Hi, I'm so glad you're here! I am Monica, with Monica Hunt Photography. A little bit about me, I grew up in San Diego, and married my high school sweetheart in 2009.
I love animals of all kinds, especially dogs. They are my favorite! I often find myself gravitating towards them when we are out and about. My daughter has adapted the same love for animals, and loves to pet them whenever she can as well.
Family is most important to me. I love spending time with my family whenever I can. We love to camp with our travel trailer and adventure to new places. I could sit on the beach for hours just listening to the waves, or in the woods listening to the wildlife. Nature is just so peaceful!
A little background in my photography career is that I picked up my first professional camera in 2017. I photographed my first wedding that same year, and it was one of the best feelings of my life! I have always been a hopeless romantic, so being able to capture love between two people, just made my heart and soul so happy! I've been photographing ever since, and will never look back.
I am also a believer in God. I put my faith in Him and believe everything happens for a reason.
I love to meet new people! I hope to get a chance to meet you soon, and learn a little about you and what makes your heart happy. :)

She made us feel like we were in our own little world when we were doing our shoots. The shoots within Monica were SO fun and comfortable. I have had numerous people tell me that our photos are some of the best they've seen. We have so many favorites that it's hard to pick which ones to print!!! She truly brought our fairytale to life with these pictures."

"Monica was THE best choice of photographer that my husband & I could’ve picked for our special day. We first got to know her during our engagement photo session where she made us both feel super confident in front of the camera and helped us find fun poses that felt very natural. A few months later she photographed our wedding in Julian and was such a blessing to have! She coordinated with our other vendors, took control with family/group photos, and helped make the evening more memorable for everyone."

"Monica is AMAZING. I got super lucky because she brought along her assistant/partner and they were both so wonderful. Almost every guest commented on how professional and thorough they were. Both smiling the whole time and very sweet. Everyone felt comfortable. Then I received the photos, sooner than expected and I'm beyond thrilled. They are absolutely gorgeous and everything we had hoped for. Thank you Monica!"

"Not only was I absolutely BLOWN away by her photos, but she also showed up early to scope out the landscape and saved the day with lash glue when my eyelashes started falling off 🤣. I can’t say enough good things about Monica… She was personable, friendly, and truly an amazing photographer. We have SO many great photos and I am so thankful we booked her. I definitely will be using Monica for many more photo sessions in the future. Thank you Monica!!!"
