Steve Bowman Photography

Steve shot our wedding and he was a fantastic photographer. He was able to capture tons of candid moments from the start of the day to the dancing. He was easy to work with, a great communicator and kept everything moving along at a good pace. I recommend Steve for any wedding. He also has an incredibly fast turn around time for getting the photos to you. 10/10 service and photographer.

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! Thank you so much Steve.

Steve was recommended to us through my cousins 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. He had everyone laughing while taking pictures. We received many, many compliments about Steve after the wedding. We even got our sneak peak the night of our wedding, and our whole album the next day, which was icing on the cake. I highly highly recommend choosing Steve as your photographer for your special day!

This guy! My favorite vendor from my entire wedding. His straightforward, no fussy, direct approach topped with his dry whit humor made him the best! Wedding photos can be a bit ackward with wicked social anxiety, and his humor lightens up the entire mood and ensures you feel like a friend. He provided us with so much guidance throughout our planning and even more so on the big day. It was so refreshing to find him. As soon as I got on his website and read through his info, I caught onto his personality, which for US made our decision. He listened to our ideas, cut the anxiety with a joke, and ensured to capture all the timeless candids I love. He's also quite speedy on getting you your shots after events, so you're not left scratching your head for weeks. Highly HIGHLY recommend him...absolutely the best choice we made damn near this entire process. When the wedding is all over, and you're a little bitter, you'll likely never get to "hang out" with your photographer again...that says something!

Steve was everything we were looking for in a photographer. He communicated very effectively which was really important for us since we were coming from out of state. For both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures he did a great job of keeping the mood light while also providing the professionalism and attention to detail required for how important the wedding was to us. He's clearly done this for a long time and was really efficient and took a lot off our plate which helped keep the day as stress free as possible. We got back a ton of great photos in a really timely manner. He was able to capture all the biggest moments from a variety of different ways. One thing that stuck out to us was we were one bouquet short for the bridesmaids photos and the way he arranged and took the photos made it so you don't even realize it. Really skilled in all the little ways like that. Would highly recommend!

Steve was so great to work with! We had celebrated our ceremony separately and had hired him to capture the reception with friends and family. He made us feel comfortable and let us have fun with the pictures we wanted!

Steve Bowman & his team not only captured our day perfectly, but he made it so easy & stress free. I knew this was the photographer for our wedding as soon as I read his bio - he's quick & snarky but in the best way possible. If you are looking for someone to add even more laughter, smiles, & charm to your special event, look no further. Honestly we wanted him to stay as a guest because he was such a pleasure to work with! We didn't want the same stuffy, staged photos that many other weddings have; we wanted beautiful & fun candids primarily, & SB delivered! I didn't have much defined as a "must" for our wedding, but Steve Bowman as our photographer was a must for me. He's quick & snarky in the best way possible, making jokes & people smile from the moment he arrived. They have such an eye for candids, & captured so many shots/candids to remember the littlest things, such as the puppet show in the playroom at the church to the "Something Old" tiny doll from my grandmother stuffed in my bouquet. The guy was all over the place at our reception - I cannot believe how much he was able to capture. Even going through photos for this review was difficult because we LOVED THEM ALL! My maid of honor was a photographer & even she reached out separately to say how excellent he was. We even had a curve ball thrown at us the day of our wedding when during our post-ceremony photos the park was slammed with people because Flamingos decided to stop in Port Washington that day! But Steve & Katie kept the audience at bay & the show rolling. Not just excellent photographers, but really enjoyable people to be around. You can't go wrong with him. It's all he does (not his side gig), & we had our pictures within 48 hours of the wedding - WOW, that's pretty fantastic! I'm sure many couples have moments after the wedding where "we could have done this instead..." but Steve Bowman Photography has never once been one of those! A++, all the gold stars, absolutely a perfect 10. Thank you, Steve, sincerely!!

