We hired Steven for our engagement photos and Wedding ( 7/12/2026) and we couldn't be happier with our choice. I would have paid more then his price for what he did. He communicated with us the whole way and handled every unexpected hiccup with the highest level of professionalism and a even a great sense of humor when acceptable. Hands down the best photographer would could have asked for. We got our pictures within 2 days of the wedding ( which os unheard of) 12 out of 10 would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer. -

Saoirse Sent on 05/26/2026Stop looking. You've found your man.
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! -

Kate Sent on 09/05/2025Look No Further... Steve Bowman
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! -

You found your photographer, congrats!
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. -

Bailey Sent on 08/05/2025Amazing Photos!!!!! Even better experience!!!!
An Artist at the core and a Connection for life. My Wife found Steve through countless searches of different photographers. Upon an exhausting search she/we struck gold! I will forever recommend Steve to others and like a barber I will never find a new one to replace the perfectionism of life that Steve captures. Hes a perfect fit!
It all started with a beautiful engagement shoot filled with creativity, laughs, professionalism, stories, and shared interests. Steve made us feel comfortable and confident to be taking photos. We had a few ideas but were happy to let the photographer guide us through the process. After all he is the professional.
Through out the wedding Steve made guests feel comfortable, iconic, and look like rock stars. our photos turned out so beautiful. Like a ninja and wizard Steve lurked in the shadows and appeared when most needed. He graciously helped me get ready when I was a nervous wreck in the groom room. With his personality, camera set up, and knowledge there is no doubt in my mind that a session with him, wedding, engagement, family photos, is something worth more than money or pictures can buy. It’s a true experience.

We truly could not have asked for a better photographer than Steve.
From our very first Zoom call, Steve impressed us with his warmth, professionalism, and transparency. Every step of the process—from booking, to planning, to our engagement shoot, to the wedding day—was handled with clear communication, care, and ease. He made everything feel smooth and grounded, which is a gift during the chaos of wedding planning.
I’m someone who typically feels awkward in front of a camera, but Steve’s presence was so comfortable, unpretentious, and fun that I actually enjoyed being photographed. He offered gentle, playful direction when needed, and otherwise blended in so seamlessly that many of our guests assumed he was a longtime friend. Multiple people came up to us afterward just to say how much they enjoyed having him there—he brought such good energy to the day.
And then the photos—absolutely stunning. Every image feels full of life, beauty, and emotion. Steve has a true gift for capturing both the big, iconic moments and the quiet, meaningful in-betweens. We’ve been obsessively revisiting the gallery and are just blown away.
You would be doing yourself a major disservice not to work with Steve. He’s a phenomenal photographer and an even better human being. We’re so grateful we found him. -

Nolan Sent on 06/09/2025Absolutely amazing! Great fun personality
Steve is absolutely amazing g, genuine, & honest. Steve has an amazingly fun personality that makes the wedding day feel less stressful in designing around picture schedules. He does a great job of helping piece together the whole day in photos by getting images with guests. So allows you to share with guests of special moments. Lots of photographers act like photos are only for the bride & groom.
I was Best Man at my brother’s wedding & I think there were a total of 10 pictures that I was included in, they had 2 photographers. Steve got all these random moments of my brother, my best man, that he will be able to cherish & so will my family bc they included his daughter.
Steve went above & beyond in The Domes & wouldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Steve was phenomenal. Even my cousins, who’ve been to 30+ weddings, said they wish they had a photographer like ours. -

Absolutely couldn't recommend a better wedding photographer. Steve was BEYOND AMAZING!!!! Everything from the initial messages to the engagement photoshoot to the communication in-between that and the entire wedding day. He's insanely funny and witty which worked great for our wedding setting and style. He's insanely responsive. Gets shots that we didn't even realize he was getting from the entire day and even with the random switch up of rain the entire day on and off he still managed to get us killer shots indoors and outdoors thru the whole day. We loved his work for both the engagement shoot and the wedding, we loved his personality and flexibility. Mostly we love how insanely quick he got us our entire gallery after the wedding. Coming from someone who also does photography I know this man has his camera skills dialed and I absolutely LOVED seeing that. Can't say enough nice things about him. If you're considering using him for your event..... all I can say is DO IT, YOU WONT REGRET IT. -

