Mindy is a dream to work with. She really makes the whole process seamless. And seeing the photos she captured on my wedding made me so emotional. She is artistic and every moment that my husband I wanted was there for us to look again and again. You are amazing Mindy, thank you for all your services. Please consider her for your wedding or events, you will not be disappointed.

We are absolutely thrilled with our experience with Mindy as our wedding photographer! From the moment we met her, we knew we were in great hands. On our hectic wedding day, Mindy was not only incredibly helpful and kind but also a calming presence that allowed us to truly enjoy each moment.
She has a remarkable talent for capturing the emotions of our guests, and her ability to document the day beautifully exceeded our expectations. The photos turned out absolutely amazing—we couldn’t have asked for anything better! Each image perfectly reflects the love and joy of our special day.
Mindy was also impressively responsive throughout the entire process. We didn’t have to wait long to see our photos, and she provided them to us very quickly. It was such a nice surprise to see her sharing highlights of our wedding on her Instagram story, allowing us to relive those beautiful moments all over again.
If you’re searching for a wedding photographer, we highly recommend Mindy! Her talent, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients make her a standout choice. Thank you, Mindy, for capturing our day so perfectly!

What can't I say about Mindy?! My husband and I hired Mindy for our wedding in June and were completely blown away by her absolute talent, professionalism, and all-around vibes through the entire process. We are so lucky to have found her through the Knot and immediately fell in love with her unique style and quality of her photos. We set up a meeting to make sure it was a good fit and she aligned with our vision and we could not have gelled better. We felt completely understood and we picked up on each others energies from the get go. She was clear with all her communications, pricing, packages etc. throughout and we could not wait to work with her. We stayed in communication for a year leading up to the big day, and she helped guide us along the journey and offered up extremely helpful advice for timelines, suggestion of shots, etc. and checked in with us multiple times before the big day.
On the day, she arrived cheerful and on time - what a breath of fresh air to have in your presence on what could otherwise be a very stressful day. She made everyone around her feel at easy and not like they were performing. It all felt natural and effortless throughout - we only wish we could have celebrated with her more by the end, merely as a guest!
We could not have been more pleased with how the photos came out - we felt our essence and love was truly captured by Mindy in a way no one else could. She was able to capture such incredible memories that I will hold near and dear for the rest of my life. She made us look hot as hell - what more could you ask for?
I obviously can't recommend Mindy enough. I look forward to getting the opportunity to work with her again in the future - at any event I can.

Mindy is the best! She is so warm and friendly and immediately puts you at ease. We had the best time shooting and I didn't want it to end. She was so thoughtful about the shoot leading up to it and we felt like she really got our vision. We LOVE LOVE LOVE the photos we got from our engagement session, it's everything we wanted and more.

Mindy is an incredible photographer, after seeing her work from two of my friends weddings we chose our wedding date based on her availability. She is attentive and easy to communicate with, we already knew we loved her artistic eye and trusted her to take the reins. She did our engagement photos as well, and I can confidently say she always delivers on capturing love and connection, and I adore the warm and fuzzy editing she does.
We will be looking for an excuse to work with her again in the future!

Finding a photographer for my wedding was probably one of - if not THE most important thing to me and I am so grateful that I stumbled on Mindy’s Instagram. She’s so incredibly kind, supportive, and talented at what she does. Mindy took our engagement and wedding photos and the photos she takes capture so much more than I can explain in this review. She captures emotion, personality, love, and seemingly small but genuine moments that truly brought out the essence of our relationship with each other, our families, and the overall spirit of our wedding. There’s so much more I could say about her, but the work speaks for itself. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer and encourage you to fully trust in her creative process - you won’t be disappointed!

My wife and I are so grateful that Mindy shot our engagement and our wedding photos. She did an incredible job at capturing our personalities and love for each other, and every photo was beautiful and artful. Even more importantly, Mindy helped preserve our peace by allowing us to focus on each other rather than the schedule, adapting to last-minute changes and getting everything done on time. We give Mindy the highest recommendation, and we sincerely hope we get a chance to work with her again in the future.

I can’t say enough good things about Mindy and her work. We had the privilege of working with her for our wedding and the results are everything I had hoped for and more. Seeing our gallery brought me to tears, as she was able to capture the magic and beautiful detail of our wedding day. I couldn’t be more thankful to have had her as our photographer. There is no doubt, that she will be in our lives to capture the special moments to come in the future as a family. Thank you so much Mindy 💕

Hiring Mindy to be our photographer was the best choice we made for our wedding. I cannot express enough how lucky we were to have found her. Aside from also taking the most amazing photos, she’s so thorough and attentive both leading up to the event and on the actual day. On the day of your wedding, you really do spend the most time with the photographer (other than your significant other) and Mindy helps sooo much at putting you at ease, making things fun and making sure everything runs smoothly. She also helps create so many special moments to capture for you and your partner and really everyone involved. I cannot recommend her enough and am already looking forward to working with her for all our future big life events.

Mindy was absolutely incredible. She is so warm and able to capture moments effortlessly. Her communication with us was clear and simple and she really made us all feel at ease. My husband Anthony and I had an intimate dinner to celebrate the moments we missed in our pandemic wedding and Mindy really understood what we were going for and really understood us. I have had some good experience with other photographers, but Mindy just made us feel so taken care of. PLUS, she is an artist and her photos show it. You will not be disappointed working with her. Thank you again for everything, Mindy!

We found Mindy via a referral from a friend and she did an amazing job for us! She did our engagement shoot as well as our wedding and turned out astounding photos from both events. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was excellent at giving direction to us while also capturing spontaneous moments in real time. Mindy is a huge support during the biggest day of your life and she has fast turn around of her photos. We are so glad that she was a part of our day and really captured the memories for us! Thank you so much! -Jacob and Jillian

I cannot recommend Mindy higher for all your photography needs! She did our engagement photos and our whole wedding day. She is so easy to work with, and her pictures are incredible. I often find I hate pictures of myself these days, feeling like they always capture angles I never see and I don’t recognize or like myself. Mindy’s pictures capture ME. The way I see me, the way I think other people see me. I know it sounds cheesy, but somehow I swear she isn’t photographing just you, but your soul. She captures so much more than the surface somehow. She is able to see light and color in a way that makes me realize it’s an entirely different language. She can take what seems like a random convenient wall and turn it into the perfect backdrop. Her photo editing displays her mastery of the art of photography. Her pictures are precious keepsakes I feel so lucky to have been blessed with. She is worth every single penny and more. She will always be my first pick photographer moving forward. (Her maternity and family shoots are also incredible). A brief scroll on her Instagram and you will see what I mean!

Mindy is an absolute superstar! My wife and I did our engagement and wedding day shoots with her and could not be happier with the result. Mindy is a true professional. She does her research ahead of time and stays in constant communication with her clients. We aren’t comfortable on camera but within the first five minutes of our engagement shoot, Mindy made us feel comfortable and kept our focus exclusively on one another. She’s a fantastic collaborator and knew exactly how to turn our vision into her own. Mindy is friendly, fun, has a terrific eye with editing skills to match! The turnaround time for our engagement and wedding album was super quick! Her rates are super fair. For the cost, you couldn’t find a more talented professional. I cannot recommend her enough! Mindy is the best!

Mindy was phenomenal! She's super sweet and very professional. We could not have been any happier with our photos and our experience with her! My wife was stressed about not being happy with the photographer or photos, but Mindy took all of her stress away and left us with nothing but an unforgettable experience and high quality pictures.
We recommend her to all of our family and friends who are looking to get married.
Would recommend her service period.
