Monica is a Gem!

We’re so glad that Moni was our wedding photographer! We recently received our wedding photos and they are a DREAM. From our engagement shoot to the wedding day, she was professional throughout the process. She was always responded in a timely manner, scheduled all the check-ins in advance, helped us with our wedding timeline, and hyped us up as we were taking photos.

We talked with a handful of photographers but none of them quite checked all the boxes for us. After our first call with Moni, we knew we finally found our photographer! Moni makes you feel at ease when she is photographing you and she goes the extra mile to get the perfect shot! She knew that we wanted golden hour photos, during our cocktail hour she noticed the sun was going down earlier than expected and rearranged our timeline a bit so we can catch the remainder of the golden light.

Highly recommend Moni, she was one of the best decisions for our wedding. Thank you for everything, Moni! We can’t wait to work with you for other life milestones.

We really enjoyed our experience with Monica!!

After browsing through photographers throughout the Bay Area, my partner and I decided to go with Monica and we were just amazed at how easy she was to work with. Neither my partner or I felt comfortable taking photos in general but she eased us into the process. Not only was Monica very accommodating to our schedules but as we got closer to the big day, she was willing to meet with us a few more times to make sure everything was in order.

On the wedding day, Monica was right on time and made sure that both sides were taken care of throughout all the chaos and the sessions never felt like a chore. Even when my partner and I made some major last minute decisions, Monica continued to accommodate our needs.

We absolutely LOVED how our pictures turned out as it gave us the natural, "dream-like" shots that included some precise details we didn't quite see in other wedding photos we've seen. I would highly recommend Monica for her flexibility, professionalism throughout the process, creativity in picking locations, and simple but natural shots that can make a huge difference in your photos. Also brownie points for the timeliness of the first look and full albums that come in easy-to-use links!

Monica is the photographer you want for this important milestone

Wow - wow - WOOOW!!! Monica did our engagement shots and we could not be happier with both the process and the results.

To be clear... my fiance and I are both very awkward people in front of cameras. This stuff does not come naturally to us. But the two hours we spent with Monica felt like 15 minutes. She made us feel so comfortable to be ourselves, to be silly, and to feel like we were the only ones there.

And it definitely showed in the RESULTS. For one, she delivered our 'sneak peak' in 24 hours... I didn't expect them to come so fast and despite how fast it was, the quality was 100% there. Now that I have the full album, I still can't stop scrolling through them and sharing with friends and family.

Separately - We also had our 8-month-old ENERGETIC AND NEEDY puppy with us and I'm in complete shock at how well Monica was able to capture the very few moments that she was cooperating. So much so that our pup looks like an angel -- you would've never been able to tell that those moments of calm were few and far between.

Honestly, I'm most touched by how much Monica cared about every step of the process... from making sure we went to a location that achieved our 'vision', to accommodating our very crazy puppy, to throwing in a few extra shots to try out a pose that we completely failed at during our actual engagement.

Thank you Monica for being there to capture such an important milestone in our lives.
