I took him a very old 5"X8" photo and he scanned it, cleaned it up and restored it so well I could enlarge it to 2'x3' and it now hangs on the wall. Beautiful!

Monumental Arts is truly a blessing! I could find only one photo of my dad that I took with a cellphone many years ago. The resolution was low but I still desired for it to be enhanced and Monumental Arts took that photo and transformed it! Everyone was saying how beautiful they were. I was able to use them for my father’s funeral! Hats off to Monumental Arts!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! Although it wasn't for the best of circumstances, I'm happy it met your needs for your father's funeral. I also appreciate you coming back to me today for further restoration work - returning Clients are the highest compliment I can receive!

Engagement Photography

He was extremely rude when I was asking about pricing and explaining that we didn’t want to spend over a certain amount. He was practically yelling at me that he is the most highly rated photographer in all of the mid Atlantic. I’m sorry if our budget is less than what you charge but you shouldn’t be such a dick to someone because of that. You just say, sorry I can’t accommodate that budget. And not yell at someone.

Thank you for your review, I do appreciate your feedback - however, you seem to misunderstand "rude" with being "direct" - I provided you up front my pricing for an engagement session, and you not only asked for a discount "because you thought it was too expensive" you indicated you couldn't pay more than $150 - basically an 80% discount. I don't appreciate being called a dick because you didn't like my pricing - I truly hope you found a "professional" that met all your needs and expectations, and one that can deal with your attitude - you have a Champagne tastes with a Miller High Life budget

Portrait Photography

I was so happy with the photography session in the studio! We went with the minis session and it was perfect for what I wanted. Everything was perfect, from first contact to the scheduling, the photo shoot, and delivery of photos. We will use Monumental again, I am sure! I highly recommend.
