Firstly, stop looking for any other photographers. Seriously, just delete anyone else had in mind from your phone......

Ok, now that that’s done, let’s move onto the review.
My wife and I had the pleasure of having Mindy being our wedding photographer back in September.
There are many things that stood out about Mindy, other than her marvelous photos. The one thing that’s the most glaring is that Mindy will be your long lost friend by the end of the Wedding night. She just has this personality that is contagious. You'll have this urge to want hang out with her after the wedding is over and put her in your contacts list. She's super fun. And that’s so important for your wedding day. Trust me on this one. You have to be around your photographer ALL day! Do you really want to be around someone you dislike just cause they take great photos? I think knot ( yes, that was on purpose ).
On top of that the photos are absolute stunning. I can’t tell you how many people told us our weddding pictures are the best wedding pics they’ve ever seen.
So to top it all off, don’t wait any longer. Give Mindy a call now before someone else steals her away from your wedding date. You won't regret it.
Mindy Sue artfully captured so many beautiful moments throughout our wedding day. Not only will we look back upon our photos with happiness and love, we will always recall how Mindy Sue helped make the day fluid and joyful; she is a truly wonderful person to be around and an absolute professional. Should you choose Mindy Sue to join you on your wedding day, you will be blessed with photos that will always make you smile and little memories that made your day that much better.
From the beginning of planning my wedding, the number one most important thing for me was hiring the right photographer. I wanted someone who could truly capture the love my husband and I felt for each other. As I went through Mindy's stunning portfolio, I knew I wanted her for our wedding. For our engagement pictures, she made us feel completely comfortable and we received an insane number of compliments for how lovely they turned out. For the wedding, she kept us on track and worked so well with our wedding party. I honestly cannot be happier with how they turned out. I would HIGHLY recommend Mindy to anyone in search of a wedding photographer who, through photos, will turn your love story into a fairytale.
Have you ever met someone who somehow immediately takes a weight off your shoulders? That is Mindy. I was planning our wedding from out of state, in the middle of taking a new job that had me traveling quite a bit, and in a period of 8 months. I had seen photos from a wedding Mindy did a few years back and had thought how beautiful and natural they were at the time so I knew I was hoping she was available. When we found out she was we booked her immediately, having no idea that not only would we be getting amazing pictures but that we would get to work with someone who truly made our day easy and fun. At our engagement session, we could not have been more awkward and Mindy had us cracking up in the first few minutes. She told us what to do, put us both at ease and the resulting pictures were incredible. The day of the wedding I was so flustered and stressed. I am used to being the person organizing things and helping coordinate everyone but this was the day I couldn’t do that and had too much to do on my own to focus on making sure everyone else had what they needed! Mindy walks in, takes one look at me, and says girl you need to relax She had me laughing all morning and slowly I started to chill out. Even beyond that, she made sure everyone was moving things along keeping an eye on the time and just got stuff done – we would have missed so many pictures if she wasn’t thinking ahead for us and making things happen. You need that kind of person on your wedding day, someone who can do the thinking for you and who is always one step ahead capturing incredible moments! Did I mention she also made sure that I actually got a plate of cake?
I was not the only one who felt this way. Everyone at the wedding loved Mindy because she made what can be a long day of coordinating family for pictures an absolute blast. She was all energy from start to finish and made sure that before she left at the end of the day there weren’t any other last pictures we wanted to capture – she stayed an extra hour unexpectedly for us to finish some up. We are so grateful and feel so lucky to have worked with Mindy – she managed to create in photos every memory we would want to relive. Now, time to go review our beautiful wedding album for the 100th time!
My husband and I were dreading taking pictures for our wedding and engagement. We both are awkward and hate being in the spot light. When we had our initial consultation with Mindy we knew immediately we wanted her as our photographer for our wedding and engagement pictures. She was fun, warm and inviting. I was not expecting the process of engagement pictures to be fun but my husband and I had a blast with Mindy. She made everything relaxed and we felt like we could be ourselves around her. Of course our engagement pictures were gorgeous. I had a vision that our engagement pictures would highlight nature and our love and this is exactly what Mindy did. Then our wedding day came along. What I admired about Mindy is her ability to manage the wedding party lol. She was fun but kept us all on schedule. The wedding pictures were simply beautiful. She was able to capture all of our beautiful moments. Multiple people have shared with me they thought her work was very artistic and original. I highly recommend booking Mindy for your engagement and wedding pictures!
Mindy shot the wedding of my son recently and I must say it was a wonderful experience! She had everyone so relaxed and having such a good time we didn't even realize she was taking pictures! Nothing seemed unnatural, rather it was so candid and authentic. Mindy was able to capture each moment almost by magic! I can not recommend her any more highly! We have already reserved her for the christening of our next grandchild!
