One of the most relaxing and accommodating companies to work with. They helped create a comfortable and stress free wedding environment. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a photographer for all stages of life. Super family friendly and helpful through the whole process.
Maurissa from Mind of Mo was so EASY to work with! I cannot begin to express my gratitude in how comfortable she made me feel and how she just brought my stress level down immediately. The pre planning ahead of time made a world of difference! We talked before the wedding and she was able to take all my stress and worry away. She told me she was coming the day before to make sure the weather didn't stop her. She was so over the top amazing and fun to work with! She went with the flow and captured moments that I didn't even know I needed...but so needed. She handled my big crazy family with professionalism and was flexible with our timeline when people didn't show up when they needed to. My sneak peek pictures came right away and they were more amazing than I ever imagined they could be! My pictures are timeless and breathtaking! I 100% recommend her for your wedding!
Maurissa is outgoing and friendly! She was responsive in communication in the beginning. Maurissa made sure everything was lined up, provided a timeline for all the vendors, made sure we got every "must have" photo. Maurissa also helped make sure we enjoyed OUR day. I was very worried about the timeline and being behind on everything but she made sure to remind me that there is no timeline and this was our special day so anything we wanted she would make happen and the guests would be okay entertaining themselves until we were ready! We loved the photos Maurissa took of us, but there was a bit of delay in getting them all.
Maurissa was incredible! She was so easy to work with, and was able to accommodate to all of our needs. From capturing must have photos to candid moments and even spurring up ideas to create more memories, she did it all! We can’t recommend her enough!! Maurissa, I hope you’re available for family photos in the future because I’ll be reaching back out in the future!
Maurissa was absolutely wonderful!! We didn’t know what to expect and we aren’t that comfortable in front of a camera but Mo made us feel at ease and became part of the wedding party very quickly - until she disappeared - like how did she take that?! . Lol photos are amazing and she’s incredible
Professional, helpful, great ideas
If you’re looking for a rockstar photographer to be part of your wedding vendor team, look no further! As DJs we love working with Mind of Mo, and Maurissa! A+ professionalism, communication, and focus on having clients wedding days be awesome!
Maurissa was fantastic! Before the wedding, she worked with my husband and I to understand our timeline and the memories we wanted to capture. During the big day, she was very professional and flexible. She helped maintain our schedule by communicating with other staff supporting the wedding to ensure all of our precious moments throughout the day were saved. We recommend Mind of Mo to anyone looking for a photographer! Maurissa is great at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Mo is not only someone that we would recommend for wedding photos. We would recommend them for all photos. If we take Christmas photos, family photos, or photos for fun we recommend them. They were excellent for engagement photos. The Photos from the wedding came out perfect. I love all of them. Not just the quality but the photographers were so nice and flexible. They knew exactly what to do and kept us on schedule. They were a huge help. Mind of Mo is the one you want for your wedding. I guarantee you will be happy with their service. They are our photographers for life.
The greatest thing that my husband and I did for our wedding day was working with Mind of Mo photography. Maurissa is absolutely phenomenal. Not only does she take fantastic pictures and has endless enthusiasm for her work but she really, truly cares about her clients. Leading up to our wedding day Maurissa took the time to meet with me in person to design a day of timeline and understand what I was wanting to capture in our wedding day photos. My husband and I are definitely not comfortable in front of camera, but Maurissa makes you feel like you have known her for forever which really put my husband and I at ease. She also not only acted as our photographer on the day of our wedding, but she also performed day of coordinator duties making sure everything was running smoothly as well as acting as my confidant. Even our wedding party was complementing her on the fact that she was so organized and willing to go above and beyond her photographer duties. I honestly could go on and on as to why you should have Maurissa as your wedding day photographer. Without her our day would not nearly have been as perfect as it was. So do yourself a favor and go with Mind of Mo photography for your wedding day. You will not regret it!!
