To put into words how grateful we are that Monica captured our elopement day is honestly tough. My husband and I wanted to feel as though we had the wedding of our dreams, and we knew we wanted the pictures to showcase just that. Monica delivered! The way Monica was able to capture our love at the waterfall and the ruins to allow our loved ones to feel the emotions as they viewed our photos was everything we had hoped it would be. Our friends and family members; are in awe of how she beautifully displayed our love. My husband and I plan to go back to Belize and celebrate our anniversary, and we plan on connecting with Monica to capture our growing love (and hopefully our future little one). Monica's professionalism, thoughtfulness, and creative eye made our day feel extra special. We highly recommend working with her as, Monica is a true artist! -

Monica was recommended by our wedding coordinator in Belize. He spoke verify highly of her ability to capture those special moments for her clients. We ended up hiring her for our wedding day pictures and could not have been happier with her work!!
Meeting and working with her was such a pleasure. She has a fun, vibrant personality. I was concerned that my husband was going to have a problem with the "romantic" poses. He can be a bit shy about PDA. She made us both so comfortable and that really comes across in every picture!
She captured our favorite shots on the pier and at golden hour; knew exactly how to pose us to capture that perfect feeling.
Highly recommend Monica!! -

Literally everything I wanted and more in a photographer! I don’t think I imagined just how perfect these photos would come out. One of my biggest complaints about photographers is when they over-saturate photos and the subject looks fake. This was not the problem AT ALL. Every photo looked and embraced the natural beauty of San Pedro and us as a couple. Super friendly, budget-conscience, gorgeous fotos like what more can you ask for🤷🏾♀️
Seriously, without a question, would recommend them in a heartbeat. -

Loved working with Monica!
We loved having Monica as our photographer! She was extremely professional and efficient. Never having had photos taken professionally before, she made us feel at ease with the entire process. The photos came out looking wonderful! I was worried since it was so windy that they wouldn’t come out, but Monica worked her magic and they look great! -

Monica from start to finish made our experience easy and fun. She listened to us and went above and beyond to make our special day just that.
We were worried coming in from out of the country and not knowing what to expect. Monica quickly made us feel comfortable and really listened to what we wanted for our day. She had her own ideas and helped fill in some of the gaps we weren’t even thinking of. It was a fun day and her pictures captured it beautifully. We were blown away by the photos and couldn’t recommend her more. -

Exceptional all the way around
Our wedding planner referred Monica as the best photographer in Belize and she was 100% correct. From day one, Monica was super transparent, accommodating, and pleasant. We started planning our destination wedding 1 year in advance aka I had a TON of time to think of questions and make a list of must-have shots. Monica was so great with answering all those questions and managing my expectations. When the big day came her and her team felt like friends shooting my wedding which made everything that much easier. Not only did she She picked out a GORGEOUS place near our venue to get the couple shots but she got the amazing in-between real-life (makeup being touched up, chefs cooking etc) shots during the entire day, worked extremely well with our videographer and managed to get our pictures back in less than a month. If I could give her a million stars I would. If you need a photographer, this is the team to go with! -

I want to start off by saying that both Monica and Astrid were amazing. Astrid was my photographer, while Monica did the editing. Astrid was punctual, which is a good start, though my wife was not lol. That didn't matter, Astrid was super patient and by the time we got down to meet her in the lobby of the hotel she was ready to go. We hung out for a bit and explained our vision, which was basically "just take some bad ass photos and don't force us to get into any cheesy ass poses, because we won't". She was not only ok with that, but she loved the freedom and it shows. The way she is able to capture the natural light of the sun, hit some amazing angles and give us multiple versions of different scenarios was on point. She was super friendly and as awkward as it must have been for her to be the 5th wheel in a wedding party of 2 (plus me and the wife), she did great at joining in conversations on the way to location without feeling like she was forcing herself in. After all is said and done, she was professional, personable, accommodating and overall bad ass!
Monica was the master editor of the album. She was able to pump out 100+ pics in just under a week. We loved the edits, thought we wanted a bit more color and minor changes. Once we voiced that to Monica, with no hesitation she went back to work and again in under a week, pumped out some fantastic work. The color schemes, the brightness and the clarity all exceeded expectations and the "Monica touch" was evident. She did a fantastic job, I would recommend both of these artist without a second thought. -

We were and are over the moon with the services provided. Astrid arrived early, discussed our preferences, and what we would be comfortable doing for our shoot. She proposed some very creative ideas and captured every moment beautifully. Monica did an excellent job at editing the photos to our liking, bringing out the beautiful and vibrant colors of our backdrop as we remembered it. Thank you for helping us create the perfect wedding memory that we can now keep forever and share with our loved ones. You guys are awesome! -

Absolute treasure
As an older couple getting married the second time around we knew exactly what we wanted- to have photos that truly captured the youthful joy that we felt! Monica was so fun and easy to work with right throughout the day as we prepared for the wedding, as well as during and after the ceremony. When I received our photos, I honestly cried happy tears as her pictures not only captured special moments of love, laughter and pure joy, but also just the essence of our relationship. Her pictures tell our love story in the most beautiful way possible. I highly recommend her service and will treasure these photos. -

We are from the US and decided to get married in Belize in June 2021. We were set up with Monica through our wedding planning company and, coincidentally, she was the only one I had previously contacted privately about photos because I loved her portfolio. Monica was incredibly friendly, easy to work with and made our special day less stressful and enjoyable. The pictures are beautiful and we couldn't be happier with them. -

Perfection
Monica was amazing. She was a blast to work with, and went above and beyond on my wedding day. From making sure she captured all the little moments, to helping me get my dress on just right, I felt like I had a friend with me. She joked around with us, and make us feel super comfortable.
And of course, the pictures were just 1000% amazing. -
