We started working with Mindy a year prior to our wedding. After meeting with her the 1st time, my fiancee and I decided to have her (not an associate) as our photographer. This was just personal preference because we thought she was really cool and liked her work. Mindy did our engagement photos off-site at Mt Charleston and the colors are amazing. She even got our dog to look like a pro. She was very exact on her directions which is great for me because I can make some awkward poses for pictures. A week out, I had a phone interview with Mindy. She helped me set out the actual wedding timeline and come up with a plan. She also made suggestions on what she's seen work well. Since this was her first time at the venue, the day prior, she did a walk through there with me and the venue coordinator to come up with a game plan. The day of, we were able to add in some spontaneous photos with a faux fur coat my friend brought as well as graffiti and foliage photos based off what was available. She kept us all on track and even early based off the timeline. We can't wait to see the finished products. read more

We just got married on Aug 6th, and we cannot speak highly enough of Doug! From our first meeting at the wedding expo in January, we knew Doug was the photographer for us! He was friendly, funny, and professional. Scheduling was super easy and our engagement shoot was a BLAST! We were so comfortable with Doug and he made sure we felt like rockstars during the entire shoot. Our pictures came out AMAZING and Doug was accessible and responsive throughout the entire planning process. Come wedding day, we were so excited to work with Doug. His direction and guidance, his patience and flexibility with our timeline and our families, and his confidence and positive energy behind a camera all contributed to an awesome wedding day. We can't wait to see the final pictures; we know they will be FANTASTIC! Thanks for being a part of our special day, Shanee and Daryl :) read more

Doug was AMAZING, I knew from the moment I met him I wanted him to take the photos for our wedding! He has this flair about him that I just loved. My entire bridal party had such a great time working with him and thought he was so fun. He was so patient with me and all of my million questions! I am pretty sure I called him everyday the week before my wedding and he was so great with answering all my questions and easing my worries. I will be using Mindy Bean for ALL of my photography needs and will recommend them to ALL of my friends in the area. read more

I agree with Margaret N. Doug was rude to me as well. When I was talking with him he would look away and also made faces when I asked specific questions about his photography. He was definitely all about the money, he's in finance as he said. He was not really interested in getting to know his potential clients, their story and what they envision for their special day. I walked away with a bad feeling. The pictures are beautiful but disconcerting customer service. read more

Where should I start. From my initial email to Mindy/Doug I can't say enough about how great Doug was to work with. I was planning my wedding across the country on one of the busiest days 12-13-14 and I am beyond thrilled that we were able to have Doug as our photographer. From the beginning he was quick to answer all of my questions via email and calmed my nerves when I was feeling like an overwhelmed bride. He arrived on time at our hotel and from the moment he walked in the door I knew we had made the best decision on who to trust with our wedding pictures. Our pictures are amazing from night pictures on the strip to the fun dancing pictures after our wedding. Every wedding guest said how wonderful Doug was so much fun, relaxed, down to earth. He fit right in with our fun, crazy family and guest. read more

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that my photographer would be one of my favorite parts of our wedding. Having planned my entire wedding long distance from Illinois I wasn't sure how things would work, but after talking to Doug and looking at his portfolio I felt comfortable booking in for our big day. Communicating with Doug was always fast and simple. He responded to every email usually within a few hours and even when I started freaking out about details he laid everything out for me and put me at ease. On the day of the wedding Doug was on time and ready to work. He had shots in mind and was always professional. But perhaps my favorite part about Doug was that he was fun. I always thought taking our wedding photos would feel like work, but even my husband said he was having fun. Huge thank you to Doug! read more

Doug is an amazing photographer he was attentive to every detail. My husband and I hate pictures and he made us feel very comfortable. Look no further! !! He is very professional, and creative. read more

Mindy Bean Photography - Doug took this amazing shot - Event Photography Near Me - Lehi, Utah

It's been almost 2 years since I first came across Mindy's website during a late night, wedding research binge and inquired with her about photographing our wedding. The fact that I emailed her at 2:00am Hawaii time and got a response in less than 6-7 hours, I was impressed and just had a good feeling that this is who we would work with to capture our special day. We exchanged a few emails and set up a Skype date where we were able to chat with Mindy & Doug about our vision, their expertise and how we could capture the special day- after over an hour of video chatting we made the decision that we would go ahead and have Mindy & Doug photograph our engagement session & wedding day! Where do I even begin? Let's start off by saying that I personally do not care much for taking photographs AT ALL- but working with Mindy & Doug made me feel relaxed enough to step out of my comfort zone and trust the process. We had a great and fun time during our engagement session, which ended up going a little longer than expected but we survived the Mindy Bean Bootcamp where you learn about all the ways to pose and expressions to make in order to catch the best shots! :) Being that the engagement session went so smooth, I knew that the wedding day would be a walk through the park, or in my case the golf course, and it was one thing that I didn't have to worry about on the big day. Mindy started the day off by photographing the girls as we got ready & Doug captured great shots of the boys looking all dapper. After that, we did our first look-which I initially was undecided on but after talking to Mindy I figured that it would be a good idea to do the first look and wedding party pictures so we have time to do our romantic pictures during cocktail hour- and I am glad she convinced me to do it that way because everything just flowed so well! I am so glad I went with my gut instinct to contact Mindy & even more ecstatic that my husband convinced me to invest in our wedding pictures and go with the package so that we could have both Mindy & Doug photograph our special day. They were able to capture great moments of our ceremony, reception and priceless memories of our family & friends that made the trek out from Hawaii and the East Coast to be a part of our wedding day! :) Mahalo nui loa to both of you for your talent, professionalism, time, thoughtfulness and friendship! We love you guys! read more