Steve was a fantastic photographer and a fantastic person to work with. I’ve done a lot of photography in my free time, so it was important to me to find someone who approached wedding photography with an artistic eye and was going to take photos that felt truly special. It was immediately clear that Steve was the right person for the job. He was also very communicative and friendly, putting my partner and I at ease from the very beginning of our engagement shoot. This was the first time I’d ever had professional photos taken of me, and he directions were easy to follow and made me feel confident in how I looked. Our wedding party agreed that he was great to work with. Also, Steve has the fastest turnaround time of any photographer I’ve ever met. For both our engagement and wedding photos, he had the entire 500+ photo album back to us the NEXT DAY. That’s not because he sent a bunch of bad photos with no edits; it’s because, as he stated, he takes good photos the first time so they don’t need a bunch of edits. Finally, Steve charges a great price for the quality of photos and service. Some vendors were charging double for the same hours and number of photos. I would work with Steve again in a heartbeat.

Steve is awesome!!! The pictures came out great (love the candids) and he was so easy and fun to work with. It felt like one of our friends was just hanging out taking pictures. I would give him 10 stars if I could. 100% recommend. Our engagement photos were equally amazing.

I don’t know where to start with Steve. He and his team are nothing but amazing. From engagement photos to wedding day he turns what could be a stressful time of “getting the perfect shot” to an enjoyable experience that leaves you smiling and laughing almost the whole time. When Steve was up to bat for formal photos, moving masses of people into an aesthetically pleasing arrangement, he did it with ease. He had the entire wedding party laughing almost the whole time. It seemed like he was there to entertain us and pictures were a bonus! When it came time for the reception, he was where he needed to be, when he needed to be there. He did such a good job that I don’t even remember seeing him throughout the night, staying out of the way but getting the best shots imaginable. Andy was also such a pleasure to work with. My wife really asked a lot out of him and he did nothing but exactly what she asked. I couldn’t have asked for a better Batman and Robin duo than Steve and Andy. As for delivery, I am writing this review 2 days after my wedding and i have already shared pictures with friends and family. Already laughing and crying with each other reminiscing less than 24 hours after the event. I’ve heard horror stories about photographers not delivering but that is NO issue for Steve. I couldn’t imagine having used any other photographer. I truly feel bad for couples that do not get the pleasure of working with Steve on their big day. He made our day even more special than it already was going to be and I can’t thank him enough for that.

We are so happy with our wedding photos! Steve is wonderful to work with. He communicated with us as needed, took direction of what type of pictures we wanted, and was so much fun! He did a great job of making us laugh to bring out our natural smiles. He made the day enjoyable and not overwhelming. He does a lot of candid photos, which we absolutely loved and also took some staged ones that we requested. Would absolutely recommend him for your next event!

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.

The best photographer. I really cannot say enough good things about Steve and his team. Even before meeting him I was impressed with his immediate responses to all my questions. He made us comfortable and the pictures he took are unbelievable. Not to mention we received some pictures the night of our event. Book Steve and his team without any hesitation and you will be so happy you did - I promise!

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. We received so many compliments from our guests on the professionalism and demeanor of our photographers. The photos we received, shortly after our wedding I may add, are truly photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

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!

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 both make what could be an incredibly awkward situation fun and easy. 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!

Wow! All expectations I have ever had of a photographer were blown out of the water, Every laugh and smile was so genuine. From the start he was kind funny and quick to respond. SO many guest at our wedding complimented how he was everywhere and our whole wedding party commented how easy it was to have fun and take pictures with him. It never felt stiff or unnatural. We just do not have enough nice things to say about Steve. Please hire him you will not regret it, seriously! Oh, 1 more thing we got our pictures back THE NEXT DAY! no joke, whole gallery, NEXT DAY! Hire this man!

Steve (and Katie) is great! I loved working with him and he's also so fun to be around. He never felt like he was there to be a hassle, hardly ever knew he was there at all and yet captured everything and more that we wanted him to. Would recommend him to anyone!

