Monique Bridgette Photography

Hi there! I’m Monique Bridgette, a Monterey County–based photographer with over 7 years of experience capturing life’s most meaningful milestones. Through my work at I’ve specialized in family, newborn, maternity, and cake smash sessions—documenting countless love stories as they grow from bump to baby and beyond. After years of photographing families and witnessing the beauty of love at every stage, I’ve felt inspired to expand into what started it all—engagements and elopements. There’s something so timeless and raw about two people choosing forever, and I want to capture that emotion in a way that feels natural, heartfelt, and true to you. My photography style is warm, romantic, and organic, blending natural light with soft tones to create images that tell a story and feel like home. I’m all about helping couples feel comfortable, confident, and fully present—so your photos reflect real connection, not just poses. Whether it’s an intimate coastal elopement or a dreamy engagement session at sunset, I’d love to help you capture your love in the most authentic and beautiful way possible. Let’s create something timeless together. 🤍
