About this vendor
Hi! I'm Monica, an Atlanta based Wedding photographer who fell in love with capturing the moments that make human relationships so rich. I’m an observer and on the lookout for intimate and artistic images, trying to catch a light flare while “moments” are happening. My style of shooting is for people that want a more “unposed look” because I want to show your love as it is. Of course, we do some posey stuff, but nothing too cheesy! I just capture the real moments and let the pictures tell the story.
When you book with me, I want you to know that you are booking more than just a vendor. You are booking a friend, a partner, and a professional. I look forward to hearing from you!

Let's start this review with a fact: Monica is one of the best decisions you can make for your wedding. The end. Seriously though! Monica did an incredible job taking our engagement and wedding pictures. Her professionalism, eye for moments, heart for the candids and charisma makes for a wonderful experience. I have never felt like a natural in front of the camera, but Monica is a fantastic photographer who makes you feel confident and ensures you're enjoying the moment above everything. Even better: she knows how to handle every audience, from the wedding party to family to guests and fellow vendors.
We were obsessed with the way our photos turned out, from the memories captured to the lighting and beyond. Hire Monica if you're looking for professionalism, high quality results and a new friend at the end of the day. You won't be disappointed, coming from a bride who did her research.
We hired Monica for our engagement and wedding pictures and we highly recommend her! She made us feel comfortable during the entire process and helped keep all the family and wedding party pictures organized day of despite them being very large groups. Our pictures were beautiful as well!
Wow! What a great addition to your wedding vendor list. Monica is so great to work with and makes you feel so comfortable. We had our engagement shoot and wedding with Monica and we could not stop laughing…it was like spending time with your best friend! Her work surpassed our expectations and we are so grateful to have it for the rest of our lives. Please book Monica for your next event!
I truly cannot recommend Monica enough. She is so unbelievably kind and talented. Our wedding photos are everything I could have ever wanted and more. We are so grateful to have found Monica & will definitely be using her again in the future!
There is simply no one that compares to Monica. My biggest fear was that I was going to hate the process of the typical engagement and wedding photos, but Monica showed her incredible skills giving us the most amazing photos. Over the years of preparation of our wedding due to COVID, Monica has always stayed involved and responsive. She truly knows her craft and I honestly never intend on using another photographer until she decides to retire ;)
There aren't enough words to explain how great our experience has been with Monica! She was recommended to me by a friend, and I am so glad she was! Her work is incredible, she is very responsive and professional, and honestly I feel like I have found a new friend in her! She was always there to answer questions and help guide us through some of the wedding planning, and also helped coordinating on the day of! I can't tell you how many people came up to me on my wedding day, and after, complimenting her and saying how wonderful they thought she was! And I couldn't agree more!
She has this incredible way of making you feel comfortable in front of a camera (which is not easy to do considering my husband and I are very awkward in front of cameras). She really knows what to do to give you the perfect shots and she makes it easy and so fun! She also got all of our incredible photos back to us insanely quick and they are absolutely PERFECT!
We will definitely be using Monica as our family photographer for all our future portraits and we highly recommend you use her too!
Monica was absolutely INCREDIBLE. She worked so hard to get every shot we asked for and within our timeline (which was a long list with not a lot of time!). Our pictures are phenomenal and everyone who couldn't attend our wedding said they felt like they were actually there! I can't think of higher praise than that.
Monica was great. She did a great job capturing our wedding. We got the pictures back quicker than we thought. It was very comfortable working with Monica. I love looking back at the pictures and reliving the special day.
Monica is a fantastic photographer. We loved her and so did our guests at our wedding. One of my favorite aspects about Monica is that she knows what to do from start to finish. When friends saw our photos, we got comments such as: "Wow!! I wish our photographer knew 'what to do' with my veil in our pictures". Monica contributed to one of the most important aspects of our wedding and created some of the most precious photographs we will ever have. Thank you. We can't wait to have you photograph us again.
