I found Covenant Pictures through a friend’s recommendation, and I will forever be grateful. Planning a wedding felt overwhelming at first, but their constant support made it easier than I ever imagined. They stayed in touch regularly—sending me timelines, posing tips, shot lists, and little words of encouragement that meant the world to me. On the day itself, I was an emotional mess (in the best way), and they were the calming, positive force I didn’t know I needed. They gently guided me through portraits, made my bridesmaids laugh, and even helped bustle my dress when my mom got flustered. One of my favorite parts was how they always asked, “Do you want a photo with this person before they leave?” It felt like they were 10 steps ahead of me. My friends still talk about how professional and fun they were to be around. And to get the final edited gallery before we even got back from our honeymoon? That blew my mind. Every photo took me right back to the moment. If you're getting married—do yourself a favor and book Covenant Pictures.

Ashley and her husband Nate shot our wedding, and while they were phenomenal on the day of, they were truly the dream team from the very beginning. I knew I wanted our spring wedding to be full of color and joy, and I wanted our photos to reflect that so I could relive the day over and over. Ashley Kristine Photo was the obvious choice for this vibe. Ashley answered every question throughout our year and a half engagement, helped us navigate weather cancellations for our engagement session, and, when our wedding day ended up being the only day in all of April that was supposed to get snow, she talked everything through with me and reassured me the photos would still be nothing short of stunning. On the day of, Ashley and Nate showed up just as excited as the rest of us. They helped protect my peace, followed my photo list while adding their own magical touches, and helped so many of my family members, who usually aren’t comfortable in front of a camera, feel completely at home. And when we got our wedding photos back, many as early as the next morning, I was in disbelief at how she brought those still moments to life through the color and joy she captured of our dreamy day. The weather absolutely did not take away from anything I wanted and I had zero worries throughout the day, which I owe so much of that to Ashley. I sincerely hope to work with Ashley and Nate again in the future, you couldn’t ask for a better duo to capture your special day.

If you are looking for a photographer to capture your event, LOOK NO FURTHER. Christy and Alex were everything we could have hoped for and more for our engagement pictures and wedding day! When we were searching for photographers, we must have looked at over 70 in FL. Many of them were nonresponsive, didn't capture the small, candid moments in their portfolios, or were wayyy out of our budget. Then, we stumbled upon Christy Clark Photography. Christy texted back to my inquiry almost immediately and it was so easy to get a first call set up. She and her husband Alex jumped on a call with us and shared their approach, their style. We knew on that call we had found the photographers for our big day. And yes - they require payment up front (we paid half at booking, half one month later, but all was paid long in advance of the big day). They explained that once they sell a date, it's unlikely for them to re-book if we back out, such is the industry. We were hesitant at first, but never fear. This team shows up on time, they are so communicative, and they were amazing at helping us drive our timeline on the big day. It was worth every penny and the peace of mind. The engagement pictures were AWESOME for helping us feel comfortable with Christy & Alex, and generally in front of the camera. They'd both give us some small direction on what they were shooting and then they'd fade into the background and just capture US. This helped us feel even more confident in them on our wedding day. They captured all the shots we asked for and so many more. They made us laugh and generally inspired a good time doing something that neither of us feel natural at. I felt beautiful in every picture and my partner looked incredibly handsome... but most importantly we looked comfortable and obsessed with each other. OUR FULL 1948 PHOTO GALLERY WAS DELIVERED 6 DAYS AFTER OUR WEDDING AND WE WERE BLOWN AWAY BY THE QUALITY. I watched a friend posting their first wedding pictures from their wedding 3-months prior (which is much more standard timeline) the day before I got to post mine... 1 week after my wedding. If you want an experienced team that will capture all your good sides, the true vibe/feeling with you and your partner, and delivery in a snap, BOOK CHRISTY CLARK PHOTOGRAPHY. You won't regret it!

I am a queer, New York City-based photographer documenting candid joy and human connection. Drawn to emotion and the beauty in everyday moments, I approach my work with mindfulness and intuition – balancing gentle guidance with an observational presence. What I value most about my job is the ability to connect with people and witness their stories unfold in raw, vulnerable ways. I hope that my work is a reflection of these moments: honest, emotive, and intentionally seen.

When searching for a documentary-style wedding photographer, I was completely lost in the sea of endless Instagram profiles. Finding Emma's was like hitting the photographer jackpot. Capturing genuine moments is her specialty. Aside from the obligatory family portraits, we didn’t give Emma any specific direction, yet she managed to capture every single special moment perfectly. To say that my husband, our friends, family, and I are amazed by the photos she has shared with us so far would be an understatement. “Superb, phenomenal, stunning, magazine-worthy” are just a few of the words our friends and family have used to describe our photos. The attention to detail is unparalleled. Emma is professional, efficient, kind, talented, and truly everything you need in a wedding photographer. We could not be happier and highly recommend her!

About wedding photographers

How much does a wedding photographer cost?

Wedding photographers early in their careers can cost as little as $1,500. Super experienced photographers, as seen in magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair, can cost upwards of $30,000. The range is wide, but, in general, you can expect to spend around 10% of your budget on wedding photography. Rates also vary based on wedding length, the services you want, and location. A photographer based in an area with a lower cost of living, for example, will be less than one based in New York or San Francisco.

How much should we tip our wedding photographer?

A good rule of thumb is to tip 10% of their rate, or at least $100. If they’re bringing second photographers or assistants, an additional $50 to $75 per person is an appropriate and nice gesture.

What questions should we ask wedding photographers?

Aside from logistical questions about packages, pricing, and availability, it’s also important to use your conversation to get a sense of their personality. This person will be with you and your loved ones every step of your wedding day, including, if you want, in the dressing room! It’s very important that you and your partner both feel comfortable with them and their working style. Talk about your venue, how you want to feel when you look at your photos, and which photos from their portfolio you like best.
