About This Vendor
Wedding Photographers of the Ozarks
Marilyn and I run a full service photography and videography company serving the whole midwest and destination wedding couples. We are based in Branson, MO near the famous Big Cedar Lodge. We have worked with hundreds of couples over the past decade and seek to be fun, professional, and deliver the absolute best images possible. We are always looking for this little candid moments of your wedding day that can never be repeated or staged. I, Steve Jones, work with my wife Marilyn on wedding galleries. Marilyn was my second shooter until we started having babies. Now she helps me with editing and making your photos look absolutely perfect. Our online galleries are gorgeous and we have endless options to get you a perfect package that hopefully will not blow your budget if you have one. As professionals, we totally respect your wedding day and take absolute rigorous care of your photos backing up everything during the capturing of your wedding and in the office making sure nothing gets lost or damaged. Thankfully, we have had only five-star customer reviews and people have only been super happy with our efforts, we are super thankful to work with our couples. Our couples are absolutely the best part of our business. We can do bookings over the internet or meet on video chat or in person meetings to get to know you before booking. We really love getting to do this business because we know the regret of not having professional wedding photos to look back on and we now get to deliver the most gorgeous, professional images imaginable to couples, which we know is incredibly special to them. Voted "Best in Weddings" every year with the Knot is definitely a honor, but it is really because our clients were willing to come on here and tell their experience with working with us. Even though Marilyn doesn't shoot weddings with me, I love the second shooters I hire and am so happy I have some of the best photographer friends in the world whom all have mad skills helping me deliver stellar images. I wouldn't want to hire anything but the best for my couples. Not sure if you have time today or not, but please reach out to me, ask me any questions or call me if you need a wedding photographer. I am always quick to reply and I'd love to work with you on finding a perfect package. We can do super high-end packages for those with Big-papa budgets offering some high-end books, video etc.. or we also can offer more modest packages that still get you gorgeous, amazing online galleries and full download and printing rights etc.. If you made it this far, let me know how you guys met, let me know what a perfect photography or videography company would look like to you and I can tell you if we are a good fit or not a good fit. If we are not a good fit, I totally understand, but I just want to serve all couples the best way I know how and be as up front as possible. Have a blessed day!!!

Steve was an absolute dream to work with! Finding a wedding photographer is so stressful and we must of talked to 20 different ones before we found SWJones Photography. Steve was so easy going and was able to wrangle my huge family for photos. ...
Our photos turned out so good and we couldn’t be more happy with our experience with Steve. I would give him 10 stars if I could! Highly recommend!

Thanks so much Stephanie!!
Steven was a fantastic photographer. I can not recommend him enough. He got me and my husband out of our comfort zones and made sure we had a great time taking pictures. The pictures are beautiful and I will cherish them forever.
Any questions?
Steve, Marilyn and their team are very friendly and very accommodating to all our wedding photo needs. We have a rescue dog "Harley" that my bride really wanted included in all the wedding pics. They went out of their way to help us capture a ...
very special day that included Harley as well.
SWJones in amazing! They did our wedding in the St. Louis area! Would recommend them X 1000! Made our day so special!!
We absolutely love the pictures we got from our wedding! Steve helped us both to feel comfortable in front of the camera. He had photographed our venue before so he knew how and where to get the perfect shots.
Highly recommend Steve and Marilyn for your photography needs. Past clients had been friends in college, and put me at ease knowing they came highly recommended, and I was not disappointed. Steve was timely with the contract and communication...
. Marilyn and Steve arrived earlier than scheduled, were ready to start shooting, and captured every aspect of our perfect day. They were knowledgeable about poses and photos, did an amazing job getting family pictures (because honestly getting everyone to stand where they need to be is a huge task), and suggested different ideas I did not think of myself. We decided to to photo and video package, and we absolutely cannot wait to receive and watch the video for years to come. Set up a meeting with Steve and see for yourself why this company would be a good choice. Steve and Marilyn, thank you for being kind, funny, and just enjoyable to be around while capturing our day.
Steve did such an amazing job for our wedding and engagement pictures! He was super quick to respond, always professional and funny! He made us feel comfortable in our shoots and when we got our wedding pictures back all of our expectations wer...

Awesome to work with, very responsive with any questions or concerns, couldn’t recommend them more! Our pictures were beautiful!

My husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera and actually avoid paying for photography to avoid "awkward moments." We're so glad we were talked into booking with SWJones to capture our wedding because we didn't feel awkward at al...
l throughout the entire event. Steve was great at making us feel comfortable all day. We were able to enjoy every minute of our day while Steve directed us based on how we wanted our day to be captured. He is very receptive, flexible to change and travel, positive, and helpful.

ddings (my best friends, my brother in laws, and now mine). Everyone who sees our wedding album comments on how beautiful our photos are. I cannot recommend them enough!