My wife and I can't say enough about how happy we are with the engagement and wedding photos Mindy took for us! She is a consummate professional as well as being super clutch in a pinch. (i.e. Tying a bowtie on the fly) Mindy is our photographer for life! read more

We just got married over the weekend and while we have not seen our photos yet. This review is based upon Mindy's excellent people skills. We spent a significant amount of time with Mindy during our wedding week and she and her assistant were wonderful. They went above and beyond for us. My husband and I met with Mindy and Doug, and it was fun from the start, we clicked with them and knew they were right for us! They were attentive to our needs and Mindy was easy to get along with and was a total crisis manager from time to time! We can't thank you enough for your positive energy at our wedding! read more

Doug was an awesome photographer. He captured every moment and really seemed to be everywhere at once. He was also very patient with our 2 year old flower girls. He was professional and very knowledgeable and fun to work with. I would absolutely reccomend him to anyone. read more

Excellent shoot today with miss mindy! She made my fiancé, dog and I very comfortable and it felt like a friend or family member was photographing us..Shes a great coach..very creative and patient...especially with our dog..looking forward to seeing the pictures and having her shoot our wedding! Thank you Mindy!-T&A&RU And for the record..spoke with Doug several times prior to today's shoot with mindy, and never did he come off as rude..Doug is very organized and efficient at what he does..very respectful human and businessman. Thanks for all the help Doug! read more

Mindy and Doug are the consummate professional photographers! They are locals who know every part of the city and surrounding areas and you can get the best photo shoots and therefore the best pictures. They have done a few family photo sessions for us and anyone with kids knows they are tough but somehow we always get amazing photos! They are quick to get everything to us in a disc and then are kind enough to give us the rights so we can do with the pictures as we please. Surprisingly, this makes them much cheaper than those specialty photo places because you print only what you choose!!! I cannot say enough about them but give them a try; you WILL NOT be disappointed! We are customers for life! read more

Doug was difficult to communicate with from the get go. He was rude, sounded like he would rather not take my job, and made me feel like an idiot. I have never experienced worse customer service in my life. If you would like someone who is excited for your wedding and to take your photos, don't go with Doug. The first time he congratulated me on my wedding was in his last email to me when he told me he felt better about me not choosing him as my photographer. Classy. read more

Finding Mindy Bean Photography was easily the best google search we ever made. My wife and I are so incredibly fortunate that we were able to have Mindy and Doug photograph our engagement session, as well as our wedding day. Not only are they the epitome of professionalism, but they are fun, energetic, and display a true passion for their craft. In my opinion, there is no reason to shop around when searching for a qualified wedding photographer in Las Vegas. If Mindy is available book her immediately before someone else is lucky enough to secure a spot in her already busy schedule. She will accommodate your every need, and you will be blown away by the results. read more

My husband and I simply can't put in to words how happy we were with Doug Bean! After countless hours/days of researching photographers, we decided to choose Doug for our wedding back in September and he did not disappoint! Everything ran smoothly from the first email I sent him to the last dances at our wedding. He is so much fun to be around and knows how to herd a crowd of 70+ people together for a beautiful wedding photo! So many guests at our wedding had something nice to say about Doug. We highly recommend! read more

I am grateful for all the helpful reviews that led us to Mindy Bean. We had Doug as our photographer and he seemed to be everywhere at once, getting from one shot to the next faster than what seemed humanly possible. He was flexible, yet made sure that he got the shots he knew we would want, which was great since I'm clueless. Doug's professionalism stood not only to the bride and groom, but to guests and family members. Choosing Mindy Bean photography was a great decision! read more

