Marc & Mindy | Fine Art Photography

We wanted photos that would capture the energy, and excitement of us as a couple, but also be timeless with an artistic edge. From the moment we hired this team, they were super communicative and reminded us of upcoming events and deadlines. We worked with Mindy for our June 2021 engagement session and had an absolute blast being photographed by her. She made us feel completely at ease, and she directed us in a way that photographed beautifully while remaining true to who we were. When we saw our engagement photos, we were blown away. We got to work with both Marc & Mindy for our September 2021 wedding. Prior to the date, Mindy reached out asking for our other vendors to make introductions and connections. That helped coordinate the day of timeline to ensure everything ran smoothly. Mindy also asked for a detailed list of photographs we wanted to make sure were taken, this was such an essential part of the day. When the wedding day came, we were relaxed and confident that Marc & Mindy would keep the day on schedule. Our bridal party had so much fun taking group pictures with them! Mindy beautifully navigated the task of directing our large families for portraits, it was a seamless process! Everyone felt confident and comfortable in front of the camera, us included! They captured the big moments of the day, but also so many small and candid moments. Our photos were absolutely breathtaking! We saw the joy, laughter and love captured perfectly, and we were overjoyed with the sheer amount of photos we received. Knowing that all photos were edited in house meant even more, the vision of the photographers was clearly evident in the final photographs. We wholeheartedly recommend Marc & Mindy as your wedding day photographers. Not only are they high quality professionals with an artistic eye, they are also remarkably kind and thoughtful individuals who were an absolute dream to work with. We consider them friends, and cannot wait to take more photos with them as our lives continue on.

ly couple. Mindy is incredibly organized. She walked us through filling out surveys and questionnaires to ensure she understood what we wanted, setting up our day of timeline, and creating a detailed shot list. All of this helped our day run so smoothly. Both Marc and Mindy made us feel so comfortable when taking pictures, from our engagement session to the day of our wedding. Our families felt at ease while taking photos, and our wedding party had a great time posing for photos. After making sure the entire process of photographing our wedding was enjoyable, Marc & Mindy then delivered wedding photos that are absolutely stunning. They captured every shot we wanted and then some, allowing us to look back and happily relive our wedding day whenever we look at the photos. Mindy was incredibly patient while helping me design my wedding album, too. Through each round of revisions, she was able to make all of my requests happen, and our wedding album is truly more perfect than we could have imagined. Overall, Marc & Mindy are kind, knowledgeable professionals who make it abundantly clear that they are committed to helping their couples' wedding days run smoothly and be captured perfectly. I truly cannot recommend Marc & Mindy enough.

ith. She made it such a fun experience for us. Mindy went above and beyond by making a timeline for our wedding day, and emailing all of our other vendors so everyone was on the same page. Our wedding pictures were AMAZING!! They did such an awesome job. We have all the shots that we wanted plus so many more. I cannot thank Marc and Mindy enough!!!

ent in the amazing photos they captured! Their clear communication before and leading up to the wedding put us at ease during the planning process and throughout the big day. Mindy was prepared with helpful surveys and questionnaires to both get to know us better and to ensure we had everything covered regarding who and what we wanted photographed. Our big families and 20+ person bridal party could've been a daunting task but Marc & Mindy made it look easy. We echo the many compliments we received all day from friends and family about how amazing she was to work with. Our brother-in-law even said he wished he could get married again so Marc & Mindy could take their photos! The biggest crowd pleaser was a slideshow of photos taken throughout the day displayed for guests to view during our cocktail hour! Their hard work, eye for detail, and talent provided us with so many images that perfectly capture the joy we felt during our wedding! We feel so fortunate to have such wonderful photos to look back on for years to come!

lessly through all the craziness. Even when a protest threatened to derail our photo schedule, they quickly jumped into action (and into the middle of State Street) to get some of our favorite shots of the day and get us to the venue on time! To top off our experience with Marc & Mindy, we got to see a preview of our wedding photos during the celebration! It was such a magical moment to share those photos with our family and friends right away. Without a doubt, would highly recommend Marc & Mindy!

