Monica Z Photography

You do unique pictures in different settings that no other photographer would think of. Most photographer do very similar poses, but not Monica Z. photography. I would recommend Monica and Chris to any future bride who is looking for beautiful pictures that are unique!

MonicaZ is wonderful! She and Chris did my sister's wedding and now my own! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a quality photographer! So artistic and creative!

I loved working with Monica and Chris. We took our engagement photos with them and were completely surprised at how wonderful the pictures looked. (Both of us have bad streaks of taking bad photos!) We used a few of the photos for a save the date post card and family members thought the people in the photos were models, but with a second look they realized it was Ben and I. They worked with my mother and meet one of her demands. They also set up a photo booth at the reception, something that was a total surprise to us, and the guests loved it! I would highly recommend Monica and Chris!!!

We loved Monica and Chris! It was well worth every penny and our photos were priceless. They have a unique way of doing things, I can't wait to have them take pictures for us in the future!

Chris and Monica are a very talented husband & wife team. They made us look like models in our engagement and wedding photos- our pictures are top quality and absolutely beautiful. At our reception, they had their laptop playing our ceremony pictures... a BIG hit! The only thing I would have changed is purchasing a larger package for more time at our wedding!

Our wedding photos came out absolutely amazing and Monica and Chris were such a pleasure to work with. They are extremely professional, responsive, and just so much fun!! I could not have asked for any more.

Please note, I got married in New York in the winter and opted to use photographers from the Mid-West for my wedding. So if I was instilling that level of trust, you have to know how good these guys are. Sure enough, as the East Coast got pounded with "Snomaggedon Part 2", I was worried about people travelling but not my photographers -- true to form they planned ahead, arrived safe, early and ready for action. Monica and Chris make an incredible team. I knew they'd capture every important moment but I didn't realize just how amazing their method of doing that is. My preference was that more time be spent on capturing the candids more so than posed formals and I was over-the-moon about the balance of what they got. We were done with formals by the reception so there was never an interruption from partying. Which was important to me -- why pose pictures of you celebrating if there was no celebrating because you were too busy taking pictures?! The most brilliant suggestion was that they set up a "photo booth" which for this was just them stationing themselves for a bit. Because of this suggestion, we were able to get pretty much everyone at the wedding and also capture them in not so serious, more fun ways. I am thrilllllllled with the results!

My husband and I met Monica and Chris at (of all places) a bridal show. One of the worst experiences... until meeting them! Everyone at bridal shows are shoving information down your throat, but when walking by Monica and Chris's booth, I was taken aback by the beauty of their photographs on the screen behind them. After exchanging information, we met with them a couple weeks later and booked with them the next day! It was the best decision we made!Monica and Chris shot our engagement session, bridal shower and wedding day. They designed our guest book and we are discussing doing a 'day after' session in a couple weeks. I cannot begin to explain how happy we are with their quality of work. Monica and Chris are personable, professional, fun, passionate, amazing, gifted and of all things, great people. They truly care about you, and want to make sure they capture every emotion involved on your wedding day. They document your wedding in a way that will bring you right back to that day, you will feel every emotion you did on your wedding day when going through the photos. We have gotten so many compliments from our guests and friends about how amazing our photos turned out, and how much emotion came through in each photograph. We have all of that thanks to Monica and Chris, two of the most talented photographers today. Your wedding day is the most important day of your life, and you want to remember it forever. There is nothing better than knowing we can go back and flip through the album to relive our wedding day. And now we have two great friends in the process! Thank you Monica and Chris :)

Monica and Chris were awesome to work with! Throughout the whole process, they were professional, responsive and had great ideas. Our engagement shoot was a blast--and all of our family and friends raved about the pictures. The day of our wedding it rained, and Monica and Chris had some creative ideas to make sure we still got some amazing, memorable pictures. Plus, they are both just really cool people and fun to be around. I would (and will) recommend Monica and Chris to anyone. Tips for guys: If your fiancee is looking to give you a wedding planning job, say you'll find the photographers. Spend a week "researching" and tell her how much time you're spending finding the perfect photographers (while you're just taking it easy)--then just hire Monica. You'll get all the credit without any of the work.

Monica and Chris did a fantastic job. They made the day fun and so stress free. Pictures are gorgeous! We have over 1800 to choose from! Wonderful! I already have recommended them to a friend!

We had a great experience with Monica Z. Photography. We ended up with so many beautiful pictures, we could hardly choose which ones to order! We had almost two thousand. Monica and Chris were easy to work with and were very professional. We've had many compliments on the pictures, and when we look at them it feels almost like re-living the day. Thanks, Monica and Chris! We love the pictures. It was a larger investment for us, but we've displayed them all over and given them to friends and family, so we enjoy them every day.

