Elegance in every frame!
Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming professional in 2017, my journey has taken me across the United States and around the world, where I've had the privilege of serving more than 200 couples on their special day.
My approach to photography stands apart from traditional documentary styles. I focus on the natural colors and rich content of each moment, striving to highlight real-time emotions through thoughtful lighting and composition. My goal is to celebrate the unique narrative of every couple by capturing their happiness and love story with a distinct light-and-airy perspective.
For me, photography is more than just a profession—it's a way to document love stories in their purest form, creating memories that last a lifetime. I'm excited to share my passion and creativity with you, and to help tell your story through the lens of my camera.

To future couples seeking a wedding photographer, Steven is more than just a professional behind the camera; he is an artist who paints with light, capturing the beauty, joy, and love that define a wedding. We are eternally grateful for his artistry and dedication, and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in search of not just a photographer, but a true storyteller who will elevate your special day to a level of pure magic.
Unfortunately we were only able to do a pre-wedding photoshoot with him and not our wedding day due to availability. But the pre-wedding pictures are truly precious because we can include our fur baby with us. Highly recommended doing a pre-wedding shoot especially if you have fur babies. The wedding day will be too hectic and it's hard to include your pets on that day. I can't thank Steven enough for his amazing skills in capture the best moments in such short amount of time. It was only 1.5 hours of photoshoot but the results are outstanding. Steven knows exactly what to do to make us comfortable to pose and capture not just the scenery but our emotions as well. We have done multiple photoshoots so we know how hard it is to pose and get good angles on your facial expressions. By far, the photoshoot with Steven is the best experience. It was so quick and enjoyable, we did not sweat or grow tired at all. Even the groom/my husband was having a good time with Steven, and you know how annoying men are when it comes to do photoshoot ;) If the groom love the photoshoot experience, you know this photographer is hella good :)
Not only he's fast and precise in taking photos, his delivery time is amazingly fast. If I have to rate Steven, I'd give him 15/10 :) absolutely incredible job!
We don't know where we even begin to express our gratitude for the incredible work of my wonderful photographer, Steven, and his team. (Anh Vinh and Steven's beautiful wife, Connie, who was also an MC on my wedding day, was not just an MC but a true master of ceremonies, a guiding light ensuring our event was nothing short of magical.)
Steven's talent and passion for photography were unmistakable from the moment we met.
His skill behind the lens is remarkable. Every photo captured the essence of our day in the most breathtaking way possible. From the smallest details to the grandest moments, Steven had an impeccable eye for framing the perfect shot. The images are not just pictures; they are cherished memories frozen in time, each one telling a beautiful story of our wedding day.
What sets Steven apart is his talent, genuine care, and kindness. Throughout the entire process, he was not just a photographer but a supportive presence, ensuring everything went smoothly. His warmth and understanding made us feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera, resulting in such natural and stunning photos.
We cannot emphasize enough how much we adore our wedding photos. Each time we go through the pictures, we're transported back to that magical day, reliving every emotion and moment. It's a testament to Steven's remarkable ability to capture not just images but emotions, too.
If you're searching for a wedding photographer or an MC, Steven and his team are an excellent choice. Their talent, professionalism, and genuine care for their clients make them stand out in the industry. Connie, Steven's wife, is a talented MC who brings warmth and support to your event. She made our celebration unforgettable, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional MC. Booking Steven and his team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a remarkable photographer who genuinely cares about their clients.
Steven helped our friends to take their engagement photos, and my now husband and I were so impressed of his style, so when it was our time to look for the photographer for our big day, Steven was our first choice and the only photographer that we wanted to work with. Steven is friendly and easy to work with, and he is so good at capturing photos with natural lights and interactions between people. My husband and I was in a budget, but Steven was so understandable and willing to custom the package for us so that we could be within our budget :) On our wedding day everything got delayed, so we almost missed our wedding party photo session… But Steven did a great job and worked super fast to take photos for us and the photos were so great. All our friends and family love the photos that he took for us. We highly recommend Steven to everyone!
Any questions?
Steven and his team did an amazing job making my husband and I feel confident in our photos. He was a pleasure to work with the day of and got our previews back quickly. He did such a wonderful job capturing the emotion and sentiment of our wedding day and I would sincerely recommend him to any couples looking for timeless photos.
