Mo Garratt Photographer | Reviews

I cannot speak any more highly of my experience with Mo! She took our engagement and wedding photos, and seven years later, when people enter our home, they ask who took our gorgeous photos? Mo makes you feel comfortable and at ease during the shoot. She lets you lead how you want the photos done, and will give suggestions based on lighting and backdrop. Mo is willing to do whatever is necessary to get your dream photos, including waking up at 4 am, in the freezing cold, during Cherry Blossom season in DC so that we could get our engagement photos taken during the morning light (thank you again, for that haha!). Her talent for photography is obvious, but what made our experience so wonderful was her personality. Mo is a great listener, easy to get a long with, thoughtful, and all about sharing in your happiness! She's wonderful.

We hired Monique to photograph both of our daughters' fall weddings: One on a lawn by the Indian River in DE; the other, at the beautiful Cylburn Arboretum in Baltimore. My best friend also hired her to do her daughter's wedding at the Pine Branch Club in Upperco, MD. The photographs from all three weddings are exquisite and absolutely breathtaking. Monique's use of natural lighting, beautiful backgrounds, and her ability to catch us candidly as we enjoyed that special day made all of the difference. We have 800 photos and, whenever I look through them, all of the happy feelings of that special day come flooding back and I can't stop smiling. Thank you Monique!

Mo made our engagement session extremely special and fun. As a photographer, she has an eye for capturing beautiful light, finding great settings to create excellent backdrops, and she made us feel extremely comfortable throughout. Her pictures have a dreamy warmth that is absolutely timeless. As a person, Mo is relaxed, a great listener, professional, and very organized. We received our photos back quickly, and they remain some of my favorite photos of all time. I look forward to booking her for other special life moments.

Monique shot our engagement photos  while we were visiting family in Bethany Beach. She was attentive in all aspects from the very beginning, including: selecting the photo venue, identifying a color scheme for outfits & most importantly capturing our personalities in the finished product. Her calm & fun-loving demeanor allowed my normally camera-shy husband to fully enjoy the photo taking process. It was evident that a lot of time & effort went into her editing - the lighting, colors and quality were beyond what we were expecting! We highly recommend Monique to all & will continue to utilize her for future family shoots!

We are beyond thrilled with our wedding pictures!! From start to finish Mo was so wonderful (and easy) to work with. My husband and I went back and forth about whether or not to spend the extra money on photography for our destination wedding, but eventually decided to take a chance with Mo and boy was it worth it!
I have so many girlfriends that were disappointed with their wedding photos and I’m happy to say we love all of ours! She is extremely talented and made us feel at ease the whole night. Highly recommend her!

I can’t recommend Mo enough! She was incredibly responsive and flexible with our ever changing wedding plans (due to COVID). She made the day super enjoyable- arrived early, helped direct family members, stuck to the timeline, detailed about our posing adjustments, clear directions, encouraged us to have fun and captured all of our moments from posed to candid. Loved getting our pictures back (very timely) and even the option of doing an album with her! She’s very talented and a great person to work with.

I cannot possibly recommend Mo any more! Mo did our engagement photo shoot in November 2019, and we loved her so much that we asked her to do our welcome dinner and wedding in October 2020, as well. I was incredibly nervous on both days, but Mo's easygoing attitude and great eye immediately made me feel comfortable. Her photos are absolutely gorgeous, and any couple would be lucky to have her photograph their day!

We did a ton of research in choosing our vendor team, speaking to multiple photographers on the phone and pouring over social media profiles and online galleries. We not only loved Mo's romantic and airy photography style but also felt immediately at ease the first time we spoke with her. She is sweet and laid back, making each session so much fun, but at the same time is incredibly organized and was a huge help in thinking through every last detail for our wedding day. We also really appreciated her flexibility, as she traveled to Philly for our engagement session and worked with us through multiple changed plans with COVID. We felt so lucky to have Mo shoot our intimate 'minimony' ceremony in September and can't wait to work together again for our postponed larger reception in 2021! We also got our photos back within 10 days - Mo is truly a ROCKSTAR!
