Jasmin and Ryan of Monocle Project are two of the most talented, and passionate photographers you'll meet. We loved working with them, not only were they super fun and friendly but professional as well. You know they take their craft seriously when you can geek out with them about Apple products, lenses and design software! They have captured some of the most beautiful and treasured moments of our wedding and we couldn't be happier! Thank you Monocle Project!

We had a family weekend in Palm Springs and contacted Jasmin and Ryan to come and take family photos for us. They were very responsive and showed up when we asked. They did a great job taking some great photos of our family that we will cherish for a long time. I would highly recommend them and will use them again in the future.

Jasmin and Ryan of Monocle Project could very well be the coolest, nicest, sweetest hardworking photographer duo in all of Southern California. They have a very easy going style which makes all the difference when having one's photo taken. They have creative, joyful ideas for shoots and are beyond experts when it comes to lighting (super important!). It's becomes very easy to trust their guidance during session - as a subject, you actually end up wanting to make them happy which is rare but awesome to experience. They're also exceptional at meeting deadlines. Don't let their age fool you, they are consummate professionals who treat their clients with enthusiasm, kindness and deliver top service. ANYONE who needs a picture for ANYTHING whatsoever should not hesitate to call them! I've heard they are awesome for weddings / wedding parties - not surprising - but casual portraits could also be their strong suit. You will really love your pictures! I look forward to working with them again.

Ryan and Jasmin are an absolute pleasure to work with. They love what they do, and it shows! They went over and above for us, and shot well outside their scope because they are all about getting you the best result they can produce - whatever that takes!
The fact they are husband and wife shows as their synergy when working together is breathtaking to behold. 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 with results that will "wow" everyone who sees them.
Their enthusiasm is highly infectious, and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Jasmin and Ryan. Talented beyond words. Not only are you the kindest people, you have a gift of capturing moments in the most beautiful way. Your talent is unprecedented. I am overjoyed that we get to work with you and also have become great friends. I don't know how but you outdo yourselves each and every time. I am in absolute love and awe with these images of my precious daughter and will cherish them forever. Thank you for everything. Love you guys!

My husband and I were looking for a portrait shoot to help celebrate our babymoon to Palm Springs. As maternity photography can error on rather cheesy sometimes, we were hoping to find someone with an artistic eye that would provide a more elevated aesthetic. So happy we found Jasmin and Ryan!
We were referred to Monocle Project through our hotel. Living in SF, we are completely unfamiliar with the area. Jasmin and Ryan graciously worked with our preferences to set-up the ideal location for us and even met us in Joshua Tree National Park for our session.
They are an absolute pleasure to work with! They clearly love what the do and enjoy bouncing ideas off each other, which as an added bonus, provides two photographers with two perspectives for their clients. They are warm, professional, and clearly enthusiastic about getting "that perfect shot". I also appreciated their attention to detail, noting when hair or jewelry needed adjusting, and so on. We are deeply thrilled with the quality of their work and will appreciate these photos for years to come! Thank you Jasmin and Ryan!

Jasmin and Ryan were/are amazing! They are artists and have an undeniable passion for their craft… I mean the two of them have designed their own camera holsters so that they can have 2-3 cameras at the ready so that they have the right camera for whatever shot presents itself. Ryan was great with me and my guys… he effectively herded a group of semi-drunk cats and produced some awesome shots all while making sure that we were where we needed to be because the wedding was running 45 minutes late. Most importantly though is their use of light that makes them so very good. Both Ryan and Jasmin capture the emotion and action or stillness or whatever of every moment they capture… the work the produced for my wife and me of our wedding, reception and after party are quite remarkable. They are both so very easy to work with and are just good people to hang out with (your photographer is with and around you all day so it helps immensely if you like him/her). Booking Ryan and Jasmin was one of the best things we did for our wedding, if not the best, by far! They make sure they know what you want and they give it to you. They also know what you need and their documentary style of photography makes sure that those shots/moments get captured whether you specifically ask for them or not. Their work will literally last a lifetime for my wife and I and we could not be happier. So stop reading this and book Monocle yesterday!

I had the honor and privilege to work along side Ryan and Jasmin this weekend as the planner of a large wedding at the Classic Club. I cannot express how wonderful they were! They went above and beyond to not only ensure every shot was captured but that everyone was taken care of from the bride and groom to the vendors. They stepped in helped everywhere they could to make the wedding run smoothly. They were flexible when an extra shot needed to be added last minute and did it with a smile. They are the most genuine and caring couple and extremely talented! If you’re a bride reading this review do yourself a favor and hire these Amazing photographers, I promise you will be so glad you did!

I contacted Monocle Project last minute on a Friday for a surprise maternity shoot during a baby moon getaway to Palm Springs with my wife. With little notice and a busy schedule, Jasmin was generous enough to squeeze us in for a Sunday sunrise shoot at a location in Palm Springs. We didn't know what to expect but Jasmin was fantastic. She gave us enough direction to get the shots she wanted while giving us the freedom to be ourselves and enjoy the shoot. The photos were edited and delivered to us in just over a week!! She captured so many great moments and provided us with way more maternity shots than we expected. I would highly recommend Monocle project for any shoot. My wife was thrilled with the results. Thank you Monocle Project

I would definitely recommend the Monocle Project to anyone. Things I really appreciated:
-Jasmin's help scheduling and booking the session (and sticking with me even when I dropped off communication for a bit while planning, even though she was great and so professional the whole time).
-Super easy and straight-forward contract signing and payment options.
-Willingness to meet us in Joshua Tree (even with the shutdown). Met on time at the entrance and even brought walkie talkies so we could communicate once the cell service gave out.
-Ryan's (photographer) demeanor and personality was so fun -- and kind of pulled us out of our shells throughout the photo session. We all loved him!
-The photos are beautiful. Really awesome quality -- and delivered within the time range promised. Everyone in my family loves them.
-Complete access to our prints to download and use as we see fit -- or order through them.
Thanks to Monocle Project for helping us get some updated family photos. I love them! I gave the photo as a session to my parents for Christmas and it was such a hit. Really recommend this idea to anyone.
