About

Howdy! I am a careful, fun, serious, creative, bust-ass hard working full time photographer who is scared to death of making average, uninteresting, unskilled photographs. I genuinely love what I do. And I genuinely consider it a privilege to document one of the milestone events in your life.

Three things set me apart from the pack.

1. EMOTION. Over the years I have learned how to gently guide my clients into RELEASING their emotions on Wedding Day. Many feel tense and a little awkward in front of a camera lens (I do). Through the words I say and the tone of my voice I always get you to look your best, happiest, smiling-est, crying-est, genuine-est. It's a skill that takes years to learn.

2. LIGHTING. Clients always remark on how my photos *pop*, how they look more crisp and elegant and professional than a lot of what's out there. One reason is because of the array of lighting I bring and skillfully use throughout the day. Much of your wedding will likely take place in the dark. Your wedding photographer should be a master of lighting.

3. SERVICE & PERSONAL CARE: From the moment she picks up your phone call to that happy day your gorgeous heirloom album arrives, you will be personally cared for by my wonderful wife Chris, the nicest, strongest, hardest working person I know. Her kicked back personality, easy laugh and regular smiles are all real. She is one of the most responsible and likeable people you will ever meet. I consider her my secret weapon of success. You and I are both very lucky to have her in our corner.

Incredible work!

Working with Steve was a dream come true! I honestly could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding pictures. I was referred to Steve from another photographer because I was looking for a very specific look and they knew Steve was the guy for the job. When I first contacted him he said he no longer did weddings, but asked for my details anyway. After chatting for a bit he agreed to work with us and I am SO happy he did. We did a two hour session starting at the "Welcome to Vegas" sign and worked our way to Fremont, Steve knew all the best locations and our pictures turned out exactly how I wanted them to. I was honestly only expecting maybe 15-20 photos but we got hundred and they are amazing! He exceeded our expectations and was a joy to be around. I highly recommend Steve for any of your photography needs!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Steven Joseph Photography. Steven was nothing but professional and accommodating from the start. I am from PA and planned my wedding in Las Vegas from across the country. Steven was kind enough to work so closely with me and my numerous requests from across the country to plan the perfect day. He was more than willing to ensure that I had all the shots where I wanted around various locations in Vegas (Church in Henderson, Las Vegas sign, & all around the Venetian for our reception). He was wonderful with EVERYONE in our wedding party from my 1 1/2 yr old son to my 80 yr old grandma. He ha a unique way of making camera shy people (like myself, the bride) feel comfortable being photographed.
Finally, the actual photos came out so beautifully. I am positively thrilled with everything from Steven Joseph Photography and am so happy we have the photos and experience for a lifetime. Thank you!!

Steven Joseph Photography was AMAZING! I am so happy I chose to use them for my wedding day. The pictures turned out beautiful. Steven plays a lot with lighting, this is one of the main reasons I chose to work with him. His pictures are super vibrant! I had family and friends come up to me after the wedding when he released the "sneak peek" pictures and say "your photographer was amazing" and "the pictures turned out great"!

I had a destination wedding to Vegas (I am originally from Chicago) and I am glad I chose to work with Steven. In Vegas, the chapel said they will "provide their own photographer". So for our chapel time, we had to use the photographer the Aira provided and his pictures were junk compared to what Steven Joseph did! I highly recommend to go with an outside photographer for after the ceremony, this was one of the best decisions I made and I saved money! The Aria wanted a lot more money to use their photographer after the chapel.

In conclusion, go with them as your outside photographer! Steven is super flexible, super easy to work with, and knows how to capture the moment. Steven also coordinated with us to take pictures at the Las Vegas sign and on the strip!!!!!!!!!

Steven did an amazing job for our Las Vegas wedding reception!! All of the photos were taken in low lighting, many on a moving party bus, and they came out incredible!!! Not many photographers would be up to the challenge, but Steven Joseph photography delivered. I'm grateful he was able to capture the joy of our special occasion, would highly recommend!

Steve is an amazing photographer that thinks outside the box. His wife Chris is amazing as well. She wa the one coordinating everything with me. We absolutely love our wedding pictures. Your wedding pictures are one of the few things that you get to take from your wedding day and you can absolutely trust Steve to capture every moment.

Steven, thank you so much for being our photographer for our special day. The images you captured are absolutely priceless. You were absolutely right you are a creative artist with the lens!

It was so special to have you capture these very special moments in our lives. Like many things in life, things do happen for a reason. So when I hopped on Google to look through a seemingly endless list of photographers and somehow came across your website, clicked on your bio (that was fun) then looked at your amazing photo's of other events not to mention the textures you placed within the frame I was an instant fan!

Aimee and I can’t thank you enough for the years of memories you have provided for our families, friends and of course us.

You were wonderful and we’ll definitely pass along your name for future events in Las Vegas as I know you do more than just weddings.

Also a big thanks to both your wife Chris for EXCELLENT communication and lighting management… oh, and the shoot would have not been the same without your son MJ. He was amazing, kind and an excellent with his lighting tasks and cues. Thanks MJ!

God is Blessing your family and your business. Much love.. Ingo and Aimee

Hands-down the best photographer in the Las Vegas Area.

My wife and I married in October of 2014 and we chose Steven Joseph as our photographer. We booked Steven Joseph for the post-wedding pictures and reception. The only regret I have for that day is not using Steven Joseph for EVERYTHING! Unfortunately, we married at a hotel on the strip that required us to use the hotel photographer for our wedding. When we received the pictures from the wedding (hotel photographer), they were ok. However, when we looked at the post-wedding and reception photos (Steven Joseph), we were blown away!! They were AWESOME!

My wife and I were able to visit Las Vegas once before the wedding and meet with Steven Joseph and his wife. They were extremely accommodating. They met us at a local coffee shop to discuss our ideas for our special day and were super-fast in replying to email. Even if we had not met them for coffee, we never had to worry about what time they were going to be at a location and always felt extremely comfortable about the process.

During the reception, I vaguely noticed him taking photos but when I received all the pictures, he had taken photos and captured so many moments that I never saw. For that, I am extremely grateful.

Distinguished, exceptional, impressive, phenomenal, superior, A-1, out of this world (and any other synonyms of outstanding) are the only way to explain how we feel about Steven Joseph.

p.s. During our coffee shop meeting, I had expressed my interest in photography. After the wedding Steven Joseph sent a personal email, stating “I remember our conversation about your interest in photography. If you have any questions or simply want to talk shop, let me know. I’m available.” I would give him 6 stars if I could!!

Fun and professional photographer who is willing to legitimately lend you his shoes. He captured moments in unbelievably breathtaking photographs that made me teary-eyed. My wife and I recommend to any and everyone.

First, let me start off by saying this review is long overdue! I think we have just been putting it off because we don't want to admit that the wedding is over... Steve and Chris are the best! Our guests loved them! They made sure to get pictures of everyone, I think they took over 1,000 pics in under 4 hours. Steve was awesome (maybe because he is from the east coast :-) ) he came with us, took pictures in the limo and everything. They were extremely flexible and made sure to accommodate all of our requests. Beautiful pictures, Steve is the best lighting guy in Vegas! Just look through some of the pics on their website! I wish we could do it again!
