Chicago area DW Photographer Monica Z **PIC HEAVY**

[~*petals*~]

My wedding was last week and I'm totally on Cloud 9, loving my pictures!!! So, I have to tell you about my fabulous photographer Monica Z!

 

When I first started planning my destination wedding, I knew photography was really important and one of the areas that I didn't want to scrimp on... but I was lucky enough to win a destination wedding photography contest offered by Monica Z Photography! As the contest winner, she agreed to do all-day coverage of our wedding in exchange for travel expenses for her and her husband Chris (her second-shooter).

 

Since I live in the Chicago area (she's based in NW Indiana), she agreed to also do our engagement pictures in Chicago last spring, and they were beautiful!

 

 

 

 

 

Monica & Chris flew down to Jamaica with us, and gave us all-day coverage of our wedding. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day:

 

 

 

 

 

And we also did an awesome day-after shoot!

 

 

 

 

Monica & Chris are a really laid-back couple and our group got along with them really well.. and the pictures speak for themselves! I definitely recommend them for a Chicago-area engagement shoot or a destination wedding!!

You look so blissfully happy and vibrant in every shot, and your photographer did a fantastic job of capturing the joy of your day! I love the ones where ypou are both gazing at each other. you can see the love.
