With over a thousand weddings under our collective belts, we've photographed and filmed weddings of every shape and size imaginable. We can't wait to document your wedding as well!

Awarded Best of Zola
“Hanel, Mike, and the entire Duet Team were amazing to work with I cannot recommend them enough to couples starting their search for a photo video team. We got married in May at Saint Ignatius in Long Beach, followed by a Larkfield Reception. From the first meeting Hanel was accommodating and considerate explaining the process and how their company works, what we can expect from them and a bit about their style as artists. He was always available to answer questions throughout the planning process and seemed happy to do so to make sure we had the coverage we wanted on our day. Day of Mike and the team showed up right on time and made everyone comfortable even with cameras popping up all around us which can always be a little uncomfortable for someone like me who does not really like my photo being taken. They did a great job of melding their artistic vision with catching us all as genuinely and naturally as possible. Making a long day of taking photos a task that was honestly enjoyable. They were able to read the room and know when someone might have needed a bit more direction (by someone I usually mean me) or if we needed a moment between shots, they made sure we got that time. When we got our photos back, we could not have been more obsessed. Picking just a few to go into an album will be an extremely difficult task everyone is so beautiful and so perfectly captures our day as it truly was not overly posed and stiff like sometimes wedding photos are. Everyone we have shared the photos with has had nothing but AMAZING things to say and I cannot recommend them more to anyone who is looking for a wedding photo and video team.”

“TWA Photographic Artists were straightforward and direct in their communication, and kept us on schedule throughout our wedding day. Their work was great, capturing many timeless and detailed shots. However, at times they seemed a bit hurried when working with our wedding party and guests, though they remained attentive and eager to get the right shots. For example, the photographer remembered the little details that made our photos special, but we felt a bit rushed after the ceremony and didn't fully capture the joy of those moments. Overall, TWA provided solid photography services, but could have been a bit more patient and attuned to our desired pace for the day.”

We're not a big studio with a team of strangers behind the cameras. We're a husband-and-wife duo who built this business around one thing: making people feel something. We take on a limited number of weddings each year because every couple deserves our full attention, creativity, and energy. No copy-and-paste galleries. No cookie-cutter experience. Just honest photography, real connection, and images that hit just as hard decades from now as they do today.

“My husband and I still can’t stop looking through our wedding photos from Kovy Photo. There’s something different about how they shoot — it doesn’t feel staged or forced, it feels like they just quietly captured our actual day. The photo of my mom crying during the vows, the way my husband looked at me before I even reached him, our friends laughing during the toasts — all of it feels so real when we look back. You can tell they weren’t just taking pictures, they were paying attention to us the whole time. If you’re getting married in Columbus and want photos that actually feel like your wedding and not a photoshoot, Kovy Photo is who you need.”

McKinney, TX
  • Fine art style

I'm Michael Anthony, a wedding photographer based in Dallas–Fort Worth, with a second studio in Los Angeles. I shoot across DFW — Dallas, Fort Worth, McKinney, Frisco, Prosper, Plano — and travel for couples marrying farther afield. Nine countries and 1,000+ weddings so far. My approach is editorial and unobtrusive. I document the day rather than direct it, because I want your images to make you feel the moment again, not simply see it. I take a limited number of weddings each year so each one gets real attention. Tell me your date and venue and I'll confirm availability right away.

“From the moment we partnered with Michael Anthony Photography for our client's special day, the experience was nothing short of remarkable. Their team, led by the incredibly talented Michael, delivered an extraordinary level of professionalism and artistry. Jennifer, a true gem in their team, ensured that every little detail was captured beautifully. Her keen eye for detail and her ability to work seamlessly with us as wedding planners made a significant difference. The detail shots she provided were not just photographs, but pieces of art that told the story of the day in a magical way. Furthermore, the efficiency and organization skills of Courtney, their studio manager, were impeccable. She was always on top of everything, ensuring smooth communication and coordination. This level of dedication and attentiveness is rare and was greatly appreciated. The final images were breathtaking, and our clients were overjoyed with the memories captured. Michael Anthony Photography didn’t just take photos; they created a visual narrative of the day that will be cherished for a lifetime. It’s a pleasure to give Michael Anthony Photography a well-deserved 5 stars. Their blend of talent, professionalism, and passion for their craft sets them apart. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a photography team that goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results.”

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.
