Marc & Mindy | Fine Art Photography

to exactly what we wanted and made us feel like we were their only couple. Mindy is incredibly organized. She walked us through filling out surveys and questionnaires to ensure she understood what we wanted, setting up our day of timeline, and creating a detailed shot list. All of this helped our day run so smoothly. Both Marc and Mindy made us feel so comfortable when taking pictures, from our engagement session to the day of our wedding. Our families felt at ease while taking photos, and our wedding party had a great time posing for photos. After making sure the entire process of photographing our wedding was enjoyable, Marc & Mindy then delivered wedding photos that are absolutely stunning. They captured every shot we wanted and then some, allowing us to look back and happily relive our wedding day whenever we look at the photos. Mindy was incredibly patient while helping me design my wedding album, too. Through each round of revisions, she was able to make all of my requests happen, and our wedding album is truly more perfect than we could have imagined. Overall, Marc & Mindy are kind, knowledgeable professionals who make it abundantly clear that they are committed to helping their couples' wedding days run smoothly and be captured perfectly. I truly cannot recommend Marc & Mindy enough.

our wedding. Mindy was so so sweet and so easy to communicate with. She made it such a fun experience for us. Mindy went above and beyond by making a timeline for our wedding day, and emailing all of our other vendors so everyone was on the same page. Our wedding pictures were AMAZING!! They did such an awesome job. We have all the shots that we wanted plus so many more. I cannot thank Marc and Mindy enough!!!

nergy remained throughout the whole process and was clearly evident in the amazing photos they captured! Their clear communication before and leading up to the wedding put us at ease during the planning process and throughout the big day. Mindy was prepared with helpful surveys and questionnaires to both get to know us better and to ensure we had everything covered regarding who and what we wanted photographed. Our big families and 20+ person bridal party could've been a daunting task but Marc & Mindy made it look easy. We echo the many compliments we received all day from friends and family about how amazing she was to work with. Our brother-in-law even said he wished he could get married again so Marc & Mindy could take their photos! The biggest crowd pleaser was a slideshow of photos taken throughout the day displayed for guests to view during our cocktail hour! Their hard work, eye for detail, and talent provided us with so many images that perfectly capture the joy we felt during our wedding! We feel so fortunate to have such wonderful photos to look back on for years to come!

y what we envisioned for our engagement and wedding photographs. We wanted photos that would capture the energy, and excitement of us as a couple, but also be timeless with an artistic edge. From the moment we hired this team, they were super communicative and reminded us of upcoming events and deadlines. We worked with Mindy for our June 2021 engagement session and had an absolute blast being photographed by her. She made us feel completely at ease, and she directed us in a way that photographed beautifully while remaining true to who we were. When we saw our engagement photos, we were blown away. We got to work with both Marc & Mindy for our September 2021 wedding. Prior to the date, Mindy reached out asking for our other vendors to make introductions and connections. That helped coordinate the day of timeline to ensure everything ran smoothly. Mindy also asked for a detailed list of photographs we wanted to make sure were taken, this was such an essential part of the day. When the wedding day came, we were relaxed and confident that Marc & Mindy would keep the day on schedule. Our bridal party had so much fun taking group pictures with them! Mindy beautifully navigated the task of directing our large families for portraits, it was a seamless process! Everyone felt confident and comfortable in front of the camera, us included! They captured the big moments of the day, but also so many small and candid moments. Our photos were absolutely breathtaking! We saw the joy, laughter and love captured perfectly, and we were overjoyed with the sheer amount of photos we received. Knowing that all photos were edited in house meant even more, the vision of the photographers was clearly evident in the final photographs. We wholeheartedly recommend Marc & Mindy as your wedding day photographers. Not only are they high quality professionals with an artistic eye, they are also remarkably kind and thoughtful individuals who were an absolute dream to work with. We consider them friends, and cannot wait to take more photos with them as our lives continue on.

and excited! On the day of our wedding, they guided us effortlessly through all the craziness. Even when a protest threatened to derail our photo schedule, they quickly jumped into action (and into the middle of State Street) to get some of our favorite shots of the day and get us to the venue on time! To top off our experience with Marc & Mindy, we got to see a preview of our wedding photos during the celebration! It was such a magical moment to share those photos with our family and friends right away. Without a doubt, would highly recommend Marc & Mindy!

