Sandra Monaco Photography

It's obvious looking at Sandra's work that she's an incredibly talented photography, but what you don't see is how amazing she is behind the scenes.

My wife and I were married a few days ago, and both of us generally hate having our photos taken. Sandra took something we dreaded and turned it into a fun and memorable experience. She's an amazing director and incredibly efficient - we both felt at ease the entire time we were with Sandra, and to our surprise we actually enjoyed having our photos taken. It allowed us to feel comfortable and get some incredible looking shots (the previews she showed us blew us away).

She also went far above and beyond just photographing, we felt so well supported in general with Sandra around. It let us really relax and fully enjoy our wedding.

Highly recommend Sandra, she really is the best.

We are SO grateful for Sandra and cannot express our appreciation and love for her enough. It's been one month since our wedding at Whistle Bear Golf Club and our friends and wedding party can't stop talking about how great Sandra was - she has that effect on the people around her. Sandra is the perfect match for couples looking for an easy-going, fun, and talented photographer (she's also well-organized, willing to take charge, and an absolute blessing to have with you on your wedding day).

Sandra's photo galleries speak for themselves, and our photos turned out more beautiful and captivating than we could have imagined. She stunningly captured the happiness, emotion, love, and fun of the day, taking note of the smallest decor details and also the genuine gratitude and happiness of us and our guests. Some of our guests are camera shy and Sandra was able to capture beautiful, natural photos that reflect their personality and being - these are the best photos that we have and now cherish of our family and friends.

As the wedding couple, she was so encouraging and it was easy to be comfortable with her around. She guided us through movements, kisses and smiles without feeling awkward or restricted, all while giving us compliments and building our confidence. The shots she got of us are incredible and nothing short of magical - we HIGHLY recommend doing a first look with Sandra there to take photos (these are some of our favourites). She was a natural fit alongside her second photographer and our videographer - never impeding each other and working so well together to keep us ahead of schedule all day!

Sandra over-delivered with our photos. We received sneak peeks in a matter of days (an overwhelming amount for a sneak peek!) and to our surprise, we received the full photo set not long after that. She felt more like a friend than a paid vendor at our wedding and we could also see her genuine emotion and happiness that she shared with us at our wedding.

We completely trust Sandra and she's worth much more than what she charges. If she feels like the right photographer for you, book her now!

Sandra is literally, hands down a true master at her art!! I call it art because her pictures are just that! My husband and I met Sandra a few years ago when at my cousins wedding in Mexico. As a bridesmaid then, i got to work with her then and was blown away by her professionalism, bubbly personality and knowledge and how at ease she made you feel. So i knew then, when it was our turn, she would be capturing our day. From our engagement shoot to our wedding, she was extremely helpful in every way and even when i messaged her a 100 times with questions ( wedding planning during a pandemic was stressful) but her advice was appreciated and helped sooo much!! She is truly a member of our family and blended in as if she was just one of the girls . Every single picture we were blown away - they are truly beautiful!!! She was incredibly organized and even had you in awe when she was doing the details photos. she made the photos seem to fly by, my husband and I arent ones for being centre of attention, but we were so at ease and were constantly laughing between photos with Sandra and Gary! She truly went the extra mile and then some for us, especially when my family through a curveball the night before by telling Sandra they had a surprise the next day for us - horse and carriage to ceremony!!! You wouldn't of even known it was a last minute addition as Sandra made sure to get all photos possible!! We were soo lucky to have such a talented and wonderful person like Sandra to capture our big day and we can't recommend her enough!

She’s the best there is and will make sure to capture your special day perfectly

WOW. Sandra was honestly AMAZING. She was so helpful in every way and every single picture we got turned out beautifully - and there's 1000!
She made sure to get every photo we wanted, plus so many we didn't know we wanted.
She blended in perfectly with the day. While we were getting ready, you didn't even notice she was there, resulting in some fabulous candid shots. She made everyone feel extremely comfortable allowing for everyone's natural and beautiful smiles to show.
She knew all the best spots in the venue and would fight for us if people were getting in the way.
She was incredibly organized and she made the photos seem to fly by. She had so many tips to help the day feel extra special. She always went the extra mile for us. We were lucky to have such a talented and wonderful human help capture our big day and we can't recommend her enough!

