Meet Mina,

I am a big fan of life. Which is why I have chosen to spend mine documenting all the things that make being alive so worth it, love being one of the best ones. I have been lucky enough to have a very diverse experience with photography, thanks to the early start my mom inspired. I began loading film in my mom's fashion photo studio before I started grade school and it continued to be a constant accessory to all of my life's endeavors. My experience in pro sports, classic portraiture, fashion and journalism, paired with my love for the juxtaposition between light and shadows truly punctuates my style today. I wholeheartedly believe that your wedding photos should look like art and feel like love. My team and I always aim to capture the essence of your story through honest documentary, paired with timeless editorial portraiture. This allows us to create an elegant and nostalgic time capsule of the most meaningful moments of your life. Every member of the Mina Sisley photo team is professionally trained in analog film because we believe it significantly affects the artistry of our work and helps us achieve worthy heirlooms for you to pass down for generations.

The film experience

Your wedding is one of the biggest days of your life and it deserves to be documented with that same gravity. People remember how you made them feel and our goal is to help you remember how you felt during the most monumental moments of your life. Film helps perpetuate nostalgic images and movies that will deliver this feeling for years to come. That is why we choose to lean into the experience of analog and have a fully film video team. A unique style of documentary for a unique love story. Our team is host to some the only people shooting large format film at weddings today. Mina and her associate team are all specifically trained in many mediums of film photography such as super 8 videos, medium and large format, tintypes, peel polaroids, square polaroids, and more. These lost arts are our favorites because they bring an incredibly unique experience with immediate tactile results to moments that deserve the most prestigious mediums of documentary.

Our approach

We always aim to be the perfect combination of a friend and a fly on the wall. This allows us to document the most intimate and quiet moments between you and your loved ones in a way that feels natural. Establishing a connection with your media team is paramount to achieving true documentary. Our style tends to be a fun marriage between artful journalism and editorial portraiture for a timeless but also youthful feeling photo collection.
