We love Kelly from Mint!
We just received our Mint Photography photos from our February wedding at Mercury Hall in Austin and could not be more thrilled with how the photos turned out / our entire experience with Kelly at Mint.
Here are some things that stood out about our experience working with Kelly:
1) I texted her on Friday afternoon to give her details about when/where to go for our rehearsal dinner and she immediately called me to tell me that she had our wedding booked for the following weekend - turns out I had booked the contract for the wrong date and had never noticed (whoops!). Luckily Kelly was available the weekend of our actual wedding and showed up to take photos at our rehearsal dinner on about 3 hours notice. She handled the whole thing so well and saved us from what would've been a major wedding weekend disaster.
2) We live on the East Coast and were only going to be back in Austin once before the wedding, so we were trying to schedule an engagement session for that particular weekend. It ended up being pouring rain so we couldn't do the photos, and Kelly was super flexible and allowed us to credit the session towards extra wedding day coverage.
3) Kelly and her assistant came to South Congress Hotel to take getting ready photos of me and my bridesmaids, then to Mercury Hall for the ceremony/reception, then to the "Greetings from Austin" mural (where my husband and I had gotten engaged) following the reception so I could surprise him with doing some photos there. They were so great about getting to all of the different spots on time and even offered to bring my wedding dress from SCH to the venue, which was a huge help to me and my mom.
4) Kelly is so, so friendly and lovely to work with. She stayed totally calm and cool throughout the entire day, even when we had some schedule changes (our hair and makeup ran over and so we were rushed doing getting ready/pre-ceremony photos) and when our family photos started to get out of hand (we had planned to just do immediate family, but a bunch of aunts/uncles/cousins hung around for "family photos" after the ceremony and we decided to just roll with it so we wouldn't hurt any feelings). She truly made us feel so comfortable and at ease and like we were in great hands throughout the day.
5) Last but not least, the photos that she took are AMAZING. We love every single one and have gotten a ton of compliments from family and friends about how lovely they turned out. Kelly had some great suggestions for photos that we wouldn't have thought of doing that ended up being some of our favorite shots, and also was totally on board with us not doing a "first look" (which others were pushing us to do), even though it compressed the timeline somewhat.
You will be so happy with the results if you book Mint Photography for your wedding! We can't wait to get our album - we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives!
