About

Each of us experience life differently... and I love to capture how we do that. Just how momentous a wedding day can be... Just how zany and fun family time is. My style is an amalgamation of my personal artistic touch with a candid approach. My effort is to provide work that is reflective of the events, feelings, and moments that occur. Whether it be a pivotal moment like "I do" or a quiet intimate glance, my aim is to document your wedding moment by moment. My photography is complimented most by my vigor, enthusiasm, and creative drive! I strive to give clients authentic, candid, and creative photography.

Phenomenal and amazing!

Mindy did such a phenomenal job and was so much fun to work with! She was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we would highly recommend her to everyone we know. We only have positive things to say about our experience working with Mindy.
When we first met Mindy, she truly took the time to get to know us as a couple. We worked with Mindy for our engagement session and for our wedding, and she was able to capture the most beautiful wedding pictures that made us cry, laugh, and truly feel like we were reliving our wedding just by looking at our photos. She was able to use our personalities as a couple and let us shine in every single photo.
At the end of our wedding night we took some last minute night time photos that turned out so beautiful, and we were also given personal Polaroid photos that were taken throughout the wedding day. We were able to see some of our sneak peek photos the same night as our wedding! Not only did she capture an amazing wedding with us, she was able to get all 800+ photos back to us within two weeks of the wedding.
It is clear how passionate Mindy is about her photography and the couples she works with, and we would recommend her over and over in a heartbeat!

Down-to-earth photographer that makes beautiful photos

We found Mindy because she was highlighted on our venue's recommended vendors list. She was also the one vendor that listed her prices on her website, which I appreciated and thought was more transparent. She was respectful, kind, and relaxed. She handled changes to the schedule on the fly really well, and we loved her style of photos.

The best decision you can make for your wedding

I don't know words positive enough to describe how truly incredible Mindy is. Mindy is the single best decision we made for our wedding, and the one vendor that I will recommend with 100% faith to every single engaged person I know.

I cannot speak more highly of Mindy's work, her attention to detail, and the experience she provides on a wedding day. We worked with Mindy for two engagement sessions and our wedding day. And each time, Mindy delivered photos that made us laugh, cry, gasp with excitement, and squeal with joy. Mindy's creative, artistic approach is truly unmatched and provides her clients with timeless art pieces that will be cherished for generations to come. Plus, she captures candid moments that give you a real time capsule of your day as it unfolded. Not only does she have a creative eye for details, artistic shots, small moments, and candids, but she will also provide beautiful portraits that are a true, genuine representation of your day and your relationship.

Mindy takes the time to get to know her couples' personalities in a way that allows them to shine in photographs. My husband and I have so many photos that are so perfectly "us" that another photographer would not have captured. Mindy is so invested in the day - she even teared up during my first look with my dad - and makes your wedding experience feel even more special. Every member of our bridal party and family has separately told me how much they loved meeting Mindy and how fantastic she was to work with all day. She had us all relaxed an comfortable in front of the camera in a way I have never experienced when I've been in other weddings. Taking photos felt less like a formality and more like a fun thing we all got to experience together. We felt that way after our engagement photos as well - not as if we had just done a photoshoot, but as if we just had a fun date where we laughed and enjoyed ourselves.

And not to mention that she provided us with sneak previews THE NEXT MORNING and our full wedding album in record time! I cannot recommend Mindy enough. I'd give 1,000 out of 5 stars if I could.
