Monica photographed our wedding this May and was awesome. My wife and I have never had professional pictures taken of us but she made it feel like such a simple and natural process...
. We love how our pictures turned out and are so glad we hired her as our wedding photographer.
Monica is the definition of the perfect wedding photographer. My husband and I got married in May 2023 and she did both our engagement pictures and the wedding day. Monica is incre...
dibly detail oriented, authentic, and has the perfect eye to get “the shot”. I am in awe of the beauty she was able to capture on camera and I am forever grateful that my wedding day will be preserved for a lifetime. Monica was also able to help remind and husband and I to slow down during our big day so she can preserve those special moments that we wouldn’t have thought of on our own. Hiring Monica as our photographer was one of the best choices I made while wedding planning.
Monica's photos were phenomenal! We are all so pleased with how they turned out! Monica is very professional, and accommodating. She goes out of her way to make sure you are hap...
py!
One of the best things about Monica is that she immediately felt like an old friend. This helped create some of the loveliest romantic photos because even the staged “I feel silly ...
like this” poses turned out beautifully. Our photos perfectly captured the feelings Monica advertises: beautiful and authentic. She also caught moments, particularly with our parents, that we’ll treasure forever.
Monica is the BEST! She photographed my sister in law and cousin in law's wedding so we knew her work was fantastic. She did our "Save The Date" pictures and our wedding. She is so...
fun to work with- our dogs REALLY loved her! She made my husband and I feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. (She also kept me super chill on my wedding day- just directed me where to go and told people to get in pictures, etc.) She is also good at photographing you from your best angle and will pose you appropriately (no double chins in any pictures)! The light she is able to capture in photos is truly stunning. I am truly just blown away by her talent and how great our photos are. You can tell she truly loves what she does! Thank you so so much, Monica!
Monica is just a joy to work with! Due to Covid we had the opportunity to work with her three times! She photographed our engagement sessions, 1st wedding ceremony and 2nd wedding ...
(ceremony and reception). Monica helped us create a shot list that was thorough and came in really handy during the wedding. All of the photos came out great and truly captured the emotions of the day. She is so easy to work with and has a great personality so you immediately feel at ease. She shows you the best poses to give you those jaw dropping photos that also look very natural. I love light and airy photos with emotion tied in and Monica delivered exactly that!
I have nothing but kinds words for Monica Roberts Photography!!! She not only is a wonderful person to work with, but she goes above and beyond in many ways. Her images speak for t...
hemselves in terms of her talent. She obviously takes the time to review each photo to ensure that you receive the best quality photos possible. If “light & airy” is the style you’re searching for, she’s your girl! Also, her pricing and the number of photos you receive for each session is MORE than fair compared to many others. Our photos turned out absolutely STUNNING!!! She was always easily available to communicate via phone or email. She was also willing to travel to varying locations for our engagement photos and my bridal portraits. In addition, she stepped up when I needed her most. I planned my wedding during COVID, and she was with me every step of the way. She helped me figure out rescheduling, and even offered to speak to my venue directly for me whenever I was having issues with rescheduling my wedding to a later date. As you can imagine, I was frantic and stressed during this time and she did everything she could to keep me calm. The way she conducted herself throughout our entire experience was exceptional. When you trust her with capturing your special day, she becomes MORE than a wedding photographer. She becomes a vital part of your team and helps ensure the entire wedding process is an enjoyable experience for you and your spouse. We loved sharing these moments with Monica and strongly recommend her for ANY kind of photography needs.
Monica came highly recommended and she did not disappoint! The pictures are breathtaking and bring tears to my eyes every time I see them! I will cherish the moments forever thanks...
to Monica for capturing all the emotion and joy! My husband and I will have the best and happiest moments captured for the rest of our lives!
Monica was such a special part of this wedding journey. She is not only a wonderful photographer, but a wonderful person. It was truly a joy to get to work with her. She made my hu...
sband and I feel at ease during all of the sessions. We were so overjoyed when we received the wedding gallery, and we are so excited to put her work of art in various places in our home. It has been so special getting to relive our special day through her work. She captured the tender moments and joy of our wedding perfectly! I highly recommend you work with Monica, as it will quickly become one of the best parts of the wedding journey. You will not be disappointed!!
Monica was one of the best people to work with! Not only are her photos fabulous, but she was also so helpful and supportive and positive throughout the rescheduling process. She w...
alked us through our wedding timeline, had great advice for the day of the wedding, and even kept an eye on how our actual wedding was flowing. These photos are something we will cherish forever and she made our wedding feel truly special. We were so thankful to have her and honestly cannot recommend her enough!