After seeing some of these bizarre one-star reviews, I need to chime in. I don't know where those people are getting "rude" from. Doug was super cool, down to earth, and really responsive, and so was Mindy. If you aren't down to earth (which I'm betting money these people aren't), then go find some uptight, snooty photographer for a whole lot more money who'll suck up to you. However, if you want a competent photographer who will make you feel relaxed and jive with what you're wanting, then go with Mindy or Doug. And believe me, it wasn't that I wasn't picky and just let him do whatever; I had a long list of ideas and things I didn't want, and Doug was totally understanding and made sure to get all the shots I wanted. My wedding was on a tight budget, but I still wanted great photographs. Doug was, by far, the best option that I could find in town. Sure, you'll find people who might be a little cheaper, but for the quality you get with them you might as well have your uncle take pictures with his personal camera. I love Mindy's style and found out that Mindy trained Doug and edits his photographs. So, if you're on a budget and can't afford Mindy, for a really *spectacular* price you get the beautiful look of Mindy's photographs mixed with Doug's truly magical portrait work. He has a way of capturing someone's honest look - just a simple, beautiful picture that captures them in that moment without being contrived, if that makes sense at all. Not only did he capture the individual portraits of me and my husband that I was wanting, but the photos he took of my friends and family while they were seated during the reception were so great that at least 5 of them changed their Facebook profile picture to the picture he took of them. During the pictures before the ceremony, he made sure everyone was where they needed to be, was constantly reassuring me, and even carried my lipstick for touch ups. I opted to also get a second shooter, Saundra, who was amazing as well. She made sure to take as many pictures as Doug so I got some great shots from two different angles. Overall I couldn't have been happier with the shots and service I got and would definitely recommend Doug, Mindy, and their associates for any type of occasion (wedding, engagement, baby, etc.). In fact, when we plan on starting a family soon I am going to ask them to take our pregnancy shots and future family shots. read more

Doug Bean was our wedding photographer and we cannot praise him enough. Leading up to the day he was always available by text or email, and as he had never been to our unique venue before, he met us there a few weeks before the wedding for us to scope out shooting locations. On the big day, he helped my inexperienced groom tie his tie and arrange his tie clip and cuff links. After that Doug set up our First Look and it's a moment we will never forget. Throughout our entire day he was kind, courteous, patient, and made sure we only focused on each other and our love. He took shots we never would have thought of and for the specific shots we did ask for he made them even better than what we had in our heads. He was very careful about taking wonderful detail shots of my bouquet, our shoes, my groom's Green Lantern tie clip and cuff links, etc. He was creative and resourceful and together we took advantage of every nook and cranny of our beautiful 1930s Mission style Historic Fifth Street School venue. My husband and I really felt like Doug was part of our team! During the ceremony and reception he was both unobtrusive and everywhere at once! I know he got all the classic shots but I was never aware of him. All my guests and our family couldn't stop gushing about him. He was so fun during the reception too! There were a few times when he took our wedding rings away from us and I can't wait to see the photos to find out what creative things he did with them. I also saw him with our custom cake topper that was painted to look like us! He's a sneaky one! We haven't seen the photos yet but I have absolutely no doubt they will be gorgeous. We would hire Doug again in a second for any special occasion. He was the one vendor for our wedding that we appreciated the most and can't stop talking about. THANK YOU DOUG!!! For the reviewer here who gave Doug one star, I think you must have just caught him at a busy moment because that is so far away from my experience with Doug that it's hard to believe we could be talking about the same person. read more

My husband and I found Mindy and Doug at the bridal show. I felt a connection with Mindy immediately and we liked what the packages had to offer. The engagement shoot was so much fun and Mindy shot some beautiful photos. We used Doug and Mindy for the ceremony and reception they worked so well together. Honestly they made my husband and I fell comfortable and we had a blast working with them. I couldn't tell you witch picture is my favorite because I love them all. I recommend them to all my friends and family getting married. read more

Wow!! We really can't put into words how amazing Mindy & Doug's work is! We booked Mindy for our engagement photos and our wedding. Both shoots were incredible and the pictures came out stunning. The utmost professionalism and attention to detail truly shine through in the finished product. They were extremely accommodating to our schedule, showing up well beforehand to ensure they captured every moment of the day, and even staying late to capture more shots at the reception. The photos themselves are above and beyond our expectations. Mindy made full use of the entire hotel for our wedding -- pictures at the bar, in the lounge, on the stairs, outside, inside, by the pool, on the balcony, etc. The quality of the photography is amazing! From the lighting, to the pose, the posture and all of the tiniest details -everything is perfect. Even as we were taking the pictures our wedding party was commenting on how professional and polished the work was. In addition to the fact that the actual product was incredible, working with Doug & Mindy personally was a pleasure. They were extremely responsive and very accommodating to us. We shot our engagement photos in November 2013, and our wedding was originally slated for June 2014. But in January, only 5 months before the original date, we had to unexpectedly change our wedding date to November 2014. Mindy & Doug did not hesitate to work with us and immediately change our plans. They allowed us to change the date and even the payments to best fit our schedule. It was a life saver, and truly representative of the type of people they both are. It was an absolute pleasure working with both Doug and Mindy and we are so thankful that we booked them! read more

