Monica Terrero Photography

Hey friends! I’m the girl behind the camera, capturing your most cherished moments with joy and gratitude. I picked up my first camera in 2019 and haven’t looked back since. Here are a few things that make me, well, me:

🙏 I walk with the Holy Spirit because Jesus is my best friend, my salvation, and my foundation!

📸 I’ve been immersed in the wedding industry for over 10 years. I started out with an event coordinating company, moved into event rentals, and now I’m all about photography. Fun fact: I also worked in the catering department at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville.

✈️ Traveling and building genuine connections with people is my passion. I love hearing about your unique life and love stories. Africa and Thailand are next on my list.

👩🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏿 I’m incredibly blessed to share my life with my high school sweetheart. He’s my best friend, gym partner, mentor, business partner, and cheerleader. We spend a lot of time together, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

🧋I love Iced Chai Lattes, only from Starbucks.

✨I currently don’t watch any TV because I’m a dreamer, focused on chasing my dreams.

💃🏼🐐🏡💪I love to dance, walk 10,000 steps a day, hang out with my favorite pet goat Coco, and spend time with my friends and family!

I am looking forward to sharing more with you all!

Special thanks to my talented friend for the beautiful branding photos! 💕

Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me and my journey. Now it’s your turn, tell me something I don’t know about you in the comments! 👇🏻

From a dream to reality: how one night’s vision led me to capture a breathtaking wedding in Tulum! 🙏💕

One morning, I woke up from a dream where my dear friend Allison had posted on her Instagram story looking for wedding vendors, but she didn’t have a photographer yet. The dream was so vivid that I checked her Instagram, half-expecting to see the post. When I realized it was just a dream, I decided to reach out, sharing my dream and offering to photograph her wedding. Fast forward to today, and I had the incredible honor of capturing Allison and Mike’s stunning destination wedding in Tulum, Mexico. This experience has been a perfect blend of my love for photography, storytelling, and travel. Thank you, Allison and Mike, for an unforgettable wedding weekend filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments. Dreams really do come true!

Walking on sunshine 💕☀️

I love chasing that sunlight to give my brides a radiant glow. There’s something beautiful about capturing those perfect, golden moments that highlight the joy and beauty of your special day.

“Marriage is one of the most humbling, sanctifying journeys you will ever be a part of. It forces us to wrestle with our selfishness and pride. But it also gives us a platform to display love and commitment.”

-Francis Chan

Here’s what others aren’t telling you…

It’s perfectly normal to feel a touch of grief on your wedding day. This bittersweet emotion means you're saying goodbye to an old chapter and starting a beautiful new journey.

If you feel immense pressure to make your wedding day perfect, you are NOT alone.

Society often tells us it should be the best day ever, which creates high expectations. While I haven’t had my own wedding yet, I’ve felt the same pressure for other big events in my life, and my emotions didn’t always match. High expectations can lead to guilt, shame, doubt, or sadness when we don’t feel a certain way.

If you can relate, know that what you’re experiencing is healthy and human. Weddings are beautiful milestones, but they also bring uncertainty and mixed emotions. If you feel this way on your wedding day, it’s okay. Embrace your feelings, they’re all valid. Welcome any emotion, knowing it’s perfectly okay. There’s no right or wrong way to experience your special day.

Brides, remember to carry love with you wherever you go; it’s the best accessory you’ll ever have. 🥰✨💕

Dreaming of your own happily ever after?

As you gaze upon the wedding ring of your dreams, remember to embrace the journey and the patience it takes to build a love that lasts. Cherish each moment and find joy knowing you have the rest of your life to create beautiful memories together!

I know this may be controversial but….

Your wedding day is not a popularity contest. It is about celebrating with the people who truly care for you and the success of your marriage. When deciding who to invite, see who will be rooting for your marriage in the test of times. Remember you don’t have to invite anyone out of guilt. It is Your wedding day so make your decisions out of love and empowerment. 🤍💍✨

Hey couples, feeling overwhelmed with wedding planning?

You’re not alone. The whirlwind of schedules, appointments, and phone calls, on top of your everyday tasks can leave you feeling exhausted and stressed out.

Here’s the thing: planning your wedding shouldn’t mean sacrificing your well-being. Your journey to the big day involves more than just logistics; it’s about taking care of yourself and nurturing your relationship.

That’s why it’s important to make time for relaxation and self-care. Enjoy a calming bath, take a peaceful walk, or find other ways to unwind. And don’t forget about your partner. Schedule regular date nights and do things you both enjoy, like getting a couples massage or having a romantic dinner. As your wedding day approaches, focus on these moments together, they’ll keep you grounded and connected.

Heading toward forever in style! This is one of my favorite shots from Carol & Zachary’s wedding day! 🤍💍

Here’s to the kind of love that makes you dizzy with joy!

I love these mini conservatory centerpieces by . They’re the perfect way to create english charm and whimsical flair on your wedding day!

There’s something so sweet about having all junior bridesmaids. Their little dresses, bright smiles, and joyful energy bring a whole new level of cuteness to a wedding day. 🥰

What a moment of pure beauty seeing Stephanie look at Jamie with that look of joy and wonder, knowing that one day, she’d be the one to stand beside her daugther when it is her turn to walk down the aisle.
