Top Coeur d’Alene Wedding Photographer

Meet Steve Torres

Wedding Photography Rooted in Guidance, Calm, and Intentional Storytelling

I’m Steve Torres, a wedding photographer based in Coeur d’Alene, serving couples throughout Spokane and destination locations worldwide.

For over 14 years, I’ve photographed weddings with one clear belief:
great wedding photography isn’t reactive, it’s guided.

My role isn’t just to document what happens.
It’s to lead the experience so you feel calm, confident, and fully present on your wedding day.

Most photographers wait for moments to happen.
I design the conditions for them.
From the way your timeline flows, to how you’re positioned in the light, to how a room feels before a moment unfolds. 70% of my work happens before I ever lift the camera.
That preparation removes confusion, awkwardness, and stress, allowing real emotion to surface naturally.
You never have to wonder:
- What do we do next?
- Where should we be?
- How should we stand?
- Are we behind?
I handle the direction so you can stay present.
Brides don’t need more choices.
They need clarity.
On a wedding day, I bring:
- Calm direction when it’s needed
- Space when it’s not
- Confidence in fast moving moments
- Control of light, timing, and pacing
- Clear guidance without ever feeling posed
Family portraits take minutes, not hours.
Portraits feel natural, not stiff.
Moments unfold without chaos.
This is emotional leadership and it’s what allows your day to feel effortless.
I photograph using both film and digital, choosing each intentionally. I started out as a film shooter and understand light completely.
Film slows things down and preserves feeling.
Digital ensures precision and reliability.
Together, they create imagery that feels lived in, refined, and emotionally honest . Without overproduction or forced trends.
The result isn’t just beautiful photographs.
It’s a visual memory of how your wedding felt.
You’ll feel aligned working with me if you:
- Want guidance without being micromanaged
- Value calm over chaos
- Care deeply about how your day feels, not just how it looks
- Want to feel confident in front of the camera
- Appreciate experience, preparation, and quiet leadership
This is wedding photography for couples who want certainty.
With 12+ years as a wedding photographer, I know how to:
- Read a room
- Anticipate moments before they happen
- Adjust quickly without disrupting the day
- Support planners, venues, and families seamlessly
I don’t add noise to your wedding day.
I bring presence.
I’m currently booking select weddings for 2026 and 2027.

KIND WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS

Melissa & Kyle

I cannot say enough good thing about Steve and his team! We were recommended to him through a friend who had a destination in Hawaii. My husband & I got married in Temecula and loved his portfolio and style of pictures. From the very minute they got to our airbnb they knew exactly where to go and start. He had ribbon of our wedding colors with him and took object shots of my rings (not sure if that's what it's called). They were prepared throughout the entire night and took pictures of everything we hoped for! He's a very personable guy. My sister in laws warned me about having a great photographer and how important it is to have a good photographer so I'm very very happy we went with Steve.

When I started planning this wedding you can tell how much thought he puts into his job, he asked questions in advance, we faceTimed and he requested a list of everything we wanted photographed that day. He went above and beyond throughout everything. I am recommending him to everyone getting married!

CZAR & JESS

We loved the photos as much as we loved the experience of working with Steve. He kept the shoot relaxed, yet fun, and made two people who don't spend any time in front of the camera feel beautiful. My fiancé (now wife) and I got to focus on one another while Steve created beautiful images for us.

During the booking process, Steve was quick to respond to emails and phone calls, and did so in a kind and professional manner. Downloading our images was super easy, and Steve went above and beyond by sending us a complimentary set of prints from our engagement session in Thailand. The images are beautiful and the prints are of the highest quality.

Steve Torres is dedicated to his art. It shows through in the way he takes cares of his clients and it's evident in the beautiful images he produces for them. He's genuine. Kind. Fun and easy to work with. Don't hesitate to book him for your engagement session or wedding!

We would love to hear from you and provide you a unique experience to your wedding day. It starts from the very first email and to you reliving your beautiful memories on print.
