Monique Bianca

I’m just a California girl with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair, that’s a Led Zeppelin lyric but I totally relate. The California coast is where I once called home, and the place I feel most inspired by.

For as long as I can remember my favorite past time was pulling out boxes of photographs and sifting through the hundreds of thousands of family photos my mom kept. I would ask “when was this?” and so the story would begin.

In my early adult years, I found myself madly in love and on a constant adventure living in San Francisco and getting lost along the Northern Coast. Falling in love and being in love in the city inspired me more than I could ever put into words. I began to photograph my love story, my day-to-day, my outings, my personal life. This need to document led me to then photographing other people’s love, and it became by far the most fulfilling.

I am honored to have my work published in People, California Wedding Day, Over The Moon, The Anti-Bride, Together Journal, Aisle + Vow, The Wed, The Friend Club and Santa Barbara Wedding Style. Named one of the Best Wedding Photographers in California by The Wed.

When I’m not photographing weddings, I’m at home in the California desert with my husband and our sons. Family is at the heart of both my life and my work, and motherhood has deeply shaped the way I document love and connection. I see love because I know love.

My Approach

I’m drawn to documenting love stories in a way that feels natural, nostalgic, and true. My work blends a documentary foundation with an editorial eye guided by soft light, thoughtful composition, and the meaningful in-between moments that define a day. I strive to create photographs that are not only beautiful, but feel personal and timeless.

All collections include a mix of digital & film photographs to bring a unique perspective to your wedding collection.
