We had worked with Monika before and immediately knew we wanted her to be the one to capture our big day. She was so much more than a photographer. After a dress malfunction in the morning set us behind, she was not only our photographer but she also put on the hat of planner/being the one to keep us on schedule. With all of that on her plate she still produced amazing photos that we are going to cherish for the rest of our lives. She truly captured the joy and the love we felt that day. We will absolutely continue to use her for our big photo milestones throughout our lives.
If I can recommend one thing for your wedding, it’s to book Monika. I was SO picky when vetting photographers and I couldn’t have made a better selection for our day.
She’s SO professional - I am a control freak and working with Monika truly let me relax and enjoy my day. She got every shot I wanted & most importantly basically created my day of timeline & kept us on track the entire day.
She’s SO FUN - this was very important to me because my husband is not a photo guy & he genuinely enjoyed every second we spent taking photos with Monika.
I never felt like we were taking photos on our wedding day. I felt like we were just running around the city having a blast with her. You will NOT regret booking Monika for the biggest day of your life. She is truly the best.
I recently hired Monphotography as the photographer for my wedding and I am beyond thrilled with the results. From the initial consultation to the delivery of the images, Monika was professional, friendly, and incredibly talented. My dream photographer!
Monika has a such keen eye for capturing candid moments and emotions, which truly brought our wedding day to life in the photos. The images were beautifully composed, edited flawlessly, and truly reflected the love and joy we felt on our special day.
Not only was Monphotograhy a pleasure to work with, but she also went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and ensure that every detail was captured perfectly. She was prompt, organized, and made the entire photography process smooth and stress-free.
I would highly recommend Monphotography to anyone in need of a talented and reliable wedding photographer. The memories they helped us capture will be cherished for a lifetime. Thank you, Monika, from the bottom of our hearts, for capturing our love story so beautifully.
WE LOVE MONIKA SO MUCH! From when we first talked after booking, engagement shoot & day of, she made everything so easy and fun! I personally don’t like being “cheesy” in pictures, and she did everything to make us comfortable and natural! Nothing about it was cheesy! She made us laugh, we were ourselves and honestly feel like we found a friend in Monika because of how comfortable we were with her. On top of that, she sent us teasers THE DAY AFTER the wedding and left us speechless! She’s so talented and has the best eye! I’m normally a planner and have to have everything laid out, but we let Monika take the reins on the day and let her stop the bus whenever she wanted!
Monika photographed our August 2023 wedding at The Oliver Building in Kansas City, and I would totally recommend her!
We first contacted Monika after seeing her work on The Knot. The quality and style of her images stood out in a crowd of wedding photographers. We were looking for a photographer that was able to capture beautiful pictures in a venue that doesn’t provide a lot of natural light. Monika’s vibe aligned exactly with what we were seeking. After meeting with her, it became clear that we had found a great match, both in terms of style and personality. The connection and ease we found with her shows through in the final product. We are generally very awkward and not pros at posing in front of a camera. Monika knew exactly how to make us feel like we were just hanging out with a friend. We received our “sneak peek” just days after the wedding and they are everything we expected and more! Jeremy and I can’t thank you enough!
Monika was AMAZING to work with! We loved both our engagement photos and wedding photos. She has a way of making you feel so confident in front of the camera, even when you think you're the most awkward couple ever! She's so fun to work with because she'll have you do some unique prompts/ poses and you'll think "I'm going to look so awkward in that" and then she'll show you her camera and you're like whatttttt I look amazing!!! She actually made us love getting our pictures taken, which we didn't think would happen! Her editing and style is very natural and candid, exactly what we wanted. 10,000/10 would recommend working wither her!
I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with Monika's incredible work as my wedding photographer! From start to finish, she goes above and beyond to ensure that every moment is captured beautifully and flawlessly. Monika's dedication and passion for her craft truly shone through, making our wedding day even more memorable.
Monika has an unwavering commitment to getting the perfect shot. I was amazed when she laid on the floor of my venue just to capture a unique angle that turned out to be one of my favorite photos. Her creativity and willingness to go the extra mile truly sets her apart.
