Monica Kristin Photography
About
Overview & Vibe
Monica Kristin photographs weddings across Far North Queensland from a base in Cairns, covering Palm Cove, Port Douglas, Gordonvale, the Atherton Tablelands and Fitzroy Island. She works alone, and says so plainly: whoever books her is the person who turns up on the day. She welcomes same-sex couples and same-sex weddings explicitly.
Style & Approach
She describes her work as a candid style that honours a couple’s own story, and says she aims for beautiful, timeless images that capture the essence of each moment in a way that is natural and authentic. She shoots digitally rather than on film, and every photograph is colour adjusted before delivery.
Ideal For
Couples marrying anywhere around Cairns, from a full ten hour day through to a backyard elopement. She has photographed weddings with more than a hundred guests and elopements small enough that she served as a witness, and says size makes no difference to her. Engagement sessions, family, children and maternity work are offered alongside.
The Need-to-Knows
Three wedding packages are published with prices and inclusions, from one to two hours up to ten. A twenty per cent deposit secures the date, and there is a travel fee for weddings outside Cairns. High resolution photographs arrive by online gallery no more than a month after the wedding, and she is taking bookings for 2026 and 2027.
Standout Feature
Her locations guide is unusually practical, setting out wedding venues region by region across Palm Cove, the northern beaches, Cairns city and Gordonvale, the Atherton Tablelands and Port Douglas. Prints and albums are ordered directly from the delivery gallery and produced by Atkins Pro.
