Monique is such an amazing, talented photographer. She got such amazing candid shots along with beautiful shots of my husband and I. She’s very professional, kind and has a fast re...
sponse time in case you have a question about something. I showed my family the sneak peeks and they were all in love and said “those are the best wedding pictures I have seen.” Thank you Monique for everything 🤗
I cannot begin to express my gratitude and how thankful we are to have found Monique and have her document the happiest day of our lives. From the moment we met at our engagement s...
ession to our big day, we knew we've made the right choice. Monique is truly a professional in every way possible, even amidst the chaos that is our families (especially during the family photos portion of the day!) And we are IN LOVE with all the photos that she was able to capture on such a chaotic day! I don't know even know how she did it. I highly recommend Monique Dao Photography to all future couples!
We cannot thank Monique enough for being able to capture our engagement and wedding in the enchanting way that only she can. I knew when I first came across Monique's profile and s...
aw her pictures that I HAD to have her for our special day. I booked her the same day a year before my wedding! Even with that initial confidence in her talent, we have all still been blown away by the amazing pictures she has delivered. Monique is so fun to work with and my husband and I were very comfortable to be our loving and silly selves. I can honestly say that we have found a photographer for life. I cannot wait for the next special occasion for her to capture.
I was overwhelmed by the amount of wedding photographers when searching for THE one to document our big day. But when I came across Monique Dao Photography website, I knew she was ...
the one. I instantly loved her naturally soft, romantic, and elegant style in her photos as well as the way she made her couples look. When we met for our engagement session (which was included in the collection for free) she made us feel comfortable enough to relax for more candid photos rather than posed. She asked questions to get to know us and we just connected well. I knew I've made the right choice.
She was a total sweetheart, and a professional on our wedding day. She ran around helping with the little things that were overlooked, paid attention to the smallest details when taking our portraits, and we were blown away by the photos we got back. We are thankful we've found Monique because I can't think of anyone more perfect to document such an important day.
We hired Monique for our wedding in June 2018 and are ecstatic with our photos. Monique took the time to get to know us during the engagement photo shoot which meant we were comfor...
table that she knew what we were looking for in our wedding photos. She never let anything get between her and the perfect shot, not even security trying to move us because they were closing the park. She had a few more ideas for the perfect photo and made sure she got it before we were moved on. We absolutely love our wedding photos and would highly recommend Monique Dao to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
My husband and I hired Monique to be my photographer for my wedding in Sept. I couldn't have ask for anyone better. During our engagement session, (comes with the wedding package)...
, she helped my husband and I create the most beautiful and dreamy photos. She directed us to do various poses that felt awkward, but translated beautifully in photos. She was able to give us a quick 1 week turn around for our engagement shoot!
Monique is super professional and fun. During our wedding, I was overwhelmed by all the photos I had to take, but Monique was able to keep her cool and work quickly with all my guest's requested photos. Again on the wedding day, she directed various poses for us and worked with the scenery/venue she was given.
The initial reason I picked Monique to be my photographer after coming across her Instagram. I fell in love with her classy timeless photo style and love that she incorporates nature into her photos.
I'd highly recommend anyone looking for an easy going, fun, professional, nature loving photographer to go with Monique for weddings, engagements and family photos!
Monique is awesome! She is so talented! She’s all about capturing in the moment pictures, which i think are the best! From taking our engagement pictures to our wedding pictures, i...
couldn’t be more happier! I’m a super picky type of girl but Monique def has a gift! She comes to get the job done and does exactly that! She is punctual and for the most part, works with what the client envisions, unless she has other recommendations that may work better. She had our sneak peak within 24 hours which is extremely quick, not too mention the photos are stunning. If you are a bride and groom looking for an overall all around excellent photographer check out MoniqueDao.com
She is sure to capture your most meaningful moments in the most beautiful way!
I'm so glad I've found Monique Dao Photography for our wedding back in August. We loved her soft and romantic photography style prior to booking her, and she delivered everything, ...
even earlier than promised! She knew all the candid "poses" during our photo session, made us feel completely comfortable, and was the most helpful in fluffing my dress, fixing my husband's boutonniere, making sure my hair was not out of place (it was such a windy day!), getting our good side, etc. She is an overall sweet person and easygoing to work with. I highly recommend her to any couple!
