Best Vendor Choice!
Don’t walk, RUN to hire Steven Dray as your wedding photographer! I am absolutely blown away by the magic created with his photography. We had both our engagement and wedding photos done with Dray. He instantly made us feel SO comfortable, I really couldn’t believe it. My husband especially doesn’t love getting his picture taken, and I was so impressed with the ease we felt during our engagement session and subsequently our wedding day. Dray is so passionate about his work and people, and it really shows. The photographs so far have been out of this world and I cannot wait to see the rest! Best ever.Steven Dray Photography's reply:
It is my JOY and honor to work with clients like you, who make the experience EASY and EXCEPTIONAL by trusting me with your photos. You're the BEST! -

Passion, Timeless Artistry and Incredible Experience
Could not recommend Dray enough! His ability to capture special moments with such emotion and beauty is unmatched. We did our engagement photos with Dray and he photographed our Fall 2023 wedding. Every single interaction felt like talking to a friend. Dray (and his wonderful wife Jaime) were so kind and took great care in getting to know my husband and I, as well as what our needs were for both occasions. They were always open to answer any questions we had and I knew with their vast knowledge and experience in photographing weddings the guidance we got was solid. Dray's calm demeanor and warm personality were so integral in building trust, that come wedding day my husband and I had no doubt that the photos he and Aaron captured would be momentos we cherished for years to come. Our preview images have only solidified these feelings!Steven Dray Photography's reply:
Ahhh! We love all the example photos you posted. Thank you for sharing your experience with the world, it means SO MUCH to us! xoxoxo -

Dray is a true artist, a kind soul, and his photography speaks for itself. He is so passionate about his work and it shows with how he handles his business from initial consultation to delivering the final photos. Dray will treat you like an old friend and hype you up all day. I have never felt more comfortable in front of a camera before. I had a small set back on my wedding day after forgetting my veil at the hotel. Dray was able to keep me calm and adjust our timeline on the fly to ensure that we still got every shot that we wanted. This is what an experienced professional can do for you. Dray will be along your side every step of the way.Steven Dray Photography's reply:
You are THE BEST! I am so glad we got to meet years ago and then finally work together for your big day! You and Max are both incredible humans who deserve the very best. Thank you for this review! -

Steven Dray was PHENOMENAL! From start to finish, he was top-notch, professional, and EVERY vendor knew him (and sang his praises)! Dray was one of our first vendor we booked. We heard about him through a photographer friend. He has AMAZING experience in many different venues, including our venue, Pittsburgh Botanic Garden. His photography and photos were more than we could have ever dreamed of! He makes you feel like a friend from the moment you hire him. 1000/100 recommend!Steven Dray Photography's reply:

Dray is not only a wonderful photographer, but also a wonderful person. In addition to capturing our wedding day with Aaron (who is also wonderful!), he also travelled all the way to NYC to capture our engagement shoot in Central Park. He is a true artist. He has a great eye and did an amazing job capturing the relationship of my husband and I in our photos. He is also very easy to work with and is very responsive. We look forward to having him take our photos and buying some of his other artwork in the future!Steven Dray Photography's reply:
There is no way I can every tell you how much your kind words mean to me! I loved working with you and am so grateful for your trust. Can't wait to see what the future hold for us! -

Best photographer in pittsburgh
Dray is hands down the absolute BEST!!!! There are not enough words to describe his talent, kindness, professionalism, and overall awesomeness. He truly made the entire process from engagement to wedding incredibly more special. His passion for art and photography is evident through his work and his thoughtfulness in the most stressful months of wedding planning and even post-wedding are sincerely second to none. My husband and I are so grateful to Steven and his wife, Jaime for the most amazing experience and feel we have made a lifelong friend. We cannot wait to call you to capture more of our future family!!Steven Dray Photography's reply:
Love you guys, and being part of your special day! Thank you for leaving this review and for trusting me to capture these moments. :) -

