Covenant Pictures

Working with Melvin and his team at Covenant Photography in Houston was a fantastic experience from start to finish. He was professional, approachable, and knew exactly how to make everyone feel comfortable—his sense of humor was the cherry on top. We went with their photo video platinum package, and it turned out to be a great investment: the wedding video and teaser were beautifully produced, our photos looked amazing, and the photobooth was a hit with our guests. Throughout the day, Melvin’s friendly demeanor and well-organized approach made everything run smoothly. The quality of his work truly stands out, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for a talented, down-to-earth team to capture your wedding day, Covenant Photography is the way to go.

I have to start by saying that Melvin was an excellent photographer during our engagement shoot and our wedding. We got married in Texas May 2024 and received our photos AND videos by August (that was an extremely fast turnaround time!). I'm going to talk about our experience during the engagement shoot, wedding, and post wedding! During our engagement shoot - I already told Melvin that my husband and I were not photogenic people and are very awkward in posing for photos. Melvin KNEW just exactly what words to say and the placement of our hands and feet and our bodies to make the photos look seamless. The shoot itself was so much FUN. It felt like Melvin became our friend and we were just all hanging out to take a bunch of cute and romantic photos. I rate his engagement and professionalism a solid 10/10. The Wedding - I commend Melvin for his flexibility. He was able to meet in person with me to calm me down and make sure we both agree on the timeline and shots to be taken. Melvin came up with a timeline that I had to review and give back to him. Melvin was ON TIME and had managed to become our wedding planner almost because of how well he knew how to work weddings and how stressful it is. Because we worked out everything in advance, we actually had enough time to capture lots of photos prior to the ceremony. I have to say this - MELVIN, our guests LOVED you! They appreciate how you would come up to them and take their photos. Months later after I show them our photos they often say HOW nice you were to them and how great you were with ensuring you captured everything. Our Entourage wouldn't stop talking about you! One of my bridesmaids even used your "tickle each other" for the candid pic tip on her best friend's wedding day because their photographer didn't know anything about engaging his photo subjects! Post Wedding - as part of our package, Melvin printed out two canvas prints of our wedding photos and a wedding album. He got the date wrong on the wedding album so after I reached out to him, he sent out another album for free (as he should! lol). Overall, Melvin and his team of 2-3 other photographers on our wedding day were amazing and extremely well-loved and appreciated by our guests! Our entourage appreciated your sassiness too! Again 10/10 for your dedication and knowledge! thank you so very much!!

I cannot express how thrilled I am with the exceptional work of our photographer on our wedding day! From the very first moment, they made us feel comfortable and relaxed. The creativity and attention to detail were remarkable, and I can’t wait to see our wedding photos! If you're looking for someone who is not only talented but also a joy to work with, I wholeheartedly recommend Covenant Pictures! Melvin is awesome! Thank you for preserving our memories so beautifully!

This team is unstoppable! They are so helpful in describing how to get beautiful and natural photos! I loved the energy and professionalism shown. They also have the best turn around. Melvin is such an incredible presence on the day of as well!

good

I would like to thank Melvin and his team for making our special day so rememerable. There are so many good things to say. He has a great personality, is incredibly nice, and definitely has great ideas to help you laugh and capture amazing photos. My husband and I had an amazing engagement photo shoot with him and even more so on our wedding day. The weather wasn't what I wanted it to be on my wedding day, but Melvin made it happen and captured many great photos for us to cherish for a lifetime. I highly recommend Covenant Pictures. Great personality, great price, amazing quality, and quick turnaround time.

Melvin was so kind, went above and beyond for me, and extremely communicative! We loved our wedding photos and especially the videos!!!

Would recommend 200%! Amazing quality, phenomenal flexibility, and extremely friendly and professional. Melvin was great to work with and gave us a very quick turn around for our photos. Me and my fiancé fell in love with everything.

If you're looking for a photographer melvin is the one for you, he took so many pictures he had the weeding photos ready for us in less thank a week I'm so glade I came across this page to hire him.