Finding a talented photographer was one the most important decisions in our wedding planning process. We wanted someone that would capture not only the moments but also our love for each other and Mindy did!! When we look back at our beautiful photos in the years to come we will always treasure them . Thank you Mindy ! Hoping to have family photos done in the future too ! -Erin & Chad Todaro
have our treasured
Mindy’s work is absolutely flawless and we are so overly in love with the moments she captured! She captures the most intimate moments and was able to capture every small detail of our surroundings. She captured the moments we will never ever forget! We couldn’t be more grateful!
First things first: I hired Mindy for our wedding ceremony in September because I fell in love with her photos after viewing her portfolio (if you haven't taken a look yet, I highly urge you do so). Mindy's photos look so natural and gorgeous, and when you look at her photographs of couples you can tell that they feel comfortable and with her, there's no awkwardness.
I am so glad we went with Mindy, and I really don't think I can adequately describe how pivotal her presence was for our wedding and how much we enjoyed having her as our photographer. The day of the wedding, Mindy went above and beyond her call of duty. I had a rustic barn wedding, and I didn't have a wedding planner or day of coordinator. Mindy was able to keep us on track the entire day and made sure that we got the shots that we wanted. Although we were running behind in the morning, Mindy was able to get a first look photo shoot for us, something I am forever grateful for especially after getting the photos back, squeezed in our sunset photos, and she also somehow managed to wrangle our large, rowdy wedding party together for group photos while still being professional. At the end of the night, she even helped us clean up (Which just goes to show what a wonderful person she is)! I highly recommend booking Mindy if you want a stress free wedding, someone to anchor you during the chaos of the day, and if you need some backup to keep things going; you won't regret it!
Addendum: After receiving the photos, I've got to say that they're just gorgeous; the coloring, the moments that she captured, and the way she captured them are just beautiful.
Mindy is a amazing photographer! despite the wind on our wedding day, she did perfect! I would highly recommend her to any one.
Mindy is AMAZING...
My husband and I are definitely not the "formal photo shoot" type of couple... the sheer thought of it made us uncomfortable... but Mindy made it 100% painless.
She kept us and our wedding party laughing the entire time, which not only made the situation easy, but also made the photos look amazing... such natural smiles!!
We told Mindy we didn't want to spend a ton of time taking pictures, and she still managed to get so many amazing shots in such a short amount of time.
Hire Mindy... I 100% guarantee she can give you what you want!!
When planning our wedding, Josh and I decided that one of the most important things to us was the photographer. We came across Mindy, met with her, and knew we absolutely needed her to be our photographer. She did our engagement pictures, which were stunning. On 9/2/17, she photographed our wedding and we could not be more happy with the experience! She was AMAZING at coordinating our day and being flexible! Mindy had advice that was so incredibly useful and I felt so confident having her catching all of our special moments! Her bubbly personality kept us happy and laughing all day! I loved having her as our photographer for a few different reasons: her work is spectacular, she's super knowledgeable and knows what she wants, she does anything to make a shot work, and she's honest. If I had to do all of it over again, I would absolutely choose Mindy again, over and over. Mindy, you did a fabulous job! Thank you for helping make mine and Josh's big day so perfect!
I met Mindy Sue when she photographed my best friend's wedding. She was FANTASTIC, and when I got engaged, she was the first person that I called. She is great at what she does, personable and FUN. She made our day better than I could have imagined. We had a large wedding party which could have been very stressful, but she took charge, kept us on track and organized. All the while having a great time. Not to mention, her pictures are beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend her to all of my friends.
Mindy is the BEST! Mindy was our photographer for our wedding and she absolutely killed it the entire day. My wife and I are so happy with the way she directed the picture taking for the day and of course we are THRILLED with the photos. We honestly believe our wedding wouldn't have been the same without her. 100% would recommend her to anyone!
Mindy is a gem! Even my family and guests were in love with her kindness and spunk - most importantly, she was an amazing photographer for our wedding. Mindy works quickly to understand her setting and the couple she is shooting to produce pictures that truly capture the spirit of the event, and most importantly, the essence of the couple. My husband is a little camera-shy, and I was a bundle of emotions on our wedding day, but Mindy made "us" feel like "us", and truly, brilliantly captured our wedding.
Working with Mindy was absolutely the best. Throughout the wedding planning process you have to make countless decisions that are stressful and annoying, but choosing Mindy was the easiest and most pleasant by far. Not only is her portfolio beautiful, but from the very first phone call I had with her I knew she'd compliment the day perfectly. Her ability to stay upbeat but yet also laidback when I was stressed kept me calm and in the moment. Her ability to rally a large and difficult wedding party was also impressive to say the least. Most importantly, it felt like I had another friend with me throughout the day. The pictures she captured were beautiful and we got them in record time (a month post wedding). We are so grateful to Mindy and the memories she captured for us on our wedding!!!