Beyond her undeniable talent, Monika's energy is infectious. She exudes a genuine joy that lifts everyone's spirits and helps create an atmosphere of pure happiness throughout the day. Her presence alone enhanced the overall experience, and she effortlessly connected with us and our wedding party and guests, making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera.
Monika's professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of her work. She seamlessly blended into the background, ensuring that she captured all the candid moments and emotions while never being intrusive. Her ability to anticipate and capture the essence of each special moment is truly remarkable.
I wholeheartedly recommend Monika as a wedding photographer. She is a true artist who pours her heart and soul into every shot, and it shows. Her exceptional talent, boundless energy, and unwavering commitment to delivering outstanding results makes me so excited to call her in the future for all our milestones. Thank you, Monika, for immortalizing our wedding day in the most extraordinary way!
Cannot recommend Monika enough!! She did both our engagement and wedding photos and to say we’re obsessed is an understatement! Very professional, while keeping it fun and lighthearted at the same time. If you have no idea what type of photos you’re wanting, don’t worry! She knows what’s she’s doing and will capture those perfect shots for you!! Thank you again Monika!!
Monika is the absolute best - plain and simple. Leading up to our wedding, we had done many shoots with her and each one was phenomenal. Monika checks every box you could ask for. Her photos are stunning. Her shoots are effortless. And above all you’ll have a blast! We will always recommend her. Can’t wait for our next shoot!
Monika is the person who will keep the ship running! She worked so hard to get every photo combo that I wanted. She was super quick with the preview and made us all look great. It was so hard to pick photos for my album because I wanted to print them all! She's punctual and digs in as soon as she's on-site. She was great and very affordable!
I would recommend Monika to anyone, without a single doubt or hesitation. She is truly the best! She is talented, creative, professional, and such a good time to be around . Monika is also really intuitive and captured our relationship perfectly. She didn’t force us into a mold that didn’t feel like us; instead, she truly got a feel for who we were as a couple and our photos feel so genuine and authentic because of that. She also found the perfect photo spots for us! As someone who can be pretty awkward in front of the camera (and was honestly kind of dreading being in front of the camera all day) I am still shocked by how easy and comfortable it ended up being thanks to Monika’s skilled directing and easy going attitude. Book her- you won’t regret it!
Working with Monika feels like working with a best friend! She instantly makes everyone feel comfortable and her results are unmatched! I look forward to working with her in other life moments beyond just my wedding.
Book her! You will not regret it. We used her for our wedding and engagement photos and could not have been happier. Her package was an amazing deal, she takes a TON of photos, and doesn't miss anything. We get so many compliments and love so many of the photos that we don't know what to do with all of them.
If you are looking for calm, funny, authentic, and experienced photographer- look no further. Monika was easy to work with, addressed our questions, and put our minds at ease getting all the photos we wanted for our wedding day. She is true artist taking us to secret spots and going with the flow to find the best lighting within Kansas City to take some beautiful shots of us and though she may make you do silly poses- roll with it, the photos turn out so beautiful. Currently we have only received teasers within a few days of our wedding and I am IN LOVE. I have received so many compliments of what brief (but many) photos we've been given and I cannot wait to see the rest! All I can say is- hire her. She is so worth it. :)
Fun, loving, outgoing, very professional! Monika does amazing work and is not scared of hard work. She likes a challenge! I love how she made me feel during a special shoot for my husband to be. She was made me feel very comfortable even though we have known each other for years. She also is pretty quick in getting your photos back to you in a timely manner. If you are looking for a great photographer and great small business to support for any photos you need taken.
Love,
Strother-Zent Family
The absolute BEST! Monika has the best personality and will make your day so much fun! I was sad when she had to leave! She is so talented and captured every moment perfectly! We have gotten so many compliments about how great our pictures turned out! Would DEFINITELY recommend!
Photography was the thing I cared about most when booking vendors, so that we could capture all the memories we created on our wedding day. I can't say enough good things about Monika! We love her artistic eye for photos and how she captures such candid and intimate moments. My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of a camera, but Monika is so kind and down to earth. She made everything fun and easy! We will definitely continue to book Monika for our special life events to come!