Melvin and his team are just AMAZING to work with! My fiancé and I took engagement photos with Melvin, I took my bridal portraits with Melvin, and he was there on our wedding for photography and videography! Every step of the way, Melvin was very professional, caring, and flexible with TIME, which I greatly appreciated! Melvin was wonderful with the whole communication process, he even took some phone calls happening late in the evening and always responded to my texts quickly. Melvin will take GREAT care of all your details, he makes the actual photo sessions feel comfortable and suggests lots of poses! On our wedding day, Melvin and his team worked so hard to capture every moment, he is so hard working, determined, and passionate about what he does! Highly recommend, and forever thankful. Thank you Melvin for making my wedding feel like your ONLY ONE! Danielle L. (SA, TX)

My fiancé and I had our engagement photos taken by Melvin and the experience was amazing beyond words. We chose two locations and Melvin was very flexible with the time. My fiancé is not someone that is keen on getting his pictures taken, but Melvin made him very comfortable and gave him explicit instructions on what to do and how to pose. I showed Melvin some inspirational photos on my Pinterest board and he made sure to make my vision come true. The photo session was very fun and enjoyable; we even made a TikTok! My fiancé had nothing but good things to say about the session with Melvin on our drive home and that's how I know we went with the right person. We are so excited to work with Melvin and his team on our wedding day. If you want a photographer that cares about you, communicates well, provides quality work, then Melvin is your guy.

Melvin was so great to work with! He made my bridals shoot so much fun and kept me laughing for the best candid pictures. He took his time with posing and making sure the lighting and angles were perfect. I also received my gallery not just a few hours after the shoot!! My friends asked if this man sleeps lol! I live in an area with a lot of photographers in the wedding industry but still choose to go with Melvin since he has the best packages and consistently delivers beautiful light and airy pictures that are timeless. I am so excited to see what Melvin's team accomplishes on my wedding day and I am so glad that I went with Covenant Pictures.

Covenant pictures is an amazing photography company! If you’re thinking about booking with them do not hesitate! My now husband and I booked with covenant pictures for our wedding day and we were blown away by how beautiful our pictures came out. Melvin captured the most special moments for us to perfection, and was very committed to getting the perfect shot! Melvin also always kept an open line of communication with us making it very easy to get in touch with him and super flexible with anything we needed. Lastly, he got our content finished and ready for us in less than 2 weeks! There services are unmatched in my option and their company is run by great people who love doing their job! If you are a bride looking for an OUTSTANDING wedding photographer, this is the company to go with! We are already looking forward to the next time we can book them.(Hopefully a maternity shoot in the near future lol)

Melvin was fantastic at our engagement shoot! We are both pretty camera shy but Melvin gave us clear direction on how to pose and somehow made us look so natural. He was also very friendly and made the shoot fun and relaxing. Definitely highly recommend him, especially if you’re a little nervous about posing!

Melvin and his team at Covenant Pictures were absolutely amazing! Theyre servive was beyond incredible. Even 9 months after having our special occasion of celebrating our wedding, we have had guests personally asking for his contact information as they were so impressed by his service for the entire day. The package pricing was amazing, all the items you receive for each package was amazing and convenient so we didn't have to worry about booking several different vendors. We will definitely utilize him for future services whenever we look forward to renewing our vows. He and his team captured the best and most candid moments via video and pictures. Look no further, Melvin is an amazing communicatir, and makes your vision come to life. We received more than we ever thought we could have from a photographer. Melvin, thanks for being amazing and going above and beyond for our special day and leading up to it!

Melvin and his team were very professional and fun! Communication was always on point and never confusing. His recommendations were super helpful! The quality of service was amazing for the price we paid. We had a budget in mind and he fit right into it with extras we didn’t expect. All in all, Melvin took our engagement and wedding photos. Our package was $1,999 for 2 photographers, 2 large canvases, 1 specialized photo album. I would highly recommend Melvin and his team for any special event!