Candid Photo Ninja
I don’t think 5 stars is enough for Steve. From the time I reached out to him to the end of the night of our wedding hiring him was one of the best decisions we made. The man is a ninja, how he managed to be everywhere all at once is beyond me. He’s funny, so so knowledgeable, and has just the right amount of sass. All of our family and friends have been raving about him and his photos, and after spending so much time together during the wedding my husband and I are kinda starting to miss him 😂. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for amazing and creative photos for their wedding! -

The best wedding photographer out there
Our friend who got married in 2023 and used Steve for her wedding highly recommended him for our big day. Steve and Katie shot our wedding on September 7th and we couldn’t have been more pleased with how everything turned out. From the very beginning even prior to booking, Steve was very responsive, kind, funny and easy to communicate with. Even as wedding plans and location changed, Steve was always very flexible. The wedding day photography went perfectly. Steve and Katie brought such positive fun, ideas, skill, and professionalism that blew us and our guests away. Most of the time we didn’t even notice they were capturing pictures which created a lot of beautiful candid moments. Steve sent all of our pictures THE DAY AFTER and we couldn’t be more pleased with how they turned out. Steve and Katie were an absolute joy to be around and work with, we will definitely use them for any photography needs in the future. I will forever be thankful we chose Steve to be our wedding photographer, he is the best out there! -

Steve was recommended to us through our close friends who also used him as their photographer. Upon viewing his portfolio and website, I immediately knew that he was the perfect fit as our photographer! Steve took both our engagement and wedding pictures. They turned out absolutely stunning! He truly made the engagement photoshoot and big day an amazing experience. We love his sense of humor and ability to make us feel entirely comfortable. We received many, many compliments about Steve after the wedding. We even got our sneak peak the night of our wedding, which was icing on the cake. I highly recommend choosing Steve as your photographer for your special day! -

Alexandra Sent on 09/05/2023Fantastic, A++, 10/10 Would Hire Again
Steve and his assistant Katie did a great job covering our special day! Steve is very easy to communicate with and very direct which is something I really appreciated. We were fortunate to book him for our wedding and we're so glad we did. The quality of the photos are incredible and beautiful and we will cherish them for years to come. Steve and Katie were professional, effective and efficient. The turn around on the photos was amazingly fast, my husband and I were married on a Saturday and we had the link to the gallery Sunday night. On top of that, the sneak peaks and social media posts were made Saturday night after Steve and his assistant departed our event! We had an engagement photo shoot that was included with the package we selected and the engagement photo shoot session was a great way for my husband and I to get comfortable with shooting with Steve prior to the big day. I'm still in awe of how beautiful all the photos look and how wonderful and natural everyone looks in them. I appreciated how quickly I was able to share photos with people who were not able to attend the wedding. They all remarked that the pictures were wonderful and they really got a sense of what it felt like to be there.
Absolutely worth every penny, a pleasure and joy to work with, I cannot recommend Steve Bowman Photography enough! Thank you again Steve for helping us document such a special day. -

Steve is a fantastic photographer and great to work with. He is wonderfully low pressure and casual while also doing a great job at directing the photos.

Steve did both our engagement pictures as well as our wedding pictures, and we fully believe we could not have chosen a better photographer! We decided to reach out to Steve because of his incredible personality highlighted on his website and his amazing reviews. Right from the beginning, Steve was easy to communicate with, made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and took the most beautiful pictures. For our wedding in particular, he highlighted the most meaningful moments in such a perfect way and we are so in love with all of our pictures. The best part of it all is that Steve got back all of our pictures the very next day! So here is your sign to stop looking and choose Steve as your wedding photographer. You won’t regret it! -

Monica Sent on 07/10/2023Fun, efficient, gorgeous photos
Let me start by saying my new husband HATES photos so I had to be very careful in choosing our wedding photographer. I wanted someone who would make the process as quick and painless as possible and Steve went above and beyond that. Steve is HILARIOUS and so fun to work with. His second Pat is also a hoot and amazing as well.
They were flexible and responsive to whatever we wanted or needed.
Steve also is super efficient with getting out photos- we had a sneak peek on Instagram and Facebook before our reception was even over AND we had a FULL gallery of our photos to download as we want less than 24 hours after they left our wedding.
I couldn't have asked for a better experience and worth every penny and more! -

Steve Bowmann Photography is everything we had wanted for our wedding photography. He is super fun, down to earth, and professional.

