“Eivan's photo and video services were very affordable and were a major reason why we went with them. I think the photos we received turned out very well and captured many of the amazing moments that we had at the wedding. The service we paid for only included one photographer and one videographer but they were both very attentive and made sure to be where the action was the entire day. Overall, the experience was positive and for a bride who was more focused on living through the experience of her wedding, Eivan's did a good job of handling the stuff you don't really want to think about.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Duet. We booked them for both photography and videography for our wedding at The Mansion at Timber Point, as well as for our engagement photos in Central Park. Hanel and his entire team were absolutely incredible. Mike was our lead photographer for both the engagement session and wedding day, and Hanel was our lead videographer. This was the vendor I spent the most time researching, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Not only do I love their style and quality of work, but I also found their pricing to be very reasonable for the level of talent and professionalism they provide. Most importantly, the final photos and videos truly captured the magic and emotion of the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
“TWA Photographic Artists were straightforward and direct in their communication, and kept us on schedule throughout our wedding day. Their work was great, capturing many timeless and detailed shots. However, at times they seemed a bit hurried when working with our wedding party and guests, though they remained attentive and eager to get the right shots. For example, the photographer remembered the little details that made our photos special, but we felt a bit rushed after the ceremony and didn't fully capture the joy of those moments. Overall, TWA provided solid photography services, but could have been a bit more patient and attuned to our desired pace for the day.”

“We hired Reflections Media Pennsylvania as our wedding photographer and were very happy with their services. They were great at communication - thoroughly documenting details over email and phone calls leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, they jumped right in to capture candid moments as they happened. For example, they photographed all of our guests arriving at the cocktail hour with us. The photos turned out beautifully, really capturing the spirit of our wedding at a fair price. My only minor critique would be that it was hard to pose for some of the more formal shots because the photographer didn't do a countdown before snapping the pic. And unfortunately due to the event timing, we were not able to take as much photos with the family/bridal party as we had wanted in our consultation. I would recommend couples to keep in mind specific shots during the wedding; the wedding day was extremely hectic for us but it would have been nice to have the photographer (us as well) remember our consultation on what shots we were important for us for them to photograph. But overall, I'd recommend Reflections Media to other couples looking to preserve memories of their special day.”

“We initially chose Ivory Grove because we loved their editing style and the affordable price for both a photographer and videographer. We were nervous because we did not get to select our photographer or videographer; instead, they were assigned to us by Ivory Grove. However, those nerves quickly subsided when we had our engagement photoshoot with Christie! My husband and I can be a bit awkward, but Christie made us feel so comfortable and was able to capture our personalities in such a magical way. She even helped me create my wedding day timeline to ensure the day went smoothly and that she could capture all of the special moments. We met Brock, our videographer, on the day of the wedding, and he fit right in while capturing all of the important moments. After the wedding, we were told our media would be ready within 30 to 60 days. Our photos were delivered just 10 days after the wedding, and our videos were delivered 17 days after the wedding! The quick turnaround was such an unexpected surprise. I am completely obsessed with our photos and videos! Thank you, Ivory Grove, for capturing the best day of our lives!”

We're not a big studio with a team of strangers behind the cameras. We're a husband-and-wife duo who built this business around one thing: making people feel something. We take on a limited number of weddings each year because every couple deserves our full attention, creativity, and energy. No copy-and-paste galleries. No cookie-cutter experience. Just honest photography, real connection, and images that hit just as hard decades from now as they do today.

“My husband and I still can’t stop looking through our wedding photos from Kovy Photo. There’s something different about how they shoot — it doesn’t feel staged or forced, it feels like they just quietly captured our actual day. The photo of my mom crying during the vows, the way my husband looked at me before I even reached him, our friends laughing during the toasts — all of it feels so real when we look back. You can tell they weren’t just taking pictures, they were paying attention to us the whole time. If you’re getting married in Columbus and want photos that actually feel like your wedding and not a photoshoot, Kovy Photo is who you need.”

McKinney, TX
  • Fine art style

I'm Michael Anthony, a wedding photographer based in Dallas–Fort Worth, with a second studio in Los Angeles. I shoot across DFW — Dallas, Fort Worth, McKinney, Frisco, Prosper, Plano — and travel for couples marrying farther afield. Nine countries and 1,000+ weddings so far. My approach is editorial and unobtrusive. I document the day rather than direct it, because I want your images to make you feel the moment again, not simply see it. I take a limited number of weddings each year so each one gets real attention. Tell me your date and venue and I'll confirm availability right away.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Michael Anthony Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our Dallas wedding. From the first conversation, the team was organized, responsive, and genuinely interested in understanding what mattered most to us. Neither of us felt especially comfortable in front of a camera, but their direction made everything feel natural. They helped us with posing when we needed it, kept our family photographs organized, and captured the candid moments without interrupting the day. Even when our timeline changed, the team stayed calm and made sure we never felt rushed. When we received our gallery, we were blown away. The photographs feel cinematic, emotional, and timeless. They captured the excitement of the celebration, the quiet moments between us, and so many reactions from our family and friends that we had completely missed. We highly recommend Michael Anthony Photography to anyone looking for a Dallas wedding photographer. Their experience, creativity, and professionalism gave us photographs that truly bring us back to our wedding day.”

About wedding photographers

How much does a wedding photographer cost?

Wedding photographers early in their careers can cost as little as $1,500. Super experienced photographers, as seen in magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair, can cost upwards of $30,000. The range is wide, but, in general, you can expect to spend around 10% of your budget on wedding photography. Rates also vary based on wedding length, the services you want, and location. A photographer based in an area with a lower cost of living, for example, will be less than one based in New York or San Francisco.

How much should we tip our wedding photographer?

A good rule of thumb is to tip 10% of their rate, or at least $100. If they’re bringing second photographers or assistants, an additional $50 to $75 per person is an appropriate and nice gesture.

What questions should we ask wedding photographers?

Aside from logistical questions about packages, pricing, and availability, it’s also important to use your conversation to get a sense of their personality. This person will be with you and your loved ones every step of your wedding day, including, if you want, in the dressing room! It’s very important that you and your partner both feel comfortable with them and their working style. Talk about your venue, how you want to feel when you look at your photos, and which photos from their portfolio you like best.