Monica is the best decision for my wedding. Not only does she take pictures like she is the photo ninja. She is 9 places at once. Monica becomes like family when she works with you. She has so much compassion and it comes through with her pictures. She is incredibly responsive and I would recommend her to my clients because I am also an event planner. Monica took one of my bonus kids to have her own photo shoot the day of our wedding because she was having a hard time. If that doesn’t say a lot about her I don’t know what does. I consider her a friend now because she is not only the best person I know but a great friend
Monica was my photographer for my wedding this past July 2019! The pictures turned out so well! I look at them all the time and I feel like I’m just reliving one of the best days of my life! She also took our engagement photos and our Christmas card photos! I knew from the moment that I met her that she would mesh so well with my whole family and now it feels like she is part of the family! I look forward to the day that I get to have pregnancy photos done, baby photos, etc! She is just the best to work with and she always keeps us laughing! I wouldn’t want anyone else helping to document such important milestones in my life!
Monica was truly the best to work with. From the beginning she really wanted to get to know Andrew and I and learn what was important to us on our wedding day and from day one we could sense her passion for photography. My husband and I are not big on having our picture taken and Monica made it fun and so easy. She listened to everything I requested and delivered it all. I received several comments from my family and bridal party that they really enjoyed Monica and thought she did a great job - one of my wedding guests even booked her 2020 wedding with her! We got our pictures back in less time than the window she had given and we LOVE them. Thank you, Monica, for capturing our special day.
If you’re wanting beautiful wedding photos, look no further!!! Monica is such a wonderful and highly talented photographer. From the first meeting to the day of the wedding, Monica put my husband and I at ease and explained the entire process. Monica takes the time to get to known her clients which made our decision to choose her for our special day a piece of cake. Monica was very professional and had a unique talent for making even the not so photogenic individuals (my husband and I) look amazing on our wedding day. We unfortunately had a tropical storm roll through on our wedding day, but Monica was able to capture gorgeous photographs. My friends, family and co-workers have been raving about how stunning our photographs look and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Words can’t express how thankful I am that we chose Monica and her team for our photography! You will not be disappointed.
Monica was highly organized, she was easy to work with, she kept us on schedule, and she took wonderful photos. We will certainly recommend her to our friends!
Monica is just amazing all around! She did my boudoir session, engagement session, and wedding. Each time we got our pictures back SO FAST, and they were just amazing! She captured my husband and me so well, even though we were kind of awkward and nervous in front of the camera. She helped us relax and got truly great shots. Beyond her work, Monica is the best kind of person. She genuinely cares for her clients. This helps so much when you're trusting someone to capture your big day. Honestly, Monica was my go-to person to keep everyone on schedule and answer all my random questions on my wedding day. She even made sure our caterer set aside dessert for my husband and me at our wedding when our guests were descending upon the dessert table! I cannot recommend Monica enough! Book her now, you won't regret it!
Amazing photographer. Helps you prepare ahead of time a list of pictures you want to capture. Pictures come back beautiful and very quick. Every time I look at the pictures I am blown away with her talent. Every picture reminds me of every detail at my wedding.
On a side note on of my bridesmaid was married a month before me. After my wedding the bridesmaid said I wish I would have used Monica over my photographer.
I absolutely loved working with Monica for our wedding photos. Monica was very professional and very responsive. I loved how she was able to capture both very intimate moments as well as the action during our reception. Though Monica and I didn't actually meet face-to-face until my wedding day, I felt like I already knew her and that she truly understood what we were looking for during our wedding and reception. Since we got married after daylight savings time, we wanted to make sure we were able to have pictures at our venue while it was still daylight, so we ended up doing a first look. My husband and I both had pre-wedding nerves, but Monica was so lovely that she was able to calm our nerves and help deliver amazing "first look" photos!! I would highly recommend her for your big day (or any other special moment that you want to document!)
Monica was amazing! She was there for every moment, and captured everything so beautifully. I'd recommend her a 100x over. I can't stop looking at our pictures!
Monica is super talented and went beyond our expectations with the wedding pictures !!! We were so happy when we saw the final cut !! Not only is she a great photographer but she is very helpful !! She helped with my shoes and dress .. anonymous bridesmaid :)
She is super fun to work with and very professional !! She makes you comfortable and honestly makes the pictures look every penny worth !!!