Steve and Patrick are phenomenal photographers!!! They had us laughing and smiling, they didn’t make you feel like you had a camera in your face all day! They captured all our special moments from getting ready, to our first looks, walking down the aisle, to taking shots with friends, first dances, bridal party, family and just the bride n groom. Both Steve and Patrick captured amazing moments and they are phenomenal!!!

Steve is an amazing photographer. Easy to work with. Great at making you relax by joking around. I recommend him to everyone I know that’s getting married or thinking about it.

There truly aren't enough great adjectives to describe Steve and what he meant to us on our wedding day! He was not only professional and prompt, but he made the day incredibly fun. Everyone knows, the 'picture responsibilities' aren't typically the most exciting aspect of your day...but with Steve, he had us laughing the entire day and made the experience enjoyable (even for those wedding party members that aren't typically a fan of being in the limelight). I even had several married couples tell me they wish they had hired him for their wedding!! All in all, there's no one else I would ever contact to take pictures for a big day (wedding, baby announcement, big event!) Thank you, Steve, for making our day so memorable. Oh yeah, and the pictures...they're adventurous, unique and PHENOMONAL!!

We discovered Steve on the Knot. Between looking at his 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.

11/10! Steve (and Katie) made our wedding so wonderful. We got so many compliments from all of our guests on the photos and just how they interacted on the day of. I love the photos that they took of my new husband and our bridal party, but I also love the photos and candids they got of all of our guests. I've already started recommending them to any couples we know!

Steve and Pat are the only option when choosing a photographer! They are so wonderful and take the most perfect and beautiful pictures. He is so good at capturing perfect moments and emotions that you didn't even notice yourself. Many of my guests didn't even notice them because they were so great at just blending in. They take their pictures so quick because he has a perfect eye for what will look beautiful. We had 30 mph winds and decided to try outside photos anyways and they are literally my favorite from everything. They are awesome and I would recommend them to EVERYONE who has just gotten engaged.

We worked with Pat B. He was great! The level of service through every stage was top notch and the pictures came out so well. Would highly recommend to anyone.

We hired Pat from Steve Bowman photography and he did an AMAZING job. This company was reccomended through a friend and Pat along with his wife came out to shoot our wedding as a superstar photography couple. I have gotten some sneak peak photos back and they caught very special moments without anyone realizing that they were there. They added creative flare and we trusted them with the types of shots to get and where to go for those shots. It paid off. The photos so far are absolutely magical!

Steve's personality on paper drew us in immediately. In real life, he was just the "character" we needed. We were looking forward to meeting him for our engagement session and then had a blast during our wedding pictures. Steve helped us feel comfortable, less awkward, and rolled with whatever we wanted to do even though we had NO CLUE what to do or say. He was prepared, calculated, helpful and truly felt like a guest that was just taking pictures.

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!

We were looking for a photography team that was exceptionally personable, highly qualified and talented while within our budget and Steve Bowman photography exceeded all of our expectations and hopes! All of our pictures turned out beautifully!!! We have gotten SO many complements from family and friends about our photos. Highly recommend!!!!

If I could give Steve more than 5 stars I would in a heartbeat. We met Steve at a wedding my husband and I stood up in a few years ago and my husband (who really wanted no part in planning anything for ours) knew he HAD to have Steve. our day came 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 and his assistant Eric were wonderful to work with on our big day (5/15/22). He was exceptionally accommodating prior to the big day, and we were able to complete all of our meetings via FaceTime, which worked best for our busy schedules. 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!!

Steve and Pat were fun, professional, witty, efficient, and overall amazing throughout the entire experience. We received both our engagement and wedding photos within 24 hours. From the beginning until days after our wedding Steve kept an open 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.

Steve came highly recommended by a friend, and now I'll be the one recommending! Steve and Pat shot my January Milwaukee wedding and the process and the results were both fantastic. Communication beforehand was excellent - Steve sends a lot of 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!

