Meredith Sent on 07/20/2022CivicPhotos is Great
Barett Henry and his team were wonderful to work with! Barett photographed our engagement photos, bridals, and wedding and we have received so many compliments on them all. He made us feel comfortable and was full of great ideas. He was very responsive and so easy to communicate with over the period of almost an entire year. Truly one of the easiest and best vendors we worked with. We’re so happy we have the memories of our wedding captured in his beautiful photos! -

Keren Sent on 04/29/2024The BEST Wedding Photographers!
Finding and hiring Civic Photos was the absolute best thing we did to make all our wedding photography dreams come true. They listened to everything we wanted for our wedding and went above and beyond. The pictures they captured of my husband, and I are my favorite and even helped us come up with the timeline to get the best lighting and poses for photos. I cannot say enough amazing things about these wonderful photographers (Barett and his wife). The photos were absolutely breath taking and they delivered them to us in record time. They are extremely professional and easy to work with. Definitely recommend! -

Danh Sent on 01/31/2024You Need to Hire Barett ASAP!
As the title says, whatever photography need you have upcoming you need to talk to Barrett! Incredibly professional in all aspects of what you need from your photographer! We reached out to Barrett after deciding our previous photographer wasn't to our liking and he quickly calmed our worries about making the switch from his beginning presentation. We loved his photography style as it was very editorial, made for magazines! Which made sense as part of his presentation included magazine spreads that previous couples were in.
Barrett himself is very detailed oriented, which is what you need on your wedding day. His wife, Yorlin, was also a wonderful assistant and second shooter. She has quite the calming influence and was an immense help to my wife during the wedding day.
Back to the photography, its very clear that Barrett is very intentional with every photograph he takes. The attention to every lighting detail, background, color, etc is evident in the photos he returns. He was also able to give us next day sneak peeks on some of the photos and gave us our whole wedding photos TWO DAYS after our wedding! TWO DAYS! Unheard of, but it just speaks to how Barrett pays attention to the setup of the photos before taking them, allowing him to have minimal touch up or editing in the photos.
We can't thank Barrett and Yorlin for far exceeding our any expectations that we could possibly have. You can't possibly go wrong with this husband/wife duo. Be prepared to be blown away by your photos. Your photos are something that you should be completely happy with, as it'll last a lifetime. Sadly, we won't have another wedding for Barrett to shoot with us, so we are hoping this review will give you the final push you need to book Civic Photos.
Thank you Barrett and Yorlin from Danh/Vannie! You guys have truly blessed us with your work! -

Norma Sent on 12/20/2023Absolute Favorite Vendor!!
LOOK NO FURTHER!! Civic photos was an absolute joy to work with throughout our engagement and wedding. TLDR: Civic photos is fabulous for quality photos on a budget, gave us unlimited time, and were quick turnaround on getting photos back to us. Would 100% use them again! We hired Barett and Yorlin after a terrible engagement shoot with a different vendor, and we're so glad we did. We did a package for an engagement shoot, bridals, and our wedding/reception. One of the reasons we hired them was because they did not put a time limit on how long we had them during our wedding day. They were there from the beginning until the end, and I didn't have to worry about how much it would cost us if they were there for an extra hour or whatever. One less thing to worry about. For the engagement shoot, we took photos near rice university, Herman park, and downtown Houston with three changes of clothes. We even brought our dogs to join in! Barett did this shoot, and we were incredibly comfortable - even my husband (who's normally a little awkward with photos) looked incredibly natural in them!
Barett made sure to get all sorts of angles with various lighting, you'd think we went to several different venues. Both Barett and Yorlin did my bridals, which took place at the Junior League of Houston. Their eye for detail was so impressive — they would fix and floof my dress as needed I had a large dress so it was very appreciated), have me stand in certain spots to capture certain lighting. In fact, my favorite photo from this entire shoot was taken on a couch in a bathroom! Barett said to trust them, and their vision for the shot was spectacular.
We did our getting ready photos at Whitehall, ceremony at the Co-cathedral of the Sacred Heart, and reception at the Junior League. They got all the details in my bridal suite as well as the groom's getting ready photos. We didn't really have a way of getting to the church — Yorlin and Barett gave me a ride in my dress and everything! The cathedral has strict guidelines for photographers, and Barett and Yorlin were great at respecting/complying with those rules WHILE still getting all the shots! My husband and I had time during the cocktail hour for photos together with Barett, while Yorlin photographed our guests and the details at the cocktail hour and the room at our reception. They were very discreet in taking photos throughout the reception, which was really appreciated. I could focus on
conversations with our friends and family, but if we ever needed a quick photo, one of the two was always there! We went on our honeymoon for two weeks after the wedding, and all our edited photos were ready for us by the time we came back! Not to mention, they gave us every photo they took of the day — it was about 7,000 photos! I prefer this to having a photographer send me some but not all and letting me pick which one we like better. Of course, after all three shoots Barett sent us sneak peaks just a few hours later. He even had our wedding published in Modern Luxury Houston magazine, which was really neat! We loved Civic Photos, and I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again. -

They were there for all of it and captured everything beautifully! Civic captured my brothers wedding 10 years ago, and I couldn’t be happier that I took his recommendation and hired Barett for my wedding! -

Barrett and his wife did an amazing job on our wedding photos! They were both very professional and most importantly responsive. He always got back to me very quickly and we got our photos back within in a week. We had a very large bridal party and they did a great job directing everyone to get the shots and in a short amount of time. Thank y’all so much!! -

Kathy Sent on 01/12/2022Amazing Photographer!
I am so impressed with my engagement, bridal, and wedding pictures! I really love the editorial style that Barett shoots. He’s the perfect balance of being open to the poses you want, but also having directions so you don’t feel awkward. His wife was his assistant at my wedding. She was so kind and helpful!
The awesome part is I would get the final products within the week! I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. It was a pleasure working with him!