We loved getting to work with Monika for our engagement and wedding photos! She made our engagement session so fun and we absolutely loved every photo we got back that we used them for every opportunity that we could. Save the dates, wedding website, photos around the house, we even used one of our favorite pictures she took as inspiration for our cake topper! On our wedding day, Monika really listened and advocated for us to make sure that we got the special pictures that we wanted. Similar with our engagement pictures, we are obsessed with all of our wedding pictures and I just can't stop staring at them and remembering our beautiful day. Thank you Monika for capturing such wonderful times in our lives!
Monika had the exact style I wanted for her photography and she is the nicest person ever! She’s super accommodating on dates for engagement pictures, she is very easy to just send some more Pinterest ideas to, and she was a perfect fit for our wedding! She is so sweet but she knew how to get the job done and make my pain in the butt husband look at the camera and smile instead of being the hardest groom ever to photograph! Monika got us our photos so quickly and I had expectations that it would be awhile as she was SWAMPED with weddings back to back to back. Monika was amazing!
Monika, where do I start?! She’s an amazing, talented, chill and fun person. And that’s just speaking to her personality. Her communication and responses were quick! Even to some of my freak outs about the timeline of the day. Gave us vendor recommendations and has such a quick turn around time for photos. The day of, I put everything in her hands with 100% confidence knowing she would kill it. And she did. She makes you feel so comfortable during the photos. Her eye and passion for the art, you will not find anywhere else. Looking for a photographer that’s easy to work with, affordable, laid back but can control a crazy wedding party? As well as produce some of the best photos I have ever seen?? Monika is your girl.
Monika was amazing! She has a great eye for the best shots- candids and portraits. Monika can do it all :) we think of ourselves as awkward when it comes to serious photos but Monika gives such great direction. We couldn’t be more pleased!
Monika is INCREDIBLE! She has the absolute best approach to photographing your wedding day, makes you feel so comfortable and gets the most intimate, special and candid moments throughout the whole day. She's professional, efficient, so fun and extremely talented. She's great with light and getting the perfect shots. She is the best! Can't recommend her more!!
Monika is the absolute BEST! We had SO much fun with her with engagement pictures and on our big day! I couldn't have imagined a better photographer! Pick Monphotography - you will be so happy you did!!
Monika was everything we could have hoped for in a photographer for our engagement and wedding! She was so fun, didn’t judge when we wanted to throw out the tradition and captured our day in the most amazing way. She is creative, kind and works so hard!! Couldn’t recommend her more
Monika was OUTSTANDING!! She did an amazing job making our wedding party look amazing even on the hottest/most humid day of the year. She told us exactly how to pose/what to do in every photo and that was exactly what we needed. Our wedding party was 22 people so we needed all of the direction from her that we could get. She was so fun to work with, from the planning process, to engagement photos, to our wedding day. She was on time with everything and made sure we got all of the shots that we wanted. We would 10000% recommend her to anyone! We will definitely be contacting her again in the future for any and all photo needs! We were absolutely blown away with Monika!
Monika captured everything we could have asked for on our wedding day! We loved every picture that was taken and it was such a fun photoshoot! We were placed in different poses and Monika never failed to make us laugh the entire time! I would 100% refer her to anyone looking for a great photographer! Also, we had a second shooter which helped ever more to capture EVERY moment of our special day!
Monika was absolutely amazing! She was so easy to work with and made it so much fun. My photos turned out perfect! I cannot say enough good things about her and her work. I highly recommend her!!!
Mon is seriously so incredible. My husband and I honestly got pictures only because it's a thing you're supposed to do when you get engaged and married, but both of us were dreading it. Mon made both of us relax and genuinely have fun with the process. She was so fun, so spunky, and SO relaxed, even when dealing with the craziness that was my family and florist on the wedding day. After both our wedding and engagement shots my husband and I couldn't stop talking about how great she was, how much we loved our pictures, and how Mon is someone we'd like to be friends with. You won't go wrong choosing her.
