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!

Steve and his sweet wife Chris were absolutely amazing! I'm ashamed of myself for taking so long to write a review for this site. My husband and I (fiancé at the time) decided to get married in Vegas after much thought and consideration, just the two of us, in order to save money and reduce the stress and hassle that comes with a traditional wedding. The hardest part of our decision was not having our families with us to share our special day. So I set out to find the best photographer I could to capture our day and hoped that somehow the pictures would in some small way help our loved ones feel like they were with us. I'm so grateful I found Steve! From the first time I contacted him, he was prompt with all of his replies, incredibly informative and full of ideas for our photos, flexible with times and locations, and seemed genuinely excited to meet us and shoot our photos. We live in Dallas, and he was so helpful and knowledgable about all of the best places to take beautiful photos. On the morning of our wedding day, Steve and his wife picked us up from our hotel (right on time) and I must say, he gave us the best greeting you could ask for. His exact words were "Wow!! I had no idea you guys were so great looking!". I don't care if he says that to everyone, it was the perfect thing to say to a bride on her wedding day :) From there we went to the Neon Boneyard and then to the iconic Las Vegas sign. Throughout the morning with Steve and Chris, they not only made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, they also shared stories of their own marriage and as cheesy as it may sound, the love this couple shares was an inspiration to us that day. We laughed the whole time and ended up with pictures that captured the real us. Looking back over a year later, it's so clear how full of joy we were that day. Steve was able to give us something to take back to our families and show them how truly beautiful that day was, and we will be forever grateful!!

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!!
