“Eivan's photo and video services were very affordable and were a major reason why we went with them. I think the photos we received turned out very well and captured many of the amazing moments that we had at the wedding. The service we paid for only included one photographer and one videographer but they were both very attentive and made sure to be where the action was the entire day. Overall, the experience was positive and for a bride who was more focused on living through the experience of her wedding, Eivan's did a good job of handling the stuff you don't really want to think about.”

This spot was completely his recommendation, and it turned out perfect. He guided us through poses and made the entire experience feel so natural and easy. My fiancé and I are both pretty shy, so we were nervous about feeling awkward or not knowing what to do, but Pedro made us feel completely comfortable the whole time.

“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.”

“Allison is hands down the best! My husband and I did not consider ourselves to be particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but after working with Allison for both our engagement and wedding photos -- we were simply blown away! Allison and her husband Nikita are everything you want in your wedding day team -- they do a great job posing you (while also keeping plenty of room for candids and natural moments), keeping the day moving (especially with wrangling a very very long family shot list with multiple small children) and also reading the energy of the room and giving breaks and hype ups as needed. Our wedding day gallery makes me tear up every time I open it, and I couldn't be more grateful to Allison for making it all come together!”

Our focus is on real moments, beautiful light, and photos that feel like you. Whether you’re planning a cozy backyard wedding or an adventurous elopement in the mountains, we’ll capture it with care and creativity.

“It is genuinely difficult to put into words how incredible our experience with Megan & Kenneth was! They were the second vendor we hired back in February 2025 for our September 2026 wedding and I can confidently say they out did even our wildest expectations. Booking a wedding photographer/videographer can be stressful but I can promise you that you are 10000% in the best possible hands with Megan & Kenneth. From our first call with Megan to content delivery, she was so attentive to every detail, replied to all of my questions in literal hours, and shared so many helpful tips and tricks leading up to the wedding day. She listened to everything we requested, even adding a location in for couple's portraits when I texted her less than 24 hours before our wedding! Our wedding photos and videos came out absolutely stunning (not to mention the SUPER quick gallery delivery time!). We loved reliving our day from the posed moments, gorgeous portraits, candid laughs, dance moves, and even guest moments we missed. Megan even made sure to show me photos on her camera throughout the day since I wasn't sure which veil I wanted to wear for the ceremony. We truly felt like we got such amazing, complete coverage of our day. Not only is their work fantastic, but Megan & Kenneth are the absolute best people to be around. They made us feel so incredibly comfortable taking photos for hours. After our Central Park engagement shoot, it felt like we were just hanging out with our friends! The day of our wedding, Megan & Kenneth filled in so many gaps throughout our day - essentially doing the job of a day of coordinator and more. Kenneth even helped fix my bustle after someone broke it. The two of them (and the AWESOME second shooters they brought, Tony and Kris) were such incredible energy all day long. While it sounds hyperbolic, I could cry thinking about how grateful and thankful we are that we found Megan & Kenneth to capture our wedding day. We are so lucky to have the most incredible day of our lives captured by this talented team. If Megan & Kenneth are available for your wedding date, stop reading reviews and go lock them in immediately! You will not regret it.”

Already, from only what we've seen of the photos so far, I am awestruck at the way Daniel brought out a type of smile from me that I have no other photos of. I've been told I have a soft smile and can be somewhat self conscious when posing for photos, but Daniel erased every bit of that feeling. The entire day was magical, and I can't imagine anyone else being able to capture what he did. My family and friends had a great time during photos, he made us laugh, he made us comfortable, and he captured it all. Simply put, it was a blast, and he was a key part of it all.

The photos came back looking natural and gorgeous, with an eye for detail that we didn't expect. We're thrilled with how everything turned out and can't imagine our wedding day without their talent behind the lens. If you're looking for a photographer who is both skilled and a joy to work with, we'd definitely recommend Kovyphoto.”

“We had the best experience shooting our engagement pictures with Mohammed! Before the day, he was quick to communicate, but not pushy, he was flexible when we adjusted the time a few days before shooting, and he was very straightforward with pricing, payment, and all technical details like that. He arrived early to set up so we could start right on time, and he guided us through posing during our session while still capturing our spontaneous moments as well. His vibe was warm and calm, which is exactly what I needed to feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos are BEYOND gorgeous and he got the edits back to us in an extremely quick turnaround. I would recommend him to anyone doing lifestyle photos or couples photography of any kind. He made our day feel easy and super special!”

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.

“What a great experience!!! They were so professional and the photos came out great. I hired Michael Anthony Photography for my engagement pictures and my wedding. They showed up early and were so amazing. They went above and beyond to make our day very special and memorable. I couldn’t be happier with how the day went. My picture came back very fast and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend them! Thanks again Michael Anthony Photography!!”

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.