WOW!! Steven Nguyen Photography was one of the BEST INVESTMENT for out wedding. We're so glad we chose Steven and his team, they delivered everything on time and it was not hard to immediately say "YES" after our consultation call. Steven is simply an honest & nice guy, which was what stood out most during our zoom call. Besides his work, my husband and I felt we connected well with him and the trust was evident, since day one.
Steven was always responsive and courteous in all of our communication. I reserved my date with Steven about a year in advance to ensure that he locks in that date with us before someone else does (reserving a GOOD wedding photographer in Southern California can be competitive).
I love how all of our interaction/communication were more than just a transaction. My husband and I love working with Steven and we felt like we could totally hangout with him and his wife (Connie).
We didn't meet Connie until our wedding day and let me tell y'all...she is a whole different vibe (in a good way). I'm so glad she accompanied Steven, she was fun to be around, so down to earth, and awesome to be around. She brings this burst of energy and fun to the wedding team.
Steven's artistic work made it look like it was a million dollar wedding (I don't know how, but he did it). We literally couldn't stop smiling and giggling at all the candid moments, he captured it all. With a wedding part size of ~250....it's hard to keep track of who showed up that day, but he got everyone.
To simply summarize, we are IN LOVE with our photos. Steven's work evokes a sense of elegance, filled with candid emotions that tell a story between two people in the most honest and organic way.
Reserve your special day with Steven to ensure that your gallery will be delivered beyond your expectations.
My wife & I could not be happier with the quality of work & professionalism shown by Steven and his crew. In the chaos of family members and friends meeting for the first time, Steven quietly captured so many beautiful moments. During our first look, he made everyone feel at ease and never failed to get everyone laughing for pictures. At the ceremony, he caught all the important moments without being disruptive to our intimate ceremony. His talent and creativity shone through in every shot, creating so many stunning images that we will cherish forever. We cannot recommend Steven enough for his professional, calming attitude, and unique beautiful style of photography!
We had the honor of working with Steven for our wedding. Not only did he do the photography for our wedding, but he also shot our engagement photos. On the day of our wedding, the photography team consisted of Steven, his wonderful wife, Connie, Henry, and Vinh. Side note: Connie can emcee and I would highly recommend her because she has the BEST personality and is extremely funny. Prior to the day and the day of, they became like family. Each and every one of them was extremely kind and really went out of their way to fulfill our dream day and relive that day over and over again through their work.
Steven is really a professional at his craft and in his field. He has a creative vision that’s able to tell a love story or make you feel an emotion through a photograph alone. Throughout the process of working with him, we became really close to him and Connie and hope to keep in touch throughout the years.
We are beyond thankful to have worked with Steven. The initial meetings, planning process, and discussions leading up to the event were very informational and Steven provided all the details we needed, while ensuring that our input was also taken into consideration. Steven, we are forever blessed that we had the opportunity to work with you and we love you guys more than you know! We know you will continue to flourish in your work and we will share these beautiful moments forever!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer, Steven is the most dependable, friendliest, funniest, and most amazing one out there. If you have any doubts, take a look at the magic he created in the photos! Thanks, Steven. We love you! - Joseph & Josephine
My Wife and I couldn’t be happier with the amazing job Steven did. We will cherish and share these wonderful candid snapshots of our family and friends coming together to celebrate our love. Steven and his team were able to navigate the long 12-hour Vietnamese wedding ceremony with dedication and professionalism. His team were able to stage the shots quickly while provide concise directions so we could meet our busy wedding schedule. They emphasized that we should enjoy our big day. Whether it was firing off jokes, providing valuable assistance, or answering our questions, Steven and his team were a dream to work with and we couldn’t recommend them more. Our friends have also hired him after seeing his work.
Steven did a fantastic job with our beach elopement photos! He was friendly and consistent with his communication, he scouted the beach a week in advance to find the best location, helped us with poses and feeling comfortable in front of the camera, and most importantly delivered outstanding photos on time. We can’t thank him enough - book Steven for your wedding photos!
I would give Steven 20 stars because he is simply the best! We booked him to shoot our wedding at South Park Center in DTLA, and it was easily one of the best decisions we've ever made.
