Monica and her team were awesome to work with. She is so detail oriented and easy going at the same time. Thankfully she talked us through things making things efficient and fun as...
we are both not the most comfortable in front of a camera and never know how to pose. She was accommodating and able to do whatever to make our day perfect. We ended up getting some rain the day of our wedding during the ceremony and reception and she didn't let it slow her or her team down at all. She jumped right in to help us and quite literally weathered the storm with us to get the perfect shots. She and her team were constantly helping pick up my dress or seeing if I needed anything which was totally unexpected, but very appreciated. We had the best time getting to know her and really were thankful to have her as part of our day and as our photographer. Needless to say, her shots of the day were beautiful and fully captured the biggest day of our lives helping us tell our story.

ything we wanted and more! A moment that stands out to me is when a bunch of things were happening and I was feeling overwhelmed (and apparently was showing it on the outside too), Monica grabbed my hands and said “I am here for YOU, whatever you want or need we will make it happen”. She truly did an amazing job! We have gotten SO many compliments on our previews so far and I am so excited to see the rest! It was a 10/10 experience working with her from the beginning of the planning process until the send off! I truly can’t recommend her enough!

ackage all the way around! There were a few bumps in the road on my wedding day and Monica was like “what? Bumps? Put this thing in four wheel drive, LET’S GO!” I love her energy and her assistant was also top tier. I got a sneak peak within DAYS and when I received my full album my husband literally said “I can’t look at any more pictures” because there was SO many. She captured everything from start to finish, I was in tears reliving the day. We didn’t have a videographer and honestly no regrets because the pictures I received back were everything I wanted and more. The quality and price point cannot be beat. 11/10 would recommend!!!

Monica is such a dream to work with! She does beautiful work and tries her best to match her photography with your style. Neither myself nor my husband are big picture people, but ...
she makes the photo session so chill and fun that it didn't even feel like we were having our picture taken. She is so kind and treated us like we've known her for years. Any picture ideas we had or requests we made she incorporated. She is a great communicator and is very easy to talk to! We used Monica for our wedding and she was a literal lifesaver. We were running behind on hair and makeup and she took control of the situation to make sure that we did not get too off track while also managing to capture all the moments that I wanted to have photographed. She went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and to reassure me that everything was going to be perfect. Monica helped keep this anxious bride calm and reminded me to appreciate and take in every second of my special day. She is organized and methodical, but also so much fun to be around. She has a great eye for getting that just right sunset picture or catching a candid moment that you'll always remember. Monica is extremely reasonable with her pricing and she doesn't watch the clock or speed you along because she truly values and enjoys her clients. I could not have chosen or prayed for anyone more perfect to photograph our wedding. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer to capture your special moments!

Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️
