A little of what people are saying about us

Weddings

Communication

“From start to finish their communication was fabulous. Jasmin was able to answer all our questions and made us feel at ease, especially since we were planning our big day from across the globe! Jasmin took the time to answer every email with care and patience and was able to offer us expert advice on locations, timeline of photos etc. Ryan was so much fun and made us feel very comfortable! It was like hanging out with an old friend and it made the whole experience very memorable rather than just another process of the day.”

“Jasmin made us feel so comfortable and gave us the space to be silly, kiss our hearts out and laugh until our cheeks hurt. Jasmin captured our love, personalities and excitement for being together and I honestly can't stop looking at the pictures, showing them to friends and now working on putting together a wedding album! I am forever grateful that I found Monocle Project, we now have pictures of our love that will last forever!”

— Clare & Manny

“Monocle Project is a fantastic photography team! Not only are their pictures incredible in quality and aesthetic, but they are an efficient husband and wife team who know how to communicate with their clients and each other. They are confident and create a comfortable environment for everyone around them; each person in my wedding party absolutely adored them and their ability to execute the ideas and vision they had.”

— Kelsay & Thomas M.

“Ryan and Jasmin are a wonderful, talented and professional photography team that any couple getting married would be very fortunate to have shoot their wedding. As the venue manager at Spencer's Restaurant in Palm Springs, I have had the privilege of working alongside Ryan for weddings, and I have seen first-hand the care taken to capture each moment and setting whether posed or candid, with a subtle assertiveness that does not overwhelm the couple, and family and friends alike.”

— Jessica B.

“I want to thank Jasmin Manning for capturing the most precious moments of our wedding! You did a phenomenal job. Words can't even describe the quality of work you do. It truly takes a special person to be able to do that! So talented! If anyone needs a photographer to capture your special moments, choose Monocle Project, they are totally worth it!”

— Sarah & Brian N.

Family & Lifestyle

Editorial & posing skills

“They love what they do, and it shows! They went over and above for us. They also know exactly what it takes to get a great shot, expertly able to clearly and quickly direct their subject and turn them into supermodels! Their post production work is also second to none, being able to give their work that "magazine" look that turns photos into something really special.”

— Ruth & Darren

“Ryan of the Monocle Project carries the best possible combination of things you want in a family photographer: someone who seamlessly pulls together all the best elements of a scene, all while making everyone feel completely at ease. He's a natural with kids and captured the most gorgeous expressions in our family. Past photo sessions with other photographers have felt frantic, strained, rushed, and fussy; this experience with the Monocle Project, by contrast, was a positive and relaxing one, and the photos prove it.”

— Wendy M.

“Ryan & Jasmin…two of the best photographers in California. Thank you so much for making my daughters pictures come alive through your camera…I rate both of you 100+ stars!! Excellent work and very fun young couple. I recommend everyone to use Monocle Project!!”

“Our portrait session with Monocle Project was an amazing experience! This is our 4th family portrait session with Monocle Project, and as always, Jasmin and Ryan, you both are so professional, personal and right on target! Thank you for bringing out the best sides of our family and for capturing those moments perfectly!”

— Wilson Family

“Just look at their albums…they speak for themselves.”
