FAQ
Do I have to be photogenic or good at posing?
Absolutely not……and honestly, that's not what I'm here for. I'm a documentary-style photographer, with editorial flare, which means I'm capturing you as you actually are: laughing too hard, fixing each other's hair, crying during vows. The couples who look best in my work are the ones who forget I'm there. I'll give you gentle direction when we need it, but my job is to find the real moments, not manufacture them. My special talent is finding your best attributes.
Do you travel for destination weddings?
Absolutely and I'm always ready to pack my bags. Monphotography has photographed weddings in Italy, Germany, Austria, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Florida, California, New York, Massachusetts, Chicago... and the list is still growing. Coastal ceremonies with crashing waves, big city rooftops, European cobblestone streets — yes to all of it.
Every travel collection is customized to your destination and needs, so the process stays seamless no matter where in the world you're saying "I do." If you've got a passport stamp in mind, let's make it happen.
How do we know if we're a good fit?
If you want real over perfect, emotional over posed looking at camera and a photographer who genuinely cares about your day, we're probably a match. Browse my galleries, read my couples' stories on the blog, and if it feels right, reach out. The inquiry form takes two minutes and there's zero pressure.
What if we want a non-traditional wedding?
I'm here for it. Elopements, micro-weddings, courthouse ceremonies, destination adventures, unconventional venues — I photograph all of it, all couples (LGBTQIA+), all love stories. If it means something to you, it means something to me.
How quickly will we get our photos?
You'll receive a sneak peek within 48 hours because I know the wait is brutal. Your full gallery is delivered within 8 weeks — edited with intention, not rushed.