She made us feel comfortable and allowed us to share our ideas and she made it happen. Thank you so much for our amazing engagement photos we will forever cherish.
Monika is amazing and I recommend her to everyone!! My husband and I had the pleasure of working with her for our engagement pictures and for the wedding. My guy and I are not "photo people" and honestly very awkward in front of the camera but Monika made us feel completely at ease and made picture taking FUN! She is truly an expert and knows how to make a stressful day much better. I am so grateful for her amazing work and will cherish our pictures for a lifetime :)
Monika has been a wonderful photographer for our family for 7+ years! From the most perfect wedding photos and in-home newborn sessions to beautiful family mini sessions, she has been a wonderful person to work with. Looking back, our wedding photos still make me feel like the most beautiful bride on Earth. Monika captured each important moment, everything we would have wanted, even the silly little things like my father-in-law getting down (literally falling) on the dance floor! On top of that, our engagement photos were even featured in EA Bride Magazine! Monika is reliable, punctual, super laid back and easy to work with, reasonably priced, and worth every dang penny. She now photographs many of my friends and family based on our experience. I just can’t recommend her enough!
Monika is amazing. So talented. Her vision is unique to her style and she captures the best in all she photographs.
MonPhotography is hands down the best photographer in Kansas City! She literally makes the experience so easy-going and helps you feel natural while taking the photos. The best part is seeing the pictures she took! I have never seen such beautiful photos in my life! She is a miracle worker!
Superb
Monika is amazing!!! Her work is phenomenal!!! It speaks for itself!
MonPhotography took both our Engagement & Wedding photos and I could not be more obsessed with them. She was a pleasure to work with and made our wedding day so easy for us! She kept everyone organized and kept us on time as we completed pictures throughout the day. I can’t say enough great things about her! She is amazing and we will use her for all of our photography needs in the future!! I highly suggest you do too!
Such talent! Monica prepped where to take pictures and we just showed up. Wonderful to work with and I LOVE my wedding photos!
Monika is truly amazing!!! I was extremely nervous to take photos , because I have never had a professional photo shoot done . My fiancé and I enjoyed Monika as she made us feel extremely comfortable and was super down to earth! We got our Engagement pictures back in 3 days and are OBSESSED!!!! 10/10 would recommend. I’ve already had several people reach out to me on who my photographer was! Thanks, Monika!
I’ve worked with Monica for a long time now, she’s done my high school senior photos, group family photos, engagement shots, and of course had to have her do my wedding too!! I have nothing but praise for this photographer! To touch on some of her qualities: easy to work with, professional, talented, prompt, but more importantly is her artistic style! She is so much fun to work with, she immediately puts you at ease when she’s shooting! She has an eye for posing you in a way that looks beautiful and natural, but she also captures amazing spontaneous memories that aren’t staged throughout your event making her the perfect photographer for beautiful portraits and those organic moments! You want both and she gives you both!! Her style is very refreshing and I keep coming back!! You’ll be so happy you trusted your memories with Monica, I know I am!
Monika has photographed my wedding and all my family photos! She captures every moment and makes them look beautiful! Happy to have her the last 6 years!
Monika made everything feel natural... nothing felt super posed. She wanted us to be goofy or sweet to each other and she just captured the moment. The pictures were more amazing than I had expected... and I already had high expectations! Thanks, MonPhotography and we can’t wait to work with you for the wedding!
Monika is totally amazing! She has been taking my pictures for almost 7 years... she took my high school senior photos, college graduation pictures, and now my engagement pictures. I could not be more excited for her to shoot my wedding and hopefully our growing family in the future! If you want a down-to-earth, hard-working, insanely talented photographer, please book MonPhotography!