ad a lot of architecture that could have made cool photos and I would have liked to do those pics. However, I realize we were running out of time and guests started showing up. Overall, we highly recommend Marc and Mindy. They are the best!

so helpful. Our engagement session was a blast to take these two love birds to our dairy farm and give them a tour of the cows and farm land. They got right in there and weren’t afraid to take on a new environment. Lol our wedding day was such a picture perfect day. Mindy’s eye to catch the perfect natural lighting was definitely seen in the pictures. Absolutely spot on. How they both captured precious moments amongst the many family and friends on our day was fabulous. Definitely recommend this team.

ss, and I never felt stressed when navigating postponing with them. From our first initial consult to delivering our photos, Mindy was easy to communicate with and extremely organized. She was able to direct our large 23 person bridal party easily and made adjustments throughout the day to make everything run smoothly. Even with a thunderstorm right before our ceremony, Mindy and Marc were cool, calm, and collected, and I really felt like I could trust them to make sure everything went ok. Our pictures turned out amazing, and so many friends and family have commented on how good of job Marc and Mindy did. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone! I'm so happy we chose Marc and Mindy to photograph our wedding :).

o get to know us prior to our wedding day so she could capture not just beautiful photos, but photos that represented us. She even went above and beyond when I had to scramble to look for a new make up artist, I emailed her and within a few hours I had a list of 10 people to contact. She created a very detailed timeline for our "tour of Chicago" photos that was very helpful in keeping us on time and was willing to go the distance for the perfect shot. We loved working with Mindy, she made us feel very comfortable throughout the day and got two camera shy people to enjoy getting their picture taken! We're very excited to see the final photos and based on our sneak peak, we know they're going to be great, as with just a few pictures we can see Mindy's talent with light and for capturing special moments shine through.

r wedding day so well! I have been to many weddings in the past where it seemed like the photographers were distracting and always in the way but that wasn’t the case with them at all. Marc and Mindy were very respectful and truly a joy to have with us at our wedding. Their communication with us before, during and after the wedding was great and they were always so helpful. If you’re looking for an amazing wedding photographer, Marc and Mindy will not disappoint!

ey have family at no expense to capture weddings. My now husband and I actually went to Chicago for our engagement pictures and the weather was terrible! It was freezing, WINDY, and raining/sleeting. It felt like pelts of glass hitting you in the face. Mindy suggested finding somewhere inside for pictures, but I was set on having pictures on the beach since our wedding was going to be beach themed. She didn’t complain once! She went with the flow and made the best of it, even though she didn’t recommend it. What I thought was going to be a total loss and waste of time (per my own fault), we got a handful of great pictures from! I was so surprised. Mindy even loaned me her lens wipe to clean off the rain/sleet from my glasses. We love Mindy and she is great with working with you to get you familiar with the camera for the big day. Fast forward 1 year and here comes the wedding day on 10/10/2020. They sent a gift card to use the week prior for a date to destress from wedding stuff which was so sweet. Their work was amazing! The pictures are very high quality and you can tell they take pride in what they do. The only thing I found was that their prices are on the higher end of the market in Dubuque are, but they are also trying to keep up with the market in Chicago area where they are based.

and proves their talent. Not only did they take our every requested photo, Marc & Mindy made us feel comfortable and beautiful literally the entire time; they even made it fun for us, too! So, long story short: There is really no match for this kind, vibrant, and gifted photography duo on your wedding day, so stop looking and pick them now. You will be thrilled that you did :)

ss versus trendy editing. Clean and timeless are exactly what we got!! Mindy is very organized and she helped coordinate the big day with the other vendors, which was extremely helpful in the week leading up to the wedding. At one point the day before the wedding, I realized I had not yet touched base with the videographer during wedding week - putting me into panic mode. When I reached out to him he let me know Mindy had already coordinated the entire day with him from addresses, to timing, etc. I cannot describe how much of a relief that was as a bride. Marc and Mindy truly have a great eye - some of our favorites are the candid, fun photos as well as the intimate shots of my husband and me. Another perk of hiring Marc and Mindy (which I understand is not applicable to all wedding ceremonies) is they are very familiar with the Catholic Mass. This was important for us to make sure our photographers were familiar with the order of events and photography "rules" during a Mass. We are very happy with our wedding photos as well as the their intangible qualities such as organization and helpfulness. Thank you, Marc and Mindy!

