Lauren and Rob and I met at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles on a rainy Sunday afternoon for their engagement photos. Lauren’s vintage dress and retro train case and Rob’s stylish suit all fit perfectly with the art deco architecture of the train station. After exploring the amazing interiors, the rain let up enough for us to go out to the train platform. An Amtrak train was waiting to depart and we so we got to use it as an extra prop!
Wonderful work, Jessica. I especially love the last 3 shots near the tracks.
Love how with the red of her shoes contrast with her dress of blue. Beautiful colors! What a stylish couple you have there!
Very nice. Seems like modern retro to me for some reason. I like it!
Her red shoes are soo cute! My favorites are the pictures in front of the Amtrak train. The black and gray of their clothing matches the metal of the train, and it really highlights her shoes and bag along with the Amtrak logo.
Great work, love the theme and portraits
How lovely! They look like they are about to set off on an adventure. I especially love the train shot that includes the porter.
Gosh, this should be an ad for Amtrak. They look so awesome. I love her outfit, and the shot of them in front of the train with the attendant peeking out is my favorite.
Oh the shoes!!! Too adorable. Love the location, his tie, all of it, gorgeous shots.
Haha, I adore that shot of the worker peeking out of the train window at them- adorable!! This set is so gorgeous. :D
Beautiful Jess. I looooove her shoes :)
great session, looks like a rad couple too.
Beautiful session Jessica.. love the styling of it all!
This session is so freaking cute! I absolutely LOVE Amtrak trains!
Love the idea – you did an awesome job, Jessica!
great idea and beautifully done!
Oh wow, love the location. Have to say her red shoes are perfect too. Stunning photos, Jessica!
How perfectly are they dressed! I also love the one with the attendant peeking out. Great work Jess. :)
I want to go on a trip now! Beautiful session :)
You’re a natural at making them look… natural. Really nice.
Nice place for a shoot! I love the shot of the employee looking out the window of the train at them, haha!
They’re all beautiful but the black and whites…especially that last one…are amazing! Plus those red shoes are just awesome.
Last year, some photographer friends of mine started the amazing wedding photojournalism blog Moment Junkie, and then as a spinoff this year, started a blog dedicated to everyone’s favorite wedding decor item – Mason Jar Junkie. Today’s MJJ post is actually my second time being featured, but is extra cool because it’s one of the 35mm toy camera shots I took at Adam and Evangeline’s wedding. Here’s that image and a few more of the beautiful mason jars they had there:
Flowers and decor by Curly Willow in Ojai. All toy camera shots were taken with the Diana Mini Jiyu, on Kodak Portra 800.

Everything about Adam and Evangeline’s wedding was meaningful, sweet, and adorable. They got married on their 7th anniversary, which was the same thing my husband and I did, so I knew from early on we would have some cool stuff in common. The couple got ready at Emerald Iguana Inn, where Adam and the guys celebrated by toasting with the same beer he had on his first date with Evangeline, before doing the first look. The ceremony took place at Mediation Mount overlooking the gorgeous hills and valleys of Ojai. The intimate ceremony had 25 guests and was so personal that Evangeline’s mom actually officiated it. After the ceremony, we wandered through the retreat’s gardens and took portraits as the sun was setting. Then we headed over to Azu restaurant for the reception, filled with warm toasts, delicious food, and some amazing dance moves to the couple’s awesome iPod playlist. Such a beautiful day!

Really beautiful work! Love the holga images.
I met up with Kristen and Will at the University of La Verne in San Dimas for their engagement photos. After exploring different parts of the campus, we headed over to Bonelli Park to take pictures near the lake and had some adorable ducks join in the fun. I brought my Holga TLR along for a few toy camera shots as well. Kristen has the most adorable smile and Will was making her laugh the whole morning. These two are so cute and sweet and I can’t wait for their wedding next month!

The set of the BW photos are super sweet. Love the one with his arms around her too. Cute couple!
Loving the sweet moments and the framing in the last few! Great clicks Jessica!
Such a sweet couple. Loving the Holga shots!
I really like the photograph of their feet! I realize this is a small portion of the shoot, but it’s a wonderfully composed and lit shot. You can also see a lot of personality in type of shoes someone chooses! The final shot is great, too. It really shows emotion and is great in b&w!
Jessica, you did such a great job for this sweet couple! That last frame is awesome.
I super-dig the first black and white – so sweet!
They are SO sweet together!
What a sweet couple.. that final shot is so good!
Awesome dress, Kristen! Lovely photos.
These make me smile, great gob!
They look so happy. Gorgeous work!
Love the B&W where she’s laughing. Great moment, Jessica!