Maurissa was absolutely a dream to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera on our big day! Our entire bridal party has mentioned to us that our photographers were so fun to work with and they made everyone feel so relaxed. On our wedding day she helped to keep us on time, was a liaison between us and our reception venue when we were running behind, and advocated for getting all of the shots that we wanted to get done. Our sneak peeks arrived a couple of weeks ago and both my husband and I are obsessed with them and we can't wait for all of our pictures to arrive! We will definitely be using them in the future if we want any more professional photos done. Can't recommend them enough!
Maurissa is amazing. She went far beyond all of my expectations on my wedding day and is incredibly easy to work with and so much fun to talk to. She is an absolutely incredible photographer; suggesting many ideas I hadn't thought of, finding the most perfect natural lighting (sunset is a must!), and being an advocate during dessert and dances to get the perfect photos. Our sneak peeks were sent within just a few days after the wedding and I am completely enamored with them. I cannot wait to see the beauty Maurissa captured in the rest of the photos and will 1000% be attempting to book with her again for family photos as well as recommending to anyone and everyone in need of an amazing photographer. I cannot give enough praise for Mind Of Mo!!
Maurissa was legit incredible to work with. She did an amazing job capturing our special day and is one of the sweetest, nicest, and most professional people I have ever had the pleasure of working with 11/10 and would hire again without a 2nd thought.
Maurissa and Sean helped us make our incredible wedding day happen seamlessly. They brought professionalism and their experience into our lives, had personal meetings before our event to clarify details, and made a real effort to get to know us before the day of our wedding.
We booked and shot an Engagement session about a year before the wedding, and had a great experience with Maurissa then, and after some additional meetings and conversation, we felt very comfortable and prepared for photography during the wedding day.
Maurissa brought a secondary photographer, at our request, to the wedding, and they split up to cover both sides of the wedding party, handle alternate angles during the ceremony time, capture both formal and staged photos as well as candid and spontaneous moments that just aren't all possible with a single person.
Our photographers brought their previous experience and personality to our day, and never felt commanding or controlling. They presented great insight and inspiration, a few must have shots of their suggestion, and were always prepared to pivot and listen to us and entertain any requests we made of them.
Maurissa and Sean shot our wedding on 2/11/2023 and we had a blast working with them. Both photographers were professional, a blast to work with, and went above and beyond during our wedding day. Leading up to our wedding, I had multiple planning meetings with Maurissa, where she went through every possible detail about our day, and she also shot our engagement photos (which we LOVE). During our wedding day, Maurissa and Sean made sure every moment was captured perfect. They also got along really well with our other vendors, which made everything so easy. We just got our sneak peaks back, and they were everything we could have wanted. We give Maurissa, Sean, and Mind of Mo Photography our highest recommendation and encourage anyone who wants to work with great people and get some incredible photos to hire them!
Maurissa is absolutely incredible and I will be recommending her to everyone I know. Not only was she incredibly personable and flexible throughout the entire process, but she went above and beyond the standard. Before our wedding, she helped us understand timing and the best way to craft our photography timeline. She was incredibly responsive and communicative. On the day of our wedding, She was able to work autonomously and did far more than was required. She learned our family members' names and helped everyone arrive where they needed to be. Most importantly, the photos she took are absolutely stunning. She completely understood the vibe that my husband and I were going for and we are beyond happy with our photos. I work in the event industry and know a good vendor when I meet one. I seriously cannot recommend Mind of Mo enough.
Got married November 2022, and even though Maurissa just had a child, she was still so responsive and helpful when it came to setting up a meeting to discuss and was great about rescheduling too.
The pictures she took were beautiful, she got so many beautiful pictures of the ceremony, from many angles (wide shots, great pictures of us at the altar, pictures of family). She captured the ceremony perfectly. She also got great first-look photos of both my husband and I, and knew so many great locations and poses around our venue. She also offered to help wrangle family for pictures and release tables for dinner too, which was amazing. She even got a great action-shot of me throwing my bouquet at my sister, which was awesome.
She was so great to work with, and went with the flow of what we wanted to do and had no issue taking both serious and goofy photos, and got pictures of all of our decorations as well (most being DIY-ed). She even took pictures of our board game table! Not something we were expecting, but I think it shows the dedication to capturing every moment of the wedding day, which we appreciate greatly. She also double-checked with us before she left that we got all the pictures we wanted, and was willing to stay longer if we did, which we also really appreciated.
