About

My photography is designed for creatives, story-tellers and dreamers. I capture the ‘in-between’ moments that evoke emotion, creativity, whimsy & romance. Embracing and celebrating your unique story means I strive to create an atmosphere that is relaxed, comfortable and easy to feel like yourself in! Nothing excites me more than working with like-minded people, that believe photography should be about real and natural story-telling with a little edge.

My DREAM wedding photos! Look no further!

Monica did an absolutely amazing job on our wedding photos. I immediately knew I wanted her as my photographer when I saw how she edits and captures the moment in every photo. She was prompt, reliable, professional, and overall, a great person to talk to! She took charge of the photo placement and pose ideas which allowed us to just enjoy and not think of what we had to do. I did have a couple ideas, and she was more than happy to try out my idea. She went above and beyond on all of the moments she captured! Monica took photos of everything you could imagine! The setup of the ceremony and reception, during all of the events, and some amazing alone photos of just my husband and I. One of the best parts was the candid images during the dancing. So many photos we can look back on and see how happy everyone was! It was truly spectacular! She was affordable but very high quality, guided those that can be camera shy to feel comfortable, and got our images back in 3.5 weeks which is very short considering all of the edited images we received back. I HIGHLY recommend Monica. Thank you again!

Monica Made Our Wedding Photos Absolutely Perfect!

My husband and I got married in Caye Caulker and didn’t know any local photographers, so I spent a lot of time searching until I found Monica. Her portfolio immediately stood out, showcasing her incredible eye for capturing beautiful moments. I was thrilled to learn she was available on our wedding day and willing to travel to the island for us.

Neither of us is particularly comfortable with posed photos and often end up looking a bit stiff, but Monica was fantastic at guiding us and making us feel at ease. The result? Stunning, natural photos that perfectly captured our day.

The turnaround time for receiving the photos was impressively quick, and her editing made them even more breathtaking. I’m so grateful to Monica for giving us the most beautiful keepsakes from our wedding day!

Amazing Belize Wedding Photographer

We husband and I were married in Belize in March of 2024. The resort gave me several photographer suggestions and after seeing Monica’s work I knew right away we wanted her to document our special day. The day of Monica was very professional and easy going. Her approach made us feel comfortable and at ease. When we received our wedding photos I was blown away at how beautiful they were. She captured the day so well. The quality and quantity of the photos we received exceeded my expectations. Both my maid of honor and officiant who are both married couldn’t believe how many quality photographs Monica included in our wedding album. I would absolutely recommend Monica if you are considering hiring her for your wedding or special day.

Las Terrazas San Pedro Wedding

Monica went above and beyond and certainly exceeded our expectations as our wedding day photographer! My husband and I found Monica through Instagram and decided to book with her when we discovered her extremely reasonable pricing for the quality of photographs she produces. Not only this, but she is clearly well known in Belize and the San Pedro area as we were told by our venue that they had worked with her previously. Monica ensures that deposits and payments are easy and streamlined, and her communication was on point. We did not expect to receive our gallery as soon as we did, so once again our expectations were exceeded and we were pleasantly surprised to receive our gallery less than a month after our wedding date! Something we admire about Monica's style is her ability to capture the most candid moments. And to top it all off, at the end of our evening together, Monica made sure to take a moment to say goodbye and recap with us the next steps after she left. Stunning job, and HIGHLY recommend Monica Gallardo Photography!

Fairytale Wedding Photos with Monica

Monica Gallardo shot both my engagement shoot and my wedding. Our experience with Monica was top tier. My husband and I both have no experience in front of a camera and she made us feel comfortable and confident. She captured our wedding perfectly with bright, airy photos. She's one of the best in the industry and we've gotten endless compliments on our photos. I'm so happy we get to keep these memories for the rest of our lives. Thank you Monica!