Mindy was wonderful to work with, especially given the windy conditions! With the distance we were only able to meet and speak a couple days before the wedding but Mindy was more than willing to accommodate my requests and created many beautiful shots of our wedding day and reception that we will cherish, display, and show off for many years to come.
Mindy is absolutely AMAZING to work with! She is so caring, thoughtful, funny and has such a calming presence. For anyone looking for a photographer, please stop your search and book Mindy. You will not be disappointed!
Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Mindy was so professional and accommodating. She completely understood how nervous I was to be in front of a crowd during the ceremony and recommended that we do a "first-look" to calm my nerves. I am so happy we did. My husband and I are both camera shy but Mindy made us feel so comfortable that we actually enjoyed taking photos for the first time ever. She went above and beyond to ease any worries and the day would honestly not have been the same without her. I cannot say enough good things about Mindy and the way she works!
Mindy was an amazing photographer. Not only were the pictures beautiful, she helped my husband and myself to feel confident. I feel like she captured all of the most beautiful moments of my wedding day.
What an amazing experience from start to finish! We are about 10 months married and I still look back on one of Mindy's amazing photos almost daily because they take me right back to that day and make me so happy. Mindy's gorgeous photography aesthetic was exactly what I was looking for and her personality was just an added bonus - she made us comfortable, she made us laugh and she even stood on a VERY scary ledge on our wedding day to get a perfect group shot :) Mindy captured true, real moments in our day and those are the photos I love the most - the look my parents exchanged when we said I Do, our quick kiss outside the church with no one else around... the unplanned photos that only an amazing photographer can really capture. Mindy goes with the flow and makes things happen along the way... with a Cleveland wedding in November we didn't rely on outside photos and thus did not plan for these but when the day came and it was gorgeous...Mindy sprung into action getting amazing shots of us and our group outside! Again, these are my favorites and they were made possible by Mindy going above and beyond our set plans. Mindy's creative touch is evident in every part of the process - from the beginning questionnaire to the gorgeous photo albums and USB drive. Our photographs are an absolute treasure and we couldn't have imagined a better photographer for us , thank you thank you!!

Mindy Sue was absolutely amazing and I'd hire her again and again. Everyone who looks at our photos comments on her artistic eye and unique photojournalistic style (her black & white photos are to die for too)! I liked how Mindy took charge of the day and ensured we stayed on track and captured all of the photos I wanted in a timely manner so I felt like I was able to still enjoy my day without having to worry we weren't making use of our time with her. She also had a great personality so everyone in the bridal party was comfortable around her.
We had the pleasure of working with Mindy for our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Planning a wedding in Ohio while living in Las Vegas was stressful especially not being able to meet our vendors in person before booking them! I had spoken to a few photographers and was not impressed until I spoke with Mindy on the phone. She was so easy to talk to and I had a gut feeling she was the photographer for us! She was very flexible and met with us one of the few days we visited Cleveland last summer for our engagement photos. We were so happy with those photos and couldn't wait to work with her again at our wedding! We just got our wedding photos today and I don't think our day could have been captured more perfectly. Mindy is very professional and everyone at our wedding loved her! I would highly reccommend her to anyone looking to have someone who is amazing at her job and very easy to work with. I hope we can work with Mindy again in the future when we start a family!
I cannot stress enough how AMAZING Mindy was for our wedding. First of all, it was really important to me and my husband that we get engagement pictures in Columbus. Mindy was very accommodating and the pictures came out beautifully. She really captured exactly what we wanted and helped us (especially me) be more comfortable in front of the camera on the big day. On the day itself, she did such a great job of wrangling our large bridal party and making the picture-taking part of the event so much fun! She is not only an inspirational photographer, but an inspirational person whose passion for her job shines through in everything she does (even her bubbly emails!). I guarantee you will have no regrets if you hire her!!
I had to pleasure of meeting Mindy at a family surprise birthday party and have hired her to take pictures of each of our children after they were born and on our Wedding Day. She has a special talent to capture very beautiful moments and the Grit when needed to shoo off photo bombers too. There is no need for stiff photos because Mindy knows how to capture the moment as it's happening. Thank You Mindy for capturing such wonderful memories for us!
Mindy Sue is an absolute pleasure to work with! From the moment my now husband and I talked to her on the phone we knew she was the perfect photographer for our special day. We had some specific requests that she worked into our budget and it couldn't have been more smooth. Not only is she so great to work with, but our pictures were even better than we ever imagined. Every single moment was captured that we wanted and the art to her work is unbelievable. Every wedding that she does is different and is displayed in her artistic ability to see things others can't. She will make sure that you are taken care of on your wedding day and that you have nothing to worry about. It's a great relief. Our wedding day wouldn't have been what it was without Mindy Sue! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!
From the engagement photo shoot to the wedding day, Mindy was 100% awesome. She is professional, efficient, and above all, calm and caring. She took time to get to know us as people and as a couple, which made our time with Mindy fun and easy. The images she captures are so creative and beautiful. I appreciate having engagement and wedding photos that are different from every other "typical" wedding album, but that are also elegant and reflective of my husband and I. You will not regret choosing Mindy Sue Photography.
