Monica Kirchner

Owner

Hey there! I'm Monica, the owner of Atlas Photography! I’ve had a love for photography for over a decade, starting out as a landscape photographer and gradually transitioning into capturing moments with people. My journey took me to a management role at a lake resort at Priest Lake, Idaho, where I had the privilege of working at countless weddings. Over the years, I’ve become well-versed in the flow and timing of a wedding day, and I’m dedicated to making sure you feel comfortable and enjoy every minute of your special occasion. To me, photography is art, and I would love to be the artist who captures the beauty and emotion of your story.

Monica is THE BEST. Her energy, enthusiasm, kindness, encouragement, and personality made such a difference on our wedding day! She was so excited, it made the experience all the more fun for us! She had great ideas for locations, backgrounds, lighting, etc. She is so easy to talk to, it was like having another best friend there! We loved our wedding photos, and I think she did an incredible job of capturing our day. If anything, I wish we'd had more time with her because the day just goes by too quickly! Can't recommend her enough, a great person, and a great photographer!

t communicator. She took on so much from me (sorry Mon), from my confidence issues, to family not listening during pictures, lateness, etc. I got mud on my dress during first look, and she gave me the minute I needed to compose myself because I was pretty upset. I’m not a confident person with pictures and she literally melted that away in seconds. I went to feeling like a sexy bridal model. Her instructions could not have been more clear and it was we needed. The entire wedding loved her, she is SO FUN, a truly INCREDIBLE photographer and person. I would hire Monica again if I were to plan it all over, no doubt. We met her at an expo and really hit it off, and I’m thankful everyday that I met her. A wedding day can be extremely, extremely overwhelming and maybe I showed some frustrations, but Monica didn’t. My driver couldn’t get me to my first look, so I started walking (through Manito) and Monica came to meet me! I was upset that I was late and barefoot and Monica was smiling, excited, and instantly changed the vibe. She answered questions and really put MY mind at ease, I was nervous about pictures but she somehow made me feel so natural. She’s magic. She’s lovely. She’s fun and fantastic. You’d be lucky to meet Monica and luckier for her to capture your moments.

Absolutely Amazing! Monica was a lifesaver! We booked her last minute for our wedding, and she completely exceeded our expectations. Her ability to capture stunning moments, like the breathtaking sunset photos, is incredible. She effortlessly blended into the background while still capturing all the essential shots. We felt like she was part of the family by the end of the night. Five stars all around!

I have only the best things to say about Monica - not only is she a very talented photographer, she is also just an amazing and kind person! She was such a pleasure to have at our wedding and she certainly elevated our experience. Her attention to detail, fun spirit, and flexibility helped make our day go smooth. Monica was also incredibly helpful in the planning process - she gave some great advice, helped out with our timeline, and pointed out beautiful locations for photos. And the photos she takes are just incredible, we love every picture that we got from our engagement shoot and our wedding! We couldn't be happier with our wedding gallery and would recommend Atlas Photography to anyone!

We loved working with Monica! She was super patient with our family during family photos, she made the whole process easier. I love how the pictures turned out. Monica made me feel beautiful while capturing the special moments during our day! Thank you, Monica!

Tiffany was so great to work with!! From the beginning, I could tell how organized, experienced, and detailed she is and knew that we made the right decision to book with her. Tiffany was easy going, had some great suggestions, and took a lot of the stress out of the planning process. When it came to the wedding day, we had both Tiffany and Cara- they both were super flexible, structured but still fun to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable. We had a wet and cold day- Tiffany was already prepared for inclement weather and made the best out of the situation to give us special moments and beautiful shots. We couldn't recommend Atlas Photography more!!

It is truly incredible what this woman was able to do in just a couple of hours- she even drove an extra 4 HOURS to be at the venue because I got the address wrong 😭😅 Monica was professional and I loved her energy (I have an anxiety disorder and she never had me feeling on edge). The experience was magical and our photos came out better than I could have imagined. Highly HIGHLY recommend Atlas Photography.

I am so happy with my pictures. Monica is amazing. She was such a pleasure to have at my wedding taking pictures and I absolutely love the results. I couldn’t have asked for more. She sent me so many more pictures then I expected and they are amazing. I am so happy I chose her to photograph our wedding day. I have a very large family and she was able to get those huge family pictures I wanted. I knew it would be like herding cats to get them together for pictures but she did it. I would highly recommend her.

Monica is incredibly personable and continuously strives to put your needs first. She has a wide variety of skills and is passionate about her job. She arrived at our venue early and worked continuously into the evening and provided us with amazing photographs. She captured every important moment of our big day and had an incredibly positive attitude. I would recommend Monica to all my friends and family, she provides quality, reliability and professionalism. We were blown away by our experience working with Monica, and had a wonderful experience.