Overall, I am so glad we went with Mind of Mo to capture our perfect day.
I want to say Maurissa was great to work with during our engagement session and with any questions that I had prior to the wedding. Sean and Megan were great to work with at our wedding and took some awesome photos. But dealing with trying to get my photos at after the wedding has been a nightmare and I wish it upon no one. I emailed Maurissa a few weeks after my wedding asking if she was doing sneak peeks like she did for our engagement session. She said she was skipping sneak peeks at the moment to get full albums out ASAP. She then said she would expect to have ours done and uploaded within the next week or so. I was aware that there is a 10 week turnaround but I followed up a month after her response just checking on the status. It was a bit disheartening and frustrating seeing her Facebook posts of edited photos from events that took place AFTER the date of my wedding. I also found a review posted from a bride who had a November 5th wedding who got her photos on November 10th. Due to the issues with the Pixeset emails/links I didn't get my pictures until after my 10 week turnaround when she emailed me the direct link. After I received my photos and reviewed them, there were still a good portion of my photos missing. We got that situated after numerous emails. But I still feel as if there are pictures missing and the photos provided are not an accurate representation of the full day. I feel like this end process was a bit unprofessional and stressful.
Mind of Mo saved our wedding day after our initial photographer fell through the week of! We are so appreciative and thankful for their ability to step in and show up for us. We would definitely recommend Mind of Mo to anyone looking for a reliable photography business that captures the days' memories beautifully!
Rafael was great to work with, he ran to day with my timeline. He has a great personality and answered all of my questions.
I’ve had good customer service in my time, sure. Hey, I’d even go as far as to say I’ve had absolutely excellent customer service on a couple occasions. Yet, nothing I’ve experienced compares to the love, passion, attention, charisma, servitude and flexibility of Maurissa as my wedding photographer. Not only was she a huge part in making the day even that much more special with her gorgeous photos that we’ll look back on for years to come, she brought a wonderful, effortless, and contagious enthusiasm with her wherever she went and with whomever she interacted with, unconditionally. My wife and I felt personally cared for in the best way. If you want to have someone photograph your wedding who will do nothing less than make your wedding day one of the most beautiful days of your life, wash away stress like the rain, and make you feel like your best friend is photographing your wedding: choose Maurissa from Mind of Mo Photography. You will be so happy you did.
Mind of Mo Photography is the best! We are so happy we went with them. They are professional, laid back, fun, honest, understanding, and all around amazing. We loved being able to work with Maurissa- she made us feel so comfortable when it came time to taking pictures. I hope to stick with Mind of Mo for all our picture taking needs, and will recommend them to anyone & everyone!
Maurissa goes so far above and beyond a typical photographer's duties to ensure your special day goes as planned. Photos went so smooth and all of the poses and locations were so well thought out. We would not have been able to envision our day with any other photographer. Highly recommend Mind of Mo!
We loved working with Maurissa! She knew what she was doing and gave us direction when needed which gave us confidence the pictures she took would be magnificent and the sneak peek confirmed this!! She is professional and so kind; her run down before our wedding helped layout exactly what we wanted/needed and made the day go so smoothly. Her expertise was such a comfort for us. Highly highly highly recommend :)
Highly recommend Mind of Mo Photography! Our photographers were amazing and made us feel comfortable at all times. Also they both knew how to have fun and helped us enjoy our special day!
Mind of Mo was AMAZING!!! They were easy to contact and work with all the way - even when we needed to postpone due to the pandemic. Our photographer, Maurissa, was more than we could have ever dreamed of! She knew precisely what to do and got through our shot list in record time. She was very helpful coming up with couple poses and fun ways to get our bridal party pics. She was essentially another 'day-off wedding coordinator' as well and was not shy about helping us round up people!
Truly, there's no other company or photographer we would have wanted to work with and we feel lucky and blessed to have gotten Mind of Mo and Maurissa to help us record our special day! We've already gotten back our preview photos and the timeline for getting all of them back is very quick. We got a link where we can download all the pictures, so we can print them or do whatever we'd like with them. We also got them in full color and in black and white so we can mix and match whatever we like best.