Not only was Monika able to work with me on hours and pricing , she is simply the best. She showed up on time and literally kept everyone in line ! Without her I may have been late to my own wedding 😂haha. The photos were right on time and as expected ... simply precious and beautiful moments were captured for all to remember!!! Thank MonPhotography for being fabulous ♥️
Best photographer we have ever had, she was so amazing and took the time to actually get good quality photos of us! We can’t wait to use her again
I can't say enough wonderful things about Monika and MonPhotography! I met with a few other photographers but Monika immediately bonded with my husband and I. We did our engagement pictures with her and had such a fast turnaround to getting photos back. We LOVED our engagement pictures. Nick and I had a few ideas of where we wanted our pictures to be done, however Monika had a few suggestions herself and they were amazing. We had an absolute BLAST doing our engagement session.
Having such a great experience during our engagement photos, Nick and I were very excited to work with Monika again on our wedding day. We opted to have two photographers before the wedding/during the ceremony due to the guys and girls being at separate venues getting ready. Monika brought in a great second photographer, Courtney who did such an incredible job working with the guys in our wedding. Monika arrived to the venue that morning to take several pictures of us getting ready. Again, Nick and I had a few ideas of where we wanted pictures around town, Monika made a few other suggestions that ended up turning out so well!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ALL MY WEDDING PICTURES! I'm having a hard time narrowing down what pictures are my favorites. The turnaround time for the photos was very quick as well, considering how many photos we ended up with.
Monika was extremely professional throughout our entire experience with her. I felt very comfortable just letting her do what she felt was best and the pictures are all wonderful.
I highly recommend choosing MonPhotography for your wedding day. I know I'll be calling her again to do family pics!
Choose Monika for your wedding or you will be sadly disappointed! She's incredibly talented, works with you on everything, patient, kind, fun, I could go on and on. Not to mention I was obsessed with our engagement pictures! I literally can't stop posting them because they are the best. We shot in multiple locations, multiple outfit changes and she brought out the best in my husband to be. Before the end of the shoot, the once reserved man was up for anything. He was getting into it, and it's because Monika knew how to work with him. They are pictures I'll treasure forever. We just had our wedding last week and I can't wait to see the wedding pictures. We had bad weather on the wedding day and she was incredibly patient with our Motley Crue of a wedding party. She made the best of everything. She was concerned with my happiness and my husbands. She's a wonderful, fun person to boot so you can't go wrong. I can't count how many people have asked who did our pictures because they are THAT good!
Monika has been capturing my big moments for 6 years now! From my seniors pictures and fun little shoots with my then boyfriend, to our engagement and wedding photos! She makes everyone feel very comfortable and natural when she photographs and brings a fun energy to the session. She’s a ray of sunshine and I will forever recommend her 🙌🏽
Love! Love! Love Monika & MonPhotography. I really can’t say enough great things about our experience with her and her professionalism on our wedding day. Mother Nature definitely through us a curveball with a torrential downpour, but Monika was fantastic and knew just how to handle it. For our wedding party photos, she worked with us on backup plans for photoshoot locations and somehow we were surprisingly able to still get in many outdoor shots (thanks to her creative thinking & umbrellas). At the reception, she really captured the life and love of the party. So great!
Monika is hands down the BEST photographer. My husband and I took a leap of faith and hired her to come on our destination wedding. We never met her. Before we left for our weddingmoon she called to go over timeline and we talked for about an hour. She got every last detail and even snuck a few photos in of our rehearsal night. She worked her butt off in the scorching hot Mexico sun with a smile on her face the whole time. My husband actually hates getting pictures taken and he still says how fun she was and comfortable she made him feel. We received our pictures within 4 weeks!!! That’s incredible!!!
We also booked her for our daughters cake smash/one year/family photo session a month after our wedding. We live in STL traveled to KC 4 hours because that’s how amazing she is! We got those pictures back in ONE WEEK!! I know she stays very busy too so the fact that we got them back so fast shows how much she loves her career! Oh and her communication is fantastic!!
We had a such a great experience with Monika for our engagement session. She's spontaneous, creative and knows exactly how to put you at ease throughout the shoot. She excels at capturing candid moments and knows some amazing backdrops in Kansas City. Beyond that, her turnaround time was impeccable - less than 2 weeks. We are so excited to work with her again in October for our wedding day!
