Monumental Arts - Fort Washington, Maryland

We had a great wedding experience with Monumental Arts, K Michael as our photographer! He knew just what to do and made us and both our families feel very comfortable the entire time. Very beautiful photos of us all! So many compliments! We had a small, brief, intimate ceremony which was captured very elegantly in our photos which we will cherish always. We had several revisions and “reschedules” of our plans leading up to our wedding day and K Michael was very understanding and professional throughout the changes. He responded promptly to all our emails/phone calls which was very comforting. Overall, truly can’t say enough— it was a very pleasant experience with Monumental Arts and we look forward to having some other opportunities to hire a professional photographer so we can have K Michael take our photos again. Wonderful experience— so thankful for our lovely priceless keepsakes!☺️

K Michael has been informative from the start so we could make decisions best suited for us and make our petite-wedding amazing and low-stress as possible.
Very professional & talented!
Thank you, K Michael.

I used Monumental Arts for my headshots, and I am so happy I did! If you're looking for a photographer who will take your headshot seriously and ensure it reflects who YOU are, you need K Michael at Monumental Arts!

What really stood out to me about Monumental Arts is that K Michael's portfolio captures the personality of the person. It's not just another head in a frame—it's telling you something about them.

Chris was prompt, responsive, and accommodating. I felt at ease immediately when working with K Michael. First, he provided guidelines for preparing for the photo shoot day (which were very helpful). Before the shoot, he walked me through the process and gave great instructions—he wanted it to be as comfortable as possible for me!

And let me tell you, the results were terrific. He gave me plenty of options and a ton of flexibility with the backgrounds and poses. It was much better than the standard one or two corporate poses. He was even accommodating with specialty edits.

When I got my photos back, I could tell he had taken his time to make sure they were perfect—and they absolutely were. Monumental Arts is truly a master at his craft, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants their pictures taken by someone who knows what they're doing!

Our wedding featured a small family gathering and a virtual stream. Kris expertly navigated our demands and necessities without hesitation or question. Incredibly easy to work with when we gave our suggestions, Kris also ensured he captured the important moments he hadn't even considered. About 30 minutes before our scheduled ceremony, we were hit with a torrential downpour, pun aside, Kris was truly our calm within the storm. We have so much praise and appreciation for Kris, thank you again.

I booked a “just a headshot” session and had backdrop editing added to a photo to match my employer’s request. (This isn’t included in the “just a head shot” session but was an added service.) There was always clear and concise communication to understand what I wanted, which is tremendously appreciated.

This is my first photo shoot as a young adult, and I was really unsure what to expect. However, after this session, I can definitely say the quality of work is unmatched and I will refer all of my friends.

Each pose was carefully explained and I was guided patiently throughout the entire session. I never felt rushed, uncomfortable, or unsure what I was doing. The photo editing turn around was very quick and quite frankly, after looking at the shoot photos, I feel beautiful. The editing is tasteful, and my features were accentuated in a way I don’t believe I’ve ever seen before. I look stunning, and feel beautiful.

I cannot recommend this company enough. Do not hesitate to book here.

Kris photographed our wedding and reception and created a lovely photographic record of our Catholic ceremony in a military setting and a joyous reception in a Christmas setting. He also captured this memorable celebration with our combined families of children and grandchildren. We cherish our beautiful wedding album and photos of the family group. Thank you, Kris, for a job done exceptionally well.
With much appreciation,
Jeanne and Tom

We had a wonderful experience with Monumental Arts. We used them for my daughters professional headshots for a major acting showcase. Kris was extremely professional and actually went out of his way to hand deliver our headshots as we were in crunch time between the Holidays and early January showcase!

I highly recommend Monumental Arts for your photography needs. Very professional and quick to respond on a short notice. I needed a headshot and was able to book an appointment the following day! Photoshoot was quick and efficient. Photos were edited and ready for download the same day as the shoot. Overall, I'm very happy with the services and the products.

Great job ! We are so happy . We truly appreciate the prompt , professional service. Being a first time customer, we were not too sure of what to expect. The photo session was actually not nerve racking at all. The photos were great & we got them on time.