Mindy Sue is a diamond in the rough. Of all the photographers we looked into, we couldn't believe Mindy was still available for our date! We were sold on her whimsical style and romantic portraiture alone-- her photos look like something out of a fairy tale--- very ideal for a wedding photog. No other photographer came close to her style that we could find.
From the moment we first started working with Mindy at our engagement session, we were blown away not only by her professionalism and can-do attitude, but notably by her process. She knew exactly what she wanted and how to execute the perfect shot...getting us camera shy individuals to express the right emotions at the right time. We were very comfortable with Mindy from the start.
When it came to wedding day, Mindy stepped it up into high gear, easily taking charge and helping us move the day along. She's not only a photographer, but a built in wedding planner too! She kept us in check-- making sure we were meeting our timeline, pushing us forward so we were where we needed to be when, and helping us corral all necessary parties throughout the whole day. She was our rock. The day went wayyyy more smoothly with Mindy around and we truly got way more for our hire than just a photographer.
Ultimately Mindy is a stellar photographer-- she knows what to anticipate, how to manage groups efficiently, what encouraging things to say to get the emotion in the shot, and recognizes the importance in capturing every moment you deem necessary.
We were truly sad to see her go at the end of the night. It felt like we had gained a new friend.
Highly recommend!
From my first conversation with Mindy Sue -- I had a great feeling about her. She was authentic, down to earth, friendly, and she made me feel confident that she was listening and would deliver what we wanted in our wedding photos.
She was organized, proactive, timely -- which meant the world to us as we planned and prepared for our big day.
The day of the wedding, she arrived early and got going. She takes her job very seriously, but really added an element of fun to our wedding day. She followed all our instructions to the detail, and handled situations we hadn't discussed gracefully. We were not excited about taking time away from the party to take wedding portraits, but with Mindy it ended up being one of the most fun parts of our day together.
Most importantly of all, our photos FAR exceeded our expectations. We will cherish them for the rest of our lives.
Mindy Sue not only is an amazing photographer, she is an amazing person! Mindy Sue was able to magically capture every aspect of our wedding...something we will be able to relive and share with our kids and grandkids. We are so grateful for Mindy Sue, and we would recommend her to everyone!! Her art is truly beautiful...we loved how her photos weren't "pose-y" and were romantic, natural, and genuine. My husband and I actually hate getting our pictures taken, but Mindy Sue made us feel so comfortable and made the whole process so fun! We loved hanging out with her and truly felt we made a new friend. We love you Mindy Sue! Thank you for making our wedding so special !! Oh and I should also mention...we got our photos back super quick! Within weeks of our wedding! It was amazing...just like Mindy Sue! Mindy Sue is the BEST
Once you've decided that Mindy Sue is the photographer for you - I HIGHLY recommend you have her shoot engagement photos. In our case - we got to see that Mindy was versatile in crazy weather - excited by grabbing great shots - and just genuinely fun to be around. For us, it helped that we all got a chance to show our personalities.
On the wedding day, we again had extremely variable weather, and Mindy was ready for it. In an hour and a half of sunshine between raindrops - and then torrential rain - we've got an album full of a WIDE range of shots.
Mindy was great at making both of us feel comfortable - which shows in all of the photos she was able to capture. I know both Erin and myself are very fortunate to have seen Mindy in action at a friend's wedding about a year before ours.
Mindy jokes, teases, wanders, observes, guides and captures. You really won't be disappointed with what she delivers.
We had so much fun with Mindy Sue as our wedding photographer! I initially fell in love with her photos on her website because I could see the authenticity of the moments she captured, and immediately knew she had "the eye"! She was very gracious, very efficient and a ton of fun to be around. I was told that picking the right wedding photographer would have a great impact on your big day (since you would be spending a good part of it with them) and we are so glad that we chose her! We now have so many authentic moments captured to be remembered for years to come! Thank you again Mindy Sue!
Mindy Sue Photography captured the most special time of our relationship. From the fun engagement session by the lake to our memorable wedding day, Mindy Sue brought spunk and laughter to my camera shy husband and photographed moments that were unforgettable. Mindy Sue has the ability to capture amazing moments in an artistic, beautiful way. She is friendly and warm which made it much easier to loosen up and have a great time in front of her lens. It makes the wedding day go smoothly when you have a photographer that goes with the flow and makes sure that all those moments you want to hold on to are forever caught in a photograph. My husband and I highly recommend Mindy Sue for any type of photography need you are looking for. She is wonderful and we are so happy she was there on during the best day of our lives.
You often hear that choosing a photographer is the hardest and most important part of planning a wedding. Finding a photographer with a style that you like - versatility - efficiency - someone who's able to blend in with your guests - make YOU feel comfortable - embrace your vision - travel (if needed) - AND fit into your budget (ahh who even knows what that should be, especially whilst in that heavenly newly engaged phase!?)!
