Steven is a hidden gem for sure. I was just browsing for wedding photographer in New York when i saw Steven. I sent him a message and within 10 minutes he replied and after 30 minutes we had a zoom meeting and booked him directly.
We are a couple from Norway going to New York to get married and we wanted to take the photos in the city we both love so much. To have a photographer that know the secrets of the city aswell as the hidden gems around is truly amazing.
From the first encounter to the final good bye there was true professionalism, passion and dedication to get the best photos.
We would truly recommend Steven for all future events.
This is not the last time we will use his services.

Steven was our photographer for our wedding in the fall of this year. He was a pleasure to work with and handled all our requests well. He was very courteous and we had several guests comment how nice he was. Our photos also turned out great and we were able to get excellent portraits and iconic NYC locations near our venue. We definitely recommend Steven!

Steven is an excellent photographer and a wonderful person to work with to get the best possible photos. He was verprofessional in his prep work on a location he hadn't worked with before to produce a shot list that gave us some really wonderful pictures. He was also very friendly and flexible in dealing with our very large and often unruly families. We highly recommend Steven for your big day!

We had a great experience with Steven. He was not afraid to make decisions and he pushed us to think about exactly what shots we wanted leading up to the wedding. He was open to our ideas but also had great ideas of his own, including making some suggestions about the positioning of the ceremony that resulted in not only making the pictures better but made sure all our guests could see. He was punctual on the day of the wedding and took time to come out to our venue in advance of the wedding to see how we might optimize the photos. His assistant was also very helpful at our pre-ceremony Central Park shoot.

We recently had the most incredible experience with Steven during a surprise engagement photoshoot. From the very start, he was the epitome of professionalism and kindness, making what could have been a nerve-wracking event into a joyous and memorable occasion.
His warm demeanor and genuine enthusiasm for his craft made us feel at ease, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment of our special day. He seamlessly blended into the event, capturing candid moments and orchestrating stunning shots.
The quality of the images we received is nothing short of exceptional. We cannot recommend Steven highly enough. His professionalism, kindness, and outstanding photography skills make him an absolute joy to work with. If you're looking for someone to perfectly capture your special moments, look no further!

Where do we start. Firstly let us say that we would highly recommend Steven for your wedding photographer, the photographs he captured for us on our special day far exceeded what we expected.
From our first Teams meeting with Steven to his replies to the numerous e-mails we sent, Steven was always a pleasure to work with and nothing was too much trouble for him. On the actual day, himself & Dan (his assistant) put our nerves at ease and being the perfectionist Steven is, he would always make sure he 'got the shot'. We provided Steven with a 'wish list' of places we would like photographs taken, on the day we managed to do them all.
Besides being our photographer (and witness), Steven also recommended Brooklyn Promenade as the location for our wedding ceremony, having Manhattan skyline & Brooklyn Bridge as your back drop was stunning.
All in all we couldn't have been happier so only have one more thing to say 'book Steven as your photographer' :-)

Steven photographed our wedding and prepared photos and an album for us. His work throughout was excellent, from input on a schedule for photos during the event, to posing the family and guests, suggesting positive changes to some steps of the ceremony, capturing great moments, keeping the day on track, and working with us on the album. His layout and editing for the album were terrific, very professional, attentive to themes and telling the story through images, and with a great eye for combinations. We recommend Steven without hesitation for your special days!

From the initial consultation online from the UK to America to the final product, Steven Rosen exhibited unmatched expertise and pure passion for his craft. He took time to understand our expectations and needs ensuring that every aspect of our wedding aligned with our vision. His detail and commitment delivered exceptional results and this was evident throughout the entire process.
The most impressive aspect of Steven's service was his ability to create a comfortable and relaxed environment in which then could be used to allow genuine moments showing true expression and emotion to shine through within each photograph. The friendliness shown and approachable demeanour resulted in photographs that felt natural and authentic. Each photograph felt unique surpassing our expectations.
The professionalism shown extended above and beyond the initial photo shoot. Punctuality, reliability and clear communication throughout the process were commendable exceeding expectations in all areas.
We would highly recommend Steven Rosen and his first class photography. The images captured during our session are truly priceless, capturing cherished memories that will last a lifetime. Steven Rosen would definitely be our recommendation for special events or professional shoots to anyone seeking a top-tier photographic experience.
In conclusion, our experience was first class photography which provided an outstanding service that surpassed all expectations. The professionalism shown and technical expertise alongside the creative vision sets him apart from all others. His ability to to capture unforgettable moments was exceptional and we are confident in recommending Steven Rosen to anyone seeking timeless, professional and magical photographs.

We decided to work with Steven after a glowing referral from a good friend of ours. He was helpful, flexible, and ready to go the extra mile to capture our special day. His experience at the NYC marriage bureau was so helpful to make everything move smoothly. We appreciated his dedication to getting the perfect shot. We also loved that he understood that added nuance of photographing two grooms to make sure that we looked our best. All in all, a fantastic experience and would recommend to others.