Hats off to Doug! My husband and I were married at Angel Park this past weekend and I have to say that Doug was the star of the show. Aside from being an amazing photographer, he went above and beyond! From gracefully accommodating the random photo requests, fixing a dress malfunction, locating my throw bouquet, making sure we ate, stepping in when we couldn't find our Ketubah - I just can't say enough! If you're looking for a wedding photographer - stop here. Doug's your guy! Thanks, Doug! You made our day perfect :) - Jeff & Jennifer Steinberg read more

Doug and Mindy did a fabulous job at our wedding last Saturday at the Keep Memory Alive Center!! They kept things moving, and didn't miss a beat They have a great way of making you feel extra comfortable during the day, and this is much appreciated when you're not used to being photographed. They were on time, and Doug kept in contact in the weeks leading up to the wedding. We haven't seen the photos yet but we know they'll be outstanding!! Can't wait to see them. Sam the videographer and Valentine their assistant did an awesome job too! Thanks guys!!!!!! read more

We love Mindy Bean Photography! We've had our engagements, bridal, wedding, maternity, and family pictures taken by them and are always in love with the quality of work. They've helped us capture the most intimate and precious moments of our lives and we wouldn't have it any other way. read more

You can seriously stop looking for your photographer now! Mindy & Doug Bean are THE best. We had the pleasure working with Doug Bean, who is seriously the man! My husband isn't as "into the perfect photos" as I am, and Doug made him feel super comfortable with the engagements and wedding day photos. We first met the Bean's at the wedding expo and had a great kick-off meeting as a friend of mine referred me to Doug. From the meeting at their office to the post-wedding communication with Doug, we cannot rave enough. Our friends and family love Doug and we get several compliments on their photos and editing work! This couple truly takes pride in their work and you will see that when you view their galleries!!! Doug was also helpful in earlier stages of planning as he referred me to other awesome vendors. I could rave on and on about Doug & Mindy, get a consultation with them today as we'd recommend them to everyone! Thank you Doug & Mindy for being such awesome people and really making our memories so special!! we love you! read more

Doug was wonderful to work with! He made our wedding so much fun and memorable with his awesome photos. When is Las Vegas I highly recommend Mindy Bean Photography!!! read more

So happy Mindy did our wedding photography! Wedding was short-planned, and two weeks before ceremony was still anxiously searching for professional photographer. Mindy's portfolio was love at first sight. Was huge relief when she confirmed availability. A few days prior to ceremony we had chat on the phone to discuss event details. Mindy shared valuable experience of what to expect from Vegas strip photo shoot, and gave some good advice of DO's and DON'Ts. So on wedding day, we were well prepared. Mindy showed up promptly, all equipped, very friendly and easy going. 2 hour photoshoot was planned in 3 different locations, which is pretty tight timeframe. Mindy did EXCELLENT job coordinating where to go/how to pose, so we ended up having plenty of photos in all preferred places. Within 5 weeks received bountiful amount of fantastically edited wedding photographs. Mindy is very professional, responsive, attentive to detail, and was overall a pleasure to deal with. Would definitely recommend. read more

We had Doug shoot our wedding and we cannot be more happy that he did. He was friendly, fun, confident, and really helped us through the awkwardness of posing for photos. He is such a down to earth guy. We really liked him as a person and so did our guests! Though we haven't gotten the photos back yet, we would 100% recommend him just based on how comfortable he made us feel, how he helped when needed with stuff that wasn't even photography related (He helped with my bustle strings when my mom was feeling overwhelmed), and just how smoothly everything went under his direction. He was always quick to respond to emails and overall him and Mindy were just very sweet and very accommodating. read more

Mindy is a superior photographer with great customer-service skills. I am glad I came across her business.

I found Mindy Bean Photography through a google search.. It was a spur of the moment engagement photo session while on vacation to one of my favorite places. From the pictures and reviews online my fiance and I were convinced our pictures would turn out amazing. Our photographer Doug was very friendly and personable. After returning home we waited longer then expected (per our contract and what Doug had said) to see our photos. Our photos were never even posted online for us to look at or purchase until months later when I contacted Mindy Bean Photography through their site. I'm not really surprised our pictures were never posted to their facebook page or mentioned as they were not worth the $500 we paid. We felt like it was a quick money maker for them and since they knew we wouldn't be using them for our actual wedding day they didn't really take the time on our photographs..... read more

We hired Doug for a 1 year Anniversary photo shoot while celebrating in Las Vegas and he was amazing! We had SO much fun and the photos are absolutely breathtaking! He listened to what we were wanting and made it happen plus so much more! It felt like we had our best friend taking the photos because he just knew what was us and what was not. read more