If you're reading this, you've already seen and probably fallen in love with Mindy's breathtaking photography (and if you're like me, even milked a tear or two for couples that you'll never know!). That said, if you're wondering if 'its worth it' -- wonder no more -- hands down, hiring Mindy was the best decision that we made throughout the wedding planning process (if only I had known what an amazing choice it would be - it could have been the best and FASTEST decision that we made during the entire 10 months!)!
Mindy will meet and exceed every expectation that you think you have...and I say 'think' because she will be on top of things that you never would have thought of!
Aside from her wizard-like abilities with her camera(s), Mindy truly is one of the most incredible people that my husband and I have ever met. Unlike so many people and businesses that you come across while planning a wedding, I KNOW that Mindy loves what she does and that's not just taking the pictures, it's working with people too. Man, is this gal good with people. Period.
She took the time to get to know us before the big day and really had an idea of not only what we wanted, but who we were as individuals and as a couple.
Mindy captured the most special day of our lives like no other could have. Our wedding day was nothing short of magical and Mindy captured every bit of it and more. Working with Mindy was a dream and the art that she captured/created will be cherished for the rest of our lives (and well into future generations)!
Mindy will be OUR FAMILY photographer for a long as she'll have us.
Best of luck in planning your wedding! Go ahead and call Mindy today (she'll actually answer or call you back herself), you'll be happy you did!
Happy Wedding Planning!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mindy! From the moment we met for our engagement session she made us feel like old friends. It was this comfort that made for some of the best shots.
Just like everyone said it would be, our wedding day was hectic and flew by in the blink of an eye. My husband and I are ever so thankful to have the beautiful moments captured by Mindy to remember the magic.
We couldn't recommend her more strongly!
My FI and I hired Mindy as our photographer because we loved her style and aesthetic and after meeting her this past weekend for our engagement photos we both agreed she was perfect. Her personality really helped my FI and I come out of our shell(s) and take some really great pictures. She made us laugh, she was reassuring and made us feel relaxed so our pictures won't look posed or fake, which is awesome. We weren't initially planning on doing engagement photos so we didn't know what to expect but she made the experience so wonderful and fun. We cannot wait for her to photograph our wedding next year! Communication via email was a little inconsistent at times but we still are 100% confident that she was the one for us.
We worked with Mindy on our engagement and wedding photos. She made you feel so comfortable and got to know you so she could catch me and my groom in our element. There are so many pictures of us laughing and smiling at one another. But she also caught special and more intimate moments between us. All the images were exactly what I'd hoped for and even more. They were absolutely beautiful. She was one of the (if not THE) best choice we made in choosing vendors for our wedding - we will always have these wonderful memories captured through her pictures! I would highly highly suggest her for your wedding and engagement pics!
Mindy is amazing. Not only does she create some of the most amazing photographs I have ever seen, but she is great to work with as well! We were extremely satisfied with our whole experience, from engagement pictures, to wedding coordination, to her professionalism and ability to keep everyone calm on the wedding day and taking HUNDREDS of gorgeous pictures. We would highly recommend Mindy time and time again. Can't wait for the future baby and family photo sessions!
Your wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye and having amazing pictures to look back on was very important to us. My husband and I are SO happy Mindy Sue was there to photograph all the special moments of our day :)
Her photos are beautifully creative, capturing all the emotions and details we spent months planning. She was even able to capture the absolute best picture of my autistic brother who hates getting his picture taken.
In conclusion, Mindy is pretty much awesome and you should contact her right now to photograph your wedding... :)
I am so happy with the work Mindy Sue did for both our engagement session and our wedding. She likes to capture movement of REAL people & has a great eye. Her photos are both artistic & life-like!
I didn't want the standard wedding photos - I was looking for something with a little bit of an artistic flare.
Mindy has a great aesthetic (think Anthropologie shoot).
She also helped keep our event & guests moving!
Five stars!
I am soooo happy we picked Mindy Sue as our photographer. She helped me relax during the whole day. She knew exactly what to do and got everyone to be where they needed to be for efficient and beautiful family and bridal party photos. She was also very fun and helped everyone just be happy and relax.