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience. She made what could have been a stressful day full of pictures so easy! We had no idea what we were doing on our own and s...
he came up with the best ideas. She is so personable, which made us completely comfortable posing. She’s punctual and the turn around time of getting our pictures back has been so fast. Seriously, she’s the best. I highly recommend.
I was very happy with the results of our photos and the service that Monica provided. She was easy to work with and went out of her way to make sure we were pleased with everything...
she did. The quality of the photos speak for themselves.
Monica was such a pleasure to work with! I heard about her from another couple that she worked with and after seeing her photos, I immediately knew that I wanted to book her for my...
wedding. She is so easy to work with, professional, very experienced, funny, friendly and was always in communication with me leading up to my wedding. Monica also photographed my engagement and bridal photos, all of which turned out amazing! She is also very quick with getting photos back to you!
On our wedding day, Monica had an organized timeline and list of poses that we wanted and she made sure all of them were captured! Monica was on top of everything and worked well with all my other vendors. We LOVED our wedding gallery!
When anyone I know is looking for a photographer, I always highly recommend her! If you have an opportunity to book her, don't think twice and do it. You will not be disappointed and will have beautiful photos to look back on for years to come.
From the moment my husband and I met Monica we instantly fell I love with her vision, work and personality. I was always told to find a photographer you’re comfortable with because...
when your comfortable you can be your true self. For our engagement pictures it was a gloomy, foggy morning however by looking at our pictures you wouldn’t even know there was fog. They were spectacular!! My bridal pics has gusts of what it felt like 20 mph winds and my photos were stunning!!! For our wedding day Monica capture the most member moments of our life. She even hiked up hills to get the perfect shot. I will forever be a life time customer and 100% recommend her to my friends, family and anyone who asks me for my recommendation!
Oh my goodness where to begin!?!? Every part of our experience with Monica was fantastic! Communication, planning, ideas, comfort level while shooting, receiving our photos back ...
insanely fast - no doubt in our minds at all. Would hire her over and over and over again! Thank you Monica!! <3 <3
Monica was an absolute gem and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I was really nervous about being in front of a camera and felt like it would have come across really ...
awkward, but Monica's bubbly personality and encouraging directions helped me feel confident throughout! Seriously the best experience ever - it's like having your best friend with you on your big day!
Monica is absolutely the best photographer! My husband and I are so happy that we chose her to capture this season of our life. From our engagement photos, to my bridal portraits, ...
to our wedding - her pictures are something we will forever cherish. What sets Monica apart from others is her fun, positive, and calming personality. She has an ability to make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. You can definitely tell that photography is her passion, not just her job. She truly goes above and beyond, and she cares about her couples. Monica was the one vendor at our wedding that i never had to worry about. She showed up early, and captured more images than i even thought possible. I am so grateful for her and I cannot thank her enough!
Monica is hands down the best photographer you can have. I don’t even know where to begin!
Not only does she have the best personality to get you in the perfect mindset to be photo...
graphed, but she’s extremely thorough and professional through the entire session. I was able to completely put my trust in her to give us great photographs and she delivered nothing less than the best.
I had two sessions with her prior to our wedding and already loved her then, but when the wedding came around, I was even more impressed.
She was able to direct and lead our crazy group and had all of her ducks in a row (us being the figurative ducks lol we were all over the place). Even though it’s not in her job description, she stepped up and took charge over the wedding timeline when it was obvious that we needed direction. I seriously couldn’t imagine how our special day would’ve gone if we had chosen anyone other than Monica to be our photographer.
She delivered more than I ever expected, and I’m so happy we had the pleasure of her working her artistic magic on our special day.
We won’t let anyone else photograph us from now on!! She is definitely the top choice!!!
Such an amazing & fun photographer! Highly recommend! My husband and I are very shy in front of the camera, but she made it so easy for us to just act natural during all of the sho...

Monica was super professional. First she worked with my daughter the bride and her fiancé for gorgeous engagement photos. I made a book just from them alone and it was used as a g...
uest sign in. Second, the wedding was organized well in advance with her sending a list of family that we wanted to get. All were done in record time all before the wedding. Then the big event, she worked well with her assistant and they got two enormous photos of family and she made sure every face showed! Then capturing so many fun candid moments. She is tops in my book. My daughter and son-in-law loved working with her as well. She knows San Antonio well and knew just where get the best shots!

have to cherish forever. Meeting her at the engagement session, my fiancé and I knew right away we picked the right photographer! Monica made us feel so comfortable and we ended up having an absolute blast! By the end of our session we not only had awesome photographer, but a new friend. At my bridal session, Monica went above and beyond her call of duty. Having to bring my 11 month old twin daughters along, I was a little worried, but Monica was the biggest help! She was able to get breathtaking photos while helping my mother and I with everything we had to lug around plus keeping the girls happy and calm! I can’t thank her enough for that experience. When our big day finally came, seeing Monica arrive promptly as usually, I was soo excited to see her! From the time she arrived to the time she left, she had me laughing and relaxing and soaking in all the moments. Needless to say, our wedding photos turned out better than I could have ever dreamed. Not only does Monica deliver incredible work, she was extremely quick to get photos back after every session , responded right away to my many emails/ texts, took extra time to talk through all the details when I needed and best of all, she became a friend throughout the process. If I ever had a concern, idea, or question, Monica was ready and able to help me sort it out. I can’t wait to work more with Monica in the future and I can’t thank her enough for everything.

She captured the little beautiful moments we were looking for, versus very posed. We received our photos sooner than expected, and I had the toughest time narrowing it down for our save the dates. My only regret is that I am getting married out of state and that she can't also photograph my wedding!

ial moments that I hadn't even thought about! From the moment we met her we knew she was the one we trusted to be there for us through our wedding process. She captured our engagement photos, my bridal shower, my wedding, and even after wedding day photos! She really is there for you and you can feel how she truly cares what makes you happy. From researching perfect spots for my engagement photos because I had a vision of what I wanted to taking after wedding photos 6 months later because she knew we ran short on time the day of to capture some of those bride and groom moments. She's more of a friend now than a photographer. <3

She did a perfect job of capturing our ceremony without being intrusive at all, our portraits are gorgeous, and she didn't miss a moment at the reception. On top of all of that, our photos were edited and ready when we got back from our honeymoon. Monica is ultra professional, yet personable and fun to be around. Loved working with her!