My husband and I just recently used Monphotography for our wedding and engagement photos and she is hands down the best photographer I have ever worked with. Monika is very professional, artistic and is an absolute joy to work with. We were very comfortable with her throughout the planning stages and during our shoots. She delivered exactly what we wanted on time and above our expectations. We plan on using Monphotography for our next milestones :)
Our wedding day ended up being frigid and was moved inside last minute, but she worked with us and made it happen! Our photos are gorgeous. She thought of everything - from bringing a step stool because my groom is tall to taking the perfect detail shots. Thank you so much, Monika!
Monika Herbert, the owner of Monphotography is phenomenal! I would highly recommend this photographer not just in Kansas City, but globally. Her attention to detail is impeccable, whether it be a mini-session, wedding, or newborn shoot. Her work is second to none, and the editing skills she has is magical. But all those previously stated positives aside, the owner is friendly and allows you to feel relaxed. (Which can be difficult with a camera in your face) Also, she's reliable and professional and those qualities are hard to find period. You won't be disappointed when selecting Monphotography (Monika Herbert) as your photographer, I definitely have not been. Thanks Monika!
Monika did an amazing job in our engagement and wedding photos. I would recommend her to anyone I know
We were very happy with her as our photographer. She knows how to get the important pictures without ever being in the way. She did an excellent job on the photo book she put together and everyone has been impressed with it.
Monika is amazing!!! We hired her for our engagement session and our wedding and it was nothing short of amazing. From the experience and professionalism to the fun and outgoing side, she made sure that our day was special. I greatly appreciated that she took charge with such a large wedding (500 people) and we did not have to worry about a thing. I would highly recommend her for your special occasion!!
Also, our wedding was less than 3 weeks ago and I already have our pictures! Monphotography is the best!
Mon was so wonderful to have for our big day! Not only did the photos turn out beautifully, but the experience she provided throughout the day was exceptional. She made sure we were always running on time- even our huge family photos she managed to get accomplished so quick! She made the whole experience comfortable and fun, we have such amazing memories from that day and she captured all of them perfectly!
MonPhotography was amazing when she did our wedding and a special session with my wife. She was both professional and generous to work with. Within a week she had a sneak-peek of our photos and then the rest came not to long after the event. We were very happy in how she worked with us the day of, captured every moment, and took the time to get to know us as a couple.
I would highly recommend her to any of my friends and family!
Monika is the best! She is so easy to work with. She takes the time to get to know her couples and understand what type of "feel" they are going for in their photos. We utilized her for both our engagement and wedding photos and we are so happy we did. Highly recommend!!
Monika ROCKS! Highly recommend hiring her as your photographer! She did my engagement and wedding photos (AUG 2018) and must I say SHE KILLED IT! She is extremely talented and knows what she is doing!
My husband and I did not have any experience getting professional photos done and she helped/guided us through the entire photo shoot. Monika is so down to earth and extremely easy to work with. We had a few hiccups the day of with our party bus and Monika handled it perfectly- reminding us of the importance of our day, problem solved in getting the rest of the photos and kept the wedding party stay calm.
You spend so much time and effort planning your big day and at the end of it you have a marriage, memories and PHOTOS! It is important to get a fantastic photographer that will go above and beyond for you! Monika was that person for us!
The photos turned out absolutely stunning. I'm SO pleased with her work and think she was worth EVERY penny!
Monika is an absolute dream!! She was so patient with me, meeting and answering all my texts with questions I had or things I was concerned about, before the wedding. On wedding day, she worked her butt off traveling to several different locations with us and getting all the shots we asked for. We received all of our pictures back within 3 weeks and were in love. I would recommend Monika to anyone!
Monika is THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! She is efficient, easy to work with, helpful, quirky, reasonable in price, and extremely talented! She does anything and everything to get all the photos you want (like climbing on others shoulders to get a group shot with the KC skyline)! We had 300 photos after ONE week after our wedding, and then all the rest the next week, and we couldn’t be more in love with how every single one turned out! You can’t go wrong with this girl in every capacity!
We have been obsessed with our wedding photos! Monika did our engagement and wedding photos and they were absolutely beautiful. She has also done baby photos for my family and they turned out just precious! Monika works her booty off and does an amazing job! I would definitely go with her again with any future photography!
