Wedding 10-16-21

I don’t even know if I have the words to say how amazing Monica is. She’s worked with us for almost 2 years with our elopement in 2020 and our renewal on October 16, 2021. She’s friendly, kind, funny, responsive, organized, helpful, and overall amazing photographer. I’m so sad to not have a wedding anymore and not work with her. Absolutely highly recommend 🥰

Best Wedding Photographer Ever!

We booked Monica because our first meeting with her felt like we were just talking to a friend. From our engagement shoot, to multiple postponements, to the final wedding day, she always approached every situation with good energy and enthusiasm. Our August wedding day felt like 100 degrees, but Monica and her team were outside rallying with the bridal party anyways even though we were all sweating (which you can’t even tell in the photos by the way!) When we ran into an issue with the bustle of the dress, she swooped right in and saved the day. Having Monica shoot our wedding was honestly like having your best friend follow you around and take your photos. At the end of the night we were so sad to say goodbye! Thank you Monica for capturing all our precious moments and providing top-notch service. Wouldn’t have been the same without you!

I cry happy tears every time I see our pictures!!

From the engagement session to the wedding day itself Monica has been an absolute angel and the confidence I needed! I don’t typically like any photos of myself, nor do I like taking pictures AT ALL. Monica made it so fun and natural and I think I literally laughed and smiled through our entire engagement session. And the pictures are honestly amazing. I never thought I’d find myself saying that. EVER! I wanted one thing when choosing a photographer and that was a focus on natural light. This girl knows what she’s doing when it comes to her camera, you in front of it, and working with/around Mother Nature!! Our wedding day was flawless, she was early, prompt and ready to get started. She worked alongside the videographer and day of coordinators and everyone was a team, it was literally the most amazing day ever and I was confident that monica would get every shining moment. And she didn’t disappoint!! I haven’t even received them all yet and I cry I’m so in love with our sneak peak pictures!! Ladies.. I’m telling you she’s the wedding photographer of your dreams!!!
