About Steve Cowell Photo

Steve Cowell

Owner

I’m a husband to my high school sweetheart, I’m a dad to three gorgeous little girls, and I love my city of Costa Mesa, CA. Me in a nutshell...good coffee, bacon, and whiskey are my jam. A perfect day off consists of a mountain bike ride, some tacos, and swimming in our pool with my wife and daughters. I spent over 8 years in jobs that sucked the life out of me, but now I have one that breathes life back into me. You see, photography is not my identity…but it's definitely an extension of how I was created to see life. And I got into capturing meaningful moments because I am all about the life behind the moment, not just the event.

As a huge of fan of marriage and not just the wedding day, I love to come alongside my couples and support and encourage them as they approach this new adventure. With over 10 years of experience in shooting weddings, I love to serve you not only with my editorial approach to photography, but also with my extensive knowledge of what goes into a wedding day in general.

    We met with a handful of photographers before we settled on Steve. Beyond his ability to capture candid moments of joy, laughter, and celebration, Steve's honesty and transparency made us feel at home with our decision to move forward with his services. He incorporated an engagement shoot into our photography package, and spending that additional time with him prior to our big day helped us feel so much more comfortable with the entire process. After our engagement shoot, Steve was kind enough to grab lunch (dim sum) with us in LA's Chinatown, going above and beyond to make us feel comfortable in his presence. Steve is the most laid-back, amicable photographer you could ask for, and it was a privilege to have him capture our wedding. He is a kind soul and fits in splendidly with any crowd. We look forward to using his services for many more milestones in the future.

Throughout the planning process, he takes pride in getting to know his clients, so he can capture the couples' personalities. Fast forward to the wedding day, and Steve is wonderful to work with. He is a team planner, which helps the day run smoothly. Finally, Steve's final product is absolutely stunning.