All in all, we would give Mind of Mo 10 out of 5 stars if we could!
AMAZING!! Maurissa was the absolute best! Her communication throughout the whole process was great! She found the best places around our venue to capture all the pictures we wanted. I feel like wedding pictures can get long and disorganized- not with Maurissa! She kept everyone and everything inline! It was such an organized and stress free experience! Exactly what you want on your wedding day! Such a talented photographer!!
Maurissa has been absolutely incredible to work with over the past few years. She has been through our crazy wedding journey with myself and my husband which consisted of reschedules, changed plans, and many uncertainties. Maurissa was always was an encouraging voice when we were holding our breath leading up to our event date.
I am so thankful for her and her team - Sean captured our wedding reception, and I would highly recommend him for your special day. He blended into our event and captured so many memories for us and was so patient, kind, and professional. Sean is an incredible human being in addition to having a keen eye for capturing special moments.
I feel very fortunate to have found Mind of Mo!
Maurissa and Sean couldn’t have been a more perfect pair for our wedding party and our families when it came to photos! They knew what they were doing and were efficient with time and well versed with helping us plan out the timing of our day to get the photos we wanted. It was the first wedding for both sides of the family for both my husband and I, so their guidance was so appreciated!
Also, as a side note- Maurissa was like a fairy godmother pulling bobby pins out of her fanny pack to help pin down my veil and any loose hairs I had. She was literally like a sister to me and I was so grateful for it!
Maurissa was the best photographer we could have asked for. She was willing to shoot at a last minute second location and she was fun. We will absolutely hire her for any pictures we plan on needing in the future from senior pictures to family photos.
You will not be disappointed in hiring Mind of Mo Photography for any event!
PHENOMENAL pictures. Easy to work with. Kind, creative, and professional. The most bang for your buck and they really go above and beyond to make the day go as smooth as possible.
Very easy to work with and got amazing pictures! Highly recommend!
It wasn't a shock to us that Maurissa and Blair gave us an amazing experience on our wedding day as this is my 3rd experience using Mind of Mo as a photographer! Maurissa is a strong communicator and took a TON of time making sure that my husband I had a perfect day. Not only did she respond to messages in the months leading up to the wedding, she spent HOURS meeting with us in person to ensure that we had a vision for the wedding day. Maurissa went above and beyond to make sure that we not only felt good about the photos but also with other aspects of the wedding (including helping us find last minute dishware!). Maurissa and Blair were our constant supports during one of busiest days of our lives. We can't wait to see the end results! Thanks times a million!
We had an extreme last minute change & this company became our photographer. Despite the extreme last minute, the photographer was so so friendly, super easy to work with, & so much fun! I’m so glad they were able to squeeze us in & take our photos. They’re beautiful & I’m so pleased with them & their services. I highly highly recommend them!
Maurissa and her team at Mind of Mo are amazing! We were referred to her by a friend that booked her. She is very professional and personable. She was able to work with us and find the moments and direct us so that we could have our personalities captured in our pictures!
My husband and I had a very small ceremony but we still wanted professional photos. Photography was actually the first thing we booked after the venue (should have been the hair stylist- but that’s a different review). We were beyond thrilled with Megan and Mind of Mo Photography. They travelled to our venue, which was about 20 miles outside the Twin Cities- they also go all over Minnesota, which is amazing! Megan was extremely responsive and supportive. I had no idea what I wanted, just what I didn’t want. Megan didn’t make me feel like I need to prepare any more than I already had and she took care of everything. She was punctual and even helped calm me down in the bathroom (mild hair meltdown). She took every photo that I wanted and got a lot of really unique photos that I wouldn’t have even known to ask for. My husband and I were so happy with our experience on our wedding day that we talked about having Megan come back for our anniversary- before she even left our wedding! Highly recommend this vendor!!
