Monica was truly the best wedding photographer that my husband and I could have asked for. I had the pleasure of meeting Monica when she photographed my sister's wedding in 2011, and knew when I got married, I wanted to work with her. The richn...

ess of color in her photos, the composition, etc. - she is a true professional. She also was so great to work with. My husband wasn't sold on taking engagement photos, but I made him go through with it. When we started shooting, it was like SUPER easy and comfortable. He was so impressed with how relaxed he felt and how Monica made him feel. When we booked her in 2019, we weren't sure how the logistics of our big day would work as we were getting married in SF and having our reception in the East Bay. She was super accommodating and flexible in meeting our needs. Our wedding photos were INCREDIBLE - literally, our favorite thing to do is look at our album on our anniversary. And she left such an impression my SIL ended up booking her for her wedding, and I've been asked for her contact info a few times - just showing how much people enjoyed her work and presence. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!

What whirlwind! Our relationship with Monica goes back a bit. She photographed my friend’s wedding last year. After we got engaged my fiancé and I knew we were hiring her for both our engagement shoot and special day. She took our ideas and ele...

vated them to a whole other level. Her photographs are displayed in our house and both of our family’s homes. There’s no doubt we will continue to cherish her work with every passing year. And the video! Seriously need tissues every time we watch it lol! Her attention to detail is so keen she captures things you forgot about. Monica is upbeat, professional and amazing at her craft! I seriously recommend her all the time!

Monica was the absolute best for our engagement photoshoot. She took care in making the experience unique to our relationship, helping scout places and then going to multiple locations across San Francisco that were special to us. Our photos ca...

me out amazing and made our wedding announcements so special and personalized. We were so bummed she was booked on our wedding day, otherwise we would have hired her for that too -- so be sure to book with her ASAP! Since the engagement shoot, she's also done our maternity and newborn photos, well as a few family shoots. I love having a photographer that grows with us as a family. Five stars and two thumbs up, for sure!

Hi there! My name is Monica. My passion for photography started at a young age and I have always loved creating beautiful spaces around me. My photographic lifestyle grew professionally and MDP has been established in 2014. When I'm not making amazing wall art for my clients I love hanging with my family making our own memories. We love traveling, cooking good food, and laughing... A Lot! I would love to get to know you and hear all about your special day. Reach out and let me know when would be a good time to connect.