Working with Sandra has been an exceptional experience that we absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone! She is a genuinely kind and fun person to be around, and knows how to make couples feel completely at ease during photoshoots. We were so pleased with how quickly into our sessions we felt relaxed in front of the camera and were absolutely blown away with the resulting photos.

Sandra was also very compassionate, supportive, and flexible with our modified wedding arrangements as we went through changing plans for our wedding in August. Moreover, we had planned to do sunset photos in the evening of our wedding, but due to the rain, we were unable to complete those. Sandra went out of her way to schedule another evening to recreate the magic on a more weather friendly night. We had an absolute blast meeting up again, and were so thrilled to see her in her element, getting creative, having fun, and coming up with some incredible ideas for photos.

She is wonderfully talented, and produces jaw-dropping photos that will serve as incredible keepsakes from your special day. She made the experience stress free, and blended in perfectly during the day of.
Sandra is worth every penny and has gained some life-long customers! We look forward to working with Sandra to help mark our future milestones, and highly recommend taking her on for your wedding! Thank you so much, Sandra!

I knew I wanted Sandra to be our photographer after she did such a fantastic job at the wedding of our very close friends - we booked her back in 2019 for our wedding planned for May 2020.

First off, Sandra proactively reached out to me before we had to delay our wedding for the second time to see how we were doing, offered to assist in any way she could, and wanted to block off dates we were thinking about. This was so extremely thoughtful of her in these challenging times. Sandra really cares deeply about her clients!

Now for the wedding day - I will come right out and say I was an anxious bride (I don't like being the center of attention) and I was trying to brush off the rain. As soon as Sandra arrived she had a rain plan that also involved getting the photos outside she knew I really wanted - she felt like a close friend who had my back the whole day!! She was literally checking the weather radar looking for windows of opportunity for us while still finding fantastic indoor spots to get as may photos as possible. She made the day run so smoothly!

Now for the pictures - just INCREDIBLE - the delivery of quality and quantity is just beyond what we could have imagined!!! Our biggest problem is picking which ones are our favourite because their are SO MANY good ones.

I am SO THANKFUL we had Sandra for our wedding day - again, she felt like a close friend who had my back through the whole process!!

I can't even begin to describe how incredible it was to work with Sandra for our Engagement and Wedding photos. From her always bubbly personality, to her infectious smile, to her natural ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of a camera, she really is the full package! Not to mention the stunning photos she takes! Sandra was able to capture the emotion, the love, the warmth of our wedding day in photos like I have never seen before. She is truly invested in the people and event she is capturing and makes you feel like the most important clients at every turn. Jason and I want to thank you for being such a big part of our engagement and wedding, the day really wouldn't have been the same without you there capturing all of these amazing memories for us!!

Sandra Monaco is an absolutely incredible photographer, her skills and creativity made my photos so beautiful. I could not be happier with the way everything tuned out. She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera with her guidance and knowledge, on posing and making me look my absolute best. She made it feel so effortless and we had such an amazing time. I would highly highly recommend Sandra and her team because I am still blown away by all of the amazing shots she captured for me. I will cherish these photos for the rest of my life. I am so grateful for her and her talents because a wedding day goes by so fast, but these photos will continue to bring me the joy and happiness of that day for the rest of my life.

Sandra was highly recommended to us from a few friends and we actually chose our wedding date based on her availability. Right from the beginning she was very easy to work with and always so responsive. I'm pretty sure I messaged her 100 times the week leading up to the wedding and she always had a solution and eased my mind. My husband and I don't like to have the spotlight on us and didn't know how we felt about someone following us around capturing everything. After our engagement shoot we were so excited as Sandra made us feel so comfortable and made it so fun for us. We felt like we were just hanging out with a good friend. Her bubbly personality makes it easy for anyone to feel comfortabe with her. Our wedding party and family commented multiple times on how much they loved working with her and how easy she made it for them.

On top of her awesome personality, her pictures and video she made for us were AMAZING and exactly what we wanted. 7 months later and I still watch our video every day, she captured everything so perfectly. Highly, highly recommend!!