Every time I needed her throughout the day/night she was there. She also helped us during the first look. I am not a very good "model" and she helped us every step of the way. She would tell us exactly how to pose while also capturing candid moments. I am so happy I chose Mindy. Her photos are so beautifully unique and exactly what I wanted. She made my wedding day stress free and I am so happy with all of the photos. If you are on the fence you will be extremely happy you chose Mindy. Her photography is unmatched! :-)
I highly recommend Mindy Sue Photography for your weddings in the Cleveland, Ohio area. Mindy was professional in every way. She came to our events dressed in the style of the event and instantly put everyone at ease. She thought of poses and candid shots that never occurred to us. The children quickly took to Mindy and she was able to capture priceless pictures of our adorable little ones. Her pictures of the bride and groom took my breath away! They felt so relaxed with Mindy and even forgot that she was there taking pictures. I can't stop looking at all of the lovely pictures Mindy took to capture the memories of this special time. I requested Mindy to take pictures at the rehearsal dinner and the results are spectacular. Choosing Mindy Sue Photography for our son's wedding pictures was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Sincerely,
Colleen Riddle, Mother of the Groom
I am sooo happy we found Mindy. From the moment we met her we knew she was the photographer we wanted to work with. It is so important as the bride that you feel comfortable with your photographer and i felt an instant bond with her. Not only is Mindy's style so unique and beautiful but she is truly able to capture all of the special moments and portray who you are as a person and a couple. Mindy took the time to get to know us on a personal level and because of this our pictures were that much more special. I would recommend working with Mindy in a heart beat!
Mindy Sue is a rare find in a wedding vendor; a skilled professional, an inspiring artist and a wonderful human being. She provided direction and support when it came to preparing the photo plan for the big day. On the day of, she took care of everything, and we mean everything, going above and beyond and ensuring the groom and I had a glass of wine in hand after the nuptials. She was wonderful with our guests, efficient and directive when needed and had a great sense of humor to boot. Our family and friends cannot stop raving about both her and her photography. We HIGHLY recommend Mindy Sue to you!
Mindy Sue was excellent! All around great experience working with her. She's incredibly talented and super sweet. She gave us so many awesome wedding photos. We are so glad we had her there to capture some of the greatest moments of our lives! I most definitely recommend her!!
Mindy did such a fantastic job with our entire wedding. I hate having my picture taken and I definitely don't feel comfortable in front of the camera, but with Mindy everything felt much more natural. It didn't feel awkward or forced. Even my husband enjoyed our first look session!
I am a photographer myself which means that I am incredibly picky when it comes to choosing a photographer to take my photos. It takes a lot of trust from me to let another photographer capture those moments of my day, but I couldn't have chosen anyone better than Mindy. I am in LOVE!!
She took every photo that I requested and so many more. I got my pictures back incredibly quickly and I am in LOVE with every one of them. It was so much more than I was expecting too. She got all the little details, behind the scenes, and made sure there were pictures of all our guests. She was absolutely incredible throughout the whole day. So thankful that I got to have her as my wedding photographer.
Upon meeting Mindy for the first time, I knew that she was the perfect person to capture all the amazing moments of my wedding day. In addition to being an extremely talented photographer, Mindy is charming, professional, and turned out to be one of the biggest reasons why my wedding day went as smoothly as it did.
Before the day of the wedding she made sure to have all her bases covered; she asked everything from what colors inspired our reception to what kind of family dynamics to expect! Mindy made me feel assured that even in the days leaded up to the big day she was already thinking about how to best photograph our wedding.
On the day of the wedding, as expected, Mindy was absolute perfection. She showed up right on time and immediately began snapping pictures of my bridesmaids and I as we got ready. I cannot believe how well this woman knows her lighting! Almost every picture she took, even those during the reception where it was pretty dark, showcased the people in it beautifully, without the use of any lights, reflectors, etc. And when I say she is so much more than just a wedding photographer I mean it- she instinctively knew when I needed water or a snack and took charge to organize our families and bridal party for pictures.
In the end, the pictures we received were everything I dreamed about and more (and she gets them to you REALLY fast!!) I would highly recommend to any bride considering it to do a First Look with Mindy, it was one of the most magical moments of my entire wedding day! I can't say enough good things about her, and have already recommended her to all my friends who are getting married in the Cleveland area!
Mindy Sue was professional through every step of the process. From our first meeting with her where she spent as much time as we needed discussing her style and listening to our thoughts and expectations up to when we received our photos in much less time than anticipated.
She was great with our rather large bridal party including a number of children. Everyone loved working with her because she has a way of making everyone feel relaxed - makes for better pictures!
Our photos came out beautifully! We couldn't be more pleased!
My husband and I scoured the internet looking for a wedding photographer who would capture our special day in a romantic, sentimental way. It was challenging to find a "Cleveland" photographer with a vintage style and who would be willing travel to Mineral City, OH, to take our pictures. Luckily, we were referred to Mindy Sue by another wedding photographer, and as soon as we saw her pictures online, we knew that we had found the perfect photographer.
Beyond finding a photographer who takes romantic, elegant wedding pictures, it was important for us to establish good communication and a positive, working relationship, especially because we live in Atlanta, GA. Mindy Sue exceeded our hopes and expectations in that regard. We first "met" on the phone to discuss the logistics and other details about the wedding day. Mindy Sue also welcomed the idea of sharing our ideas on Pinterest so that she could see the types of wedding pictures were drawn to for inspiration. Despite the distance, I felt connected to Mindy Sue and confident that she would take awesome pictures rain or shine.
