Awarded Best of Zola
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.

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves La Porte, TX

Hi, I'm Emily - a journalism major drop-out turned wedding photographer that loves all things editorial and story telling. Think back to any impactful photo you've seen in the media, the key to remembering it is that it made you *feel* something, and that's what I strive to bring forward in the wedding photography industry.

Our day truly wouldn’t have been the same without this team. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond — not just capturing the big moments, but all the little ones we’ll treasure forever. Their personality was top notch: fun, genuine, and easy to be around, yet confident enough to keep everything on track without ever feeling forced. They didn’t just document the day, they became part of it. They made our families comfortable, brought laughter when we needed it, and gave us peace of mind knowing every memory was in the right hands. The photos speak for themselves, but the experience of having them by our side is what really made the difference. If you want a team that delivers more than beautiful pictures — a team that brings energy, joy, and heart to your day — look no further. Best decision we made.

A.M. Productions is the only Houston Wedding DJ & Entertainment company that provides talented DJs with a boutique style approach for couples who want a packed dance floor and a memorable wedding, in the era of cheesy wedding djs. We aren’t your average wedding DJ. We’re passionate, innovative and unique professional entertainers. If you want to learn more about how we can make your wedding Easy, Stress-Free and Memorable, call or email us.

Don't think twice - book A.M. Productions for your wedding now!! We knew how crucial it was to book the right DJ & entertainment to deliver the energy we wanted for our wedding and they EXCEEDED our expectations. We got married in April 2025 and had DJ Forum (Alex) mixing and emceeing. Aaron (the owner) also graciously came through to ensure a smooth event. We came to learn about A.M. through a recommendation from our wedding planner. It was also validating to later see them on our venue's (The Peach Orchard) preferred vendor list! During consultation, we were drawn to their extensive services/add-ons, quality of work, and competitive pricing. We selected their Super Star package (most popular) and chose subwoofers and advanced uplighting. We also added on their photo booth which was exactly what we needed - a backdrop, self-service, no props, digital gallery, present the entire wedding, and the convenience of having it handled by the same team. Leading up to our wedding day, the A.M. production team were well-organized and provide you with a wealth of tips, resources, and instructions. We filled out their comprehensive "Wedding DJ Planner" sheet that helps them prepare and provided them playlists of 10-15 songs each for cocktail hour, dinner service, and dance floor (we used Spotify) to help inspire the mood/energy we were looking for. The wedding day was FLAWLESS! They went above and beyond, surprising us with moving heads AND a CO2 gun which was a crowd favorite. DJ Forum read the crowd amazingly and his mixes were fire. Our guests spoke very highly of them - with some intending to book A.M. for their own weddings in the future! For a complete package of professional lighting, sound, photobooth, energy, service, and more - book A.M. productions with confidence!! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts on making our special day a moment to forever look back on with smiles all around!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Lilly Bridal Artistry enough! Lilly, Rubi, and Natalie were absolutely incredible to work with and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. I genuinely felt like a princess, and I have never felt more confident or beautiful in my life. My hair and makeup turned out even better than I imagined and stayed flawless throughout the entire day. They also did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law, and every single person looked stunning. Everyone’s look felt elevated while still looking like themselves, which was so important to me. One thing I especially appreciated was how accommodating and professional they were throughout the entire process. We had a pretty tight bridal suite space for the number of people getting ready, and I honestly would have preferred a little more time allotted for services, but despite those challenges, they handled everything so calmly and efficiently. Everyone was finished beautifully and looked absolutely flawless. What truly went above and beyond, though, was how they helped me during a last-minute spray tan disaster. The night before my wedding, I had a complete spray tan emergency with blotchy, uneven skin on my chest and arms. I reached out to them in a panic, and they responded so quickly and kindly. Even though skin airbrushing was no longer a service they officially offered, they still accommodated me and airbrushed my skin to help even everything out. It made such a huge difference and relieved so much stress the morning of my wedding. Their talent, professionalism, kindness, and willingness to go above and beyond meant the world to me. I’m so grateful to Lilly, Rubi, and Natalie for making me and all of my favorite people feel so beautiful on such an important day!

My experience with this venue was absolutely amazing. My fiancé and I were not high maintenance or detail oriented for our wedding. We wanted the a simple nice wedding that we did not have to put a lot of work in and this place was perfect! High quality venue and vendors!! The venue itself was so beautiful, you barely have to decorate it. The vendors are all with the venue, and our amazing planner Sheilah W was awesome! She gets everything prepared and deals with contacting all the vendors and putting everyone on the same page. I was so shocked the packages even included stationeries (save the dates & invites) ! Vendors included flowers, photographer, catering, DJ, day of coordinator, cake/desserts, all inclusive bar. I am so glad we chose to have our wedding here! When I tell people I barely did anything to plan this wedding.. I mean it. In a good way because it was such a stress free planing process for us! It was such a great day. Simple and beautiful