received lots of praise on how nice they came out. Our venue had a lot of architecture that could have made cool photos and I would have liked to do those pics. However, I realize we were running out of time and guests started showing up. Overall, we highly recommend Marc and Mindy. They are the best!

ing the busy farmers that we are having that extra reminder was so helpful. Our engagement session was a blast to take these two love birds to our dairy farm and give them a tour of the cows and farm land. They got right in there and weren’t afraid to take on a new environment. Lol our wedding day was such a picture perfect day. Mindy’s eye to catch the perfect natural lighting was definitely seen in the pictures. Absolutely spot on. How they both captured precious moments amongst the many family and friends on our day was fabulous. Definitely recommend this team.

and Mindy were amazing throughout the entire rescheduling process, and I never felt stressed when navigating postponing with them. From our first initial consult to delivering our photos, Mindy was easy to communicate with and extremely organized. She was able to direct our large 23 person bridal party easily and made adjustments throughout the day to make everything run smoothly. Even with a thunderstorm right before our ceremony, Mindy and Marc were cool, calm, and collected, and I really felt like I could trust them to make sure everything went ok. Our pictures turned out amazing, and so many friends and family have commented on how good of job Marc and Mindy did. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone! I'm so happy we chose Marc and Mindy to photograph our wedding :).

were very impressed by her organization and her genuine desire to get to know us prior to our wedding day so she could capture not just beautiful photos, but photos that represented us. She even went above and beyond when I had to scramble to look for a new make up artist, I emailed her and within a few hours I had a list of 10 people to contact. She created a very detailed timeline for our "tour of Chicago" photos that was very helpful in keeping us on time and was willing to go the distance for the perfect shot. We loved working with Mindy, she made us feel very comfortable throughout the day and got two camera shy people to enjoy getting their picture taken! We're very excited to see the final photos and based on our sneak peak, we know they're going to be great, as with just a few pictures we can see Mindy's talent with light and for capturing special moments shine through.

all of the pictures turned out. They captured every moment of our wedding day so well! I have been to many weddings in the past where it seemed like the photographers were distracting and always in the way but that wasn’t the case with them at all. Marc and Mindy were very respectful and truly a joy to have with us at our wedding. Their communication with us before, during and after the wedding was great and they were always so helpful. If you’re looking for an amazing wedding photographer, Marc and Mindy will not disappoint!

from outside of Chicago, IL who travel back to Dubuque where they have family at no expense to capture weddings. My now husband and I actually went to Chicago for our engagement pictures and the weather was terrible! It was freezing, WINDY, and raining/sleeting. It felt like pelts of glass hitting you in the face. Mindy suggested finding somewhere inside for pictures, but I was set on having pictures on the beach since our wedding was going to be beach themed. She didn’t complain once! She went with the flow and made the best of it, even though she didn’t recommend it. What I thought was going to be a total loss and waste of time (per my own fault), we got a handful of great pictures from! I was so surprised. Mindy even loaned me her lens wipe to clean off the rain/sleet from my glasses. We love Mindy and she is great with working with you to get you familiar with the camera for the big day. Fast forward 1 year and here comes the wedding day on 10/10/2020. They sent a gift card to use the week prior for a date to destress from wedding stuff which was so sweet. Their work was amazing! The pictures are very high quality and you can tell they take pride in what they do. The only thing I found was that their prices are on the higher end of the market in Dubuque are, but they are also trying to keep up with the market in Chicago area where they are based.

I mean, talk about a vendor that listens intently, truly cares, and proves their talent. Not only did they take our every requested photo, Marc & Mindy made us feel comfortable and beautiful literally the entire time; they even made it fun for us, too! So, long story short: There is really no match for this kind, vibrant, and gifted photography duo on your wedding day, so stop looking and pick them now. You will be thrilled that you did :)

we envisioned for our wedding photos, we wanted clean and timeless versus trendy editing. Clean and timeless are exactly what we got!! Mindy is very organized and she helped coordinate the big day with the other vendors, which was extremely helpful in the week leading up to the wedding. At one point the day before the wedding, I realized I had not yet touched base with the videographer during wedding week - putting me into panic mode. When I reached out to him he let me know Mindy had already coordinated the entire day with him from addresses, to timing, etc. I cannot describe how much of a relief that was as a bride. Marc and Mindy truly have a great eye - some of our favorites are the candid, fun photos as well as the intimate shots of my husband and me. Another perk of hiring Marc and Mindy (which I understand is not applicable to all wedding ceremonies) is they are very familiar with the Catholic Mass. This was important for us to make sure our photographers were familiar with the order of events and photography "rules" during a Mass. We are very happy with our wedding photos as well as the their intangible qualities such as organization and helpfulness. Thank you, Marc and Mindy!

