Monroe Payne did the photography for my wedding. He has a very special talent for getting the best pictures from a diverse groups of people. The pictures weren't just beautiful they captured the moments beautifully. I look back on the pictures when I'm having a hard day, they really are that good. Monroe was also very fun to have at the wedding. I thought afterward I would have liked to have him there even if he wasn't taking pictures. He was also very professional and he made taking pictures a fun addition to the wedding. So if you are looking for the highest quality photographs look no further. The quality of his pictures are at least as good as the professionals who work out of NYC and he's so much easier to work with. I would add more stars but I can only add. read more

I needed a professional photograph of myself for my business website and to post elsewhere online. Monroe and I had already met in a course we had both taken, and I knew him to be very professional and enthusiastic about his work, as well as approachable and fun to work with. I also was impressed with the samples of his work I had seen. There was no question in my mind that he should be my go-to guy for the photograph. I wasn't disappointed. I'm not naturally photogenic, but Monroe did a beautiful job. I've had zillions of compliments on the photo. P.S. He also took photos of my cat (and office manager, Mushroom), who *is* naturally photogenic. Darling! Kathy Nelson, Principal K. Nelson Research read more

Monroe has done the weddings for two of my daughters and working with him was pleasure for everyone. From planning to execution to product delivery everything was handled in a professional and efficient way at a very reasonable cost. Two different daughters with two very different styles but Monroe and crew were able to capture the flavor of the events, work with the personalities involved and come out with incredible photos and memories. Highly recommended. read more

Monroe Payne is excellent to work with. Not only is Monroe a highly talented and professional photographer. His determination to leave me 110% satisfied was always evident, and he accomplishes this with grace and humor. His portrait of me is excellent, and the artwork he created for my marketing materials is outstanding, reflecting great ideas, planning, and technical wizardry. I cannot recommend Monroe highly enough. read more

Most recently discovered Dean's Cove on a motorcycle ride with Monroe to shoot some pics with our Harley! YES, our Harley Davidson! I won a door prize for a photo session and was so excited, but how do I get my husband on board for pictures?!?! Ask him if he would like pictures with his HARLEY! That worked and we have lovely pics! read more
