It's your love story. It deserves to be celebrated. Weddings and elopements are that celebration. The start of a journey you're embarking on together. Each celebration is unique and should be reflected as such. Wedding photography is the timeline of your day filled with faces and places that you love.
Arizona Destinations: The state of Arizona is filled with endless stunning locations and easy access to the great outdoors. Arizona has much to offer - from saguaro-filled deserts, to red rock country, into the lush creekside, and up to the cool mountain forest! One of my favorite things about being a photographer is all of the amazing places I've been lucky enough to visit and share with my clients.
Why do I love being a Flagstaff photographer? There are many reasons I decided to make this little mountain town my forever home. From the refreshing winter chill to sunny summer weather, Flagstaff maintains its signature beauty all year long! With the change of each season, the Flagstaff landscape transforms.
Why do I love being a Grand Canyon photographer? So often, you'll hear people talk about the Grand Canyon and say that "pictures can't do it justice". And you know what? Visiting the Grand Canyon truly makes an impression on you - one that can't simply be translated into a photograph. The geologic features, changing vegetation, and rich colors are something you have to be within to experience.
Why do I love being a Sedona photographer? As both a resident of Northern Arizona and a nature lover, I can tell you that Sedona is a one-of-a-kind place! It's no secret why people from all over the world come to see Red Rock Country. Known for everything from its signature red rocks to the old Western movies shot there, Sedona has truly stunning views and a rich history.

Monica was wonderful! I had a vision for our engagement pictures and was so excited when I found Monica and Saaty Photography. We booked a trip to Vegas and thought it would be a great idea to get engagement pictures taken in the Grand Canyon. Being travelers, it can be hard to plan, know the best spots, what to wear, etc. From the start, Monica provided links to ALL of these resources: suggestions on what to wear, the best places to go in the Canyon for what we envisioned. We don't take photos often and are somewhat awkward, but Monica directed us every step of the way in our pictures and had

Monica at Saaty Photography and her team did an incredible job for our engagement photos and our wedding. She and her team made us feel comfortable and relaxed the entire time. She did a great job photographing our fur babies (two stubborn and high energy Australian shepherds) in both our photo shoots. Our photos are better than I could have ever imagined. The best advice I ever got when wedding planning was to invest in the photos, because your photos are what you have left when the wedding is over. I am SO glad we did! Icing on the cake is that we found Monica's rates to be the most competitive

From the very beginning, Monica went above and beyond. When we expressed interest, we had a phone conversation to get to know each other and ensure she was a good fit for us. She is highly organized and provided us with many resources that not only made the photography planning stress-free, but that made organizing the wedding itself easier. No matter the questions I had, she always quickly responded via email. When it came time to do the first look photos, she guided us through a wonderful shoot in the forest and was so easy to work with! The day of the wedding, she was punctual and organized

Monica was recommended to us from our Wedding planner and we are so happy that we were able to hire her for both our engagement and wedding photos!
She is very communicative and was able to be flexible with us due to a snafu for our engagement photos and due to changes in our wedding planning as well.
During the photos shoots she did an amazing job getting us loose and helping us have a ton of fun. The photos she took are gorgeous and she was able to get them to us quickly!
We are so glad we worked with Monica, and will definitely work with her again for future family photos!

Monica did a phenomenal job creating our "picture perfect" wedding day. She was very professional, flexible, and was great at finding beautiful picture locations. She made me and my husband feel very comfortable and relaxed during our one-on-one photos. Monica ensured she captured all the moments we asked for and more. We would not change a single thing about the photos we received! We really could not have hired a better photographer for our big day. You will not regret hiring Monica!!

Monica took our wedding photos at the Grand Canyon and did such a beautiful job! We actually had a last minute change of plans for our ceremony due to weather and Monica was very flexible, accommodating and helpful in helping us find a different location at the last minute. She was great to work with and quick to respond with any questions we had. Her photos turned out so nice and have great quality. Thank you Monica!

Monica did a fantastic job capturing the magic of our elopement. She was very organized, structured, and easy to work with. Jeff and I had no clue what we were doing, but Monica was able to guide us through the elopement process on top of taking incredible photographs of our special day. The day after our elopement, we were sent several pictures of our special day. Not even a week after our elopement, we were sent the full gallery. I would strongly recommend Monica as a photographer to anyone!

By far so pleased with the outcome of our service! Mojica did an amazing job coordinating with our other vendors, getting everything done that I needed her to. We did our engagement session with her as well and that was so fun. My husband was nervous with getting professional pictures done and Monica made him feel comfortable, confident and relaxed! It was well worth the money we spent. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our pictures turned out amazing! I love looking at them and remembering the day we got married. Monica is very detail oriented so she got a lot of pictures of things I didn’t

Monica was absolutely amazing! I have nothing but good things to say about her. Not only does she capture beautifully framed photographs in a unique and colorful fashion, but she is also always searching for those authentic interactions throughout the entire shoot. She took the time to get to know about us, and that extra touch of care truly shows in her work. It also made us both more comfortable with her and more comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I are having trouble picking out our favorite from the session because we love them all! Thank you again, Monica. We will forever cherish