wedding pictures. With 2 professional photographers, they were able to take both great looking posed pictures as well as candid pictures. One of the best resources they provided was ample notifications and what to expect before each session and communicating very well about what we should do to prepare.

cago area, there would be no hesitation about using them for the wedding as well. They were both extremely professional, organized, and fun to work with. We also are very, very happy with how all of the pictures turned out!

otographers! Marc and Mindy have been absolutely fantastic to work with and were extremely accommodating. Our wedding was impacted by COVID-19 and we went from over 250 guests to just 20; but Marc and Mindy made the trek to Michigan just for us anyway. They scouted out the area and even reached out to other photographers in the area to find the perfect spot for our first look. They aren't just "photographers", Marc and Mindy are the type of people you want to keep in your life just because they are good people. We cannot wait until next year for our big celebration post-COVID and you better believe Marc and Mindy will be there too!

ries you walk away from your wedding with. After finding Marc and Mindy, seeing their portfolio, and talking with Mindy, I knew they were the ones I wanted to capture our day. I don’t live locally, so Mindy was even so kind as to meet with my mom to talk about their services and show her options for the post-wedding album that they will put together for us. Unfortunately, our wedding was impacted by COVID-19 and our plans wedding changed greatly, but Marc and Mindy were so supportive throughout the process and made the plan alterations absolutely seamless. Mindy focuses not only on the photography aspect, but the day as a whole, too. She communicates with all the vendors, makes sure the wedding party is ready on time, helps shuttle flowers, etc. Our pictures from “Part 1” turned out better than I could have imagined and we can’t wait to use Marc and Mindy again for “Part 2” post-COVID!

o 2021, but we decided to do an intimate legal ceremony this year in a different location. From the initial call with Mindy, we knew this was the person we wanted to be there during the pandemic. Mindy was very understanding of all of the things we had going on and the difficulties we were facing nailing down details. Mindy was understanding and flexible to all things that kept changing. The day of - Mindy was fantastic! She blended perfectly into the background, which is a feat given there were only 9 people at our ceremony! She captured all of our “must have” shots without having us only focus on taking photos. Mindy made us feel extremely comfortable even though neither of us had ever met her in person. The photographs we were received were great! The candid photographs taken are our favorites! Mindy captured the small in between moments that are so often missed. The photos are light and airy and just the style we love. Photography for our small ceremony was the only thing not stressful about getting married during the pandemic. We would definitely work with Marc and Mindy in the future.

at kind of pictures do we want exactly. I was a bit late on the wedding day and Mindy made me much calmer while managing to get all the pictures I wanted with the time we had left! My husband also had a ton of great pictures getting ready with Marc’s help. They truly helped make the day run as smoothly as possible plus we had so much fun with them on the photoshoot. All the pictures were perfect it was almost impossible to choose a favorite and they delivered it in the time they promised. I cannot recommend them enough!

put our minds at ease the day of. Both our engagement and wedding photos look AMAZING. Every special moment was captured, and we cannot wait to look back on our photographs for years to come!

comfortable with them on our big day. They organized everything wonderfully and made picture-taking very easy for our group. We were happily surprised with a sneak peek slideshow playing during the reception and received great feedback from our guests about it , too! Thank you, again, Mindy and Marc for capturing our special day!

but Mindy made the best of it and the pictures looked great. She even took photos of our 12-year-old lab. I have taken thousands of pictures of her over the years. As soon as I pull my camera out she puts her head down. I guess she is a little camera shy, but Mindy capture several wonderful photos of her. I too am a little uncomfortable getting my picture taken, but Marc and Mindy put me at ease. They both had a way of posing us to make the most of each picture. They also took many live action shots, which caught many of the intimate and personal moments of our wedding. I was initially uncomfortable with the price of photographers, but after see the quality and unexpected quantity of photos it was worth the money. The wedding day was such a whirlwind that it was had to take it all in. Luckily, Marc and Mindy seemed to capture every moment of the day and my wife and I will always be able to relive our wedding through their photographs.