And it did rain on our wedding day. Although we were a little frazzled by the weather conditions, that did not deter Mindy Sue for one second. She reassured us that no matter what, she would be able to take beautiful pictures for us. We just needed to trust her. So we did. It was easy to trust Mindy Sue because she is so upbeat and enthusiastic. She is a natural at making brides and grooms feel comfortable - I think that's key in taking good photos. She's also witty and downright adorable. I felt like we were pals throughout the day. She was a wonderful addition and key player at our wedding.
Our wedding pictures clearly demonstrate Mindy Sue's photography skills and style. Our pictures also reflect Mindy Sue's beautiful character. With her support and encouragement, we could show our love and affection for each other in a natural way. And we all had fun, too. I think that's why she was able to capture a full range of emotions throughout the day. Simply put, we felt at ease and could be ourselves around her.
Mindy Sue is deserving of the Knot's recognition for outstanding photography. She is a valuable asset for the wedding industry. Mindy Sue has a clear vision and passion for taking romantic, elegant wedding pictures. Mindy Sue also has a strong, positive character. She is the "whole package" and deserves accolades for her work. I hope others will join me in celebrating Mindy Sue's talents and contributions.
Thank you, Mindy Sue!
My wedding day was perfect! It was amazing, fun, and way too short! It was just 3 weeks ago so we are still obsessing over details and wishing we could do it all again and experience it over and over! But since that would be silly...we are ecstatic to have had an amazing photographer to have captured our day! So we can sit down and stare dreamily at ourselves and our favorite people and relive the perfect moments!
Planning an out of state wedding was really awful, (I highly recommend you get a wedding planner if you find yourselves in that position) We live in nyc and were married in youngstown, and because I was planning everything myself, I would fly in for a day and meet with eight thousand people, then fly back. This puts a ton of pressure on your decisions, because there are no follow-up meetings, there was no time for second thoughts. (So basically I was a nervous wreck leading up to meeting with vendors.)
I met Mindy and there were no nerves! You sit with her for a second and instantly want to be her bff. Going with the whole theme of Love and marriage... When You Know You Know! I knew right away she would make us comfortable, we would enjoy having her with us on such an important day, and of course most importantly- We LOVE her style.
Nathan and I wanted a mixture of candid, artsy, unique and beautiful photographs that we could hang on our walls and not look cheesy! Mindy's work articulates all that we were looking for. And again, she is so darn sweet! We had guest after guest comment on her ability to integrate into the party, observe, sometimes step in and direct us, and reign us in at times! It was magical and special and fun and perfect!
It's difficult after all of the build-up, when it is back to reality, to not be able to scream thank you from the roof tops to all the people who played a role in such a special day. So this is me screaming, MINDY YOU ROCK! We could not have been more pleased with your work or the overall experience.
P.S. My husband doesn't like anyone, and even he wants to be your bff :)
Before I start, I am the kind of person who thought we could just give my friend our camera and he'd grab a couple shots and we'd call it good. Please please don't think like I did. I did give him the camera and it would have turned out to be a disaster of the best day of my life!
My wife had our pictures taken by Mindy Sue Photography for our wedding and since that day I can honestly say there is not a better photographer out there. She is seriously worth every penny! Where do I start. Her style is unique and doesn't make anyone look awkward or out of place. Everybody looks natural and beautiful. She has never let us see a picture of us looking bad, she knows what goes into making a wonderful photograph. She is incredible with children. She got both of our kids (one in an awful mood) rolling with laughter. Shes very professional. Her equipment was very nice, new and well taken care of. The editing is gorgeous, and we all looked clean, and happy. She got everything done on our time limit, and most importantly she is an enjoyable person and made it a fun experience that we were happy to have memories of! We haven't gone to anyone else since that day and she will always have our business!!!
We give her two thumbs wayyyy up!
Mindy was a wonderful photographer! She had a contagious personality, knew exactly what to capture, and never missed a beat. Leading up to the wedding she was a joy to work with. She helped me determine the order of the wedding day and gave little creative ideas along the way whenever I asked.
She was always only a phone call or email away and responded quickly. She was true to her contract and professional in every way.
A price could not be put on the quality of images that she provided for us. The work of art that we now have to display in our home and keep forever is beautiful and was worth every penny.
On the day of my wedding I was running behind and she was incredibly flexible and willing to go where ever she needed to be to accomplish all of the pictures before the wedding.
I had people ask me multiple times where I found her, who she was, and tell me how great they thought she was on my wedding day. Everyone loved her and my wedding images are exactly what I was hoping for.
If you are looking for someone who genuinely cares and has a true talent for capturing images full of character and beauty you can not go wrong with Mindy Sue Photography!
