Would HIGHLY Recommend!

Monica is AMAZING to work with!!
As a wedding coordinator it is very helpful to work with someone who is professional, organized, outgoing, and always there for you.
The day of the wedding she captured every important moment, took beyond beautiful photos, and was flexible with changes to the timeline.
I would work with Monica for every wedding and would HIGHLY recommend!

Engagement shoot

My engagement shoot was a surprise from my fiancé, and Monica did such a great job of directing me and encouraging us! It was such a fun experience and never felt awkward. She had lots of ideas for photos and caught lots of candid moments too! Sent us sneak peek pictures the next day.

Stunning Photos

I can't describe the happiness I feel with the photos Monica took of my engagement announcement and my wedding day. She listened to our wants, thoughts, and understood us as people to capture us the best way possible.

Monica also went the extra mile throughout it all. After our photos were done, SHE SENT SOME PRINTED ONES IN A GIFT BOX FOR US. On her own. We did not request this, or pay for it... but she sent them with a handwritten thank you note, THANKING US for letting her take part in our day. I love that about her, because we are THANKFUL we found her.

If you want someone who is talented, cool, sweet and down to earth, hire Monica and her team, you won't regret.

We Love Our Wedding Pictures

My wife and I are still in awe of all the pictures Monica Linda Photography captured of our wedding. In addition to our wedding, she did an engagement photo shoot with two outfit changes and the night before the wedding cocktail party. Monica Linda captured all these events perfectly. She put all her subjects at ease. She has a sweet, calming nature while also giving us direction to get the best shots. She took great candids and posed pictures. We also hired her for the wedding photo booth. We collaborated w her on the design and it turned out great. All our guests loved their photo booth pics. From the planning until the day of, Monica was very responsive to any questions and requests that we had. It was a pleasure to work w her. She is now our official photographer for all our future life events.

Wonderful Photographer!

Honestly, I've been looking for a photographer for months and I couldn't really pick one because they just weren't what I wanted. But once I spoke to Monica, I knew she was the one I wanted as a photographer, and stopped looking any further. She has a wonderful personality and listen to what exactly it is you are looking for on your wedding day! I loved that she took the time to video chat, to meet with me and I also loved her work. It's fantastic!!

Thank you, Monica, so much for the wonderful job you did.  You made everyone so comfortable and feel at ease the entire time. You truly capture the most amazing shots of the day of the event. The pictures you took are just perfect.  You are so talented & is truly passionate about what you do best. My sister and I couldn’t stop talking about how much we love the pictures. The photos are truly incredible – it was so much fun sitting down and going through them! Thank you again!!!!

Monica Linda Photography photographed our wedding, and my partner and I could not be happier. This team is so lovely to work with: they are professional, genuinely caring people, and really put their all into capturing your special moments. They are artistic, select poses that they think will suit the setting well, and will also work off of a shot list that you send to make sure they get all of the pictures you want. From the moment we first spoke to Monica over the phone before booking, we knew her team would be perfect for us. She gets to know you/the couple, asks what YOU want/expect, and works with you to ensure that everything is sorted out before wedding day so that it goes smoothly day of. They arrived to our home about 15 minutes before their "start time" to set up; they took pictures of us getting ready, photographed accessories, and got some great pictures of our first look. From there, they headed to our venue to photograph all of the decorations/venue before we arrived. They photographed our wedding ceremony, couple/family pictures, friends, first dance, cake cutting, dancing, toasts, etc. They didn't miss a thing. They even captured our whole group of wedding guests on the beach, which was my must-have picture! We got our pictures back in about 5 weeks (contract said 3 months), this means they're diligently working to get you your pictures as soon as they can. They have a lot of events, but they still want you to get your pictures quickly - this shows their work ethic and sincere care for their customers! The pics are amazing! She also sent a sneak peak a few days after the wedding with 5 pictures for us to enjoy - that was a great surprise while on our honeymoon! Honestly, the best decision we made for our wedding was booking with Monica Linda Photography, and I cannot thank them enough for being such incredible people to work with. Thank you Monica and Shell! You guys are the best!
P.s. They have an awesome photo booth too now, check that out!!

I would recommend Monica to everyone! You can tell she absolutely loves what she does because it radiates off her with her postiviety and upbeat personality. She made sure to ask us exactly what we wanted and our vision on how we wanted our special day captured. She definitely achieved all of our expectations and more. If you're looking for a photographer she's your gal!!!!!