Worth every penny!
Between looking at Steve’s work and reading the amazing reviews, I wondered if it was too good to be true. I can assure that it is not, and my husband and I are so glad that we were able to have Steve and Pat photograph our wedding. We knew we loved Steve’s personality right away during our engagement shoot. As much as possible, he made what could be an awkward experience something that was fun, entertaining, and enjoyable. This carried over into our wedding day as well. Our large wedding party made multiple comments about how fun Steve and Pat were to work with. My husband and I are pretty easy going, and we did not want to have to worry about needing to direct someone about what photos we wanted, because we are not photographers! Steve and Pat took charge and got amazing shots, but they also listened when we had an occasional request for a specific photo. One required making a stop at a bar with a dicey parking situation, and others were just made on the fly, and they rolled with the punches. Finally, the speed at which we received our photos (day after our wedding) and the quality of them really speak to Steve’s professionalism, talent, and skill. We couldn’t stop smiling looking through the pictures. Our choice of photographer was by far one of our favorite vendor choices we made. Highly recommend!! -

If I could go higher than 5 stars, I absolutely would.
We were first interested in Steve's work when we came across his website alone. I could NOT stop laughing at everything his website said. I knew from the start that my fiance and I would absolutely love working with him.
That was solidified with our engagement shoot. He was so informative and kept us laughing with his cheeky comments. His assistant was super helpful as well. Steve let us be our weird ole selves and honestly egged it on. We're not ones for super posed and traditional photos, so he was perfect for us. Completely laid back but also on top of his game the entire time. Communication between Steve and I was great, and I super appreciated his quick and informative responses. He even helped give suggestions for other vendors.
Then the wedding. Again, they were absolutely lovely. They kept everyone in our party laughing and relaxed. We have so many candids of everyone just having a great time. So many people told us how much they loved Steve and Katie.
I truly hope I can work with them again some day. I know they primarily focus on weddings, but maybe someday we can meet again for family photos.
I super duper recommend them if you're a laid back bride/groom who just wants to have fun on their special day. They'll make it look great, I promise you.
Just look at his website. You'll have a good laugh, and see some beautiful photos along the way. -

We love Steve!!!!
Steve and Pat were the absolute best. We got married last weekend had a pretty crappy day for outside photos (30 mph winds). We decided to try taking photos outside anyways and they were absolutely beautiful! They are our favorite pictures from the whole night. They did the best job and are so much fun to work with. They are so good at capturing special moments and capturing the emotion of the day. Not to mention, they work so fast! We were only outside for maybe 30 minutes and somehow he managed to take the best photos! There is no question that Steve is the best choice if you want to have the best wedding photos! Thank you Steve and Pat!!! We cannot stop looking at our photos! -

10/10 Highly Recommend!!! When searching for a photographer, we had no idea where to start. We came across Steve's website and his personality jumped off the page. We knew we wanted to him capture our big day. From the first email sent, and all the other emails in between leading up to the big day, Steve was very professional and accommodating. We loved his witty sense of humor and ability to capture the photos, especially the candid ones! We are not huge photo takers and he was able to give us direction and make us feel comfortable in front of the camera to capture our genuine smiles and laughs! We received numerous compliments from our wedding party and all of our guests about how much they loved Steve and Pat. The photos were incredible and the gallery turnaround time was even more incredible. We will be recommending Steve and his team to everyone we know!! -

Highly recommend!! Steve and his assistant Katie were wonderful! I cannot say enough about how grateful we were, how beautiful our wedding photos are and how fun it was to work with them! Steve met up with us a few weeks beforehand to give us a run down on what to expect and discuss what we wanted out of the day. He was great to talk with and laid it out so we understood exactly what would happen. He also provided very helpful feedback on wedding events based on the flow of the day and he was extremely quick to respond to our messages! Steve and Katie arrived on time the day of our wedding and were very fun yet professional. They made us feel comfortable and we were able to relax and feel natural during photos. Steve knew exactly how to set up the shots which made it easy to get through all the family photos relatively quickly! Most excitingly, we were so happy to see our amazing photos within 24 hours and be able to relive the day. We definitely recommend Steve and his team! -

