Steve is a living legend, and you want him to photograph your event. He's great fun when he's there - you'll laugh, you'll blush - and it's a joy to watch him work. My wife and I hestitated to hire a "real Photographer" with a capital "P". We were working with a humble budget (relative to the industry!), but a wise friend told us if there's one thing to splurge for, it's the photos.

They were exactly right.

Looking through the photo album *the night after the wedding* (what a turnaround time!), it's like living through it again - in higher definition, with more beautiful lighting and contrast, and we get to see everyone's expressions we missed on the actual day! Everyone who attended is walking away with an incredible picture of themselves... and my wife and I have more beautiful shots than we have room in our house to display them!

Steve communicated right away; he arrived early and was razor-sharp the entire time he was present; his pricing was more than fair and perfectly precise; and he's now part of our fondest memories - we'll remember him, too, even though he didn't take any pictures of himself... which he should have!

If we ever have another big event, we're getting this man. You should too!

Thank you, Steve, for capturing our most magical day in everlasting digital ink. You're an artist, and I'm glad our paths crossed!

A few more notes:
- He was efficient with his work and captured well-framed shots at high velocity.
- He had scouted the locations and determined great spots for photos.
- He caught at least one compelling picture of each person in attendance; the guest shots were a treat for my wife and I to flip through!

We had an amazing experience working with Steve for our wedding photography and could not recommend him more. From the beginning, communication was great — he always responded quickly (usually within a day) and answered every question we had.

For the engagement shoot and on the wedding day, he gave really helpful direction that made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which we normally are not. He’s also genuinely funny, which helped a lot. My husband, who normally hates taking pictures and thought our engagement session was going to be pointless, ended up actually having a lot of fun.

The photos turned out incredible. He captured both posed and candid moments so well. Even though we didn't have much discussion about specific shots we wanted, you can tell Steve has been doing this a long time. We trusted him completely to get all the important photos and he did not disappoint. He also knew so many great spots around the city that were all close to each other but had completely different backgrounds, which gave us a ton of variety without adding extra stress or time to the day. He was very efficient with the time which turned out to be very valuable. Our ceremony started late so we were running behind, BUT we still got all the photos we wanted and got to the reception ahead of schedule!

The best part, we received almost 700 photos!!! And the turnaround time was unbelievable — we had our full gallery within 24 hours.

We had so many family and friends comment on how great our photographer was and how much they loved the photos. I will recommend none other than Steve to anyone looking for a photographer!

Wow. I am blown away by the pictures and service we received working with Steve! At his price point, he's really unbeatable. Plus, and this is a big plus, YOU WILL HAVE FUN. We laughed our entire engagement session and our wedding day was beyond stress free. His website focuses more on the goofy pictures, but do not worry - you will get GORGEOUS classic pictures as well as those fun candids. AND you get the pictures back next day??? Stop looking and BOOK HIM.

Steve was (and is) a PHENOMENAL photographer and overall an amazing person to work with for our engagement and wedding day pictures! We are forever grateful! Steve is super chill, laid back, and hilarious! The communication was on point and no matter what questions we had, Steve had the answer. He helped make our wedding day everything we wanted it to be, and more. I highly, HIGHLY suggest you reach out and book with him, you surely won’t regret it! 

Steve was incredibly professional, easy to work with, and very knowledgable. Our goal was to find a photographer with straightforward and honest pricing that also took great photos. Steve exceeded our expectations by a long shot! Not only was he efficient but he also was so creative in the photography shots he took. Our entire wedding complimented his style and timeliness. To top it all off, we received our photos within 24 hours of our wedding! Yes, all of our photos with 24 hours. Truly a dream experience and I would recommend him to every person that I know!

