I wish I could leave 6 stars! I had an amazing time on my personal branding shoot with Steve Lowrey Photography. He is so personable yet highly professional with a laser focus on getting great results. As a young(ish) female who attended the shoot on my own, I felt 110% safe and respected by Steve. Privacy is considered at all times with a separate dressing and makeup area, and Steve respected my personal boundaries for the shoot making sure I always felt comfortable. Plenty of free parking on site and Steve directed me to the studio with ease. Speaking of the studio - it is huge! There is a wide range of backdrops, environments and props all set up and ready to shoot depending on your desired outcome. Steve is an absolutely great guy who really knows his stuff when it comes to taking a good photo. I really wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone - the results speak for themselves!Posted on Google![]()

Steve recently did the photos for our wedding in Styal, Cheshire. I found him online and after speaking with him felt confident he would capture what we wanted. He did an excellent job and we are really happy with the hundreds of photos he took of our day! There are also some amazing pictures of our dog too which was really important to us. Thank you so much Steve! Highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()