Steve came highly recommended from many friends, and we knew we would be well taken care of. He was able to work with our budget, and delivered amazing results! We appreciated his sense of humor during the day, and loved his style of candid shots. The turnaround time on our gallery could not be beat. We would definitely recommend Steve and his team!! -

10/10 Fantastic Photographers!!!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer ... look no further. Steve Bowman Photography came highly recommended to us and did not disappoint. Patrick was amazing from day one!! Our first video chat to set everything up we knew instantly that our personalities would align perfectly. He worked so well with us and our pups for our engagement shoot to get us through the awkwardness of having our photo taken. Now let’s talk the wedding…Pat and his partner were truly remarkable. We had to change our timeline multiple times due to the weather and he was always there ready to take photos. From being down in the mud in a sunflower field, to out on the ramp in the rain … he got such amazing shots they look like they could be in a magazine. He had all of our photos to us within 1 week and we have gotten SOOO many compliments on how amazing our pictures are and wanting to know our photographers name. They not only got the classic wedding shots, they got some amazing creative ones, candid ones, and some of my husband’s Dad’s classic car that mean so much to us. We truly love them all so much. Patrick also just made the day so fun and not stressful while we were out taking our photographs!! Thank you Patrick for being so easy/available to communicate with, making us look so good and for having so much fun with us!! We would highly recommend them to anyone! -

Simply the Best!
You will not regret going with Steve for your wedding! He is unique and captures your whole vibe of the day. He is not the same old same old. Other photographers I had looked into all do the same poses with each couple they shoot. Steve will do traditional pictures you want but then he expands on it and makes it his own. I cannot say enough good things about him! I love every picture he took of us! -

Katelyn Sent on 06/14/2021Steve & Pat were amazing
Never have I been to a wedding where so many people complimented the photographers before they even saw the finished products! Steve and Pat made everyone feel so comfortable and got people to look genuine in front of the camera! We wanted most of our photos to not feel super staged and cliché and they did such a good job obtaining that! We, our bridal party, and our guests loved them! Steve was so easy to work with and so helpful during the planning process. He and Pat were so quick and efficient! I'm still amazed they snapped so many great pictures of us and our guests on the big day!
We are all still struggling to figure out how they manage to get us pictures back so quick! We got a good chunk of preview pictures the night of the wedding and the rest of them back the following afternoon! (Perfect for impatient people like myself). Steve and Pat were such assets to making our day everything we had hoped! -

Amazing South-Eastern WI Photographer!
Steve, and his assistant Pat, did such a great job capturing every ounce of our wedding. They were attentive to our wants and got pictures of all the important moments without seeming intrusive. Steve’s communication, both before and during the event, was great. We’re not from southeast Wisconsin, so this helped us gain the comfort knowing he was on top of the things we weren’t considering about the area. He is responsive to emails and was very straight forward with what he wanted from us during the posed photos, which kept us on time all night. Their photos turned out better than we could have possibly imagined, and it will allow us to look back on our amazing wedding night as often as we’d like! -

We hired Liza through Steve Bowman and oh my goodness she was AMAZING to work with! From the first phone call I had with her the process was so easy and we immediately felt 100% comfortable with her. She did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos and they were perfect! The one thing I had requested is I did not want to spend my entire wedding taking pictures as I have seen this at other weddings and I wanted more candid photos and she met that request to a tee! Liza is extremely talented and I highly recommend her! She went above and beyond to make our wedding completely memorable. With all of the COVID craziness that happened this year, unfortunately our grandparents were not able to attend and I did not hire a videographer for our wedding. I asked Liza if she could just put a camcorder to record the ceremony just so we had something and she accommodated. I got the video recently, and oh my goodness they went above and beyond was I expected! There was background music in the video and they even recorded the speeches for me at no charge! I hope to be able to work with her in the future! -

We are beyond thrilled with having hired Steve as our photographer. He has been a pleasure to work with both before and during our wedding. His laid back but professional style allowed him to get natural candid shots as well as natural looking framed shots that stunned both us and our guests. Steve and Pat were accommodating, professional, and above all, skilled at making us look our best and capturing the feel of our special day. They really made our covid wedding of 9 people feel special, and we cannot wait to work with him again next year when we can have our full guest list and celebration! -