Steven shot our engagement photos as well as our wedding, which was in the back garden of a restaurant on a sweltering July evening. It was super easy to deal with him because he anticipated everything and adapted when unexpected things came up on the day. Instead of doing the traditional stuff during our reception, we had a big, long dinner in a low-lit space crowded with tables. There wasn't a lot to photograph during this time, but Steven took the initiative to grab guests one-by-one and take their portraits in the garden. These photos turned out beautifully and make for lovely mementoes.
Steven also went well beyond his job duties to make sure we were set up for success. For example, right before I was meant to walk down the aisle, he noticed the venue staff had hung a few of our paper lanterns too low above the aisle. Had he not noticed, and roped our mercifully tall celebrant into raising them, I would have walked through an obstacle course instead of walking down an aisle!
I totally recommend Steven. He is charming, prepared for anything, and a great guy to have in your corner on your wedding day.

Steven definitely has the eye of an artist and it shows in his work. For our wedding last October; we had Steven do our engagement photos and entire wedding. He is very professional and on time. Very open to collaboration and at the same time we felt very comfortable and confident in his vision and decided upon letting him do his own thing and try to capture the event without much direction from us. We were very happy with the results. He also did great portraits for our guests (instead of having a photo booth) and will be doing professional photos for us soon. So he's kind of become our go-to photographer of sorts. Will continue recommending him to friend and strangers for this work.

You can't go wrong with Steven as your event photographer. He is very experienced and knows how to get the perfect shots for your special day(s). He comes well-prepared with multiple cameras, lens, etc and is very prompt. He is easy to work with, flexible, and the quality of his photographs is top-notch. Everytime I show photos to friends/family, the first comment is a comment on how the pictures are beautiful. His pricing is very reasonable. Highly highly highly recommend!

Steven is a friendly, professional photographer, who was able to get great photos in a dark setting on a compressed schedule. Highly recommended. Our wedding location was a lovely, but rather dark, nineteenth-century NYC church. Attendees who snapped shots of us with their phones during the ceremony and reception all failed to capture a clear image. However, on a compressed schedule, Steven's images were spectacularly lit in the dark church, and he was able capture all the moments--even redoing a few when attendees prevented certain shots. Steven came with an assistant and wore a bright jacket that proved decisive in being able to wrangle and pose the two diverse family groups (not all of whom spoke English or otherwise listened to instructions) into the desired .
Weddings are stressful enough and I'm sure many feel that a professional photographer is not needed when guests will have good enough cameras on their phones. Having been so fortunate to have Steven at my wedding, however, I could not now imagine not having these great photos that captured moments and rare family groupings. I am very grateful to Steven and would highly recommend him.

Steven was so amazing for our engagement photo shoot in NYC! We are doing a Broadway themed wedding and wanted to get some photos at the Broadway theaters and time square. Steven had great recommendations for locations and poses. He was so committed to getting great shots. At one point he was lying on the ground in the middle of time square to get the perfect angle. He was so fun to work with and made the whole shoot great.

We reached out because his portfolio had dream-like qualities that set him apart from all other photographers that we reviewed. Steven was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was kind, friendly and a consummate professional. He gave extremely clear directions about poses and settings, so the pictures came out beautifully. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

He was very communicative, professional, and was clearly very experienced and knowledgeable about NY courthouse weddings. He kept track of the weather for us and even proactively made alternate arrangements in case of rain. On the day of, he went above and beyond in finding the best spots around the courthouse, and taking amazing photos of our unphotogenic selves! He even stopped to tell me I had a hair out of place. We’ve never had better photos and we are so happy we made the decision to go with Steven. Thank you again!

We are incredibly happy to have chosen Steven as our wedding photographer! We booked Steven’s elopement package just a few weeks before our wedding, and he was very communicative and quick to reply, which was great because we did everything last minute. Steven’s prices are very reasonable for NYC, and his photographs are absolutely beautiful! We only had about an hour to take photos, and he did a great job getting all the family photos, couple portraits, and even some candids. He is particularly talented at portrait photography, and he really knows how to work with the space (we got married at the Merchant’s House, and he framed us superbly against the backdrop). He took his time setting us up in exactly the right position, and the photos are very artistic and well-composed. We’re super happy with his service, and we would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants unique and beautiful wedding photos.

Steven Rosen Photography did a phenomenal job with our engagement photos! We were running late due to some unexpected circumstances and he still accommodated us and made sure we were happy with the shots and that we got exactly what we wanted. There was some inclement weather and he even had umbrellas ready for us. We had a zoom meeting to go over what we wanted for our shoot prior to signing the contract and he remembered everything we discussed even though it was months prior. We were coming from out of state and had discussed everything down to suggested outfits and colors so that we would be coordinated and perfect for the time of day and location of the shoot. Another thing I absolutely loved is that he is super easy to get in contact with and replies super fast to emails and messages. Steven and his assistant Allan were such a pleasure to work with.
My fiancé and I are so pleased with the photographs, we're already talking about future photoshoots we could do with Steven! He made this entire process so much easier for us and would recommend him to anyone looking to capture their precious memories.