Steve was very responsive to all our messages. He was so easy to work with! When we mentioned a place to take our engagement photos, he was all for it, no questions asked. His sense of humor definitely made taking awkward photos so much easier! 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!

These guys were absolutely amazing! They were funny, detailed, professional and easy going. They found a perfect spot (actually several spots) for our engagement photos. The told us where to meet them, and then we went on our way - stopping along 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!

If you’re thinking of booking Steve for your special day, do it! Steve was so awesome to work with from start to finish. He is professional, timely, and so fun to work with. He made our wedding party feel at ease the whole time which really shows in our pictures. We are so very happy with all the pictures and how Steve captured our perfect day.

Steve and his team are incredible and I highly recommend booking them for your wedding day! Steve candidly captured the true emotions of our day. The photos are authentic, outstanding quality and unlike everything else your friends/family have 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!!

We had Steve and Pat at our August 14th 2021 wedding. They were amazing! As 2 ppl that didn’t know anything about organizing wedding pics, they made everything so easy and seamless! All of our guests raved about both of them and want to hire 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!

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!

Steve is one of a kind! He truly understood the vibe of our wedding, and with covid, he also photographed our reception a year later. He was super flexible, and the turn around is UNREAL! I love every single picture he has taken for our engagement photos and wedding and reception! You will NOT regret going with him to document your wedding.

Patrick was amazing for us. He was the perfect fit from the first meeting. We were specific that we did not just want staged shots, but more candid and raw photos for our wedding. He delivered. The vibe they had all day was perfect for what 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.

I can't say enough about the job he and his partner did. Steve made everything fun, his photos are spectacular, and I cannot believe how quickly we received our photos. Steve was professional and made the whole day fun! I cannot express in any amount of words how much I recommend Steve to anyone looking for a photographer.

Seriously, look no further! I honestly can't say enough good things about Steve, his talent, his crew, and the phenomenal pictures he produces! Our engagement session was so much fun and he had us laughing the whole time. And this was the same 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! :)

Steve and Pat were absolutely incredible!!! We were dumbfounded at the quality and turnaround time of receiving the engagement and wedding photos (a sneak peak the same day and the rest of them the day after). They captured so many emotions in 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!!!

Wedding photos were never something I looked forward to because I find the whole posing thing awkward/uncomfortable and that usually comes through in the resulting pictures. So I was so incredibly fortunate that I hired Steve to be our wedding 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!

Liza was great to work with as the photographer for our engagement and wedding photos. Our engagement photos were on the Chicago Riverwalk and turned out beautifully, while our ceremony was in Beloit, WI. Liza and her assistant photographers traveled 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.

Fantastic!! My now husband and I can't say enough how much Steve and his team perfectly captured our engagement and our big day! Steve and Pat were so friendly, welcoming, and made the picture taking process a breeze! Thank you so much Steve! The pictures turned out beautifully and we are so grateful to have them to look back on!

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!

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 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!

Simply the best of the best. Every detail I asked for was captured. He went to all locations, took all the angles, and the turn around of getting pictures was lightening fast! Steve bends over backwards to make sure everyone is pleased and that 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!

We chose Pat from Steve Bowman photography for our tiny COVID wedding at the Pabst Theater. Pat was amazing to work with, and took beautiful pictures of our day. I cannot recommend working with this vendor enough. We choose our elopement package at the Pabst specifically for the pictures and were not disappointed. Pat and Justin even braved the insane windchill to do a few outside pictures for us. Look no further, you found a remarkable photography team.

We hired Neil and his assistant Mascha for our big day and they were worth their weight in gold. Both literally hiked miles to make sure our adventurous spirits were captured on film over the course of our engagement photos. On our wedding day, Neil played a role far beyond expectations. He and Mascha artfully captured our day (and night) in a way no one else could. Would definitely recommend this pair to my closest family and friends.