Mind of Mo perfectly captured our wedding day! Sean was a great photographer for the day. He gave us the wonderful candid moments we were looking for! Maurissa did a great job editing all of the photos too! Highly recommend these guys to anyone interested.
Maurissa was so wonderful to work with! she made use feel so comfortable while shooting our engagement photos and they turned out beautiful! On our wedding day she was able to handle directing all of our friends and family, which is quite the job! My husband has said that he loved having a photographer that also felt like a friend. We can't wait to see our sneak peak photos from our wedding day!
She did an amazing job! Even if we weren’t very organized she just blended right in and took amazing photos of everyone. Would definitely recommend!
Mind of Mo Photography was amazing, affordable, and willing to work with our specific needs in a crazy year! Their various packages are well-tailored to meet the price needs of a wide range of couples, and she made the whole process of photographs (in 100° heat!) feel painless and relaxed, which was exactly what a stressed-out bride like me needed on her wedding day. The photos are gorgeous and exactly what we were hoping for.
TLDR: If you want high-quality photos for a great price, Mind of Mo is a fantastic option!
Maurissa and Megan were both bomb! We got fantastic shots and Maurissa really knows her stuff! She is so amazing! Highly recommend and would use her again in a heartbeat!
We had the honor of working with Sean on our wedding day. He did such an amazing job of wrangling every group for pictures and keeping the energy positive the entire day. We even threw in several last minute pictures with our families and he didn't even hesitate to make it work. Everyone raved about what an amazing job he did days after our wedding! When first booking this studio for our wedding, Maurissa was incredibly responsive and very understanding when we needed to push our date back due to COVID. We would not hesitate to recommend this vendor for others as our experience could not have been better!
Beyond impressed with this team ! so professional and fun to work with !!! plus, the quality and creativity in our photos were perfect ! highly recommend for a small gathering or a larger wedding. we worked with Maurissa for our engagement and wedding photos and couldn't be happier 💓
I found Maurissa and Mind of Mo at a bridal fair in the very beginning stages of planning. From the get go I was so excited to work with her. Maurissa was unavailable for our date, but Morgan was available. About 3 months before the wedding it became obvious that we would have to rethink our day based on restrictions and generally feeling safe. Beyond my planners, Maurissa was so compassionate and understanding. She could tell how stressed I was with all of the changes, and remained dedicated to being a constant for me. She cares about the couples she works with so deeply. I was excited to have Morgan come out and shoot our day because I have no vision. The only important thing to me was to have memories of my favorite day captured. Not only was Morgan nice and personable, he went with the flow. He was ready to change things up when needed and still managed keep us on schedule. My sweet husband did not have many opinions about vendors or the process, but the entire day and after he has kept commenting on how great Morgan was and how nice it was to work with him. Having Morgan shooting our day will remain a positive memory of one of our best days. Whether you get to work with Maurissa or anyone at Mind of Mo, I can confirm you will be taken care of.
If you are looking for a fantastic photographer, Maurissa truly goes above and beyond! Maurissa and her team have been great to work with, they are so flexible and willing to work with whatever I needed- even if it wasn’t related to photography! She has a great attitude and is very pleasant, even guests and other vendors commented on how incredibly nice Maurissa was! I can almost guaranteed if you choose Maurissa and her team for your big day, photography will be the least of your worries!
Maurissa was nothing short of amazing to work with! We did our engagement photos with her and immediately know we wanted her to shoot our wedding as well! With COVID we had to reschedule our wedding 3 times and she was so nice through it all and very easy to work with! I HIGHLY recommend anyone to work with Maurissa! She made our wedding day photos so much fun and the sneak peek photos were amazing! We can't wait to see the rest!
