Monika Szmidt Photography / Studio Photographer Manchester

I came across Monika's website when researching newborn photographers online. Her page appealed to me above all others because of her experience in this field, her portfolio (absolutely stunning photos!) and also because the images had more of a natural feel than others I'd came across.I contacted Monika with a few questions and received a quick (and extremely lovely and helpful) response. It wasnt long until I booked in with her and I'm so glad I did. I now have the most beautiful photos of my daughter. They're more than I could possibly have hoped for!The day itself was highly professional and very relaxing for me and my partner. During the few hours we were there, she handled our daughter graciously, used various props and outfits to capture the cutest poses and all within her lovely home studio. The time flew by! Monika herself was lovely and down to earth.Thank you Monika for the most beautiful photos I could wish for!I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to capture the first few days of their babys arrival.

Monika captured our wedding day perfectly! From our first contact, Monika has been extremely professional, responsive and wonderful to work with, and had lots of tips and guidance that helped us through the big day. Her service is truly amazing and of the highest standard. Monika was so lovely to be around and made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, which is a challenge given how shy we both are! She has given us amazing photographs that we will treasure forever. Thank you!

I can't even begin to thank you for capturing the most beautiful images of the happiest day in my life! we absolutely adore each and everyone of the photographs. It was such a pleasure to have you Monika, with us on our wedding day.Thank you so much for your attention to every detail and making us feel so relaxed" during the shoot.Your work is outstanding.

Amazing photographer who has got a great eye for amazing stills. Definitely recommended for either Wedding or Personal shots.

Monika is an absolutely fantastic photographer. She's been working with us for 2 years now, first capturing our engagement photoshoot, all the way through to our big day 2 years later! We had the twists and turns of lockdown, and a small lockdown wedding which Monika photographed too! She has been wonderful; her services are top notch, and she is patient and helpful in guiding us (two pretty awkward individuals!) into some really lovely poses. She's got a great eye for a beautiful backdrop too.We are so pleased with our photos; Monika is a truly wonderful person and photographer, and we are so happpy she was able to capture our memories so beautifully!

Monica was our wedding photographer and she did an outstanding job, we contacted Monica about three weeks before we were due to get married, Monica didn't bat an eyelid and took on the challenge, I can honestly say I was not disappointed her photographs are beautiful and capture our story and document our day beautifully, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Monica she's passionate about what she does which shows in her pictures. I'm overwhelmed by her pictures they're stunning, in this day and age where everyone has a mobile phone with a camera of X mega pixels you might be wondering why pay for a photographer however the pictures and direction Monica does you just can't replicate; her photographs will be a lasting reminder as everything else fades we've a portfolio of beautiful outstanding pictures that document our big day, thank you Monica for everything