Thanks Savanna! It was a pleasure working with you guys, I wish you all the best!
Steve and his team were FANTASTIC - truly knocked it out of the park! If I could give 10 stars I would because they are so wonderful to work with - from planning to the final photos! We got married at Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs and he ...
captured the venue beautifully! Without a doubt, hiring Steve was money BEST spent for our wedding, he helped with so much more than just photography!! He captured all of the special moments, he captured all the genuine big-cheesy, eye-squinty smiles that perfectly represented the happiness and emotions of the day! We will look back on these photos with smiles, all the years to come! Steve also took video of our wedding and reception and created the most beautiful video memory of our day!

Thank you so much! I enjoyed working with you guys.
I hired Steve for my wedding and he did AMAZING!! There are a lot of great things that I could say about Steve but mostly I am so grateful for all the work that he put into making sure all my photos were perfect! My wedding day was so cold, but...
that did not stop Steve from having such an positive attitude, remaining upbeat and professional to get us plus our family and friends through standing in the cold weather. And, all his hard work paid off because I am in LOVE every single photo!! I HIGHLY recommend Steve to everyone! You will not be disappointed!

Thanks Mariel! You guys had such a fun wedding, I’m so happy for you two!! Thanks for the fabulous review too
SW Jones captured our wedding day so perfectly. Steve is the kindest soul and a darn good photographer. Our package included so much and the price was very fair. When I started planning our wedding I said from the very beginning that the photos...
were the most important part to me. SWJones completely blew my expectations and dreams out of the water. If you are having a wedding near the Branson area you will not be disappointed going with Steve. He made sure my husband and I were comfortable so that our photos turned out natural. He captured all the photos on my list and then came up with such cool shots that I didn't even realize I needed. I cannot give enough praise for my experience with SW Jones.

to get some I hadn't even thought of. Their experience and professionalism shone through during the entire day. My groom and I felt so comfortable with them. Leading up to the wedding, Steve was quick to respond to any of my questions or concerns. He was willing to meet up with us to talk over even the littlest of details. I also felt his prices were very reasonable which was appreciated. I am grateful that I could get everything included in my photography package that I wanted without having to make sacrifices to lessen the price (like I would have had to do with some other photographers). Steve and Marilyn are both so talented and you cannot go wrong with SWJones!!
SWJones photography was very professional but easy to talked to very caring and also did what he could to please my husband and I in every question and suggest. It was wonderful to have someone so easy going and knowledgeable. Highly recommend...

I told my daughter, The Bride, that I felt like she had done a great job of choosing the best photographer for her day. Her Groom chimed in and said, “ I hate taking pictures and somehow she found the one guy who made it ok”.
We had a great experience working with SWJones Photo!! My husband and I had to make many changes due to COVID, and Steve was flexible with us, making the process so much smoother. His wife was wonderful to work with at the wedding and helped th...

m our wedding day. The photos were OUTSTANDING and we received 25 photos the day right after our wedding which was awesome. They have a very calming presence as well. My husband and I are kind of awkward especially being lovey-dovey in front of a camera but they made us feel relaxed and captured us authentically. Highly highly recommend working with these folks!! Thanks again, Steve and Marilyn!
Steve and his team did a fantastic job with our wedding. I spent hours looking for the quality of pictures we wanted for our wedding and from the first time I saw their pictures to when we booked SWJones Photo to going through COVID to the wedd...

My family, my wife’s family, the guests at the wedding all had good things to say about how professional and laid back they were.

I recommend him and his team and I have no doubt you will be as pleased as my wife and I are.

We will definitely be using Steve in the future for other family milestones and recommending him to our friends!
Not only was Steven professional in everything he did but also was someone we were very happy to work with! They did amazing on our photos and for a very great price! He listened to what we wanted and truly has amazing talent! I would recommend...

I cannot say enough good things about Steve and Marilyn. They were exceptional to work with. We went with a package that included engagement and wedding photos. We have received so many compliments and absolutely love them. They made us feel so...

Aww!! We love you guys too! You had a gorgeous wedding day and I loved how much fun you both had at the reception. We hope to stay in touch, thanks for the great review!! It means so much to us :)

When they say they will be there from start to finish on your wedding day they truly mean it! Our wedding pictures are something we will treasure forever and we are beyond blessed that they delivered amazing pictures!

Steven and his wife Marilyn did an amazing job with our wedding photos. I was the groom. They met with us months prior to the wedding date and walked us through everything so there were no surprises or things to stress about the day of our wed...
ding. They were great at making everything go smooth. We even used the schedule they made us for the photography timeline to help us during the wedding planning. They both were very professional and communicated everything very clearly for us. Working as a team they got multiple angles of shots that really put our pictures on another level. They captured the joy and happiness of the day and really did a phenomenal job capturing the emotion on our faces. The pictures should go on the cover of a wedding magazine. My wife and I are very pleased with SW Jones Photography. They exceeded all our expectations! Thank you Steve and Marilyn!