We cannot say enough amazing words about Steve and Pat! If you are looking for two fun, creative, and outrageously talented photographers look no further. We had the privilege of working with these two for our engagement session and wedding day, and wouldn’t have had it any other way. If you are looking for photos that truly reflect your relationship, Steve and Pat capture it all. Their style is unique and beautiful in every way. Steve returned all of our photos the next day, which is any brides dream come true. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. -

Steve was hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. I don't know anything about how to pose for photos or what looks good, and Steve walked us through everything and made sure our photos looked amazing. The photos look absolutely stunning. All of the candid photos really capture how the day felt and we are obsessed with them. Steve had all of our wedding album available for us to review THE NEXT DAY.
He was super knowledgeable and even gave us tips the day of the wedding to help us get through it. I also appreciated his sense of humor since emotions run high on the wedding day. Steve and Pat were flexible with our changing Covid plans and easy to work with. If you have the opportunity to work with Steve, don't second guess it and just book him. You won't regret it. -

Steve is AMAZING. If you don't choose Steve you're going to be disappointed. (His sidekick Pat is kickass too). Not only is his work absolutely incredible (and we've gotten so many compliments on our engagement and wedding photos) but he is an awesome guy too. He keeps the mood light and fun and it was never awkward posing in front of him. He is thorough in his work, yet gets to the point, not wasting time and that was so appreciated. We got plenty of photos, but not thousands which would have been overwhelming to sort through. Lastly, he is super timely and the day after the wedding he already had most of images for us and the rest came shortly after. We are forever grateful and so thankful for images that will help us never forget our big day! -

Let me explain why you need to book Steve Bowman Photography...
If you are newly engaged and in search of a wedding photographer, look no further because I'm about to tell you exactly why Steve Bowman, Pat and his team are everything and more. Professional, punctual, and personable are the words I would to describe the consistency of this beautifully constructed team. Every email, phone call, message and encounter was professional, punctual, and personable. My wedding photos are so unbelievably perfect and the best part (besides the fact that Steve and Pat made my husband and I look like Victoria and David Beckham) we received all 1,000 edited photos THE NEXT MORNING. Who does that? Steve Bowman, that's who. Steve and Pat can shoot the most stunning pictures and the evidence is there for you, just scroll through some of their past shoots and you'll be convinced.
If you are still hesitant to trust this total stranger boasting and bragging about her photographers let me explain something VERY IMPORTANT. What truly sets Steve Bowman and his team apart from the rest is their ability to capture moments in time that are exactly how you would want them too. For example, I never once told Steve to take a picture of my sister-in-law and I having a discussion totally in our element and having our moment. Steve just knew. He captured our relationship perfectly without even knowing our relationship at all. My sister-in-law saw the picture, sent it to me, and thought the same exact thing. My best frind and bridesmaid turned to me after all the speeches were completed and said, "Those were the best f***** speeches." The next morning I saw a picture of my best friend enjoying the speeches. Another example (I could give 50 more), Steve was able to capture a moment of my daughter in her truest form. A stare that she has given since day one. A look that I love more than life itself. He captured that look. Did I tell Steve, "Hey when my daughter was born she gave this look and she still gives it now 5 years later, so make sure you get a shot of that." Heck no! Steve is an intuitive photography genius. He just knows and he genuinely cares and loves the work that he does. When you scroll through his work, imagine a meaningful caption attached to each one of those photos that can only be given by the people in them. My wedding photos have everything plus more and I can't wait to relive my special day through Steve and Pat's photos for all the years to come.
Final thoughts, I just got married during a pandemic, thank you COVID-19. This wasn't an issue on any level what-so-ever. Everyone felt safe and secure. So yes, Steve and Pat captured our photos during a crisis and they were perfect.
Steve Bowman Photography is the way to go, trust me. You can book him now and cross wedding photographer off your to-do list. You will not regret it!!!

