Steve's first paid photography job was shooting Jenny McCarthy in 1989, but it was way before Jenny that his obsession with the camera began. He discovered early on that capturing the moment meant everything. At 14 years old, with a camera permanently around his neck, friends and family were constantly expecting him to get the perfect shot. I rose to the challenge and never missed a moment. From there, Steven Palm Photography was born.
Raised in the small farming town of Creston, Iowa, we never imagined making a living from photographing beautiful people and exciting events. As a young photographer, we explored multiple genres. Steve earned a degree from Drake University in communications and started making professional forays into the fashion and commercial worlds of photography.
Fast forward 20 years and he met his business partner and the love of his life, Alisha, while shooting a charity event in Los Angeles. She is our booking manager, editor, and full time second photographer.
We have been photographing weddings and portraits together in Tucson since the spring of 2010. All of our past clients have taken notice of our chemistry. We complement each other in such a unique way that everyone involved feels comfortable. We photograph over 40 weddings per year.
With Steve's extensive training and background in fashion and commercial photography, it gives him a modern style of portraiture that captures emotions in beautiful and creative ways. Alisha is a contemporary photojournalist who is passionate about people and relationships. She enjoys capturing all of the details and unique moments. Together, we bring a little bit of everything that pleases all of our clients.

We are currently based in Tucson, Arizona, but have traveled worldwide for weddings, celebrity events, & fashion photography. When we are not shooting or editing weddings, we love spending time with our family.
Our children, Louis & Blakely, are full of energy and are interested in the family business. We have two fur sons and mascots for our company. Canon is 15 years old and Copper is just under one year old. We live for our kids as they are the “focal points” of our lives.
