Kovyphoto was great to work with! We booked a 2 hour package for our micro wedding and they captured so many photos in that time! They were very fast with turn around time also. We got great shots of our fur babies which was very important to us.

I hired Kovyphoto to capture special moments at a fitness activation and they delivered! The pictures were amazing, especially the action shots. If I'm ever host another event in Columbus, I'd definitely re-hire Kovyphoto!!

Absolutely love this couple. They were professional and responsive right from the beginning. They were very flexible in working with us as I requested them to come to reception last minute. The pictures were done in less then 48 hours and the shots they took were high quality. Very reasonably priced. They had high energy and were so fun to work with. I will definitely be using them in the future. I highly recommend them for any of your photo needs.
Details: Wedding • 25 - 49 guests • Indoors • Album or photo book

They were amazing from the start. I had to move the date with little advanced notice and they were able to communicate with me to make sure everything went perfectly. We got extra help with posing and planning out the location and plan of the proposal. I cant recommend Kovy Photo enough! Everything was easy from start to finish
Kovyphoto's reply
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🤍 It was truly a pleasure to be part of such an important moment.
We’re so happy we could help with the date change, location, planning, and posing to make sure everything went smoothly. Surprise proposals involve a lot of little details, and we’re always happy to help make the process as easy and stress-free as possible.
Thank you for trusting Kovy Photo to capture this special moment. We’re so glad you loved the experience! 💍📸
Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together! ❤️

Super great at following up and working with me to figure out the looks I was going for, valued what I was wanting for my acting/commercial headshots, like helping to capture emotions in the photos. Even sent me some of his work beforehand which I was very impressed with. Great portfolio which encouraged me to move forward working with him!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing includes the agreed package of services: high-quality images delivered through my website with personal access and in maximum resolution. I support the project at every stage — from preparation and concept to final editing — ensuring the result fully meets your expectations.
If you’re looking for a professional ready to bring your vision to life and pay attention to details, choose me. If you’re simply looking for someone with a camera at the lowest price, I’m probably not the right fit.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Brief & Intro
Getting started with a conversation about your project — goals, style, references, and budget. I ask the right questions to understand your vision before anything is planned.
References · Concept · Budget
Pre-Production
We lock in the location, outfits, and overall aesthetic. If needed, I coordinate a team: hair & makeup, stylist, assistant. You get a clear shoot-day plan — who, where, what time, and what to bring.
Location · Team · Wardrobe · Schedule
Shoot Day
We work in studio or on location depending on the concept. I shoot digital (Canon R6 Mark II) or (Canon R6 mIII) based on the look we’re going for. I direct poses, manage lighting, and keep an eye on every detail. The vibe on set is focused but relaxed.
Studio / Location · Digital / · Lighting
election & Retouching
After the shoot I cull the best frames and do color grading. Final retouching is clean and natural — no heavy editing. You can leave feedback on a preview round before I deliver the finals.
Culling · Color Grading · Retouching · 1–2 revision rounds
ile Delivery
Final high-resolution files delivered via cloud — ready for social media, print, or brand submission. Standard turnaround: 3-5 business days after the shoot.
High Resolution · Google Drive · 3-5 days
What types of customers have you worked with?
We have worked with a range of clients, including local businesses, personal brands, and creative professionals, helping them build strong and authentic visual identities
