Perfect wedding

Ren is such an amazing photographer. His ideas helped create the perfect wedding photos, he delivered the best! We can’t help but get emotional every time we see our photos, because it was not only a special day, but Ren captured all the best and perfect moments and we couldn’t be more grateful for that!!

Don't regret getting Ren as our photographer!

Ren was creative and fun when directing everyone for each picture. I loved all the candid pictures that were captured. Ren has an eye for taking pictures, especially because we got married during the Pandemic it was fun taking 6ft apart pictures (by far my favorite picture was of our family and friends 6ft apart). Ren was friendly and made everyone feel comfortable taking pictures. I absolutely loved our wedding pictures! I highly recommend Ren if you want high-quality photos. I would definitely book Ren again in the future!

Personable and professional.

Ren is incredibly pleasant as a photographer, allowing the subject to actually be in the moment. He is also very helpful and patient with posing shots so that they are just right. Throughout the whole experience, Ren is professional and courteous. If you are looking for fine-art style photography, this is a great choice.

The GOAT wedding photographer!

Ren is by far the best wedding photographer I’ve ever seen. No debate. The camera work and edits are top notch, of course, but he makes sure your wedding experience is the best. The customer service is untouchable and his insightfulness really adds to the overall service. I wouldn’t go with anyone else. You won’t find anyone more passionate and locked into your wedding!

Ren Scott Was TOP NOTCH! I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for my bridals and wedding day! He responded very quickly to get back to me with information that Needed. Always assured me that everything was going to be beautiful and to not worry about one thing. I gave him a list of different shots I wanted him to get through out the day. And if there was something I didn't think of he'd come and ask me what I thought about this kind of shot if I wanted it or not. Ren went above and beyond for my wedding being his very first. The value of Ren Scott Photography is BEAUTIFUL! And his flexibility was wonderful! All and all you will be very pleased with Ren's work! He absolutely amazing!!!! Love my Ren

If I could give above 5 stars on every single category I would. Ren is SO incredibly talented, not only for his age, but also just in general! I am a photographer myself, and I saw true potential in him. Some would say I "took a chance on him to photograph my wedding day" (though I never had a doubt in my mind, and he absolutely exceeded my wildest expectations.

Expensive but low quality photos

We paid so much for low quality photos that my mother could have taken with her phone that would have been better. First off a lot of the photos were grainy and blurry. Also in a lot of the photos I was squinting. It's his job to catch that and say "on the count of three open you eyes" some photos look like I'm about to sneeze because he simply could not work the right angles. There's so many photos where I'm squinting, looking akward or blending in with the wall behind me. He charges so much and for mediocre photos and he doesn't even touch or edit them up. There was a couple of photos were there is a strong big visible bruise on my arm. "C'mon NOW!!! Really??? You couldn't touch that up and edit it to remove that and charged us almost 1000 for garbage photos.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
