If you're thinking about hiring Monica as your wedding photographer - do it! We were initially drawn to her bright and natural style and had such a good introductory call that we knew we had to work with her. Monica did our engagement session as well as our wedding photos. She is really good at giving direction so you don't feel too posed or awkward - this was especially helpful during the engagement shoot. She even drove us to dinner when we were going to be late for our reservation after our engagement shoot -- above and beyond. On our wedding day, she made our friends and family feel so comfortable, captured the details and energy of our wedding perfectly and we are thrilled with the photos. Monica is also just good energy and fun to be around.

We’re so glad that Moni was our wedding photographer! We recently received our wedding photos and they are a DREAM. From our engagement shoot to the wedding day, she was professional throughout the process. She was always responded in a timely manner, scheduled all the check-ins in advance, helped us with our wedding timeline, and hyped us up as we were taking photos.

We talked with a handful of photographers but none of them quite checked all the boxes for us. After our first call with Moni, we knew we finally found our photographer! Moni makes you feel at ease when she is photographing you and she goes the extra mile to get the perfect shot! She knew that we wanted golden hour photos, during our cocktail hour she noticed the sun was going down earlier than expected and rearranged our timeline a bit so we can catch the remainder of the golden light.

Highly recommend Moni, she was one of the best decisions for our wedding. Thank you for everything, Moni! We can’t wait to work with you for other life milestones.

After browsing through photographers throughout the Bay Area, my partner and I decided to go with Monica and we were just amazed at how easy she was to work with. Neither my partner or I felt comfortable taking photos in general but she eased us into the process. Not only was Monica very accommodating to our schedules but as we got closer to the big day, she was willing to meet with us a few more times to make sure everything was in order.

On the wedding day, Monica was right on time and made sure that both sides were taken care of throughout all the chaos and the sessions never felt like a chore. Even when my partner and I made some major last minute decisions, Monica continued to accommodate our needs.

We absolutely LOVED how our pictures turned out as it gave us the natural, "dream-like" shots that included some precise details we didn't quite see in other wedding photos we've seen. I would highly recommend Monica for her flexibility, professionalism throughout the process, creativity in picking locations, and simple but natural shots that can make a huge difference in your photos. Also brownie points for the timeliness of the first look and full albums that come in easy-to-use links!