tter photographers. Very sweet, caring, and made everyone feel so comfortable. Mindy always made sure to follow up before to make sure that everything would go as smooth as possible. If I ever emailed questions, I always received a quick response with answers. They sent a sneak peak and WOW! is all I can say. I cannot wait to see the rest. 10/10 recommend!

ase about the whole process. They are so friendly, warm, and really try to understand you as a couple. Would highly recommend this team to any bride and groom looking for a photographer on their wedding day!

al. When I saw Mindy and Marc’s portfolio I knew instantly they were who we needed to capture our wedding day. Their style is timeless and elegant. They were the most beautiful photos I had seen after searching endlessly for weeks. When the day came, I was nervous. I really don’t enjoy being the center of attention and we had a pretty large crowd. Mindy really helped calm me down. Her relaxed, professional, friendly attitude reassured me that no matter what at the end of the day I would still be married and that is all that mattered. We would highly recommend this husband and wife team for any important occasion!

! They took the time to get to know us personally through emails, phone calls, text messages and through our engagement session as well as understand what photos we wanted together as a couple, bridal party, and family portraits. Our pictures turned out flawless and would choose Mindy and Marc over and over again.

ur wedding package) and that helped my husband and I get comfortable with her photography style. I highly recommend the engagement photo shoot because it made our wedding day pictures such a breeze. I am such a planner and it was amazing that Mindy is too! I even sent her my wedding day timeline a few months before my wedding and she would give me input and potential things to watch out for. That was months before my wedding, which helped me relax so much! Mindy and Marc are such amazing people inside and out and we were super happy with the work they did for our wedding. Can’t wait for you to join the MLP family, you will be so relieved having them there on your wedding day!!

during our wedding photos. On our wedding day, Mindy helped coordinate with other vendors to make sure that we got the pictures we wanted. She helped us make the decision to do a first look (our wedding was in the evening in November with minimal light) and I do not regret it one bit! We have beautiful pictures that I will cherish forever. My husband and I were able to have a beautiful private moment and Mindy and Marc were very respectful of our time. I am so in love with all of my pictures and I am so glad we got the chance to work with Mindy!

to fill out to organize our day, Mindy thought of everything! She takes her time editing the pictures and the outcome is amazing! I have decorated my walls with her pictures and they all turned out beautifully no matter the size. I’ve made canvases, metal prints, wedding album and framed work. When I had questions even after our wedding about how to print, she helped me along the way. Mindy went above and beyond as a photographer and I am so grateful that she was there to capture our big day. She’s reliable, professional, kind and a joy to work with. I highly recommended Mindy as a photographer!

! She just keeps putting us off!!! The few proofs we have seen look awesome.

hotos that were special to us on the day, without skipping a beat. We had an engagement session before which truly helped make the day of better since we knew poses we liked and what worked for us. Highly recommend! Photos turned out amazingly and we cannot wait to get back the rest of our wedding photos :)

first phone conversation with Mindy I knew she was the right person to capture all our special moments at our wedding. She was genuinely interested in getting to know our story and vision for the wedding. As I continued working with her I soon found out this genuine person was REAL and had so much fun working with her throughout the wedding planning process. She was available to answer questions and takes AMAZING photos! In addition, she not only helped us with the overall wedding timeline, but also made us feel even more excited and special leading up to the wedding – with the gift in the mail and call-outs on her facebook page! Everyone in our bridal party kept complementing how nice she and her husband were and how excited they both were to be there with us celebrating and capturing our wedding – truly genuine! I would highly recommend booking Mindy for your wedding not only because she is a great photographer, but also because she and her husband are genuine people and make the wedding and days leading up to it that much more special.

above and beyond just taking pictures by getting to know our story and us as a couple, which made the experience so much more personal. Throughout the wedding planning process, Mindy was there for any questions I had, and eased my mind about the little details I was stressed about. Mindy and Marc were with us the entire day of our wedding from getting ready to the dancing at the reception, and captured even the smallest, most special moments. They are very professional, and love what they do, which shows in the pictures! Their pictures truly show the happiness, love, and joy of every single moment of our big day! I would recommend them a million more times if I could! No one else could have gotten us through our day like they did!