Where can I begin? From the moment I met Monica for our engagement photo consultation, I admired her professionalism, humorous and personable character. Equally important, we fell in love with her work! I had to have her fly out to Washington, DC to capture our wedding as well! I feel as though we truly connected throughout the year and it is as though a close friend has been the one making us laugh and taking these pictures. She captures the most genuine and beautiful pictures that truly make us relive that moment again and again. That is something that is so priceless. I would definitely be making her my lifelong photographer!
I don't even know where to begin about Monica. First off every photographer should be like her. I like many of you just went looking for a photographer in my area and her name popped up. It was a risk but it was so worth it. From the minute I set up phone calls with her it was like we were best friends talking about my wedding. She made it so easy to work with her and she was so flexible. Second, the pictures she took were literally breathtaking! Third, I found my forever photographer. I am not using anyone else ever again because I don't know anyone that could take pictures as well as her. Last, the pictures she takes are so real. The editing is so real. I have nothing bad at all to say about Monica. She was even so perfect on the wedding day making me feel so relaxed.
Thank you Monica!!!!!
Monica is the absolute BEST! I had her shoot my engagement photos which were absolutely flawless. Not only were they gorgeous, my now-husband and I had a blast. Monica was very patient with letting me warm up in the car, since it was 30 degrees and I was in a dress, and made us feel very comfortable.
I loved her so much, I booked her for my wedding. WOW! Ive never seen anyone take command and get all the photos I wanted taken. The wedding was a whirlwind of perfection, and I cant wait to see the results. Monica has given me a couple sneak peaks and from what Ive seen they're gorgeous! They look effortless, fun, romantic.
On top of wonderful results, Monica is the sweetest, very hardworking, extremely responsive, always early! and has become a great friend. I would 100% recommend her every time.
Monica has taken several of our family pictures over the past couple of years and we love working with her. She has always been great about picking locations, getting the kids excited, and the pictures always turn out to absolutely amazing. So of course it was natural for us to hire Monica for our engagement photos in NYC and wedding in the Dominican. Not once were we disappointed. She has basically become part of our family at this point.
If you are looking for a photographer, I highly recommend Monica. Not only Ian she highly gifted, but she brings a lot of value to the table. I’ve paid a lot more for photographers in the past that never delivered what Monica has been able to (which is exactly why we use her again and again). Thank you so much Monica!
My Fiance and I really wanted engagements photos for a long time so when it came time to take our engagement pictures we were so excited! My fiance choose Monica because he was familiar with her wonderful work and we were not disappointed. Monica was professional and choose a beautiful location in Atlanta. She also guided us on what we were to wear which was really helpful in the process of planning for the shoot. Monica also made the shoot fun through her charming personality which kept the process enjoyable. She gave us our pictures in a timely manner and I literally jumped for joy when she sent us the email with our beautiful pictures. Working with Monica was fantastic from start to finish and would definitely recommend to anyone in the Atlanta and surrounding area.
We had the best experience working with Monica for our engagement shoot. She was so patient with us and just a pleasure to be around. We fell in love with Monica and our photos so much that we booked her to do our wedding as well. I've been recommending her to pretty much everyone I know ever since. She is the best!
You won’t regret hiring Monica as your photographer. She is unbelievable! Not only is her work stunning, so is her personality! Monica was able to direct everyone assertively yet politely to get all the pictures we needed/wanted for our wedding. She really feels like a part of your own family; like you’ve know her for years. Monica is worth every penny and then some for the beautiful pictures she captures. My husband and I are so thankful that we hired Monica for our special day.
Monica far exceeded my expectations for my engagement photos and my wedding photos. She didn't miss a moment of our special day. The photos turned out fantastic! Monica has a natural talent for taking beautiful pictures. She makes you feel so comfortable on your big day. Don't hesitate book now with Monica.
