About Me

MAKING WEDDINGS A DAY TO REMEMBER

Covenant LX exists to serve engaged couples in the Tri-State (Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana) by providing them with bright and colorful lifestyle portraits. I’m Andre Thomas and I absolutely enjoy what I do. I get to hang out with fun couples, capture portraits of their meaningful moments and present them with galleries and photo albums that show their good side. It’s a pleasure meeting you. I look forward to connecting with you two to discuss your wedding day, to get to know you, and to share with you all that Covenant LX has to offer.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Since the photographer is with you the whole day, you should know a little bit about him/her so allow me to share a little bit about myself.

Quick Intro

What we don’t like about bad pictures is the same thing we don’t like about our memories. We don’t like when they are fuzzy, unclear, and when they show off our bad side. I want everyone to be able to look back on their pictures and see crystal clear, happy memories. That is why I do what I do. The feeling you get when you see and touch an image of yourself, not only are you remembering those good times with your neurons but you are now experiencing your memories like you never could without those photographs.

Core Values

Faith & Family

FIRST & FOREMOST

Faith

If there’s anything about me that I want to shine through the most, it’s that I am a man of faith (Christian). I am thankful that the Lord graciously choose to reveal Himself to me during my college years and, not only that, He saved me through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. This fact defines me and everything that I do.

Just so you know, this doesn’t mean that I only photograph Christian weddings and Christian couples. I’ve had several couples subscribe to different worldviews and beliefs so it’s not a major problem for me but it does define certain things I will and will not shoot.

Family

Another thing that I want people to know about me is that I love my wife. She is my closest friend and I will, without hesitation, literally give my life for her safety. I want to make sure I serve and love her the best way I know how. So much so that I want it said of me that, “if there was one thing that Andre was good at was being a great husband to his wife.”

The second love of my life is my beautiful daughter, Amara. She’s our first child and she’s the best little girl I know. Yes, those are maternity pictures but she’s here, alive and well. Updated pictures to come!

This is my family. I love them and want to be the best husband and father I can be.

Tid-Bits

Mentor

When I’m not taking pictures, I’m mentoring young black boys. I started a group in January 2019 called Boys of Superior Standard (B.O.S.S.). This group exists to prepare young boys of color to be community leaders, faithful husbands, and loving fathers. Within that, I help them with character development, I make sure they stay on top of their grades, and I expose them to lucrative career paths that are foreign to them.

Technology

In my day job, I program web applications which means I love technology. I might love it too much. I’m always on the computer and I enjoy buying and playing with gadgets. Especially photography related ones.

Food

My wife and I have been vegan for 2 and a half years so we’re huge Whole Foods shoppers. We also love getting our food at Trader Joe’s and Aldi. Because of this, unless your caterer can easily adapt, I’ll be brown-bagging it at your wedding. I’ll be looking real middle-school by eating a deli sandwich on your fine China.

Now before you jump to conclusions (like my co-workers did), I don’t subscribe to veganism which can generally (and possibly unfairly) be defined as animal-worshipping extremist. I worship God and not animals so I’m perfectly fine having dinner with someone who’s going to scarf down a rack of ribs. I don’t shame anyone for eating meat but, for anyone who asks about it, I do try to get them on the band wagon because I think vegan diet is best because it makes you feel great! I sometimes geek out about it.