As far as photography skills, Steven is a master of his trade. His artistic style is light, airy, and sophisticated, which matched really well with our modern/minimalist theme. We loved that he employs a balance of candid and posed shots, and that he has a sharp eye for detail and knows exactly how to position your hair strands for portraits or where you should stand to minimize harsh shadows based on the angle of the sun. Not to mention, Steven is a man of impeccable work ethics who is constantly & quickly learning new ways of improving his photography & editing process - so by the day of your event, he might've improved drastically from the day you booked him!
Not only is Steven a talented photographer, but he is also one of the best guys you'll ever meet. When we had to eventually postpone our wedding from 2020 to 2022, he changed our date without any hesitation and even gifted us a mini engagement shoot. And despite how busy he is, he always finds time to respond quickly and patiently to our countless questions. He is also very accommodating, often going to the extra mile (or 1000 miles) to make sure not only the pictures come out great, but the couple's big day goes as smoothly as possible.
Aside from the obvious quality in his work, we were especially impressed with Steven's incredible turnaround time. He gave us over 200 edited sneak peek shots literally the next day! And when we mentioned that we'd like to send out thank you cards soon, he sent us all the edited guest photos within 2 weeks. Many guests were very surprised how quickly we received the professional pictures.
Of course, we can't wrap up on Steven without acknowledging his lovely partner and assistant, Connie. She is hilarious yet professional, and an absolute joy to be around. The pair of them make a wonderful team that will surely bring a smile to your face! Finally, a huge thank you to Steven and Connie for not only capturing our dream wedding, but also being some of the best vendors to work with!
Steven and his team were beyond amazing to work with! They were very professional and polite to us and our guests. With a busy timeline at four different locations, they were able to capture every event of our wedding day beautifully. Overall, we were very satisfied with the service Steven provided. From the high quality of the instant print cards to the bright and airy wedding photos, we loved it all!
Steven deserves 10 stars. He is such an amazing and the best photographer ever!!! I’m glad we chose him to be our wedding photographer. We booked him before the pandemic and had to postpone our wedding. Steven helped us accommodate our date and made it work out for us. He spent time helped us to search for places from taking engagement photos to the wedding date. Steven is truly a professional in his field. He is dedicated, talented, and also a very fun person to work with :). He always goes above and beyond of just being as a photographer to make sure he captures the most memorial moments of your special day. We couldn’t thank him enough. I highly recommend Steven Nguyen Photographer to everyone. Trust me, you will not be disappointed!!!
If you are on the fence about who to book for your wedding, book Steven Nguyen Photography and thank me later. Steven and his team are very professional, they will work with you, guide you, help you throughout the whole day. They were my “day of coordinator” because I didn’t have one. The photos came out amazing. If you are into Dream and Airy style, don’t hesitate. He will make your wedding photos turn out exactly the way you wanted to. I am Asian and my husband is black, we both were very picky about who to pick for our photographer and Steven did not disappoint. Thank you from the bottom of our heart for the absolute best photos on our wedding day anh.
Steven is an amazing photographer and editor. His work ethic is beyond incredible and loves his work. You can see the effort and passion in what he does and he is so easy to work with, I'm so happy I had him as our photographer. I highly recommend Steven to do any photography work, he goes above and beyond to make you happy and helps direct the shots if needed. We were new and didn't know what poses or how we should look in the pictures, but Steven was patient and really helped show us his great vision.
The photos speak for themselves.
If I could rate Steven 10 stars, I would! Is there anything this man can not do? He is a friendly and phenomenal photographer whose passion and creative talent shine through each and every photo he takes. From the very first emails we got after booking him to our engagement session and wedding day, Steven has always been very professional, punctual, and accessible to answer my million questions and concerns, and helps me calm my nerves in the days leading up to our wedding.
His products, from photos to prints, are absolutely beautiful, and his attention to detail and ability to multi-task while capturing our photos is amazing.
Steven takes the time to chat and gets to know us, and learns how he can best tell our love story. He asked us to add our favorite photos we could find on Pinterest to a mood board, and discussed what styles and poses we like, and why. He shows us and the bridal party poses and shares tips on how to look our best while making us feel as comfortable as possible. He takes the extra time to ensure everybody's good side is captured - but is so tech-savvy to switch between multiple pieces of equipment quickly, and gets many close up shot and wide shot one after another and makes funny quirky comments to make us laugh so we don't feel awkward like we are being posed. I have nothing but respect and good things to say about Steven! Highly recommend to anyone who is still looking for a wedding photographer. You will not be disappointed.