ble to take both great looking posed pictures as well as candid pictures. One of the best resources they provided was ample notifications and what to expect before each session and communicating very well about what we should do to prepare.

wedding as well. They were both extremely professional, organized, and fun to work with. We also are very, very happy with how all of the pictures turned out!

rk with and were extremely accommodating. Our wedding was impacted by COVID-19 and we went from over 250 guests to just 20; but Marc and Mindy made the trek to Michigan just for us anyway. They scouted out the area and even reached out to other photographers in the area to find the perfect spot for our first look. They aren't just "photographers", Marc and Mindy are the type of people you want to keep in your life just because they are good people. We cannot wait until next year for our big celebration post-COVID and you better believe Marc and Mindy will be there too!

nd Mindy, seeing their portfolio, and talking with Mindy, I knew they were the ones I wanted to capture our day. I don’t live locally, so Mindy was even so kind as to meet with my mom to talk about their services and show her options for the post-wedding album that they will put together for us. Unfortunately, our wedding was impacted by COVID-19 and our plans wedding changed greatly, but Marc and Mindy were so supportive throughout the process and made the plan alterations absolutely seamless. Mindy focuses not only on the photography aspect, but the day as a whole, too. She communicates with all the vendors, makes sure the wedding party is ready on time, helps shuttle flowers, etc. Our pictures from “Part 1” turned out better than I could have imagined and we can’t wait to use Marc and Mindy again for “Part 2” post-COVID!

r in a different location. From the initial call with Mindy, we knew this was the person we wanted to be there during the pandemic. Mindy was very understanding of all of the things we had going on and the difficulties we were facing nailing down details. Mindy was understanding and flexible to all things that kept changing. The day of - Mindy was fantastic! She blended perfectly into the background, which is a feat given there were only 9 people at our ceremony! She captured all of our “must have” shots without having us only focus on taking photos. Mindy made us feel extremely comfortable even though neither of us had ever met her in person. The photographs we were received were great! The candid photographs taken are our favorites! Mindy captured the small in between moments that are so often missed. The photos are light and airy and just the style we love. Photography for our small ceremony was the only thing not stressful about getting married during the pandemic. We would definitely work with Marc and Mindy in the future.

wedding day and Mindy made me much calmer while managing to get all the pictures I wanted with the time we had left! My husband also had a ton of great pictures getting ready with Marc’s help. They truly helped make the day run as smoothly as possible plus we had so much fun with them on the photoshoot. All the pictures were perfect it was almost impossible to choose a favorite and they delivered it in the time they promised. I cannot recommend them enough!

g photos look AMAZING. Every special moment was captured, and we cannot wait to look back on our photographs for years to come!

wonderfully and made picture-taking very easy for our group. We were happily surprised with a sneak peek slideshow playing during the reception and received great feedback from our guests about it , too! Thank you, again, Mindy and Marc for capturing our special day!

e even took photos of our 12-year-old lab. I have taken thousands of pictures of her over the years. As soon as I pull my camera out she puts her head down. I guess she is a little camera shy, but Mindy capture several wonderful photos of her. I too am a little uncomfortable getting my picture taken, but Marc and Mindy put me at ease. They both had a way of posing us to make the most of each picture. They also took many live action shots, which caught many of the intimate and personal moments of our wedding. I was initially uncomfortable with the price of photographers, but after see the quality and unexpected quantity of photos it was worth the money. The wedding day was such a whirlwind that it was had to take it all in. Luckily, Marc and Mindy seemed to capture every moment of the day and my wife and I will always be able to relive our wedding through their photographs.

o comfortable. Mindy always made sure to follow up before to make sure that everything would go as smooth as possible. If I ever emailed questions, I always received a quick response with answers. They sent a sneak peak and WOW! is all I can say. I cannot wait to see the rest. 10/10 recommend!

lly try to understand you as a couple. Would highly recommend this team to any bride and groom looking for a photographer on their wedding day!
