about me

meet your photographer

the woman BEHIND THE CAMERA

As part of my lifelong pursuit for self-expression, I’ve grasped at any and every artistic tool within my reach: pencils, paints, words, photo (as a hobby), but nothing truly clicked until my husband convinced me to buy my first professional camera.

That was 14 years ago, and every day since I’ve pinched myself as I live out my dream as a Cancun destination photographer for couples and families who share my passion for adventure, and the unbeatable views sure don’t hurt!

When I’m not photographing couples or editing galleries to a soundtrack of Florence and the Machine and The Killers, I enjoy the beautiful life this career has allowed me to build! Cuddling up with my husband Marco (aka Mars) and my 3 cats for our millionth Lord of the Rings rewatch, hoping for a natural 20 on D&D nights with friends, or traveling overseas to have real adventures every late summer.

SAY HI

know (me)

better

I. Love is what matters

I’m honored to celebrate, cherish and photograph the love of couples of all identities and stories.

II. almost a type a person

My planning skills are incredibly sharp… as long as we’re talking about wedding timelines, vendor coordination, and making sure a ceremony starts exactly on time.

III. MIDDLE CHILD

My origin story made me develop the ideal traits for someone whose job is documenting everyone else’s big moments.

IV. GOT A travel bug

I’ve been to Portugal, Switzerland, France, Italy, and twice to Spain and Japan. My bucket list (Iceland, New Zealand, and Greece) is starting to feel a little impatient.

“I AM SO THANKFUL WE HAD HER TO CAPTURE OUR DAY”

Not only did our pictures come out beautifully, the experience we had with her was truly unforgettable. She made sure we had fun start to finish, while still making sure we got the pictures we needed.

“SHE WAS, HANDS DOWN, THE BEST ‘THIRD WHEEL!’

Monica was personable and friendly and made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. She was so helpful and engaging throughout the whole process. Since receiving our photos, we can’t stop looking at them! She really captured our beautiful moments in the best possible way, and there’s nothing that we would change.