Melinda Sent on 01/10/2022Experienced Team Delivers Quality Images
Barett and Yorlin were awesome to work with. We booked a wedding package with Civic Photos that included a bridal portrait session, an all day wedding session for the day of and a wedding album. We chose to have an engagement session instead of a bridal portrait session which wasn’t a problem. I appreciated not having a time limit on the day of our wedding. Barett and Yorlin were flexible with when and where we started shooting and they stayed present throughout the entirety of the wedding capturing it all. They make an awesome team and it was especially refreshing on our wedding day.
Throughout our correspondence, Barett was extremely professional and prompt in his responses. And I’m beyond satisfied with the amount of time it took to receive ALL of our wedding images. (Only 6 days!!)
All of this to say: if you’re wanting to book with an experienced team who makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and who delivers quality service, BOOK WITH CIVIC PHOTOS. -

Katherine Sent on 11/15/2021Outstanding!
Barett and his wife were an absolute joy to work with. We used them for our engagement photos, small covid ceremony, and our large wedding. I can’t say enough good things about these too. Barett will respond to your text, call, or email almost instantly. If you have planned a wedding, then you know how valuable that is. He gives direction well and has the eye of a true artist. For someone who doesn’t love their picture being taken, this was a huge relief. The photos are beautiful, and on top of that, he gets them to you in a matter of days (as in less than a week!) There is also something to be said about witnessing a husband and wife collaborate so beautifully while you yourself are building a marriage. Love these two and love the memories they have captured for us! -

Victoria Sent on 10/25/2021I can not say enough great things about my experience with CivicPhotos! From the engagement photos to the wedding he went above and beyond!
When I first talked to Barett about my vision for the wedding, he immediatly knew what I was looking for. He captured our engagement photos, bridal shower and wedding and always had new creative ideas to make our photos unique and timeless! Him and his team were always extremely professional, kind and fun to work with. For my husband and I who are not used to being in front of the camera, they always made us feel comfortable and gave lots of direction which I greatly appreciated. Looking back on all of our gorgeous photos, I continue to be so happy with my decision to work with CivicPhotos! -

Nearly four years after our wedding and I still get so excited looking through our wedding photos. Civic Photos did a wonderful job capturing our big day.

My husband and I are extremely impressed with this photography service. Barett and his wife make an excellent photography team. They worked through their flow seamlessly and made sure to ask what photos we would love to have. They made us feel comfortable and were super easy to work with. A few of my wedding guests even commented on how kind and professional they were. We received our photos sooner than we anticipated. We are extremely happy with our photos and look forward to enjoying them for years to come. -

Rafaella Sent on 02/02/2021The BEST photographer in Houston! Seriously!
We had SUCH a fantastic experience with CivicPhotos! They were incredibly professional and easy to work with. CivicPhotos has an impeccable artistic vision to make sure your day is expertly captured. My husband and I booked them for our engagement photos, bridal portraits and for our wedding, and we cannot recommend them enough! Our wedding had to be moved due to COVID and Barrett and his wife were so understanding and accommodating. I lost weight the week of our wedding, and my dress was dragging a lot. Barrett’s wife helped me with bustling my dress and securing it with safety pins so that I could dance with my guests, and it was so so helpful! The photos turned out so beautiful — they are beyond my highest expectations! I am so pleased with our photos and with their professionalism. We received a sneak peak of our wedding photos a day after our wedding, and they promptly sent us the rest (fully edited) barely a week later, with a physical version on an USB key as well. I love how willing they are to share all photos of our big day with their gorgeous editing style! I cannot wait to get these photos framed and displayed in our home! There is a reason that they are award winners in Houston. The photographer was the most important vendor for us, and I am so glad that we chose well. Do not hesitate to work with them, you will love it! -

Barett at Civic Photos was such a JOY to work with from the very beginning! I had seen his work on social media and it was definitely the direction I wanted to go for our wedding photos - once we met in person, I knew Barett was the perfect match for what we wanted for our day! Civic Photos ended up doing our engagement pictures, a SECOND engagement session (with COVID we wanted something extra special), my bridals, and our wedding day - we got EVERY SINGLE PHOTO from our sessions. I HIGHLY recommend Civic Photos to capture your special day/moments - it was such a joy to work with and we and our guests/family/friends have beautiful photos to showcase our special day! Thank you Barett! -

CivicPhotos went above and beyond to provide professional and intimate photos. We don’t naturally love to be in front of the camera but they made us feel so comfortable and confident. We received our photos incredibly fast and were so excited to share the incredibly beautiful shots that truly captured our emotion in an elegant way. We can’t fully express our gratitude for their genuine care for us as a couple that made it possible for our wedding day moments to be made into lasting memories both for us and our friends and family. -

CivicPhotos are absolutely beautiful! The photos they shot for our wedding are stunning and perfectly capture our love for one another on our special day. They were very flexible and accommodating when we had to make some last minute changes to our wedding and they worked so well with us. We felt very comfortable working with them and they helped guide us in different ways to pose and feel at ease in front of the camera. I am so happy we decided on CivicPhotos to shoot for our wedding day! -

Vincent Sent on 02/22/2020Civicphotos is legit. Best in houston
Barett and his Wife Yorlin were truly amazing and made our engagement session and wedding a dream come true. Their communication and enthusiasm are infectious. They will make you feel comfortable during your photo sessions. They are very easy to work with and are flexible with time. They know all the right poses to do and photo locations around Houston. What I was most impressed with was their ability to remain blend in at our wedding. Some photos I did not even know they were around to take but I was so happy that they did. Do yourself a favor and hire Civic Photos. Best decision you will ever make. -