Covenant pictures was amazing, we hired Melvin for our wedding and he was great, we absolutely loved his work! I will forever recommend him to anyone who is looking for professionalism!

Melvin did an amazing job! He captured our most precious moments and the pictures look stunning! He was very careful to make sure he understood our (the couple) vision. He was creative and kept the photos light and airy, and did his best to get the most flattering angle.

My engagement photos are amazing! I love the direction that he gives! Never let’s you take an unflattering photo!

These guys are amazing! Melvin is one of our photographers and we just did our bridal shoot… OH MY GOSH, YES! Super patient and fun and I can’t wait for the official wedding day and the pictures to come! Also turn around time was super quick for photos. Photo shoot was on Sunday and I just got them today (Thursday) and the photos are gorgeous. Melvin made sure to get exactly what I wanted and made me feel beautiful. Thank you thank you, Melvin!

Melvin and his videography partner were amazing!!! They drive all the way from Houston, to our wedding in Keller, TX!!! Throughout the whole process, Melvin was always in contact with us and was constantly making sure we were ready for our big day!! Even after we received our pictures and videos, they always made sure we were completely satisfied. They were early and so happy to be there with us on our wedding day. They were always on top of everything and got every shot we needed, wanted, and even way more than we expected!! We got a highlight and trailer video with our package and they were amazing. It definitely made me cry because it captured every amazing detail of our special day. They got along so well with our family and guests, and everyone loved them!! Their turn around time is fast, but we even got our pictures and videos back a couple weeks before their expected turn around time. Talk about amazing customer service! Definitely book with Covenant Pictures because you get what you paid for and much more!

Videographer Review - I hope I can help a few brides struggling to find someone! 🎥 https://youtu.be/UYtaZxPPwGc Covenant Pictures was incredible & worth every penny. I just received my Highlight reel/media clips & my husband and I cried our way through it! They were extremely professional and kind to me. A week before the wedding they went over my schedule with me and I never felt strained or stressed for time on my wedding day. They worked around my photographer & were very polite. I believe they service all over Texas. My wedding was in Dripping Springs, 3/31 at the Terrace club. Feel free to DM me if you have questions! I can't get over my video lol a total dream!

We can't thank Melvin and his team enough! They did an awesome job with our wedding day and engagement shoot. We had our wedding recently at The Springs in Cypress and Melvin was able to provide us with all of our photos in 5 days. What an amazing turn around! We chose Melvin because of how bright and vibrant his photos are. He was very cooperative and was quick to respond with questions, comments and any other concerns we had. He made taking pictures enjoyable and was really easy to work with. We highly recommend Melvin and his team to anyone who is looking for a beautifully photographed wedding!

Fast turn around, beautiful pictures Melvin was a dream to work with! We booked him for our wedding and engagement shoot; both were at The Springs Cypress location. I love his light, bright, and airy style and think it's perfect for the chateau! He's easy to talk to, instructs you how to pose, and made taking photos fun and easy. He boosts our confidence and posed us in ways that felt natural and made us feel beautiful! He's also super responsive and answered all of our questions or concerns quickly. And the turnaround time for your pictures is lightening fast! You won't have to wait months or even weeks to get your pictures! Our wedding was April 22 and just 5 days later he's already sent ALL of our wedding photos.We loved our pictures and we loved working with him! We can't recommend him enough

We recently had our engagement session with Melvin and it was so much fun working with him! He was punctual, had great ideas on locations for the shoot, was super helpful in posing us, and overall just very easy to work with and he made the shoot fun. Great communication, and also got us our edited photos back in just a few short weeks. I highly recommend Melvin with Covenant Pictures and am excited to work with him again on our wedding day.

We used this vendor for our videographer. They were very professional and worked great for our needs. They even made us a highlight video with some of our own footage from a cell phone as we requested! We highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of working with Melvin for our wedding for photobooth and videography. He was prompt to respond to email and texts, arrived on time and had great energy throughout the day. He was respectful of the photographer and made us feel very comfortable. Would recommend him in a heartbeat! Very pleased with our experience.