helpful throughout the entire process! It was so comfortable working with Mindy, she made sure everything went smoothly and that we all had the perfect poses. Our photos turned out to be absolutely beautiful. One of the best part was that during our reception, Mindy and Marc had a laptop set up where you could preview some of the photos taken that day! We love our photos and have received many compliments and comments on them and I couldn't thank MLP enough for that. Everything was absolutely perfect with Mindy and Marc. I highly recommend MLP!!!!!!!

signed our contract, we had a difficult time communicating with Mindy. We did our engagement shoot and Mindy set the turn around time for 2-3 weeks. We waited 4 weeks for our photos with little communication regarding the timeline. After waiting for 4 weeks, we were so excited to get our photos, only to be disappointed by the lack of attention to detail. My fiance's suit was bunched up, the angles were unflattering, and we got photos with our eyes closed! To go through the entire process and only have two usable photos is very frustrating and expensive. Needless to say, we have had to terminate our contract and begin the process all over again.

posing, but Mindy helped us pose and made everything feel and look so comfortable which is exactly what we needed! She was so organized and helped keep everything on schedule. We also went out during our cocktail hour to take sunset pictures which was great for lighting and also wonderful to have some quiet time we could spend together. Her husband Marc was the second shooter which was excellent since they have great communication and also to help in the coordination. I would 100% recommend Mindy for anyone looking for not only an amazing photographer, but also someone who makes the entire experience so easy and enjoyable!

do not exaggerate when I say that was the best possible decision I could have ever made. Mindy is professional, kind and so passionate about her work. From the moment we started talking about working with her she had us filling out questionnaires to get to know us and our personal style to really make our pictures what we wanted. The time and effort she puts into each couple is remarkable. During the wedding day, Mindy really stepped in with Marc to help coordinate everything and make our day run so smooth. I never once was worried about what we were doing or awkwardness during pictures because everything was made to be so natural and fun. They really captured our personalities in their shots. Mindy was especially good about making sure our daughter had her time to shine as well. When we got our photos back I was shocked to see how many we had and that they were all SO beautiful. They invoked tears from friends and family, from some who hadn’t even attended the wedding. There is no other choice but these two if you are looking for someone to capture such a huge moment in your life. My high expectations were more than met. Thank you guys again!

without a doubt consider myself "type A" , though come wedding day I knew Mindy was going to take care of everything and all I had to do was enjoy my wedding day. She was always willing to answer any questions that I thought of, and was always so incredibly sweet and kind. For any bride/groom that is looking for someone to photograph your wedding day or engagement session, we highly recommend MLP!

ough the whole process. Mindy was always responsive and giving of her time leading up to the day. The day of the wedding she did a great job being assertive enough to get all the shots we wanted and more but was never pushy or flustered. she does a great job making you feel comfortable and helping you to pose in ways that are most flattering for you. We received our images back in a timley manner and can't wait to share with friends and family!

that Mindy and Marc taking so much care documenting our wedding day in the amazing way they do really took the pressure off. We can't recommend Mindy and Marc highly enough; going above and beyond, They are the people you need behind the lens.

capturing every great moment. So down to earth and so much fun to work with, made us feel very comfortable. The best part about her is that she treats this like such a special experience, rather than a business transaction, like some other photographers we had met with prior. This will be the best vendor you choose hands down and could not be more pleased with how all of our pictures turned out and how comfortable she made us feel!

We couldn’t be happier with our service 😊

u feel comfortable with the whole process, from the engagement through the wedding day and through album creation Mindy guides you every step of the way.

eeting - before we event booked her! Ultimately her level of experience, detail, her easygoing personality, and the many options we had for wedding photography are what led us to booking her. A few weeks ago we had our engagement photo session with Mindy and it went so smoothly. Leading up to the session, she sent multiple emails to make sure we were well prepared. Then, the day of, the weather didn't quite cooperate - Mindy was on top of it and picked a location that we absolutely LOVED! She explained everything for us so we were able to be natural in front of the camera. I would highly recommend Mindy and her services to any couple looking for a wedding photographer!