If you want beautiful and effortless wedding photos, use Monica as your photographer! After browsing through nearly every photographer in the Atlanta area, I came across Monica who is extremely well priced for her outstanding quality of work! Monica met with me over coffee so we could get to know each other a little before the wedding, helping us both to be on the same page for the vision of my big day. She even came to my venue to take test shots before the wedding, which helped me find the perfect spot for our ceremony! This is just one of many small ways she went above and beyond what is expected. She is so friendly and personable, and her passion for what she does shines through her work. My husband hates having his photo taken, and he even said he loved working with Monica! She puts you at ease and works QUICKLY... so perfect for your big day! She took so many amazing pictures of my husband and I in just 20 minutes after our ceremony, leaving us plenty of time to enjoy our reception and mingle with our guests! Make sure to prioritize a great photographer like Monica for your wedding, so you can look back on beautiful memories of your wedding! I am so grateful I did!
The easiest decision we made was when my fiancé recommended Monica to take our engagement photos.
Her passion, enthusiasm and absolutely stunning photos made the decision a simple one. Knowing that we had Monica taking so much care documenting our special day in the amazing way that she does really took the pressure off.
With her wealth of knowledge, incredible eye for detail and friendly and approachable disposition we had rave reviews from our friends and families when we got our pictures back. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was done with a smile.
Honestly, we can't recommend Monica highly enough; going above and beyond, she is the woman you NEED behind the lens.
Monica was there to capture my engagement. It was obviously a magical moment for me and she ensured that I will forever be able to re-live it. I cannot put into words how unbelievable she is at photography. She captured every angle and moment that I could have ever wanted as if she knew exactly what I wanted. Hire Monica for EVERY moment worth capturing!
Working with Monica was almost too easy. From the moment we met, I knew she was my photographer. Not only is she personable, but you can tell she knows what she is doing. Additionally, she was amazing with communication which was very refreshing compared to my other vendors. The day of, she went above and beyond! Everyone loved her. She even helped us with posing. I told her we were super awkward and had no idea what we were doing lol. Well, the pictures looked otherwise. In fact, I can’t stop looking at them! Thank you so much Monica! If you are looking for a photographer, look no further. I will definitely be using Monica again!
Monica is nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, she’s tenacious and extremely helpful. She arrives early, she always has a game plan, and she gives great direction. After working with her, I received my photos in a little less than two weeks! I’m beyond happy with my results!
I love Monica! She is so talented and listened to what I was looking for in our engagement photos. She is so easy to work with and is so much fun! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
Monica is amazing. I booked her to shoot my wedding in November 2018 and we just did our engagement shoot on Weds. 1/4. She was really good about communication and was right on time for the shoot. We were worried the photos might come out looking awkward, forced, or strange because it was freeeezing that day, but the photos are gorgeous- way better than I expected. And you can't tell that we were shivering & couldn't feel our fingers the whole time. Not to mention she sent me my album of edited photos TWO DAYS after the shoot. I couldn't have asked for more, and I'm so excited to have Monica shoot my wedding later this year!
:I wish we could rate Monica 10 stars!! She is absolutely amazing! We had her do both our engagement and wedding photography and couldn't be happier. She is such a positive and happy person which really helped keep us sane during all of the chaos. Monica really does have an eye for those special "Moments" and the ability to capture the especially heart warming or hilarious parts of our wedding that I would have completely missed out on otherwise. You could see her face light up with a smile every time she got something truly epic and I loved when she would sneak over and show me her latest masterpiece.
We can't thank you enough Monica! Hope to do a puppy session once everything from the wedding calms down! Thanks again!
Finding a photographer for a wedding in 6 months is hard, especially when you want someone that is amazing and genuine. We won the jackpot when Monica said she could do it. From the first email, to the engagement photos, the phone calls, texts, and then the wedding day, Monica was genuine and professional, and although we had just met, it seemed as if she had always been a good friend. She was warm and welcoming to all my family and friends. In fact, they cannot stop talking about her! There was a moment at the wedding when Monica snapped an amazing shot of the fireworks while running backwards and dogging a rouge firework (whoops, still sorry about that). I would recommend anyone wanting photos that actually capture the moment, to use Monica. It was truly a blessing get to know her and have her be a crucial part of our special day.