NEIL WAS AMAZING. I was an out of state bride and a very nervous one at that, and Neil (and Mascha!!!) did so much to put me and my now-husband at ease. Neil was polite, hilarious, easy going, you name it, we had it. Our engagement photos were on such a freezing cold rainy day and somehow Neil made the photos incredible, and I am obsessed with my wedding day photos. My wedding party still talks about him. Having Neil as my photographer was the best wedding decision we made, and I recommend him to anyone! -

Words cant say enough!
Steve and Pat did an amazing job at our wedding. I cannot say enough good things about the organization, personalities and most importantly the photos! They got shots I still cant even believe are our photos. The creativity of their work brings out photos of a lifetime. If you're unsure about who to hire, this is definitely the right choice. You will not be disappointed! Thanks again steve and pat for creating such wonderful memories! -

We had Liza as our main photographer and Mike as the second. We were unbelievably impressed with the level of professionalism they had and willingness to work around everything. (Even shooting in the rain.) We have absolutely no regrets and I am so happy we were able to get Liza. She is officially our go-to photographer. She was speedy with getting back engagement pictures and even getting the complete wedding album done within a couple of days. Highly recommended!! -

Absolutely loved working with Neil! His pictures turned out amazing 😍💕 he was the photographer for my brother's engagement and wedding, and used him as our photographer for engagement and wedding. Great to work with, knows how to make you laugh, and all around enjoyable experience. Both groomsmen and bridesmaids loved him. Highly recommend!!! -

Neil Horn and his partner Mascha photographed our wedding at Road America on September 1st. They were both an absolute pleasure to work with. Neil was very humorous and kept us smiling and laughing throughout some of the one on one shoots. Preview set was online within 24 hours and the final set was delivered electronically within a 5ish days. Our guests can’t get over the quality and creativity of the photos. Thank you both for a wonderful experience. -

Best photographer ever!
We are so happy with our choice!! Neil and Rachel were phenomenal on the big day! I chose this vendor on just their broshure solely. Fun, energetic, straightforward, honest and genuine.

We were looking for a no frills, straight forward photographer who could provide us with amazing photos of our special day. And then came along Steve- exactly what we were looking for. We knew he was the photographer for us when we viewed his website (which is awesome in the way it's setup and the biographies are clever, creative and witty). After our first in person meeting with Steve, we confirmed he was "the one". His straightforward personality and easy going jokes made our engagement session a fun rehearsal. While teaching us basic poses, he also snapped photos of us just being us.
Steve and Neil were present on our wedding day. They both worked together seamlessly to document our special day, and got beautiful shots of the ENTIRE day. Steve was there to get photos of me cleaning my earrings before putting them on, as well as photos of the ladies trying to get my dress situated. Neil was there to take photos of the men getting ready, along with some GQ shots (and can't forget the Groom's memory foam tag left on his shoes). Steve and Neil captured funny moments, emotional moments, and beautiful moments from the celebration as a whole. They both fit in with our family and friends like a glove. Our guests complimented how they moved about the entire evening, and took photos of EVERYONE and EVERYTHING at the absolute right time. The day after the wedding, we had a "sneak peek" at some shots from the big day with easily accessible links on both Facebook and Instagram. The links made sharing with our friends and family incredibly easy.
The turnaround time that Steve provides is unmatched. Sunday evening we had access to our entire gallery of wedding photos. I am overjoyed with all of the photos because they transport me back to the big day, as they tell a story from beginning to end. Thank you to Steve and Neil for capturing unforgettable moments that we will cherish literally forever. As Steve would encourage us during photos "just keep macking" is exactly what we will do as a happily married couple. Thank you guys. -

Katie Sent on 12/26/2017Going with Steve Bowman Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He and Neil were professional, polite, hilarious, and super fun to work with. My husband and I both get really nervous about posing for photos, but Steve made us feel so comfortable at our engagement session that we were not worried at all about wedding photos. A HUGE plus, with how impatient I am, is how quickly you get your photos back! When we woke up the morning after our wedding, he already had previews of 30-something photos for us on Facebook, and then even more photos as part of a slideshow posted just a few hours later. By the end of the week, we had every single picture (over 700!!) sent to us in a flash drive via mail. We received tons of compliments on the photos, and also heard a lot of "Your photographers were like ninjas! They were everywhere, but you could hardly see them!"
Anyway, we are so happy with Steve Bowman and all of our photos. I highly recommend - You will not be disappointed. -

User1148138 Sent on 04/30/2013To say that we were satisfied with Steve is a huge understatement. We could not have been happier with Steve's work. He and Sheila (his wife) were able to capture every moment of the day that we weren't able to. He captured everyone's personality and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. He delivered as promised and we are so thrilled with the portfolio. They worked diligently to make sure the ambiance and energy were captured on the dance floor. Highly recommended and worth every penny!