Melvin is such a joy to work with. He shot my bridals last week & was so fun, gave such great direction & the results are stunning! Can’t wait to work with him again for my wedding. Highly recommend working with him if you are getting married in the Houston area!

Covenant Pictures was amazing to work with! They made sure we stayed on time, got the best lighting and enjoyed ourselves! They were so helpful with posing and making sure everything was caught in the best angle! Great communication from beginning to the end! It was such a pleasure to have them document our wedding!

Melvin is the best! His pictures are beautiful and the reason behind that is because he knows how to make you move around to get the perfect picture. If you want someone professional, great with communication and makes you feel comfortable then hire Melvin. We did our engagement shoot and are so excited to have him at our wedding!

Melvin and his entire team at Covenant Pictures are incredible, we have nothing, but the highest praise to say about his work. From the moment we met him to getting our pictures back, everything has been wonderful! His communication throughout the year leading up to our wedding was always constant. Although he works with hundreds of couples, he never made us feel like a number. He's incredibly detail oriented, has a heart of gold and truly makes you feel so special. We feel genuinely lucky that he was able to capture our special day and moments that we will cherish forever. We can't thank him enough l! We plan to continue working with him throughout life to continue capturing life's milestones .

Melvin and his team were absolutely incredible to have services from on our special day! I could not consider having a better company to capture our most precious moments on video, pictures, and their photobooth. The turnaround time to receive our personalized photos, videos, and more back was well before our estimated date. Again, this team is beyond AMAZING! If you are looking for the absolute best photography and videography team with very reasonable pricing, Covenant Pictures is the way to go! Also, they are so sweet, and sincere, and have a great spirit to capture the most genuine and candid moments. The fact that they travel is a plus too! Thank you for an incredible day that we will be able to relive again over and over with family and friends!

Me and my Husband could not be happier with the results Covenant pictures created for us! We had their videographer package and it’s was absolutely perfect for us! I definitely and highly recommend you choose them for your videographer needs. 100% in budget for us and contributes to your needs/wants. And will make sure you and your spouse are completely satisfied with their services! Absolutely nothing to complain about! They were great for our special day!

Melvin and his team did such a fantastic job from start to end with all of our photography and videography needs! All of our photos turned out so beautiful and we absolutely love our movie & trailers! From the beginning he has always done a fantastic job with communication and speedy service!! I’ve heard so many stories of brides having to wait forever for their photos or video and he had them ready within 6 weeks or so! I was also really impressed how he was so willing to go out of his way to drive and meet me outside of town to help my childhood dreams come true of having my bridal photos in the bluebonnets!! I do wish I would have been a little more extensive in the requested shot list because some photos that I assumed would be taken I later realized were never taken. For example, photos with just my mom (the only one was when she was buttoning up my dress) or the dessert station that I spent so much time designing. However at the end of the day I can’t dock his rating over this because he really went above and beyond providing me 800+ edited photos plus all raw files and allowed me to be active in helping with the photo book until it was just right - most people totally wouldn’t have had his patience but instead he went above and beyond to make me happy! If you want great service from start to end and to feel like you got a great value for what you paid, choose Melvin!

Covenant Pictures is AMAZING! From the first day we hired Melvin, he was always quick to respond to emails or texts! Melvin keeps you very informed and is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work! On our wedding day, he made us feel so comfortable. He had our whole bridal party laughing and having fun! At the end of the evening, he stole us away for about 10-15 minutes to do a sunset shoot and the photos turned out beautiful!!! We received our photos within a month of our wedding! The photos are STUNNING! Honestly, we could not ask for a better photographer to shoot our wedding! We appreciate and thank you Melvin!!

Melvin and his videographer were absolutely incredible! Not only were they early and remained punctual, Melvin created my entire timeline for my reception! He took that work away from me and I couldn’t be more grateful! He was fun, outgoing, professional, hilarious, and he definitely made sure to hype EVERYONE up to make sure he captured those incredible shots! If you’re looking for a team who keeps their word, is affordable, and will make your event FUN, you NEED Covenant Pictures!!