From the moment I met Mindy, I knew I wanted her to photograph my wedding. I had met with quite a few photographers before Mindy, but she was, by far, the most impressive. Mindy’s sweet nature and captivating personality had me at hello. She exhibits clear mastery over her work. Her photos are artistic, natural and timeless. I highly recommend Mindy to anyone in need of a photographer.
Mindy is astute at taking the perfect photo. Her photos never look staged because she embraces moments and captures emotions. Mindy knows what is important to her clients. I never worried that should would miss a photo. She captured every single detail I hoped she would, and more!
Mindy is on task. She is vocal and assertive without being pushy and annoying. These traits allow her to seamlessly move through the day catching every important moment and detail.
I trusted Mindy from the very beginning. Because I had such confidence in her skill, I encouraged her to use her creative freedom to take photos and create an amazing wedding book. My wedding book is unlike anything I have ever seen – it is truly a masterpiece! Her artistic talent is very evident in her work.
When Mindy and I first met, she gave me a piece of advice that I have since shared with many other brides: choose a photographer with whom you are comfortable, you will be with him/her all day. In addition to being a remarkable photographer and artist, Mindy is a wonderful woman. It was a pleasure spending my wedding day with her. In fact, my husband and I relished in the opportunity to be alone and talk about the amazing day we had while Mindy photographed us. She captured a very special time between us after the ceremony and before the reception.
Mindy did everything from fixing a stray hair to bustling my dress. She was a confidant, friend, helper, and beyond. I am so happy I chose to work with Mindy Sue and any bride who has the opportunity to work with her is blessed. I have only praise for Mindy and her work.
Every reaction to my wedding photos is the same: “These look like they are from a wedding magazine!”
Very talented, patient and service-oriented photographer. My husband and I thought we would be so uncomfortable taking pictures for our wedding, but we hardly noticed anything but each other. We are so so grateful for her natural and candid style. Choose Mindy Sue if you want a wedding celebration and not a three-hour photo shoot. Her images are beautiful and her service is above and beyond!
Mindy was great to work with and our photos came out beautifully! she had just the right photo journalistic style we were looking for and she was super affordable.
We worked with Mindy Sue to document our wedding in June 2012, and the whole experience was phenomenal. Mindy did a great job of communicating with us prior to the day to understand what was important to us, how we wanted her to interact with us and our guests, and what we most needed from her (and her online portfolio made us very comfortable that we would mesh stylistically).
In addition to the standard wedding shots, she worked with us to capture full family shots (including one that probably had at least 125 easily distracted folks in it). Mindy particularly showed a talent for capturing both little children and little details on film. She was also equally adept at close range shots and some gorgeous panoramic views of the beautiful outdoor setting. Mindy also did a great job of being present enough that we could find her if we wanted something specific, but unobtrusive enough that nobody felt as if s/he was being paparazzied.
Finally, Mindy provided us with an online preview very quickly after the wedding, and we were very pleased with the quality of the images and photo DVD she provided.
If you're seeking a wedding photographer in the Northeast Ohio area, I would highly recommend connecting with Mindy to discuss your needs!
I loved the uniqueness and genuineness that her pictures illustrate. She does not do the cookie-cutter shots that I have seen some many photographers do, and that was never appealing to me when looking for a photographer for our wedding. I love the angles and risks that she takes, no picture is ever the same, and it is not the “expected” or typical wedding picture.
When comparing our pictures to others, I am so appreciative of her work and that we had the opportunity to work with you. Ben and I never had a lot of pictures together, so it was so special to me that those taken at the wedding really documented our love in a real (uncheesy) kind of way. And you were certainly able to do that for us.
Mindy came highly recommended from our venue (The Oak Lodge). That in itself with your website/blog were enough to make a clear and firm decision that we had to work with her!
Again, I love her funkiness, quirky, and fun approach. I thought I would be really uncomfortable with the whole picture and photographer in my face just due to my own insecurities.
She never made me feel that way at all. She complimented me the entire time, and really made me feel comfortable.
Ben is really hard to strap down to get him to behave, and Mindy was able to do that. I look at the wedding pictures and think they are so flattering of the both of us, our family, and friends. You can tell from the pictures the story of that day. I love that.
The only thing I can say is that I would have loved more pictures, because I was so happy with the quality of those you did. She did an amazing job and was easily accessible to us through phone and email. We were more than pleased with the results and can’t wait to work with her again in the near future!
Mindy is amazing. Nothing less. Her work is so well thought out, REAL, and beautiful. She gets all the pictures that are "musts" ie) posed family shots, bridal party, grandparents, and they are so well edited and gorgeous ... but she goes above and beyond with her candids. She manages to capture emotion, laughter, tears, all the small details in the work she is doing when you don't even know she's doing it. She is so sweet and fun but makes sure she gets everything that you want while doing it. I would highly recommend her to anyone! She was absolutely fabulous and the compliments on how beautiful our wedding photos are, keep coming in daily. Thank you so much, Mindy!
