Sandra Sent on 08/01/2025Melvin is the kind of photographer who makes your day better just by being there.
From our very first email exchange, I knew Melvin was going to be something special. He made me feel seen, heard, and cared for—which, as a bride planning a wedding for the first time, meant the world to me. He didn’t just show up on the wedding day; he was involved in the months leading up to it with helpful tips, reminders, and timeline suggestions. On the big day, he was calm, kind, and completely in control in the best way possible. He captured everything I hoped for and more. My family loved him, my friends loved him, I loved him. And to top it all off, I had my full wedding gallery sitting in my inbox before we even returned from our honeymoon. Absolutely unreal. Melvin is the kind of photographer who makes your day better just by being there. -

Tammy Sent on 07/13/2025I wholeheartedly recommend Melvin to anyone getting married.
Working with Melvin felt like working with a longtime friend who just happens to be incredibly talented. He checked in regularly before the wedding, helped build a photography timeline that made the most of our day, and answered every question with care and patience. I never once felt lost in the planning process. On the wedding day, he was a calming presence amidst the chaos, always smiling, always ready. He captured so many raw, real moments that I didn't even realize were happening at the time. And the best part? We got our full wedding gallery within days—during our honeymoon! It was the best surprise to relive the joy all over again. I wholeheartedly recommend Melvin to anyone getting married. -

Patricia Sent on 06/27/2025I recommend Melvin to every bride I meet now. He made our day feel even more special.
Melvin is the real deal. I was overwhelmed with planning at times, but he kept me grounded and reassured. His consistent check-ins, expert advice, and personalized wedding photo timeline helped us feel 100% ready. The day of, he worked magic—calm, encouraging, and somehow everywhere all at once. My entire bridal party couldn’t stop talking about how sweet and professional he was. He even remembered little photo requests I made weeks before. The final photos were everything I hoped for—romantic, vibrant, and timeless. And getting the full gallery less than two weeks later was such a gift. I recommend Melvin to every bride I meet now. He made our day feel even more special. -

Beatrice Sent on 06/25/2025He wasn't just a vendor—he felt like part of the family by the end of the night.
Hiring Melvin was honestly one of the best investments we made for our wedding. He wasn't just a vendor—he felt like part of the family by the end of the night. From day one, his communication was excellent. He sent us regular updates, timeline suggestions, and even little tips that helped everything run more smoothly. On the wedding day, he was so attentive and made sure I was feeling okay throughout all the chaos. He captured every moment without being pushy or in the way, and somehow managed to get gorgeous photos even during our emotional, candid moments. We got our full gallery back before we even returned from our honeymoon, and it brought me right back to that day. Every bride deserves a Melvin! -

Helen Sent on 06/18/2025I didn’t have to worry about a thing photography-wise
I cannot recommend Melvin enough. He was so much more than a photographer—he was like a second wedding planner, a calm presence, and a friend. From the beginning, he was proactive with emails and tips, and he helped me feel organized and ready. I didn’t realize how much I’d appreciate that until the big day came and I didn’t have to worry about a thing photography-wise. He caught every emotion, every detail, every laugh. And what stood out most was how much my family adored him. My parents still talk about how kind and professional he was. Getting the gallery so fast—during our honeymoon!—was such a beautiful surprise. Melvin made everything feel easy and memorable. -

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 -

Melvin and his team were amazing and SO FAST! For our engagement photos, he had them edited and ready for us the next day, and our wedding photos were edited and ready in less than a week! He was always super professional and fun to work with, and the photos all came out looking so so good! We would definitely recommend hiring Covenant Pictures! -

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. -

Melvin did an excellent job on our engagement photos. We had plenty of time and were able to do 3 outfits and 2 locations. He had a sneak peek to us within 12 hours and all edited photos within 4 days. I look forward to working with him on our wedding day and for bridal photos! -

Madison Sent on 05/01/2021Great 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. -

Aislynn Sent on 04/06/2021Stunning wedding photos - couldn't be more perfect
Melvin made our wedding day extra special with the stunning photos he took. He knew how to "command" the scene, herding everyone together for the family (and extended family!) photos. He took a wide variety of photos from every moment throughout our wedding day. He was even enthusiastic about us having to fly him across the country for our wedding. We couldn't have selected a better photographer! -

Melvin is an amazing photographer! He got my 2 year old to smile for him (which is basically impossible!) We now have beautiful outdoor family photos that we will cherish for years to come!
Melvin photographed our wedding almost 7 years ago, and those photos are absolutely amazing, too. We love them! Melvin is the best photographer for important memories! -

Stephanie Sent on 12/21/2020Fantastic!
I couldn’t be more happy with Covenant Pictures. The photographer with Covenant truly has an artistic talent taking pictures. He is patient and efficient. Pictures are not really my thing but he made me feel comfortable and made the entire process painless. He was patient with my 4 year old and embraced his silly ways. I highly recommend Covenant Pictures. -
