Perfection

We are so glad we found Monica and we are even more grateful she was still available after we had cancelled our original wedding plans. What a crazy year! Monica captured our mini ceremony so beautifully! It may not have been the wedding we planned but we wouldn’t change a thing! We are both so in love with the photos and can’t help staring at them for way too long haha Monica was always responsive which kept our minds at ease every step of the way.

You’ll be lucky to have Monica on your special day!

Monica is the best!

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 all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
