Muldoon’s Irish Pub Newport Beach Wedding | Wayne + Genie

Eat, Drink and be Married!
Cheers to our featured couple today, Wayne and Genie. We had such a great day photographing the love story of these two. I started off with our bride Genie, with some pre-ceremony shots at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach where she got ready with her daughters and granddaughter. When the girls were all ready, the best of Orlando limos picked them up and off they went to Harbor Christian Church for the wedding ceremony. Afterwards, their wedding reception followed at Muldoon’s Irish Pub in Newport Beach where the couple celebrated pub style with family, friends, food, drinks and dancing. We had a fantastic time with this couple and it was a true pleasure to document their wedding day. I have to admit, we ended the night with a celebratory cocktail in honor of the couple. My husband, Jeff was in fine Irish style as he toasted a Guiness beer to our new friends and a gin and tonic for me. Cheers to that!
Congratulations to Wayne and Genie, thank you for having us be a part of your day.

The French Estate Wedding Photography in Orange, CA | Alex + Nicole

Today we are sharing the beautiful wedding of Alex and Nicole at The French Estate in Orange, California.  We Love this venue!  The French Estate home has a beautiful front yard garden area for your wedding ceremony as well as a backyard area for your reception.  It is such a hidden gem right here in our local city of Orange.

This couple had some fantastic moments including a first look for the bride with her father and older brother’s.  Then a few words with her husband to be, right before the ceremony, which made for such a romantic moment.  Another grand moment was their sparkler send off along the driveway.  Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE what we do as wedding photographers.  We hope you enjoy the moments!
Congrats to Alex and Nicole… Cheers + Love from The Sipper’s!

Rustic Wedding Details at Red Horse Barn

We just photographed Chris and Maryalice’s wedding at the Red Horse Barn and were so impressed by all of the decor details that we wanted to feature them in a separate blog. At this wedding we worked with An All Inclusive Event and Robyn’s Event Planning. Both of these wedding & event companies do such an impeccable job with their events. We are continually amazed at the detail and workmanship that goes into their weddings. It truly is a pleasure to be surrounded by other vendors that share the same work ethic as us. Both the staff of Red Horse Barn, An All Inclusive Event and Robyn’s Event Planning go above and beyond to make everything perfect on your wedding day. We highly recommend them!
If you are looking for a great rustic, western or outdoor woodsy themed wedding venue, you’ve found it here with the Red Horse Barn in Huntington Beach.  Enjoy all of the wedding details!!

Red Horse Barn Wedding | Chris + Maryalice

Congrats to our featured couple today, Chris and Maryalice, on their recent wedding. It was a beautiful day for a June wedding at The Red Horse Barn in Huntington Beach.  We love this venue as it makes for such a romantic setting for your special day.  It was such a pleasure working with Chris and Mara (a.k.a Maryalice) as they have some cute love stories.  The two met on a blind date that was set up by the groom’s sister, Megan.  After the date, the two began to follow each other on Instagram and the rest they say is history.  These two are quite the sports fans, during the ceremony the officiant mentioned that Mara was a keeper when she agreed to season tickets for the Anaheim Ducks.  Chris was overjoyed!!  They also shared with us that they got engaged during an Angels Baseball game.  How awesome is that?
The day was perfect thanks to all of the details and coordination of An All Inclusive Event and Robyn’s Event Planning.  In fact, we were so amazed by all of their hard work and fabulous wedding details that we will be featuring them in a separate blog to follow this post.  We hope you check back to see all of their fabulous work.

Congrats again to Chris+Maryalice!  Wishing you both a wonderful life together… cheers! J+D

Newport Beach Orange County Wedding | Mike + Shannon

Here are some ideas for venues if you are planning a Newport Beach, Orange County Wedding.  We were thrilled to spend the day with Mike and Shannon and photograph their wedding.   We started with a first look before the wedding at the Balboa Bay Resort and took a few photos of the couple there. We then headed to the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church for the wedding ceremony.  Afterwards the couple requested we go to the beach for the bridal photos.  Finally, their wedding reception was held at the Harborside Restaurant and Grand Ballroom located near the Balboa Fun Zone.  Such great spots for a wedding.  We hope you enjoy the photos.

Balboa Inn Newport Beach Wedding | Richie and Sheela

We photographed Richie and Sheela’s wedding at the Balboa Inn in Newport Beach.  We loved working with this couple!  Sheela dressed in a traditional Indian Bridal Saree.  I love the first shot of her mom and Aunt helping her get dressed and all of the bangles and gold.  It looks so beautiful.  The couple had their wedding and reception on the Terrace at Balboa Inn. We also incorporated some Beach photos by the Balboa Pier since this venue is so close to the sand in Newport.  Congratulations to Richie & Sheela, it was a pleasure working with you and your family.

Cheers+Love, J+D

Newport Beach CA LDS Temple Wedding | Ben + Megan

Ben and Megan planned their wedding in California at the Newport Beach LDS Temple.  We arrived for photos just as the couple made the exit from the temple right after their wedding ceremony.  The LDS temple in Newport has such beautiful grounds for wedding photos.  We loved it!!!
The couple also requested photos at the beach, so we headed to the Wedge in Newport Beach.  We had so much fun with this couple as they enjoyed the day in the sand.  A bride, running barefoot at the beach in her wedding dress is such a fabulous moment.  We got some great shots of these two in LOVE and having fun.

To celebrate with all of their family and friends they had an intimate wedding reception at Il Fornaio in Irvine, CA.  This is a great venue for a wedding of various sizes as they can accommodate your ceremony as well as a small to larger guest count for your reception.  Oh and the food is spectacular and I am not just saying that because I am Italian.  We have eaten there on several occasions.

Congratulations to Ben and Megan!!! We hope you enjoy the photos.  J+D

Laguna Beach Wedding at Surf and Sand Hotel

Brian and Rukiya had their wedding at the Surf and Sand Hotel in Laguna Beach.  This is such a great venue, right on the beach with a couple terrace views to hold your ceremony and several ballrooms to host your reception.  We just love it!  This couple did a gorgeous tropical beach themed wedding for their decor.  Brandi, at The Finishing Touch Wedding Design created such a tropical paradise with all of the flowers and decor for this wedding.  It was such a beautiful day for an awesome couple.
Congratulations to Brian and Rukiya!  Enjoy all of the photos. J+D

Client Review:

The Sipper’s were fantastic photographers for our wedding in a number of ways.  In the weeks and months leading up to the event, Dana communicated with my wife and I and kept us on track for the big day.  We met at the venue several weeks prior to the wedding to plan out exactly how things would happen so that no time was wasted during the event.  On the day of the event, Jeff and Dana were professional and efficient, managing our time for us so that we could enjoy ourselves.  We have now received the proofs and are overjoyed with their quality. -Brian & Rukiya
