Mina von Feilitzsch Photography

I truly cannot say enough about Mina and her incredible talent. I just don't think there are actual words for it. To know her is a pleasure, but to work with her is an HONOR. We found her through our neighbors who are not only longtime friends of hers but also recently married clients of hers. When I saw their portraits, I immediately fell in love. And when I met Mina for the first time shortly after, I immediately knew she was the photographer for us. Her attention to detail and her kind, sweet and patient demeanor make her unlike any other person I've ever met - friend or colleague alike. Our wedding day was nothing short of eventful; it was long, and it was HOT - yet she was there, capturing every moment, for the entire day. And with a smile on her face, too! I've never heard so many compliments from my friends and family towards someone they don't even know! She is so personable that she really seems like she belongs anywhere she goes. Not once was she intrusive or demanding like some photographers can be; instead, she quietly observed everyone's every move and somehow captured all the right moments. When we first received the entirety of our wedding album, we were in absolute awe of her ability to portray others' emotions in a way that seems to reach through the picture and grab you, allowing you to feel the same emotions as were felt in that exact moment. She possesses a talent unlike anyone I've ever met and I am so, so grateful to have her work to cherish for a lifetime. It's been a little over three months since our wedding day and not a day goes by that I don't look at our album. The keepsake box is probably my favourite aspect of the whole experience. It's one thing to look at the photos, but to hold them in your hand makes them all the more meaningful! If you are in need of a photographer, please, please heed my advice: choose Mina. You will not be disappointed! I say "choose" and not "hire" as you will be gaining a lifelong friend and not just an event photographer. We love you, Mina, and are so proud to know you! xx The Fetches

Mina is the BEST. Let's start from the top. From the very first impression, I was attracted to Mina's energy and professionalism. She is very sincere and empathetic. I felt that she really listened to my wife and me when we were discussing the logistics of our wedding day. Going through Mina's portfolio, I could tell that she has a natural talent for photography. I really enjoyed how creative she could be with using the available props and background opportunities. Mina really helped us plan the pictures we wanted to take and captured some really magical moments. Mina communicates very well; she is prompt and professional. Her talent and kindness really are top of the line in this industry. I can't imagine having had anyone else capture our wedding day. Thank you Mina, for your thoughtfulness and hard work. We are proud to show our family and friends the moments you captured. We look at the pictures often and are very grateful for your hard work. Thank you!!!

The first time I tried to put our experience with Mina onto paper, it came out over 1,000 words - too long for this space, and it still didn't do her justice! Here is the short version: One decision you are sure to not regret on your wedding day? Hiring Mina von Feilitzsch as your photographer. An utter joy to work with, and always in the right place to capture those priceless moments at the wedding, her presence alone is enough to put you at ease. The icing on the cake? The photographs are outstanding. Our biggest problem when we got the album was narrowing them down to our favorites to hang on the wall! Mina is a brilliant photographer, a calming presence for the bride and groom, assertive when needed, never overbearing, and always a joy to work with. There’s plenty to worry about on your wedding day. Don’t worry about your photographer, hire Mina.

Mina describes her services as investing in your special day. This could not be any more true. What you get with Mina is truly an investment in a memory.  Whatever type of wedding, no matter how traditional or unique, Mina's photography creates images that look as beautiful as your brightest memories of the day, and captures the specific joy of your union. Mina's photography is warm, and personal- matching her demeanor and the extreme care she takes with your special day. Out of all the vendor decisions we had to make for our wedding, I am so grateful and extremely satisfied with placing our trust in her. The return has exceeded my expectations at every point. Please, do yourself a favor and invest in your memories with Mina.

Mina is the best! Her photographs speak for themselves and you could not ask for a better person to have on hand on your wedding day. She’s easy to communicate with and quickly responds to emails. Prior to our wedding she was readily available to answer any questions we had and she made sure that she had all the information she needed to ensure she captured everything that we wanted and stayed on schedule. From posed portraits to detail shots we were incredibly happy with her work. During portraits she guided us into a variety of poses that felt comfortable and natural. She easily corralled everyone we needed for group shots. Multiple family members have commented that she was able to get a shot of our giant family in half of the time photographers usually need. Throughout the ceremony and the reception Mina captured fantastic candid shots without ever being intrusive. She captured the energy and spirit of our wedding so well that looking through our photo gallery felt like we were reliving all of the fun of our wedding day. We were also extremely impressed with the detailed shots that Mina captured. She made sure to document all of the little touches that we had put so much time and love into. We cannot recommend Mina enough!

Mina was absolutely fantastic; she was, without hestiation, the best vendor that we had for our wedding day and throughout our engagement process. Mina not only produced stunning pictures, but her service and responsiveness is a MILLION times above the industry average. Mina would check in with us throughout our engagement process to see how we were doing and to see if we had any questions, and she was a very valuable resource even when we needed advice on other aspects of the wedding-she even sent us a Christmas present!! On the day of, Mina captured every shot that was important to us, and dozens of others that were so artsy and beautiful. Mina knew exactly what we wanted with our wedding photos through truly getting to know us as a couple. We are both amazed at the outstanding final product that Mina produced while being so discrete throughout most of the day-never in the way, but always taking any shot that we wanted. We would recommend Mina to anyone and we will (and already have) recommend her to everyone. Our breath was taken away by Mina von Feilitzsch Photography, and we are positive that yours will be as well! Thank you, Mina!!

I met Mina when I was at UVa and I have always been a fan of her work. When we were looking for photographers, Mina was on the top of our list. Mina is incredible to say the least. Our guests loved her, she made them all feel comfortable. She was on site for more than 12 hours and didn’t complain once when we were running way behind. She was extremely professional and friendly. I am in love with the photographers she has taken. Highly recommend booking her for your next big event.

I met Mina through a friend and I just so happened to be in the market for a wedding photographer. She could not have been more professional and understanding. Numerous wedding guests and friends have commented on how beautiful our wedding photos came out - and I give all credit to Mina. The quality of our photos, the books, and the cute box of prints was exactly what I wanted and my husband and I are thrilled that we have these memories for the rest of our lives. Thanks Mina!

We are so lucky to have had Mina as our wedding photographer! Her work is absolutely stunning. She captured our day from the beginning with the ladies/men getting ready through to the dancing. She did an amazing job of getting candid, as well as posed shots. Mina's work on the ceremony and reception was beautiful. Our whole event was outdoors with very limited lighting, but the pictures turned out perfect. And she was not intrusive at all, her and her second photographer took great care to ensure they were discreetly in the background. I loved our pictures of the decorations, flowers, food, table settings, and the other little things you plan so meticulously but don't actually get to see on your own wedding day. After getting our pictures, Mina put together a gorgeous, bound photo album for us that chronicalized our day. I cannot say enough about how impressed we are with Mina and her work. We highly recommend her without any hesitation!

Mina was amazing! We needed help last minute and she stepped up, worked with us on our budget needs and was very communicative throughout the entire process. During our wedding, she made sure to capture all the must-have moments and did a great job photographing the small details that made our wedding special to us. On top of it all, the pictures turned out great! Would highly recommend Mina!

Mina was a joy to work with. Throughout the process, she was professional, friendly, and had a calm, warm demeanor. Before the wedding, she asked great questions to really understand our style and preferences. During the event, Mina used her time wisely and positioned herself where she needed to be to get the best shots -- all while being discrete and courteous. My husband and I were thrilled with the results. Mina excelled at capturing the venue, ceremony, guest experience, and so many special moments and details of the day. I would recommend her enthusiastically to any couple planning their wedding!