Two things that caught my eye with Mind of Mo when searching for our photographer: affordable packages and no travel fee for our engagement shoot in Duluth. My husband and I had our first date on Duluth so wanted to take our engagement photos there, which we were easily able to figure out with Maurissa already being up there to shoot a wedding that weekend (fall 2019). Fast forward to 2020 when things got crazy. Maurissa was amazing with keeping my husband and I feeling confident that we would still have a photographer (Maurissa did our wedding photos in July, then Rafi did our reception photos in October). We had an abundance of compliments on Maurissa's exceptional service, courteousness, and timeliness. She loved all of our ideas of what we wanted in our wedding and making sure everyone was comfortable. She is a rockstar (seriously photographed our wedding while she was wearing a KNEE BRACE!!). I have no doubt we will work with her whenever we can in the future (she does mini sessions of all kinds and is starting to do boudoir shoots). I heard horror stories of photographers of other couples losing photos or never getting pictures back to them....NEVER did we once have to worry about that with Maurissa! She is on top of her "sneak peak photos" game, and even when life gets hectic for her she's honest and will let you know if she's running a little behind in the most apologetic way. she cares about EACH of her clients and we cannot thank her enough for all she's done for us. *I forgot to mention our wedding and reception were both in White Bear Lake.
Like so many others, the pandemic turned our wedding plans upside down and inside out. Mind of Mo Photography couldn't have been accommodating and flexible with us as we navigated rescheduling our wedding. We ultimately decided to have a small ceremony in July and a vow renewal next year, both of which Mind of Mo graciously said they said they would be happy to photograph as part of our original package. Our small ceremony took place in a park. Fate threw us one more curveball and sent a small rain shower to cap off an already very hot and humid day. Our photographer, Sean, was an absolute trooper! After the rain passed, he shot our ceremony and made quick work of our family photos afterward (we were very grateful because it's safe to say everybody was ready to find some air conditioning). Both of our families were impressed with his professionalism and positive attitude! Our experience with Mind of Mo was fantastic, and we can't wait for them to photograph our vow renewal ceremony next year!
Words just cannot express my gratitude to Maurissa at Mind of Mo Photography! She exceeded my expectations by miles and I am so grateful for not only the breathtaking pictures she produced but also all the little things she did above and beyond to help the day go smoothly and to put me at ease. She is so down to earth and personable! She really felt like part of the family! I now have a photographer for life! We love you Maurissa!!!
Where do I even begin! Maurissa, Allie, and Lyndsey were an absolute joy to work with! Not only did Allie do a great job with our engagement pictures, but Maurissa even helped with giving me her professional opinion on a lot of little details for our big day! Oh and can’t forget that Allie and Lyndsey were not only photographers, but basically personal attendants on our big day (even bringing a hangry bride lunch on their way to the venue!) Words can’t describe how blessed we feel to have had the Mind of Mo team in our corner for the most special day of our lives - thank you all so very much!!!
I cannot say enough great things about Maurissa and Mind of Mo! She (and assistant photographer Lyndsey) made our day so seamless! I can honestly say that Maurissa played a very large part in my ability to stay calm and enjoy the day without any stress! She is not only an AMAZING photographer, but she also took on the role of day-of coordinator, schedule-keeper, groom-babysitter, family-wrangler, and overall just a comfort to have around throughout the entire day! From her help in creating the entire timeline for the day, to making sure we got all of the photos we envisioned, to just being a supportive friend, she really went above and beyond what I expected of a wedding photographer. Not to mention, we got our sneak peeks back in 2 days and I am in AWE!!!! I highly highly recommend her and her crew!
I don't even know where to begin with singing the praises of Mind of Mo, and Maurissa in particular!
Short version: Mo and her team are AH-MAZING. They have skills out the wazoo, don't over-edit photos, and are generally enjoyable people to have around! 💯 out of 💯 - absolutely recommend!
Longer version: I'm not someone who enjoys having my photo taken - at ALL. Initially, I was absolutely dreading the photography portion of planning a wedding and getting married.... but then ✨we met Maurissa✨ at a wedding show!
The plan that we shared with her for our wedding was a little off the wall (🎃 Halloween, complete with costumes) and she was SO ENTHUSIASTICALLY on board to go right along with our brand of weird! Zero pushback or judgment - she was team "our plan" from the first moment!
Our engagement session was cut short by some ice... but we got 45 AMAZING photos in that first 10-15 minutes (and she wanted to keep going!) That's some superhuman stuff right there!
