Steven Bergman is an award-winning photographer who specializes in wedding photography.

Professional Background

As a professional photographer since 1981, Bergman spent the first seven years of his career as a fashion photographer where his intuitiveness, patience, pre-planning and humor were key ingredients to achieving great results for his clients. It is this same formula he uses with equal success to tell your wedding story.

As a member of Professional Photographers of America and the Professional Photographers of the Monterey Bay, Bergman participates in wedding workshops every year, led by the top teachers in wedding photography, which ensures that his style remains fresh and inspiring. A native of New York, he is a 20-year resident of the Monterey Peninsula.

  
My Philosophy

I love warm-hearted, romantic couples who trust me as their photographer to be a sensitive and creative artist, interpreting and capturing the magical spirit of their day of celebration.

 
My Style

Playing the role of a master storyteller, my style of photography reflects the colorful moments of people, emotions and events from your wedding day, creating a visual narrative that capture the essence of your celebration. Through creative photojournalism, the increasingly popular trend in wedding photography, I combine a more natural approach than the strictly traditional or conventional wedding photography that often appears stiff and over posed. In this way I am able to capture the spontaneous warmth and humor-- the laughter, the tears, the hugs -- of your special day. Additionally, I take all the traditional individual and family portraits you may require that round out your wedding album.

I am relaxed, unobtrusive and have an easy going manner. I create beautiful, heartwarming photographs, while you can enjoy spending this precious time with your family and friends.