I am so so happy that we found Monika!!! She was so professional, kind and put us at ease. She was able to be our photographer for both our wedding ceremony and reception. She is so easy to work with and really made me feel comfortable....even though I hate taking pictures. She was open to my ideas and suggestions, but had so many creative ideas for us! The photos turned out beautiful!! Thanks Monika!
From our first coffee meeting, to our engagement photo session, wedding day, and all communication in between, Monika was absolutely a m a z i n g ! Super easy to communicate with. Very professional, calm, cool, and collected. Her unique style really captured our engagement photos and the entire wedding day in such a beautiful way. Very natural, nothing forced. She also had all our wedding photos back to us in less than two weeks after the wedding! I was so surprised!
The second photographer Monika brought in for our wedding was Dustin Duewel. He was awesome as well!! Very easy to work with on the day of the wedding! Loved the different angles he was able to capture throughout the day! Thank you, Dustin!!
I recommend Monika, 100%! We are so thankful and hope to work with her again in the future!
Monika was fantastic through and through. I had a great time getting to talk to her and discuss what we wanted out of the pictures. Her quality and style is just amazing and I could not be any happier. I don't think I'll ever find another photographer. She's fantastic with children too. My three year old just loved her. Every time I go through the photos she took for our wedding I get happier and happier!
Monika did more than a fantastic job with our engagement and wedding photos. She was very organized and prepared for anything (it poured on our wedding day)! The pictures were beautiful!!! She has made me cry multiple times, and that’s a good thing. You are one talented lady!! I recommend her to anyone!!
Monika is amazing!!!! She took our engagement photos and captured us beautifully! This is not an easy task as my now husband is 6'9" and I am 5'3"... not to mention, Monika is shorter than me! Somehow, though, she managed to capture our chemistry and just about every photo she sent us was beautiful! She's very professional and fun at the same time. She'll tell you if something isn't working, be it the pose, the lighting, etc. We loved our engagement pictures so much that we ended up flying her out to California with us so that she could capture our dream wedding! We cannot wait to get the photos back! Her and Jason (our videographer of Anchored Media) are simply wonderful to work with and a lot of fun! If you are looking for pictures that truly capture the special spark between you and your loved ones, Monika is your gal!
I don't even know where to start when it comes to how much I love Monika and monphotography!! I first met Monika after asking on Facebook for reccomendations for a photog for engagement pics. I had a ton of names, and I just new Monika was the one when I saw her style on her web page. She had the most amazing ideas and long story short- our photos looked like they belonged in a magazine. We were amazed.
Imagine how pleasently surprised we were when she told us she photographed destination weddings!! We had just booked our wedding in Cabo, but didn't want to be stuck with the crappy and extremely expensive resort photographer, so we booked Mon to come with us! (It was actually more cost effective for us to bring Monika with us than to pay for only 4 hours of the crappy resort photographer, and she photographed ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT long.)
We had a meeting a few weeks before the wedding where Monika asked about special photos I wanted, who to include in family formals, and names. She did an AMAZING job organizing our large family that likes to talk a whole lot more than they like to listen. She also did amazing with all the littles that we had in our wedding. In addition to photography, Monika helped me a lot with wedding day logistics to which I was completely oblivious, which was far beyond her requirements as a photographer.
By the end of her time in Mexico with us, I think all of our guests were just as in love with her as we are. She took beautiful photos of many of the couples that attended our wedding, aside from just the wedding party. I know they appreciated the keepsakes. She also offered to do small individual family sessions on the beach the day before the wedding for all the guests. Lastly, she photographed our rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner night without us even asking.
I have to toot Monika's horn one last time, about something that I think is a huge deal surrounding a wedding- turnaround time on getting photos back! Holy crap... we had the link to every single one of our beautifully finished photos before we got home from our honeymoon. Less than a week!! My sister got married last year and waited over a month. I was so surprised and happy when she gave us a few sneak peaks just two days after the wedding. Now we can use a wedding photo of our choice for our thank you cards, and still send them out in a timely manner.