Steven is all you could ask for. Excellent communication, planning, execution, and timely delivery of wonderful photos. He helped make the best of some difficult conditions, including cold weather, physical limitations for myself, and a challenging (home) setup to photograph in. He nonetheless adapted to each challenge and came up with some great ideas for photos throughout the event. He made every step an easy one. Highly recommended and thankful for the quality of his person and product.

Steven is amazing! We hired him for our private elopement in Brooklyn, with very little in mind. All we knew we wanted was a couple of shoots at the Pebble Beach, where we would hold the ceremony (just us and the officiant). We were so lucky to have found Steven, who outperformed what we had in mind for the photos! He hired an assistant for the day, and took us to additional spots in the area, catching opportunities of great lighting, and guided us through poses. We had a great time during our photoshoot with Steven. He’s extremely talented, and not to mention, a very lovely person to have spent time with! He sent us the previews very quickly. We highly highly recommend him for your special event :)

Steven is amazing! We had a small fall wedding ceremony in Central Park and chose to work with him based on his online reviews and his experiences with photography in the park and were not disappointed! He was proactive in reaching out to us to coordinate leading up to the event to make sure all the details were in order. During the ceremony he was kind, professional and flexible with requests for specific photos (we had traditional cultural elements with requests for specific types of pictures which he went above and beyond to make sure he got). The final pictures are absolutely stunning and we are so happy with them! Highly recommend Steven as a wedding photographer.

Working with Steven was great from the very beginning! He was available at all times for questions, recommendations and suggestions, and made our process really easy for us. During the ceremony and reception, his eagle eye caught everything and everyone, and the pictures... oh, the pictures! They turned out amazing!! Do yourself (and your fiancé) a favor and hire him right away! You won't regret it!

Steven did a fantastic job of photographing our small elopement in Central Park. It was a slightly rainy and cloudy day, but this opened up a ton of photographic opportunities that Steven knew how to take full advantage of. He was able to get us photos alone in normally very-high-traffic areas with gorgeous diffuse lighting from the clouds.
In particular, he set up some incredible shots under the arches at Bethesda Terrace with diffuse lighting from the clouds. We also got great solo shots on Bow Bridge, where I proposed. After the shots in Central Park we went down to Bryant Park via subway and got some fantastic shots there as well as all along the way.
Steven utilized every minute together with us to get the best possible photos, taking into account our personal preferences as well as his extensive knowledge of photogenic features and landmarks in the city. I was impressed at his ability to suggest interesting and innovative photo ideas that we would have never thought of.
Steven was also patient and helpful with our small preparations for the ceremony itself, and helped us with staging and decorations to maximize the photography. He and his assistant went above and beyond to make the day special for us. The photos came out beautifully, and his online album support let us share our day with friends and family.
I could not be happier with Steven's services and highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for wedding photography.

Steven was a pleasure to work with. Very professional and talented. He made our wedding day so much more smoother and less stressful. Throughout the whole process, Steven was great with communication and planning. He scouted the location a month or so before the wedding, to get an idea on what type of shots he wanted to get.
We received our photos a few weeks after the wedding. The photos look amazing and we are thrilled with the quality.
We definitely recommend Steven!

Steven did a wonderful job with our Zoom wedding. We had to negotiate a small space with three livestream cameras distributed about, but he still managed to capture a wide range of shots from several locations that really enriched the photo memory of the event. We highly recommend him!

My wife and I are from out of town and got married in Central Park this summer. Being from out of town we didn't know any photographers in Manhattan and found Steven online. He was one of a few photographers we talked with before making our decision. We ended up choosing him because we could tell he had experience, knew the area extremely well, and was quite helpful in giving us ideas and suggestions on different locations to shoot. He even helped us find our Officiant.
After working with him, we couldn't have been happier. He was a great guide, knew all the perfect locations to shoot and knew exactly how to set up each shot. His assistant Charles even helped keep our dog company (who was a part of the experience). The pictures turned out beautiful and the next time we are in NYC for a special event, we will certainly use him again. Highly recommended!

Steven,
I cannot thank him enough. He is an exceptionally unique personality with such a great heart. Gem of a person. I cannot imagine how easygoing he is and to work with. Such professionalism he carries in his work, cant express. One thing I will specifically mention "the flexibility" he showed with us was commendable.
Apart from photography - he suggests the best poses, bring out the best in you, and most importantly the REAL YOU. The cherry on the cake was -he constantly communicating while working so that we feel relaxed and focus on each other and remember beautiful memories to get the best pictures.
We will always remember you for making our day most memorable. We love you! Thanks a Bunch!
