WEDDINGS
Monroe specializes in authentic wedding images, showing real emotions and documenting real moments. Our wedding portraits have a very organic feel, rather than being posed and stiff, which we feel helps tell the story of your day. We love helping our couples style and plan their weddings by creating pinterest boards or recommending our favorite vendors. It's nice when couples ask our opinions on details, because obviously we know what photographs well, and we try to stay up on the newest options and trends.
Our wedding collections start at $3100 and go up from there. All of our collections include two shooters, online gallery and download of all images, print release of the images and 8 hours or more of photography time. We work together with Photo Pro in Cedar Rapids to offer all of our clients 20% off all prints printed at their lab as well.
Engagement sessions, photo booth, save the dates, invites, thank yous and albums are some of our add on options if they are not included in the collection you choose. Videography is an add on option as well, which you can read more about in our Videography information page.

WEDDING Q&A
How far out do you book wedding dates?
Many of our couples book 8-18 months out from their wedding date. It's never too early to book your BIG wedding needs; venue, photographer & DJ
Do you travel?
YES! We love photographing in new locations, and our prices for travel are VERY reasonable. We do not charge extra for travel 45 minutes or less away from Cedar Rapids. If it's 45 minutes - 2 hours away, typically we charge for hotel the night after the wedding, and a small fee. Destination weddings are given customized collection options to fit the client's needs. If you're having a destination wedding, we HIGHLY recommend hiring a photographer you know and trust, we've heard way too many horror stories of terrible photography happening to wonderful people.
What do I have to do to save my date with you?
In order to officially book your date, we require a 50% retainer and a signed contract. That's it!
What size of wedding party do you recommend?
We prefer photographing wedding parties with 6 or less on each side. 4 on each side seems to be perfect; but we've photographed 12 on each side before and survived!
What vendors do you like your couples to use?
Shoot us an email and ask for our vendor referral info - we'll hook ya up!
Who is your second shooter?
Tyler, Jess's husband, is our 2nd shooter! He's really fun, very easy going, and does a great job getting the guys to come out of their shell and loosen up a little bit. He photographs the guys, or one half of the wedding party, while Jess photographs the bride/girls. It's nice to get images from two different sets of eyes, from two different angles. Also, having two shooters allows us to get more done in less time.
If I want to do a boudoir shoot for my wedding gift, do you do those shoots?
Yep! Check out our Betties page to get more info! (BEST GIFT EVER)
