Monica Lam Photography

I'm Monica, a fine art wedding and portrait photographer who is drawn to candid, happy moments bathed in romance and golden light. I adore working with fun-loving, passionate couples that are always up for an adventure! One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is being able to make individuals feel not only at ease but also confident in front of the camera. Beyond their wedding day, I enjoy getting to know my couples, creating relationships, and celebrating milestone moments. Before arriving in the United States, my father had worked as a field reporter for a major Hong Kong newspaper. Then, when I was ten years old, my father passed away, and everything changed. Family photos have taken on a whole new meaning for me since then. I saw bits and pieces of my father's life through his photographs before I had gotten to know him fully; I saw him as a teenager playing soccer in Hong Kong, or how he wore a black bell bottom suit on the day he married my mother, or how empty the rooms in my childhood home looked when my family first moved in. Because I, too, want you to have these photos, I became a photographer. I want you to have images that will be passed down through the years. I want you to remember how wet your dress was after dancing in the rain, but you didn't care since it was your wedding day. Or how that first kick inside your stomach made you feel simultaneously excited, afraid, and grateful. Or how much sand the kids carried into the car from the beach on that particular day, but it was such a good time. If it interests you, I'd be delighted to meet you.
