About LaCoursi Photography

capturing Authentic, Candid Midwest moments

LaCoursi Photography blends timeless portraits with candid, documentary-style photography to create images that feel genuine, beautiful, and true to you. My goal is to capture not only how your special moments looked, but how they felt — the laughter, the little in-between moments, and the people you love most.

When you book a session with LaCoursi Photography, you can expect a relaxed and comfortable experience with a mix of thoughtfully composed portraits and natural, candid moments. I want your photos to feel authentic rather than overly posed, allowing your personalities and relationships to shine through. I primarily work with natural light and beautiful surroundings — whether that's your wedding venue, your home, the outdoors, or a meaningful location — creating photographs with a timeless, true-to-life style.

Based in Northeast Wisconsin, LaCoursi Photography serves Appleton, the Fox Cities, Green Bay, Door County, Fond du Lac, Oshkosh and surrounding Wisconsin communities. I specialize in weddings, engagements, families, and milestone moments, and I’m willing to travel to wherever your love story has brought you.

Whether you're celebrating a wedding day, welcoming a new chapter, or simply documenting the people you love right now, LaCoursi Photography is here to preserve those moments in photographs you'll cherish for years to come.

Client Reviews

“Monica is wonderful! Very responsive and willing to work with you on getting the right package for you. The moments she captured were magical! The black and whites she snuck in every so often are STUNNING. She captured everything: the silly, the chill, the emotional, all of it. She's a great listener and excellent about capturing your vision. You'd be lucky to work with her.”

— Samantha

“Monica is awesome! She has passion and enthusiasm for photography and it shows! She is very responsive and accommodating. The pictures turned out so beautiful. Our photo session and the images we received are everything we could have asked for and more!”

— Alex

“Monica is absolutely amazing! She’s so sweet, attentive, down-to-earth, and has such a calming and warm energy. She was professional, had great communication, and on my big day quietly took care of things without me even realizing or having to worry. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer — she made the whole experience so stress-free and special. Highly recommend!”
