on the road to Vegas for the WPPI (Wedding Portrait Photographers International) convention which was an amazing experience for us! We met up with several other photographers for some networking, attended a few parties for photographers, walked the floor at the trade show and looked at all the exciting things being offered in our industry. We truly are a part of something great in the photography industry and we both feel so honored to do what we do!

The highlight of our trip was our couple shoot we did of Kylee & Franjo. The two recently were engaged this past December and will be getting married November 14th. Both of them were so excited about there engagement photos, over dinner one night Franjo mentioned to Kylee that he wanted to do some sort of James Bond or Monte Carlo theme. We were stoked to hear this and what better place to make it happen then Vegas baby! Word got out of our shoot and we were approached by Kerry Garrison and David Esquire of CameraDojo to shoot some video of Jeff & I shooting our session. This was going to be an exciting shoot!

We met up with the couple, at the Paris Hotel and then took the show over to the Bellagio. The two looked AMAZING!!! Franjo in his white tux jacket & Kylee with a long flowing chocolate brown Calvin Klein gown. We were so excited to have such a fabulous looking couple who were ready to have fun and rock it Vegas Style!

We had such a great time! Congratulation to Kylee & Franjo… and a special thanks to Kerry & David for the great video coverage!

Vegas Baby!