Steven was so amazing! From our first consultation call to our wedding day he made sure to keep in contact with us throughout the whole process. He is very professional, but is also very personable and down to earth! It was obvious from the first time we met with him that he cares a lot about his clients and likes to get to know us as people - which for us will forever be appreciated and valued! Not only is he an awesome person but his work speaks for itself because he is so talented! Our preview pictures are INCREDIBLE! He captured every perfect angle and moment… we are so excited to see the rest of our gallery. We highly recommend booking Steven for any of your photography needs. We are so happy we chose Steven and are grateful that were able to have such an awesome guy be a part of our big day!
Steven Dray Photography's reply:
WOW! Thank you for this kind and thoughtful review Alicia! I loved being a part of your big day. You are both so sweet and I'm honored you chose me! -

Dray is BEYOND fantastic!! The whole experience from the intake meeting, to booking our wedding date, the nitty gritty/planning in between to the day of the wedding was such a pleasure working with Dray and his wife! Dray is passionate about capturing every part of our special day from getting ready to the last dance in the rain! He was there to capture everything. Even our guests commented about how awesome Dray was. When the guests ranted and raved about our cookie table, Dray was mentioned in the next compliments from the guests. Everyone said how “cool, fantastic, incredible” he was and my husband and I couldn’t agree more!
Thank you, Dray for making our day even better than we could’ve imagined!Steven Dray Photography's reply:
You both reminded me of why I do what I do! You are the best! I'll always remember your fireworks! Thanks for allowing me to document your day. -

Incredible
The only word to describe Steven Dray is AMAZING! If I could rate him 10 stars I would! Steven was my sister's wedding photographer in 2018 and I knew that I wanted him as a photographer at my wedding once my time came around. He was one of the first vendors I contacted when I got engaged because I HAD to have him capture this special day!
Steven is an incredible, creative, and passionate photographer. He has a true talent. He knows how to get the perfect lighting and angle to make anything look good!!! While we were getting ready, the bridal suite was a mess and the bridesmaids were running around trying to get ready. During this time, he managed to capture amazing photos in this room with so much chaos. All he needed was a subject and a window!
Also, he makes it a priority to build rapport and establish a comfortable relationship. He truly listens to aspects of your wedding you want him to capture and makes it all come true in a natural way. It so nice to work with a photographer that you not only appreciate their art, but you appreciate and respect them as a person. I will definitely be using Steven Dray Photography again in the future to capture special life moments.Steven Dray Photography's reply:
I cannot with you. Thank you for this GLOWING review, I am so grateful to have gotten to know you and your amazing families! And to take your photos! -

My wife and I shot with Steven on several occasions, including our engagement shoot and two wedding photo shoots. I am not one who is used to being photographed professionally and he made it SO very easy for me and my wife each time that I ended up having a lot of fun on each of the shoots! Most importantly, our photos have consistently turned out FANTASTIC which I 100% attribute to his raw talent and eye for what makes a quality photo. I have been consistently impressed with his ability to instruct us on how to have the perfect pose (while still managing to look natural), find the perfect lighting, make full use of the various landscapes we have shot at, and most importantly make it ENJOYABLE! If you are looking for a professional photographer in the Pittsburgh area for a wedding or other event, seriously look no further because he is the best! Thanks for all your hard work, Dray!!Steven Dray Photography's reply:
Tyson! Thank you for your review! I loved working with you all the times I got to! -

Savannah M. Sent on 07/20/2021Phenomenal photographer and human being
When looking for a wedding photographer, or photographer of any kind, don’t look further than Steven Dray. From the second I had my first phone call with him, I knew I loved him. What would have been six months before our wedding, my fiancé and I got together with him for an engagement shoot in downtown Beaver. It was amazing how comfortable he made us feel and seriously felt like a friend. He picked the coolest spots and made old and run down look glamorous. Through three date changes and a last minute venue change, Steven stuck with us. On the wedding day he came in and took charge, but all while still being kind and making everyone in the wedding feel like a million bucks. My thirteen year old nephew is about to start photography school and Steven let him practice with a few shots even though he had a very strict schedule to adhere to. As beautiful as a person as his subjects he captures, I would love the opportunity to work with Steven again, or at least grab a beer with him. Follow him on Instagram to see a glimpse at his life with his beautiful wife and kids. It shows how relatable and passionate he is about capturing love, and you can tell he does it in his off time as well.Steven Dray Photography's reply:
You are incredible! I had such an amazing time celebrating with you. Can't wait for you to see the WHOLE gallery! -
