Steve Bowman Photography

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. Another example (I could give 50 more), he 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. 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!!!

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!!

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!

!! We have gotten SO many complements from family and friends about our photos. Highly recommend!!!!

ame and as always Steve captured our day perfect. he got every part of the wedding from getting ready, cool shots of the venue, the cake, the guests, the ceremony, dancing and then in his expert knowledge had us take pictures in a field in the rain and I could have never imagined I'd be the center of attention of pictures that belong in a magazine somewhere. All while being his normal funny self. they are the most genuine, gorgeous pictures I have ever seen and we got so many compliments from guests about our awesome photographer and how fun it was to work with him. As exhausted as he was that day.. I woke up to my pictures ready in the morning. Steve you are one of the best choices we could have made for our big day, we love working with you and owe you a trillion Thank yous!!

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!!

line of communication. I felt that they really wanted to be apart of our day and captured each moment perfectly. Overall, Steve and Pat definitely exceeded our expectations! I will recommend the pair time and time again.

very helpful pdfs with information and FAQs. Day of, Steve and Pat did an incredible job of keeping the day moving along while capturing all the fun. The day after, we were sent the gallery with all of the photos so we got to relive it before we even left town. Highly, highly recommend!

When it came to our wedding day, he was very thorough and efficient. He wanted the best pictures, and didn’t settle until we had it! He even had photos up the same night of our wedding to preview and the rest were ready in the next couple days. I will definitely be reaching out to Steve and his team for future photography needs!

ng the route for some candid picks, and even incorporating the spot we actually got engaged into the mix. When it came time for the big day… they had everything planned out. They walked us through it, easing our tensions along the way. They were not uptight… they went with the flow. Most importantly the photos were AMAZING… and the turn-around time was exceptional. We had our digital copies available 2 days after the wedding!!! I highly recommend these guys to anyone who wants amazing photos and a stress-free process!

ws in our pictures. We are so very happy with all the pictures and how Steve captured our perfect day.

seen from a wedding photographer. He is hilarious, responsive and efficient. He truly wants you to enjoy your day and to capture everything exactly as you're experiencing it. I woke up the next day and there was already a sneak peek available with 50+ photos and the whole gallery was shared with me later that morning. His turnaround time is incredible. His style is unique to the industry. And he's awesome. By the end of the day you will want him to be your bestie. Book him if you can!!

them for their own events! With little to no direction from us they captured the most amazing pictures! I will be recommending them to anyone that wants beautiful pics done! Hands down I would work with them anytime! Thanks for being so fantastic Steve and Pat! You guys rock!

at 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!

ement photos and wedding and reception! You will NOT regret going with him to document your wedding.

we needed. Fun and full of energy. Amazing the way he was able to be so professional while also keeping it fun and light for us and the guests. Through the entire day and night he asked us how we were and if there was anything specific we wanted. Another great perk to them was the timely responses to any emails or texts with questions or concerns even after the wedding. I would Hire them again without a second thought.

amount of words how much I recommend Steve to anyone looking for a photographer.

case on the wedding day as well. When the guys ended up getting ready in a different location than I thought, Steve didn't make me feel bad for the miscommunication and just went with the flow. He captured the fun and funny moments perfectly like the sequence of us jumping in the air, my husband kicking my butt and then getting accidentally wrapped up in my veil. It was a hilarious moment that truly we won't forget and now we don't have to! My wedding party and family has complimented him several times and keep asking where I found him! Taking pictures in-between the ceremony and reception didn't feel like work because it was fun. And seriously those are some of my favorite pictures! He worked so efficiently that we had enough time to truly relax and just hang out before we had to get to the dinner/reception. Also, we had a large sneak peek of our pictures BEFORE we went to bed THAT SAME night! I don't know of many other photographers that can do that but we were blown away by the quality of all the pictures we saw. And sometime the next day, we had the ENTIRE GALLERY to view! We didn't have to anticipate or wait for the beautiful photos. When you look at the pictures, you truly remember what you were feeling in that moment and that's so important because the day goes by so incredibly quickly! If you are looking for a wedding photographer, I would HIGHLY recommend Steve and his crew. Incredible pictures at lightening speed. Worth every single penny! :)

our photos, and it immediately brought us right back into the moment, often times bringing us to genuine tears. We keep watching the slideshow of the photos on a loop, and announced that “our favorite picture is coming up” approximately every 20 pictures. They somehow blended into the party, while also being everywhere and capturing everything at the same time. We never felt like we had camera lenses up in our face at any point. One of our guests jokingly mentioned how they both were moving like ninjas through the weeds and shrubbery during the ceremony… and we had no idea! That brought such a smile to our faces, because it perfectly encapsulates how hard they work to make things look so easy and effortless. We had complete trust in Steve when we felt a tap on our shoulder during the dance when he said we had a small window of a sunset to work with. We felt like models for the first time in our lives and they gave a us, couple who rarely has photos taken care of them, a confidence boost and the photos of a lifetime. Steve and Pat were incredible at providing direction, a sense of humor, and amazing talent which resulted in such a perfect product. We talked with multiple photographers during the wedding planning process, and Steve Bowman Photography was the best decision of our entire day. They were easy to get along with, great and timely with communication throughout the entire process, and we could not be any happier with the final result!!!

photographer because he made us and our entire bridal party totally comfortable and had us laughing the whole time, so our pictures turned out amazing and totally natural looking. Our entire bridal party commented on how wonderful and on top of everything he was. Steve caught such authentic moments that are so much more fitting for and special to us than forced poses that a lot of photographers ask you to do. And he posted a handful of pictures on social media the same night and got us our full gallery THE NEXT DAY, which is just unheard of. Finally, he was really great to communicate and work with. We had to reschedule our wedding due to Covid and he was by far the best vendor we dealt with in terms of being understanding, accommodating, and flexible. I am so glad we hired such a wonderful photographer and person to capture our special day!

aveled to both locations without a problem. We wanted photos that captured the emotions of the day, and Liza delivered amazing shots that were creative and conveyed our and our guests' happiness. She was professional and straightforward with expectations both in email and in person, but was also laid back enough to laugh with us and help us relax in front of the camera. Sam, the assistant photographer, was awesome as well and helped capture our day, perfectly. Both are great people. The quick turnaround on photos after the events was a huge plus for us, and our family and friends have loved going through the pics while the day is still fresh on everybody's minds.

he pictures turned out beautifully and we are so grateful to have them to look back on!

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!

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 straightforward 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!

t every special moment of the day is captured. I can't thank him enough for the pictures he took and how amazing he is to work with!
