Hi there, we're Mike and Gina Steelman, a husband and wife wedding and portrait photographer team based in Monterey, California. We photograph weddings and relationships for the most discerning clients in Carmel Valley, along the Big Sur Coast, Pebble Beach, Monterey, and beyond. We've been photographing for over 18 years and have mastered the art of capturing the little details, big moments, all the feels and the “in-betweens”. We create images that you can feel; images that take you back to that moment and move you. No stuffy photographer ego over here - just pure authenticity.
We have an intimate knowledge of California's Central Coast and have wonderful relationships with the local elite venues and vendors, but also travel frequently for our destination wedding, elopement, and corporate clients. California, Idaho and Hawaii are where you'll find us most, but we love to travel and will go anywhere you want to be. Oh, and travel fees are usually included. Yes, you read that right. Spend a few moments here on our sire - we promise you'll find something you like!
Creating art from your beauty...™
Let's be real: all weddings have some similarities. But here's the thing... each wedding is absolutely unique. You don't want your photographer to approach your wedding day as just another paycheck. It's too important of a day and we cherish it just as much as you do. Our dedication to that truth is the same if you're having a wedding celebration with 500 people or it's just the two of you eloping on the coast of Big Sur or Maui. You want the best, and we don't settle for anything less. We invite you to spend a few minutes hanging around our site, get to know us, and feel the images. Then let's connect!

"Mike Steelman is a true professional with a passion for his job. He made me and my fiance feel very comfortable in front of the camera, resulting in natural expressions and amazing images (the colors he brings out are fabulous!). Mike was unobtrusive throughout the day, but was able to capture all of the special moments of our wedding day in a most beautiful way. He is amazing, and as a wedding professional myself, I would definitively recommend him to any and all couples!"

Mike Steelman and his wife are by far the most talented photographers I know. I have worked in the news business for five years and have not encountered a photographer with as much passion, creativity, and professionalism...

The wedding pictures are seriously amazing!!! I love how you caught so much emotion in a picture. Normally pictures are a snap shot, a still. But these are an exception. They have so much life in every one, it is amazing. I don't know how you do it! Those special moments really are priceless and you can't get them back. Thank you again!

He really took the time to get to know us and to share in our excitement about our day. And it shows in the photos, how relaxed we were around him, how much fun we had!