Monica and Chris are the nicest and most amazing people!!! They really saved our wedding day!!! The resort we had our destination wedding at was a disaster and Monica and Chris helped us through it all keeping us laughing. We are so thankful for them!! The day after Trash the Dress session was so much fun!! They are both so good at making you feel so comfortable. They will do anything to get a great shot! We had many delays on our wedding day (because of the resort) and they were very flexible with their time and went above and beyond to help us every step of the way. Monica and Chris are more than just excellent photographers they are wedding experts!! They are very professional and also a lot of fun, by the end of the day you feel like you have 2 new friends. I highly recommend them!! :-)

When I first started planning my wedding, I started looking for vendors in the Chicago area, and I was fortunate enough to find Monica Z Photography online.Since we live relatively close (We live in the Chicago area -- Monica's based in NW Indiana), she also did our engagement pictures at Chicago's Promontory Point last spring, and they were beautiful-- great colors and poses!Monica & Chris flew down to Jamaica with us -- they're laid-back and got along with our group. They gave us coverage of our wedding, as well as a gorgeous day-after session where we took photos all over the resort and the beach-- we went in the ocean & the pool & Monica got right in with us.Monica and Chris are incredibly talented and everybody who has seen our photos has been completely blown away!

Monica and her husband Chris did an awesome job shooting our wedding. From our first meeting all the way to dropping off our wedding album, they were so professional and not to mention talented. The pictures they took were absolutely amazing and they made us feel totally at ease in front of the camera. I would definitely recommend them if you want to have some great photos to remember your special day!

Oh my god I was extremely pleased with Monica Z Photography. They have a lot of packages so its easy to fit one into your budget. My photographer was professional and also fun to be around....the wedding party loved him! If you haven't selected a photographer, trust me, you will love Monica Z Photography !

Monica and her husband were great. The engagement session was a great chance to get to know Monica before the wedding. She is so creative to get great shots. Most photographers take lots of pictures, but they bring more. Monica will climb a tree, lay on the floor or even in a bush to get a beautiful shot. They give wonderful direction and have amazing patience (collecting numerous family members for pictures was not as easy as I thought). If you look through her online albums and blogs you will see she makes every bride look beautiful! On your wedding day, you will know the photographer you will get and will know you will get what you pay for and more!

I went into my wedding not wanting to skimp on pictures, but blow my budget either. I searched and searched, I went through every website on the wedding wire and all over the internet. Monica Z's pictures were beautiful and they had a reasonable price. It was worth every penny I paid and more. We did an engagement session that was great and then on the wedding day they took so many pictures. Most photographers take lots of pictures, but they bring more.

Monica and her husband (Christopher Z Photography) took the pictures at my Wedding! They did an excellent job! I look at the amount of photos that they took and the quality of the prints and it is amazing! I'm so glad I went with Monica Z! She is extremely eazy to work with, and a true awesome photographer!

Monica and her husband Chris did an amazing job photographing our wedding. We love the photos she takes with the rings in the flowers and really wanted a documentary style of our day, which we received. Every time I go through our photos I feel like I'm walking through the entire day again. Monica's prices were reasonable for the Chicagoland area and she was very flexible in helping us build the package that fit our needs. I would recommend Monica Z Photography to all of my friends!

Monica Z Photography is top notch, from start to finish. Not only were they flexible to meet with and mindful of our budget, they also took amazing photos that captured the magnificence of the day. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I cannot give Monica enough praise for her photography work at our wedding. First of all, she was incredibly easy and flexible to work with and she seemed truly invested in helping us get the pictures we wanted. The day of the wedding Monica kept me at ease and was a true pleasure to have around. We also got pictures back from our wedding WAY faster than other friends did from their weddings. I continued to work with Monica off and on for the next year because I decided to purchase some additional pictures. Every time I contacted her, Monica seemed excited to help me out (even if I was just making a tiny purchase!). She is a fantastic photographer and you will not regret your decision to go with her!!

Monica totally captured the joy of the day. Her pictures were amazing!! She has such creativity and is so flexible to what we wanted.Working with her was a pleasure. I would recommend Monica to anyone looking for a superior photographer. I can't say enough about how pleased we were with her and her work.

Monica was amazing! We swear by how amazing the photos were and what a fantastic addition she was to our wedding. It was sheer luck that I found her and I even tried to get her for my brother in law's wedding (she was booked for a destination, sadly for us). Every wedding we've gone to since cannot even compare with the quality of pictures she is able to take. She has a fantastic eye for shots and she is great with directing families for the necessary pictures. I've been in pictures lately that look terrible! And now I am always comparing our wedding photos against our friends and family and ours are the best! Even my mother in law thinks we found an amazing photographer for the wedding and she's hard to please!

Monica is an amazing photographer and we felt so blessed to happen upon her and her talent. It was luck that we found her and fell in love with her and her work immediately.

I love Monica. She is such a sweet heart and loves what she does. She has a unique eye and is well worth every penny.

I am soo thrilled to be able to call Monica and Chris not only colleagues but friends. I am so inspired by their work and trust them with the biggest of family events (i.e. my sister's summer wedding!!) I have worked with Monica a couple of times and she is professional, dedicated, wonderfully skilled and a lot of fun!! Her pictures speak for themselves and the two of them shooting together is just so dynamic! You can absolutely trust your most treasured moments to this husband and wife team, I will!!
