When we first crossed paths with Evan + Jocelyn nearly 3 years ago, we knew that this pair was a special & unstoppable force. So when the opportunity came to finally capture their divine wedding at Los Poblanos, it was one we knew we’d never forget.
These hunnies first met several years ago in 2016 through mutual friends while Jocelyn was visiting Los Angeles for a Van Morrison concert. After a day filled with day drinking & a good time with friends, Evan and Jocelyn immediately became inseparable. When Jocelyn had to return to Las Vegas, where she was working on her Masters, Evan offered to drive her to the airport and within a week he also made the trip to Nevada to see her again. Not too long after their initial spark, Evan asked Jocelyn to be his girlfriend at the Los Angles County Art Museum, an extremely special location that would also be the site of his proposal just a few years later.
Despite the continual challenges of 2020 and the pandemic’s constant presence, Evan and Jocelyn found the most glorious journey to their next chapter together. After postponing their wedding an entire year and cutting their guest list down from 180 to less than 30, these angels were able to make it last name official on a beyond serene July evening.
Besides simply being two of the most stunning humans we’ve ever encountered, Evan and Jocelyn also included some of the most heartfelt details into their day. Jocelyn’s ring carries two diamonds that once belonged to Evan’s grandmother, a Holocaust survivor who brought the diamonds to America from the jewelry store her family owned back in Gelsenkirchen, Germany after WWII. And if it wasn’t already beyond obvious that Evan and Jocelyn are soulmates, they realized that the wedding day letters they wrote to each other matched their vows verbatim. These moments and so many of the other highlights that were a part of Evan and Jocelyn’s joyful day, truly made this celebration one beyond anything we could’ve imagined. To top it all off, we were blessed with the most serene weather during a week where we had seen monsoon-like rainstorms and high winds, truly a sign from the universe that Jocelyn and Evan’s love is a force to be reckoned with.
We’re forever enamored with love stories like Evan and Jocelyn’s, a connection that is so deeply influenced by the love that came before it & will certainly inspire everyone around it for years to come.