To say we were happy with the services that Monika provided would be an understatement. My new husband already mentioned that he hopes she can do our family photos one day, and I feel the same way. Monika will be our choice for any type of our photography needs as long as she's in the business.
I recommend her without hesitation for any type of boudoir, engagement, wedding or other photos you may need. I know you'll be happy with your choice!

Monika was awesome! She knew her stuff and created a fantastic photo album for our wedding pictures! Not one moment was missed. She was personable and made us feel right at home from the start. She was professional but friendly..and awesome at working with children. Worth every penny!
After seeing Monika's pictures from a couple friends at work, I knew she would be the perfect person for our wedding. She was the only photographer we met with and my husband and we were sold immediately. She goes above and beyond to get amazing pictures and provides excellent service. Our engagement and wedding photos are nothing short of incredible and we'll cherish them forever!! Not to mention, we got our wedding pictures back in less than a week - every girl's dream! You are in great hands with Monika and will not be disappointed. We'll definitely have her shoot our babies one of these days!
Monika is an outstanding photographer!! Our wedding photos are amazing. It rained the entire day and she was still able to capture photos outside and you would have never known that it was raining. She is also great at getting your photos back very quick!! Great personality and very personable. You won't go wrong with her!!
I knew I wanted Monika to do our engagement photos and wedding based off the work she does for everyone else. She proved that with our wedding. She captured every part of our day and we couldn't be happier with the photos we got. I would recommend Monika to anyone. She is one of the best!
We will never use anyone else for our photography needs. She is priceless.
Hands down the best photographer in the Kansas City area. Monika is AMAZING to work with and her photos are more than we could have ever asked for. We are beyond happy about the way our engagement session turned out and can't wait for our wedding! She captured every beautiful moment of our session. HIGHLY recommend Monika!
Look no further and book with Monika ASAP!! There are just not enough positive words to describe Monika and her work! My husband and I have done several shoots with her and she goes above and beyond expectations to make sure all the details and emotions are captured! Not only are her pictures truly fabulous but she gets them back to you so quickly! We also had our giant Great Dane join us for one session, we were a little worried he would be a handful however it was no sweat to her she works great with animals too! We highly recommend her and truly look forward to continue working with her in the future!
Monika was my favorite vendor by far. She did my sister-in-laws wedding and was recommended to me. I fell in love with her work instantly. She is not only an amazing photographer, but she is so full of spunk and friendliness that she brings so much joy to the day as a whole! I have only gotten my teasers so far and I am so so so so excited to see the rest. Me and my husband are excited to be lifelong clients of hers!
Our engagement session with Monika was so fun! I typically do not enjoy having my picture taken but Monika knew how to make the whole experience so enjoyable. She really took her time with us and I felt like she genuinely cared. The pictures are amazing and we would highly recommend her!!
The first word that comes to mind when thinking about Monika and Monphotography in general, is WOW! She made my fiancé and I feel like celebrities when she posted out engagement photos. We had many people tell us they were their "favorite engagement photos ever." She had unique ideas, asked questions to figure out what we wanted, and made suggestions when we didn't know! Our photos were beautiful and different then any I've ever seen. We love her so much we're taking her to Mexico with us to shoot our destination wedding! Monphotography for the win!!!
Monika did our engagement and wedding pictures and we couldn't be happier! I love her freestyle shooting, not having a strict, rigid plan made things way less stressful and the pictures couldn't have been more beautiful! She's very patient and fun to work with and makes sure you get all the shots you want. We also loved that she was willing to work with animals, we have 4 dogs we wanted included in our engagement pictures, and she did an amazing job with them as well! Very highly recommended!!
In my short 2 weeks of planning an elopement ceremony, I felt so lucky Monika was able to shoot on my special day. Looking at her work for other brides, I felt she would be perfect in capturing such a special moment in my life. Perfect she was! Her ideas were hands down awesome! She's so easy to work with and seeing our pictures left me speechless!
Just love Monica! Best person not only for our family photos but our wedding! She is a keeper with us!! You will not regret having her as apart of any special day!