Fast forward to spring of 2020 and COVID throwing everything into absolute chaos in wedding world. 😖 Through all of the madness in readjusting our plans, Maurissa was incredibly understanding and kept us constantly in the loop.
Day-of, Maurissa showed up right on time and helped to keep the mood light (instead of letting me get stressed and worked up), captured all of the perfect moments, and was a great guest to have present and a spectacular part of our wedding crew who impressed everyone present with her professionalism and personality!
Our final pictures are all stunning, perfectly reflect our personalities and our day, and don't look at all forced, posed, or edited to the point where we don't recognize ourselves. All the praises go to Mind of Mo Photography!
I loved working with Maurissa and her assistant Morgan! They were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process from planning out our day to capturing many memories from our wedding day! Maurissa was everything a bride could ask for on her wedding day. She always had a plan for everything which made the day go so smoothly when you are flooding with so many emotions. As anyone would be after their wedding waiting to see our photos, she sent us sneak peeks within a day or two!!!!! The photos were all absolutely stunning, we loved every single one of them! Thank you again for the excellent experience working with you!!
Maurissa did an amazing job! She accommodated our last minute plans and was professional, responsive and easy to work with. We love our photos, as do our family and friends
We hired Mind of Mo Photography for our wedding and a year and a half later we had Maurissa take maternity photos for us. We are so pleased with the photos from both the wedding and maternity session and Maurissa, Sean and Morgan were all spectacular to work with. We could tell they really put thought into our day and made it all about us; it's evident they love what they do and are such a good support throughout the process. They helped us keep the day on track so we didn't have to worry about timelines at all. They were great to work with and I would recommend Mind of Mo to anyone looking for a personalized photography experience.
Maurissa was super professional and kept us on track all day long via the timeline we had made together a month before the wedding. Her personality was spot on and she jived so well with us, our family and friends throughout the day. We wouldn’t have hired anyone else to capture our day! Maurissa also did our engagement photos - which she let us do at the family cabin and farm. Enjoyed working with her!
Maurissa was absolutely fantastic! She helped to make sure our wedding day ran smoothly and made photos out in the cold, fun! She was the perfect balance of professional and personable; making sure we stayed on the timeline of photos throughout the day. She was super fun to work with and was up to try the ideas we had for photos that popped up during the day, and had her own amazing suggestions on where to shoot based on our venue. Would definitely recommend Mind of Mo for your wedding photo needs!
Mind of Mo was by far the best vendor we worked with throughout our entire wedding planning process. Sean was amazing and fun to work with and Marissa was always helpful and professional for more than just photography questions. The amount of compliments we got during the wedding and after about how amazing Sean and Ali were was amazing! You couldn't ask for a better photography team for your wedding!!!
Mind of Mo was wonderful to work with. Super helpful. We loved working with Morgan and Allie . We had a great experience!!! I would highly recommend Mind of Mo Photography for their wonderful service and beautiful photos!
Maurissa and Rafi are the best photographers you can ask for! You definitely get way more then someone that just takes pictures They made our day go by so smooth. Maurissa did our engagement pictures they turned out amazing and we had lots of fun and we got them back pretty fast. Maurissa was very helpful in the planning process even when it didnt have to do with photography. Lots of ideas and advice to give when needed. She was there everytime I needed her and always checked in since we had a long engagement. Her and Rafi really go above and beyond to help their couples. There were several runs to find where the boutonnieres were. They were both amazing with the young kids in the wedding party. The thing I'm thankful for the most is how on the day they ran everything by us and let it be our decision. They listened when we wanted a few minutes together and the were wonderful about letting our other vendors know our decisions. My biggest example was that we were ahead of schedule and everyone was wanting to move on to the next thing but Maurissa would find us and say hey what do you want to do. We could start dinner early or you can extend social hour. It was nice having someone that had our back and made us feel like we were important and not rush us so they could get out early. We had a lot of fun taking pictures. Rafi and Maurissa got there early so they could scout out perfect picture spots and check in with us. All in all Maurissa and her crew are fantastic to work with and I wish we could do it all over again. I can not thank them enough for everything they did to make our day so wonderful