Since 2017, I've been dedicated to enhancing natural beauty with a gentle touch, bringing out each client's unique radiance. As a solo artist, I focus on creating a personalized, calm experience for each bride, so while I can’t accommodate large bridal parties, I’m here to ensure that you feel both beautiful and serene as you prepare to walk down the aisle. Specializing in soft glam, I believe in enhancing—not masking—your natural beauty, whether you desire a subtle glow or a soft full glam look. Every bride deserves to feel her most confident, no matter their skin type or concerns.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jackie was hands down the sweetest lady to work with! She is so talented at what she does. The BEST MU artist. My group of girls were definitely a hand full to work with (as a bride, I let them choose to pay for their own H&MU if they wished to have it done, and a few changed their minds wanting both services done, and Jackie accommodated each girl without hesitation and made a new timeline for us). I was going insane, but she made working with her run so smoothly it put my mind at ease. Jackie is very professional, well mannered, shows up on time, and gives you EXACTLY the look you are wanting. She seriously shows up for all her clients, even if it means waking up at the crack of dawn to glam an event and then drive hours to come and glam you (the bride and your party), she shows up!! I couldn’t be happier to have chosen Jackie as our MU artist. Definitely recommend hiring her for your next MU needs!!

After that wedding I began to take classes because I knew if I wanted to be a great artist I would have to learn the skill and understand the business. Taking the degree in Marketing that I had earned from Texas Southern University and the Master’s in Business Administration i poured it all in to my new established business .

Our coordinators Janeen and Jackie were awesome! They helped make the day flow perfectly and if we needed anything they were on top of it! The DJ was great as well and was included in the package. The only compliant I have was that they ran out of food even though less people showed up then in our final guest count. We got the steak option and it was delicious but the portions they gave out were small and they somehow still ran out...

Hey there! I'm Manny, based in Houston, TX. Since 2020, I've been capturing authentic moments—those real, raw, joyful times that make your wedding day uniquely yours. From slipping into your wedding dress to laughing with your best friend and dancing all night, I'll be your #1 sidekick with a camera. I believe love is colorful, messy, full of electric laughter, stolen kisses, and maybe a cheeky butt grab or two. If that sounds like you, I’m your photographer. Let’s connect and start planning your forever and always. At Manuel Ayala Photography, we believe "Y’all means All."

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Manny was probably the best decision we could've made for our wedding day. We happened to snag a free engagement photoshoot from him while he was traveling in our area, and we didn't expect to book him for our wedding because he lived out of state, so we assumed that flying him out would be too expensive. However, when we were looking for DC-based photographers, we weren't finding anyone who had the bright, joyful style that we saw in Manny's photos, and all the local photographers were SO expensive anyway. So, we decided to reach out to Manny to see if we could work something out, and thank goodness we did!! Manny helped create a custom package that worked within our budget, and then he exceeded all of his promises anyway. He delivered more photos than promised, faster than promised. The night of our wedding, he had posted a cute informal video compilation on his Instagram (we hadn't purchased videography). He had sneak peeks ready ahead of schedule, and there were so many! He surprised us with a second shooter (a friend of his who is also a wedding photographer), polaroids, and even some drone photography of our venue. Best of all, the photos were absolutely beautiful. They captured every important moment, and everything looked just as beautiful and joyful as they felt on that day. The editing was flattering without being overdone. For example, my wife and I both had slightly different shades of white outfits--mine being ivory and hers being pure white--and I can tell from the guest photos that that didn't photograph well, with the bright August sun creating a blue light effect on the pure white outfit. But, Manny obviously took the time to edit every photo painstakingly, because his photos still look perfect. We cherish every one of them and have looked at them again and again. My wife's parents (who are very particular) were so impressed with the photos that they've also considered booking him for future anniversary shoots. I think the most important thing I can say about Manny is that he obviously loves his job. With the kind of happiness that he radiates and the way he goes above and beyond without being asked, you can just see that this is more than work to him. He loves to celebrate love. If you've taken the time to read this review, please go ahead and book with Manny. I promise you won't regret it!

DJ Charlie is Bilingual in English and Spanish, with over 10 years of experience in weddings! DJ Charlie is also well-versed in all genres and takes pride in getting every guest onto the dance floor to celebrate the newlyweds.

We absolutely ADORE Carlos Ramirez and his Photo Booth Assistant, Sofia! It was sheer luck that we found him, and he was absolutely perfect in every way. Carlos made contact with us regularly, walked us through how to use the Vibo app, worked with our venue coordinators at Crystal Ballroom at the Rice (Alexis Kent), worked with our planners at Whimsical Creative (Jen Molina), had a week-of call to finalize details and asked us all the right questions, listened to all our needs, and gave great suggestions for things that made our night special that never would have even occurred to us! Oh… and the lighting he provided in the ballroom was spectacular! Our venue and planner are even adding him to their preferred vendor list, which makes me so happy to know. I really can’t praise Carlos and Sofia enough! They read the crowd with perfect accuracy. The dance floor was never empty, and the photo booth was in constant use. Our guests had an absolute blast! Carlos is not only a great artist but now a new friend. If you’re lucky enough to see this post and want more detailed feedback, please DM me on Facebook and put - DJ CHARLIE ENTERTAINMENT in the first line so I’ll notice it.

He was fun & upbeat, while at the same time very professional. He kept the party going with seamless transitions and an incredible mix that had all our guests dancing and laughing for hours. As the bride, I was so impressed with how communicative and flexible he was - not only in the weeks leading up to the wedding, but also on the night, perfectly adapting the schedule to ensure everything flowed smoothly. I had all of my engaged friends asking who our DJ was so they could use him for our wedding. I would give EC Entertainment and DJ Rob a 10/10 and highly recommend him to make your wedding the best night of your life!