Hiring Melvin for our wedding photography was the best decision we could’ve made and he was definitely our favorite vendor on our big day. Melvin not only spent 10 hours the day-of shooting our wedding, but also took our engagement photos and my bridal portraits. All of his work turned out absolutely beautiful and I will treasure it forever. I also have to commend him for his quick turnaround time and prompt communication. We received all of our wedding photos within one month and all of the engagement and bridal photos within a week. Thank you, Melvin!!

Covenant was absolutely amazing. Prompt, Profesional, and Polite! Melvin and his crew were very flexible and both our engagement shots and wedding photos turned out so beautiful. Highly recommend 👌

Covenant Pictures is amazing!! The communication and service is top notch. Gerardo was my videographer for my wedding and he was very kind and caught moments I didn’t even know he was around for. My contract stated I would receive my video 4-8 weeks after my event and I was totally okay with that. Melvin was able to get it back to me 9 days after my event and I was so shocked with the quick turnaround. I absolutely love my video and quality and would book Covenant Pictures again. 10 star service!!

Covenant shot our wedding a few years ago and my wife and I still talk to this day about the quality of the end product and the pleasure it was to work with Melvin. It truly was the best day of our lives and Melvin captured the day perfectly.  He was very amenable to our schedule and asks. He brings professionalism, creativity, and joy to his work that is perfect for making everyone feel comfortable and getting one-of-a-kind pictures. I can’t recommend Melvin and Covenant enough!

Melvin was such a pleasure to work with. His work is AMAZING and speaks for itself. My husband and I are incredibly awkward in front of the camera, but Melvin made us feel so comfortable and we had a blast working with him! He walked us through the day and directed everyone on where to stand and how to pose for the perfect shots without being demanding or taking the fun out of the day. Melvin is a professional and knows exactly what he's doing. He's truly an expert at his craft. Not only is his work amazing but he returned our pictures within TWO WEEKS!!! Seriously, I have nothing but great things to say about him, his work exceeded far beyond my expectations. The quality of his work belong in magazines and editorials! My husband and I look amazing in all of our pictures, I don't know what we would have done without his guidance that day! Trust me, just book Melvin with Covenant Pictures, you won't regret it!

When I started my journey to wedding day, the #1 vendor on my list was a photographer & videographer team. Capturing our memories and freeze framing time is so important, because it's a once in a lifetime moment and you will never have a do-over! When we found Covenant Pictures at the bridal show in Galveston, we actually had an answered prayer! Right from the start, Melvin gave us a 100% and that drive and determination lasted right up to the last email when he sent us our final links to everything wedding! Melvin and his team were truly amazing. He was always accessible, responsive, on time, helpful, and professional. I knew even when I had covid and got really sick, Melvin was right there making sure all my wishes were coming true. ALSO, a BONUS. He's fun, light-hearted, and easy to work with. We were once strangers, but now feel like friends. That's just Melvin. He made sure our vision, was his vision. What more could a bride want? I truly highly recommend Covenant Pictures. Thank you Melvin for making our dreams come true! God bless you, Sheri & Wayne

Melvin and his crew were simply amazing. He went over and beyond every expectation we had for him. Our wedding and engagement pictures were superb. Our highlight video is simply perfection as is our movie and wedding video footage. I give Melvin and Covenant pictures 5 stars only because I can not give 10 stars. Thank you my friend. This groom is blessed by your work and your friendship. My wife and I are pleased beyond words and highly recommend Melvin for all your wedding or photography needs.

Melvin and his team did a wonderful job with my engagement and wedding photos! They were professional, patient, affordable and produced high quality work!

We had an AMAZING EXPERIENCE with Melvin from Covenant Pictures! From the very beginning, Melvin was quick in his communication, and he was phenomenal at making us feel comfortable and like ourselves throughout both our engagement and wedding shoots. He just sent over our wedding gallery only a month out from our wedding (5/29), so super quick with the delivery. He really did an amazing job. The pictures look spectacular.
