Stop reading this review and hire Robin and Renee right now. They were one of the best decisions we made for our destination wedding in Las Vegas. Their work speaks for itself, and we can confidently say you won’t be disappointed.

We hired Robin and Renee as our first wedding vendors – before the venue, even before our wedding planner. Their availability was a key part in our choice of date – we weren’t getting married without Robin and Renee capturing all of the action.

Robin and Renee were extremely well organized, and made sure they knew us as individuals and as a couple before the big day. They went beyond expectations, even helping us set a schedule for the wedding day. They are friendly, loving, thoughtful people in addition to being expert photographers with a keen sense of aesthetics.

Robin and Renee captured key moments in a modern, photo-journalistic style – no trite poses, per our request. They scouted our venue (the SLS Las Vegas) and found several visually appealing locations hiding in plain sight. This led to absolutely fantastic portraits and candids beyond our wildest expectations. When we go through our photo albums, we both see and feel the emotions of the day.

You should absolutely hire Robin and Renee – they’re simply the best.

Enough cannot be said about the talent, professionalism, quality and work ethic of R2. You cannot find a better photographer for your special occasion so stop searching now, book R2 and with photography completely off your plate of things to worry about or plan, spend your free time on other stuff. Unless of course you are a total stick in the mud. R2 is also a blast!! If you're not about having a good time, keep looking. This team is too cool for you!! But, seriously, I know too many people who walked away from their wedding day with one regret... their choice for photographer. You leave your wedding with only two things, a partner and the photographic memories that will last a lifetime. Don't regret your choice. You know you've already looked at their portfolio and you know you've said to yourself, "Damn, these photos are BAD ASS!!" So do yourself a favor and book them now!

Though this was a bit out of our budget for photography, we decided to take this service out of our budget all together in order to have a lifetime worth of memories in print. We are so happy we made the decision to go with R2 for the AMAZING photos but also for the friendship that grew out of working with them. If you can swing it, get Robin AND Renee...you won't be disappointed!

We were SO incredibly lucky to have The R2 Studio photograph our day! We had a traditional ceremony - but it was a secret elopement so it was absolutely imperative to have the BEST photographs possible since that would be the only way we would have to share our day with our loved ones. We had very high expectations, and not only did Robin meet them - she surpassed them! We were the buzz for a little bit once our pictures went public. She captured everything so perfectly, word on the street was (literally) "Oh my gosh - did you hear about that secret wedding? I saw the pictures & I don't know how they pulled that off!!" We get endless compliments on our photos and how "real" they are. The creativity level is amazing, and we couldn't be happier! If you are looking for the absolute BEST event photographer, look no further! We had so much fun with them, and I am lucky enough to have gained a friend in the process.

I'm going to speak straight from my heart. I ended up spending over $20,000 on my wedding in total it was in Prescott. We only had 100 people. The best part of my wedding was having these photographers there. Not only did they put up with my back-and-forth decisions, but they put up with absolutely everyone of my family members which consist of over 50 people. They took any special requests that we had and made it the best day of my life. The pictures that they captured are one in 1 million. I cannot believe that me and my wife could look that beautiful on the best day of her life. They took sunset pictures the take the breath away from anybody I've ever shown them to. If you can get these photographers it is the best money that you will ever spend. I say that someday they're going to be so famous that they're not going to be able to do smaller weddings. They were not only are photographers but now they are friends. Please don't waste your time looking at other photographers these are the ones you want. And trust me when you get your epic album you'll realize it's priceless .

Photography is one of the most important decisions you will be making for your vendors on the big day it is how your going to look back to remember every little moment. With Robin and Rene you will get everything you could ever imagine and more. Robin is so dang awesome with a camera it is absolutely ridiculous! All our pictures are perfect and worth every single penny! Now I will be able to remember this day the way it is supposed to be remembered PERFECTION! Her work is so modern, vivid, and so well depicted, it is true art! Would not go to anyone else!!! My hubby and I unbelievably happy with R2! As a bonus everyone that we worked with on the big day are friggin awesome as h-e-double-hockey-sticks! you know who you are for those that don't; Robin, Rene, Adam, and Ashley! :)

Where to start?! R2 is, hands-down, THE BEST at what they do. They make the best team who can give you the best of both worlds. On one hand you’ll get your sweet, sentimental moments captured so beautifully that every time you see them you’ll cry, and on the other hand you’ll get the most bad-ass, epic shots that make your friends uber jealous because you’ll want them blown up as prints on your wall. In all seriousness, R2 made us so comfortable in front of the camera and captured amazing memories for us in a beautiful way. They were flexible and accommodating for our wedding and created a package that suited our needs. The albums we got from them after are classic and will definitely stand up through the years. We can’t say enough good things about them, other than you’re crazy to go with anyone else.

What can I say? My husband and I were first introduced to the R2 Studio January 2013 at a bridal show and we knew instantly that we MUST book them for our wedding. We had originally budgeted only a few thousand dollars for pictures but after realizing the investment pictures are, we chose their EPIC package. We ended up spending the same amount on pictures as we did on the rest of the wedding because let me tell you. It's totally worth it. Since that time they have captured photos for me when I graduated from nursing school and then when my husband and I were pregnant with our first baby. As part of their EPIC package we get photos with them for life. WHAAAAAT?! That's right, every year we get AMAZEBALLS photos. We not only signed up for wedding photographers that day, but we also became part of the R2 family. There truly is no other choice. R2 Studio is the best there is! :)

We LOVE working with Robin and Renee!! You can guarantee you are going to have a great time when you're around these two! Robin and Renee are driven to give their clients not only a fantastic product (which they do!) but also a fantastic experience! I can't say I know another photographer (or any wedding vendor) who has the ability to create a whole community around them and truly, R2 has done that. Their past clients are like family and it shows. The second best party you will go to (besides your own wedding!!) is the R2 Prom!!

The ladies with R2 Studio are such a blast to work with. Traditional and classic not your style? Perfect, neither is theirs. Silliness and personality are a must with their clients! Anything that’s funky, unique, and out-of-the-box fit right in with these two. They really capture their clients’ attitudes and let it shine out of their work while making it look truly effortless. Mimicking the feeling of clients’ and their guests, Robin and Renee have a great time while shooting at events which makes the end product that much more genuine. Every time I glance at them when working an event together, they’re focused and soaking up every special moment. Do yourself a favor and contact this talented pair if you’re looking for photographers unlike any other! Just like their motto states, they’re photographers with mad skills.
