There aren't enough words to explain that choosing Mindy and her family to perform my wedding was one of the best decisions i could have made. My wildest dreams came true, in a small but beautiful package. I would like to give a very well deserved thank you to Mindy Miles and her amazing family. You are some of the most incredible people I've ever had the privilege of meeting. You took a very small request for my "courthouse wedding photos", and turned it into the most beautiful thing. You took so much stress off of me, while over exceeding any expectation I could have had, or dreamed of. You all deserve so much praise for taking nothing and turning it into perfection. I am so grateful for you Mindy. You gave me the wedding I didn't think I deserved. I cant thank you all enough. If you are looking to "elope", or have a small personal wedding, you would be making a mistake to choose anyone but Mindy.
Where to start with this entire experience?! First of all, I can’t tell you how easy it was to work with these guys!!! From beginning to end they make you feel comfortable and at ease and love to hear what you envision for your big day! Circumstances were a little rocky (considering there was a baby blizzard going on and we were shooting outdoors) but we were able to still make it memorable and get some awesome pics out of it! What more can you want?? I completely, fully, unequivocally recommend using them for your elopement!!
While planning our wedding, we realized planning wasn't for us. I have health issues, he travels frequently for work, and tomorrow is not promised to us the same way it is to many... so we were ready to just run off and elope. We wanted one day that was all about us, our love, and celebrating with just those closest to us in attendance. We wanted to have a great time and have some fabulous photos to remember the day. I reached out on an online group and The Miles Family was recommended to me... within a few minutes of chatting with Mindy, our minds were at ease. Mindy said they would travel to us, plan everything, and all I had to do was show up with a dress and food for any guests. All for one affordable package. We were skeptical. Who were these magical folks? How could they possibly set up an entire wedding while capturing it all at the same time? But it sounded great, so we said "why not?" and took a leap. (We are SO glad we did.) The Miles fam showed up the day before the wedding. They scoped out the venue, we rehearsed a bit, and then they started to carry trees and logs around, building an alter for us in freezing weather, with snow coming down. Next, Ellee did my glam, Mindy set up the decorations around the house, and Rob practiced our ceremony, then Mindy and I shot my boudoir set. The day of the wedding, all we had to do was wake up and bring the dress and suit. That really was true!! Ellee did my makeup, Mindy did my hair, and Rob shoveled a path for an aisle. We got married in the snow with just the 10 closest people to us. The entire day was so well planned and organized. It was all about our love. They made me feel like royalty. Everyone had a blast from start to finish. The whole thing was straight out of a fairytale. The pics say it all, even though I could clearly go on forever. Mindy, Rob, and Ellee are the dream team. This was the wedding of the year, by all accounts and the photos and memories will last us a lifetime. Infinite thanks to The Miles Team for giving us an absolutely perfect wedding beyond our wildest hopes dreams.
I could write a whole novel on how wonderful our experience with Mindy, Ellee, and Rob was, but I’ll try and keep this short and sweet. Planning a traditional wedding/reception back at home was a nightmare. It was overwhelming and for us, just not fun. We made the decision to reach out to Mindy with a crazy idea of planning a simple ceremony in Colorado. Not only did Mindy love it, she picked up the idea and ran with it, making our big day so so special. If I remember correctly, her exact words were “make a Pinterest board and I’ll do my best to make it happen.” This was literally music to my ears. The Miles family took our Colorado mountain dreams and made it into a reality. The flowers, make up, hair, photography, ceremony, music, and videography were all very well taken care of by them. Mindy even helped us plan our honeymoon activities for the following week My husband and I only had to bring our rings, dress/suit, and a marriage license to Colorado. So so so easy, and we actually got to enjoy our day instead of feeling rushed and trying to entertain guests. If you’re considering going out of town for a small wedding then do yourself a favor and hire the Miles! My husband and I would do this a million times over if we were given the chance! Thank you thank you thank you Mindy, Ellee, and Rob!
