About Steffs Photography - Steff's Photography

Hello, my name is Steff! I’m a 25-year-old photographer based in San Jose and a recent Aerospace Engineering graduate.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me reading, traveling, hiking, or doing something creative!

I’ve been doing photography for over 10 years now, and professionally for the past 5. What keeps me in love with it is the ability to capture real moments, whether they’re loud, quiet, or somewhere in between.

Steff Montelon

Photography became one of my passions in middle school when I started working on the yearbook. I didn’t realize how much it meant to me until I took a break from it and that’s when I knew it was something I couldn’t let go of.

In high school, I began photographing couples and graduations, and that’s when everything clicked. There’s something special about turning a fleeting moment into something tangible, its art that holds a memory you can come back to years later.

I’m a deeply empathetic person, and being trusted with someone’s special day means everything to me. There’s nothing like capturing the love between two people in images they’ll treasure for the rest of their lives. I’ll be honest, I’ve shed a few tears at every wedding and elopement I’ve photographed.

I’m not just there to take pictures. I’m there with you, noticing the quiet glances, the nervous laughter, the tiny in-between moments that matter just as much as the big ones. That’s why finding a photographer you genuinely connect with is so important. I’ll be right there beside you on one of the most meaningful days of your life.
