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! -

Great Experience
Civic photos met and exceeded my expectations for my wedding! My husband and I are not the most photogenic people out there but all our photos turned out fantastic. Barett does a great job of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. He took our engagements photos, my bridals and did our wedding. He was responsive and communicative the entire process. Even let us reschedule our engagement photos the night before because it was going to be 40-50 degrees during the shoot. His wife joined him on the wedding day to help shoot my girls and I. She was wonderful and they both had a great vision and got all the shots we needed and more. They were flexible with ideas from me and worked well with the videographer I hired. Could not have asked for a better duo to help capture my wedding day! -

Beautiful Photos
Barett took our engagement and wedding photos. The pictures are beautiful and exactly what we hoped for! During the engagement shoot, he was very responsive in texting back and helped us decide where we wanted to have our photoshoot. During the wedding, both him and his wife wanted to utilize the beautiful scenic areas of the venue and helped guide what kind of poses would work best for the entire bridal party. Their goal was to create a beautiful shot and they made sure little details/items would not be seen in the mirrors or in the background. We really do appreciate that! We are also impressed how quick he is on sending sneak peek photos and sending back our wedding album! We had our wedding a week ago and we already have our wedding photos! We are glad we chose Civicphotos!CivicPhotos's reply:
Thanks Vanessa!!! We loved documenting your wedding at the beautiful Peach Orchard! Thank you for having us document your special moments on your wedding day!! -

Absolutely flawless!
From start to finish the whole process was painless. Barett and Yorlin adapted to our schedule, accommodated our wants and needs and they also added their input/professional and creative touch. Too bad we only get married once, because I would definitely hire them again!CivicPhotos's reply:
Thanks for your kind words!!! We loved documenting every moment of your engagement session and moment of your beautiful wedding day! We are glad to have had a part in your precious memories on your special day! -

Consistently Excellent
After working with CivicPhotos for my sister's wedding, I knew that they would be my first choice for my wedding this year. The team is patient when we had to start photos later due to space constraints in our hotel as we got ready. They are very fast, efficient, and creative. They made sure to capture so many special moments that my husband and I hadn't thought of but love so much. I appreciate them making sure we had some time to eat during the cocktail hour as well! -

Norma H. 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.CivicPhotos's reply:
Thanks so much Norma for your kind words!!! We loved documenting every moment of your wedding journey! We are so happy that you are happy with all your photographic stories captured! It was also lovely to see your wedding being featured in Modern Luxury Houston magazine!!! Thanks for choosing us for all your special wedding day moments!! -

Book them!
I cannot even truly put into words how wonderful of an experience working with Civic Photos has been. From their communication to their quality of work to the turn around time for photos they were absolutely incredible. They made engagement photos so easy and effortless in over 100 degree weather. Our wedding photos are a dream. Their photography style is not average it is a work of art that is timeless and classic. You will only regret not booking them!CivicPhotos's reply:
Thanks so much Karen!!! We absolutely loved documenting the beautiful wedding of you and Paul at Grand Galvez!!! Yalls wedding was completely classic and we enjoyed every moment!!! Thank you for choosing us to document you wedding 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. -

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!CivicPhotos's reply:

Spectacular! Barett and his lovely wife and partner were essential to the success of our daughters wedding.
We met Barett on zoom and knew instantly that he would be perfect for our daughter. He has been involved with the bride and groom through engagement photos, bridal pictures, the rehearsal dinner and finally the wedding. He is quick, organized and a great director. He got absolutely beautiful memory keeping shots. And he delivered them all less than 5 days after the wedding…. All perfect! We could not have been more fortunate than to have worked with Civic Photos. I can only give them our highest recommendation! -

Everything
Barrett and his team delivered 110%. He has been the most fun, visual photographer I have worked with to date. He did our engagements, my bridals and our wedding day photos and I am forever grateful to have so many STUNNING photos. I can’t thank him enough for being so flexible and kind each time I have worked with him. I would recommend him to everyone and anyone looking for an A1 photographer. Best photos ever- Literally magazine worthy shots! -

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!!