Steve and Marilyn were the most professional photographers we could have ever asked for! We so appreciated how they sent us a detailed questionnaire (which ended up playing a very important role in planning our wedding!) about which poses we w...

Response from the Vendor on 02/28/2019
Hi Kimberly!! Thanks for the wonderful review. You guys were the best on Abby's wedding day and we were so thankful to be there!
We were blessed to meet Steve and Marilyn at a Bridal Expo. We booked our wedding package as well as a photo booth. First: great communication. There’s a pretty detailed questionnaire, Steve and Marilyn do a great job of keeping in touch during...
the whole process. Day of: Steve and Marilyn arrived on time, were patient with us (not a great morning person paired with little sleep). It took no time for them to get all of us feeling like we were just hanging out with two great friends. They kept us on schedule even when we incorporated an unexpected addition. It was super cold and my niece was grumpy, Steve went above and beyond to get her to smile for the pictures. Our priest, friends, and family really loved them and loved how fun and friendly they were. Steve convinced us to brave the cold and wet for some amazing photos — we still can’t believe we got a sneak peak of our photos that same night and can’t wait to see the rest. The photo booth was a big hit and we are both so glad we added that to our package, our guests loved it! The guy who ran it was super cool and awesome (the kids kept him busy). All in all— Steve and Marilyn by far exceeded all expectations. We had a wonderful fun-filled day and Marilyn and Steve contributed to that. — thank you so much guys for capturing our perfect day — Steve we will most definitely be in touch for all our future family photos

Thanks Cozette! Getting to meet you and see Alex was a total joy!! We love Colorado as well and hope to visit the Springs again sometime soon.
Couldn't have asked for anything more!!
Steve and Marilyn went above and beyond to ensure all of our wedding/engagement photography wishes were fulfilled.
Our wedding was far from conventional. The dog was the ring bearer, the bridal party dan...
ced into the ceremony, our flower girl ran down the aisle in a F-150 walker, and SW Jones managed to capture it all.
We had a ton of incredibly specific requests and massive amounts of family photos and groupings that they were willing to work through with us.
The key to all of this was there communication and feedback. They gave us questionnaires to complete and send back to them. They reviewed the questionnaires with us, to ensure we were all on the same page. And they called the week prior to the wedding to go over the schedule and last minute alterations.
Professionals thru and thru , I mean they wear Secret Service style earpieces to communicate during the event! What more could you ask for?
The photos came out beautiful and were sent to us within 3 weeks. Their experience shows through their posing guidance and background selection. Their equipment is top tier, and more importantly they know how to use it. If you're looking for a photographer, you can stop here because you've found them.
Response from the Vendor on 10/15/2018
Thanks so much David! Working with you guys was totally awesome!
The list goes on and on why this photography couple gets a five star! I would give a six if possible.
From the very beginning there is great communication. They listen to everything you want (even if they are goofy and out there) and make sure...
they are equipped to handle the tasks. They beyond are professional and respectful of the significance of your big day.
We wanted to capture the joy and laughter of everyone who attended. They captured all of our decorations, multiple candid photos, our families, and every special moment that happened that day. I didn’t worry once about there being “missed” photos. When we got out photos and in a very timely manner, as I looked through them I felt like I was reliving the day. They captured EVERYTHING! The photos were so beautiful also. I have seen other photographers way over edit photos - making them look edited. But these were just so gorgeous... you felt like you could just right into the photos. I highly recommend this couple as wedding photographers!

Muito Obrigado Irmão!! We appreciate you both so much! Thanks for the wonderful review.
Wow, I am still overwhelmed with what an amazing job Steve and Marilyn did as the photographers of my wedding on Saturday! They spent 15+ hours at our venue on a very hot summer day without one complaint. We had 8 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen th...
at they worked with perfectly and let our crazy, energetic bridal party be themselves while still getting them in place for some gorgeous pictures (Steve and Marilyn also knew all their names!!!). Somehow they also made time to get to know our families and made them feel so comfortable! Part of my family and bridal party is from Sweden and Steve was patient and considerate of the language barrier and even learned a couple Swedish phrases! We were SO blown away and overjoyed that I had an email of several sneak peek pictures before we made it home from the venue!!! A huge thank you, Steve and Marilyn!!!

Owner
My background is in architectural design, but my passion for photography turned into a successful career several years ago. I found Marilyn, my bride, on Kauai, HI who shares my passion for photography; We married in 2010 and moved to Southern Missouri in 2011. We have an awesome little boy named Levi and another little boy on the way. We both love celebrating with couples and work hard to make your day stress-free, beautiful, and fun!! We are easy going and love what we do!! We also have a little cat named Tozer who is an amazing friend, kinda like a dog. I love cross-fit and coffee.
