Just came back from another e-session at the Santa Monica Pier within 3 weeks. While scanning through all the images, this one just caught my attention. Check back next week for the full teaser.

December 17, 2008 Nina & Derek :: Engaged...against all odds!

Man oh man! Let's just say nothing went our way on this particulate day. One of two locations where we wanted to shoot at wasn't open when we showed up. Then when we got to our second location which was at the Santa Monica Pier, there was this major layer of fog that was engulfing the pier. But like true professionals ;) we rolling up our sleeves and went to work. Thank you Nina and Derek for being such troopers.

Love them! I think the fog adds to the mood of the pics in the second location.

These have to be my favorite engagement pics. I've seen at the pier and I'm not saying that cause your our photog. or anything =) They're really unique! You'd never know you bumped into those obstacles by looking at these photos. Great job Jason, love it!

November 27, 2008 Jhoanne + Erick :: Engaged :: The Lab

I met up with Jhoanne and Erick at The Lab in Costa Mesa last week for their fun session. Must admit shooting with these two are just too much fun. They have such a great personality and connection with one another. Thanks guys for making my job look so easy and for putting up with my shenanigans.

Love all the colours, just amazing! :)

Really like the 4th from the bottom where it looks like you shot the pic through a window and the Christmas lights are in the background. Also like the 2nd to last one - funny and playful =)

[December 2, 2008 02:52 AM] Jhoanne & Erick said:

Thank you for everything Jason!!! You captured our personalities & went with it with a passion! I'm using the one captured inside the glass for the save the dates :). I can't wait to see the pics you will capture on our wedding day. I know it will be as great as these ones!

October 21, 2008 Giselle + Ted :: Engaged!!

Giselle and Ted are so much fun to be around. They are so thoughtful and kind. But What I really love about them is that they are never afraid to be goofy and always willing to go the extra mile for a great shot. We started at the LA Union Station where we were blessed with some gorgeous light. Afterward, we proceeded to finish our session at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Everything went incredibly well. So here is a little teaser.

I am so looking forward to your wedding next year. Take care!

Jason, I don't know Ted & Giselle but they look amazing!! These are great pictures!!
I am sure that they would be very excited and happy to share them with everyone they know. Man, they probably can't wait for their wedding...

Hi Jason, I'm Giselle's sister and I can't tell you how much I love the photos. They're fabulous!! I especially love the photo where the lens is catching the sun rays and creating an amazing rainbow around Giselle & Ted. Beautiful shot! Looking forward to meeting you at the wedding!

Jason thank you for taking pictures that I will adore for a life time. You did such an amazing job. The pictures are artistic and they really captured what Ted and I feel for one another.

Great stuff! Amazing light, great angles and composition, amazing shoot! I just discovered your blog through Ryan Jones' Blog. I'll be coming back for more updates. Keep up the great work, I look forward to seeing more!

These are engagement pictures like no others I have ever seen! Truly artistic and creative. I can't wait to see the wedding pictures in just eight months. Addison loves the pictures as well!!!

[October 27, 2008 10:09 AM] caroline tran said:

Another amazing set, Jason! I always enjoy the intensity in your photos.

[October 27, 2008 04:15 PM] Ryan said:

So today I was thinking to myself "dude, I haven't seen any of Jason's updates for a while. What the hell?" So I mosey over to my RSS and notice the last post of yours saying I HAVE A NEW BLOG or something like that. So, I'm the smart guy who forgot to update your blog in my reader. But I did take about 30 minutes and look at all your new stuff. Incredible stuff bro. And that ring shot: insane!

[October 29, 2008 06:22 AM] Mary Marantz said:

These are STUNNING!! Beautiful work!

August 25, 2008 Michelle & Sina...Engaged!

Michelle and Sina are two of the coolest clients that I have the privilege of working with. There is a great sense of style and grace about them...especially when they are together. As you will see through these images, the connection between them is undeniable. We started out at the historic Bradbury building and worked our ways through the neighborhood.

Jason ... we had so much fun doing this photo session with you. What I totally appreciate is your passion to frame and compose beautiful images. For example, just as we were leaving after the shoot was done, you asked us to come back cause you saw that one last photo opp! We left thinking, "wow, he loves his craft!" and thought about how we could have made it even better. Last thing we wanted was a passionless photographer and we were not disappointed. We hope that we'll have even more passion and energy to match yours on the day of our wedding! A million thanks, Jason!

jason, your work is so inspiring. i love the way you look at things and process your images to evoke the most emotion out of them. loving the new blog, by the way!

[September 26, 2008 11:49 PM] Amanda Auer said:

FUN and funky! I love the elevator shot. I love the hallway shot. I love a LOT of these!

[September 30, 2008 08:41 AM] Jack T said:

the pictures are cool, great location, but they don't really look like engagement pictures. i disagree there is no super chemistry between the couple. they are never smiling and never really looking at each other like they are in love, like its their engagement period. it kind of looks like a story, he messed up, she wants to forgive him blah blah blah, but the pictures are funky, i do like the second picture a lot and the picture in front of the iron doors is very addams family like

freakin' great images... really fun, beautiful couple! very very nice... found you on Elizabeth Anne, enjoy your work :)
