We had such an amazing experience with Veyburry!! Not only is Melvin's talent one of a kind and simply amazing, but he also made us feel so comfortable! He is also great with communication! Planning a wedding is so much more difficult with a vendor that doesn't respond to emails and such! Not Melvin!! He was great! Responded quickly and was happy to answer any questions we had! I am so happy w/ our engagement photos & can not wait for the wedding! Melvin of Veybury was Amazing! We can not imagine anyone other than Veyburry ever taking our photo for the rest of our lives! Thank you Melvin!

Melvin was a great and professional photographer. He made us feel special, he was always on time, and flexible to work with. If you get the pleasure of working with him you will be able to tell that he truly enjoys & loves photography, and his pictures are a vivid statement. He was always trying to make us feel comfortable and always was asking us what we liked or disliked. He is also very funny, I really love that. He is super patient and he is always looking for the perfect shot and the client best interest. I will definitely work again with him. His pictures will make me relive those special moments on my wedding!!!

5 Stars! Absolutely Amazing Wedding Photographer

From the moment we booked Melvin for our wedding, we knew we made the right choice. He was professional, organized, and truly cared about making our day perfect. We got married on March 15, 2025, in Houston, TX, and Melvin was with us every step of the way.

Months before the wedding, he sent us thoughtful emails with tips, guidance, and follow-ups—everything from how to prepare for the day to what to expect. It really took the stress out of planning. On the wedding day, he was more than just our photographer; he was a timekeeper, making sure everything ran smoothly and that no special moment was missed. His attention to detail was absolutely amazing, and he even helped keep me calm and relaxed during the day.

One of the highlights of our wedding was the "First Look" with my groom. Melvin made it so easy to capture this moment and let us have 5-10 minutes alone before everything began. We exchanged private vows and a prayer during that time, and I’m so glad we did it that way. It was a quiet, intimate moment that I'll always cherish.

Melvin delivered our full gallery of photos just 72 hours after the wedding! We were blown away by how quickly he worked, and the quality was incredible. The photos truly captured every emotion and detail, from the big moments to the little ones. We cannot thank Melvin enough for helping us have the wedding of our dreams.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also incredibly dedicated and personable, I cannot recommend Melvin enough. He made our day so much easier and more enjoyable, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!

Thank you again, Melvin

Unforgettable Moments, Unmatched Quality: My Experience with Covenant Pictures

I chose Covenant Pictures to photograph my wedding, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Melvin, the photographer, arrived an hour early, demonstrating his professionalism from the start. He began by capturing the scenic details of our outdoor venue with a drone, adding a spectacular dimension to our album.

Throughout the day, Melvin was incredibly helpful, providing clear direction during the preparation phase and managing our photoshoots with ease. He documented every significant moment, from our matching pajamas to my mother placing the veil on me, and my father's emotional first look.

We selected the Platinum Combo package, which included both video and a photobooth, and we were not disappointed. The quality of the images, videos, and the photobooth experience was exceptional, offering much more than we had anticipated for the investment.

The feedback from our guests, family, and bridal party was overwhelmingly positive, noting the professionalism of Melvin and his team. After receiving our photos and videos, the compliments continued, with my best friend even calling to express how impressed she was with the results.

I highly recommend Covenant Pictures. They not only captured our special day but elevated it with their skill and dedication.

Awesome Photobooth!

We rented Funfun photobooth for our wedding! Melvin showed up early to set up and tested everything to make sure it was running smoothly. The photobooth included a backdrop and unlimited photo print outs. We were allowed us to customize our photobooth layout design! We added our names and a cute hashtag! The photobooth was a major hit among our guests, everyone loved it! We're so glad we decided to get a photobooth in lieu of wedding favors! We were also sent us a link to access all of the digital copies of the photobooth pictures. So much easier for us to see the digital versions while letting all our guests keep the physical copies as souvenirs.

Great photographer!

I had the pleasure of hiring Melvin to be our wedding photographer when he was first starting out, and he was everything we were hoping for. Even though we'd hired him at a discount through a wedding boutique, he refused to take other customers who offered him full payment to abandon us on our wedding day. At the time, we couldn't afford to pay him more, so his reliability and genuine respect for his customers made a big impression on us. The photos we got at the end we're truly beautiful. I'm a terrible photo taker, so I was worried about how it would turn out, but Melvin gave clear and professional directions and we ended up with spectacular albums. He went above and beyond for us in a lot of ways and we still talk him up as the best decision we made for our wedding.
