I would absolutely recommend Marc & Mindy to every couple looking for a wedding photographer!!! They go above and beyond in every way! Their communication is very thorough, and they made our day of schedule and planning so much smoother by the work they put into it. We even had issues come up the morning of the wedding and they were able to accommodate the changes to the schedule and make it all work out! They coordinated everything beautifully and are so so wonderful and easy to work with. The pictures turned out incredible!!! We are so grateful to have had them as our wedding photographers!! read more

Marc & Mindy are THE BEST. Their photos are stunning, they're excellent posing coaches, and they're super efficient. But most importantly, they are delightful to be around! On your wedding day, you only want to be surrounded by people who are supportive, kind, helpful, calming, and fun--and that's exactly the vibe Marc & Mindy brought to our big day. We loved working with them!! I highly, highly recommend them. read more

Hiring Marc & Mindy was definitely one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding! The enthusiasm they showed for us from the beginning added to our own excitement. That energy 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! read more

My wife and I were nervous on selecting a photographer because we both know we don't do amazingly well in photographs, especially posed ones. Mindy, however, did an excellent job making sure we were comfortable and getting a variety of pictures that captured our best sides! She is very professional, easy to work with, and has a great personality. She worked with our budget and needs and gave us photographs that we have made both an album and several fun photo frames of. I highly recommend her! read more

Choosing Marc & Mindy as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning process. From our very first call, Marc and Mindy listened 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. read more

After reading all of the reviews, we were very excited to work with Mindy. She seemed to be very on top of her game and promised a high level of service and communication. After we 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. read more

Marc and Mindy were absolutely the best team to work with. So easy going. The communication they had throughout the year long wait from our engagement to wedding was so helpful. Being 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. read more

I had the pleasure of getting to meet Mindy and Marc when we hired them to be our wedding photographer. Looking around for a wedding photographer can be an extremely stressful ordeal. 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! read more

We hired Mindy for our 05/19/2018 wedding and could not have been happier with our decision! Mindy and her husband Marc (her second shooter) were so professional and organized through 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! read more

Ohmygosh! I don't even know where to start! We are so extremely happy that we chose MLP for our wedding photographers! Mindy and Marc are two of the most genuine people we have ever met. They are so friendly and go out of their way to get to know their brides and grooms and we loved that so much! They made us feel so comfortable and always had us laughing! Thank you so much for all of our amazing photos and everything you did for our big day! We can't thank you enough for how incredible our engagement photos and wedding photos are (and we've only seen one wedding photo so far! ;) That's how good they are--I only needed to see one photo) We will definitely be catching up with you two in the future as our family grows with newborn portraits and family portraits! read more

Hiring Marc & Mindy was the best decision I made when planning my wedding! To start with they are incredibly professional and nice! They took the time to get to know us and know what 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! read more

Mindy and Marc are the absolute best photographers you could ever ask for on your wedding day! They made everything run so smoothly and got all the shots we wanted and so much more! 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. read more

If I could give Mindy 100 stars, I would. Hands down the best vendor, photographer, and easiest choice for our wedding! Mindy is absolutely incredible and has such a good eye for 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! read more

From our first phone conversation with sweet Mindy we knew she would be the perfect photographer for our wedding. We really got to know her during our free engagement session (in our 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!! read more

I learned about Marc and Mindy's services when I requested a preferred vendor list from my venue, the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium. They are a married couple team 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 have uploaded our images for you to see their work! read more