We had the most amazing experience with Steve from start to finish! We hired him for our wedding and the results have truly exceeded our expectations. His professionalism and warm demeanor put us completely at ease and was hysterical during our photography shoot. Steve provided excellent posing guidance, capturing genuine, natural moments that truly reflected our family's personality. The whole process was relaxed, seamless, and genuinely fun!
When we received the final photos, we were absolutely blown away. Steve managed to encapsulate the emotions and details of that day perfectly, creating timeless memories we will cherish forever.
If you're looking for a photographer who is not only exceptionally talented but also a joy to work with, look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone and cannot wait to book him again for our next milestone!

Steve is amazing. He made the day run smoothly and he made taking pictures easy. He made us feel at ease and really captured the joy of the day. He got us our photos the next day and we loved them all! Hiring Steve was the number one best choice we made for our day. Do yourself a favor and hire him. He will make the day easier, give you amazing memories, and be so efficient it maximizes your time to spend with your friends and family.

From our very first interaction, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer in Steve. He has an incredible talent for making you feel completely natural and comfortable in front of the camera, and it was so much fun getting to know him during our engagement session. We left that session with no doubt that he would knock our wedding photos out of the park.

On our big day, he was a joy to have around. He seamlessly blended in and captured everything beautifully, from the excited flower girls to our elderly grandmas, and his incredible sense of humor kept our friends and family laughing all day long. The resulting photos were absolutely incredible. We're in love with our family photos, the individual portraits, and all the candid shots from the ceremony and reception.

Beyond his amazing eye for a shot, what truly sets Steve apart is his professionalism and ability to handle the unexpected. Midway through our church ceremony, the power went out and did not come back on. Steve quickly pivoted and navigated the incredibly difficult lighting situation with ease. The photos from that part of the ceremony still turned out to be some of our favorites, which is a testament to his talent under pressure. For a small additional fee, he also helped us by taking candids at our rehearsal dinner and secured a second shooter to ensure he captured every moment of our large wedding.

We can't recommend Steve highly enough. He’s more than a photographer; he’s an amazing person who brings a calm, confident energy to the most important day of your life. Thank you, Steve!

Simply the best. Not only is he a total blast to be around, but he’s also incredibly trustworthy and honest, qualities that made the entire process stress-free and smooth. It felt more like having a close friend with a camera than just a vendor.
His energy was infectious, our family and friends loved him, and he made the whole day feel effortless. He has a true eye for capturing real, natural moments, not just posed shots.
Steve is your man for your big day, or really any day.

Steve Bowman is the best photographer I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. If you have the chance to have your photos taken by him, jump at it. You will not regret it. My wife and I hired Steve for our August 2025 wedding, and if I could’ve hired him twice, I would have. There’s only one Steve though, and he’s brilliant.

From the very start, Steve impressed us. He’s exceptionally communicative. In the days leading up to the wedding, he kept in touch regularly via email, answering questions, sharing helpful tips, and putting us at ease. On the day itself, he checked in often to make sure we captured every must-have shot, while also suggesting new ideas on the fly. On our big day, drove through a massive thunderstorm to reach our wedding and still arrived right on time at my wife’s hotel to capture the “getting ready” moments. Then he promptly made his way to the venue, met with me for a few quick shots, and began scoping the best locations with an artist’s eye.

Steve is a creative and adaptive. Despite our gray, rainy wedding day, our photos look bright and beautiful. He immediately spotted light, texture, and framing opportunities. He turned the less-than-ideal conditions into an absolute dream. Even with an active construction site next door, he positioned shots so perfectly that you’d never know it was there. He is also incredibly well-equipped. He carries multiple cameras and had lights and flashes at-the-ready.

He makes the photo process fun. Even for someone like me, who has never been a fan of posing for pictures, Steve made it engaging and enjoyable. The results speak for themselves—everything from classic portraits to candid moments to creatively framed shots that showcase the beauty of our venue and guests.

Steve’s speed was just as impressive as his skill. He delivered every single photo within two days of our wedding. The digital portal he hosts the photos on is fantastic. It's clean, easy to use, and accessible on any device. We could share our full gallery with friends and family instantly, saving us a lot of hassle!

If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, and an absolute joy to work with, hire Steve Bowman.
