Incredible photographer

Renee is an incredibly talented photographer. I was so thrilled when she was available for our wedding. Her work speaks for itself but what I didn’t expect was how helpful she was in navigating the ups and downs of the day. She was a calming presence when the day got hectic and helped provide direction and feedback to help things go smoothly. We received our previews quickly and we can’t wait to see the full portfolio of photos when it’s ready.

There is NO ONE like Renee!

Renee absolutely blew our already high expectations out of the water in her capture of my wedding day. I have known Renee for a few years from previous work and saw how she operated as a photographer - arriving early, sticking to the timeline, and of course, always being professional. I would look in awe at the photos she captured from other peoples big days, already feeling emotional, barely knowing the couple, and knew that I needed Renee to photograph my (at that time) future wedding.
Working with Renee, this time as a client, her professionalism, creativity, flexibility, and attention to detail continued to shine through. She was responsive in the months leading up to the wedding, always answering my “most urgent” questions. On the day of, Renee and her team showed up early, prepared, and ready to take on the day, really setting the energy for the entire bridal party and wedding from the get-go. I so appreciate the fixes of my wardrobe and hair along the way, her being the expert and knowing how those flaws will look on camera. Her flexibility when the timeline changed or when we had to adjust due to weather was always admired - she handled every change with grace and with a smile.
The photos speak for themselves. Every single one I want to frame and hang in my house. She somehow captured BOTH the slow, quiet morning that became a rock and roll concert in the evening, perfectly, to the point as if I am reliving those exact moments. I can’t recommend Renee enough to capture the intimate moments with your loved ones to the dance floor candid's that you will laugh about for years. Thank you for everything, Renee!

Renee is wonderful!

We’ve had the opportunity to use Renee’s services twice in the last 3 years, she photographed our wedding in 2018 as well as our maternity shoot this year 2021. She has been absolutely wonderful every step of the way and is beyond talented at her trade. She has such an artistic eye and the ability to truly capture the most precious moments. She is a great listener, she will make you feel extremely comfortable right off the bat and made our visions for both events even better than we could have imagined! Her creative talent and passion for photography is amazing, she has truly mastered her craft. We had an overcast day with light showers for our maternity shoot but rest assured Renee was able to capture the lighting perfectly, they are stunning pictures. Also, our wedding was full sun in 98 degree weather and she again produced the most incredible photos where everyone looked their best. Everyone at our wedding loved working with Renee as well, not only is she outstanding at her job and very professional but she is an extremely kind and warm person! Renee - Thank you tons for making us all feel our very best on our big day as well as during our maternity shoot, we can’t wait to work with you again!

Renee is an absolute GEM!

Renee is a gem! She is not only an amazing photographer but also a wonderful human. She shot our engagement photos for us and we couldn’t be happier with how the pictures turned out. Renee did an exceptional job capturing all the little details and she has an excellent eye for finding unique areas to shoot in any given location. I was very particular about how I wanted our shoot to be styled. Leading up to the shoot, I would send Renee pictures of several different outfits my fiance and I were planning on wearing. She was so kind to give her opinion and was super helpful in guiding us through what would look good for the location we chose. She was also super fun and very professional to work with and it felt like our close friend was taking our pictures!

The best photographer who we now consider a friend!

I would highly reccomend Renee for any photography services! We hired Renee to do our engagement and wedding day photos. She immediately made us feel comfortable and excited to work with her through our wedding planning process. She had advice on wedding planning overall from planning out our day to specific details that would make our photos look great!

Renee traveled to Minneapolis for our engagement photos which was extremely special. It was one of our last weekends living in Minneapolis and was a great way to capture some of our favorite places in the city. She was extremely patient with us as we had our dog included in our photos, did multiple locations, and had a few outfit changes.

On our wedding day, Renee and her team showed up early making me feel relaxed that everything would go smoothly. Her team joined in the fun that our wedding party was having and captured our day professionally and perfectly!

Renee went above and beyond to make sure our wedding planning and wedding process was amazing, helping us celebrate along the way.

We will definitely be hiring Renee again to capture future big moments in our lives.

Thank you Renee and team!

Delightful person--Amazing Natural Light Photos!

Renee is delightful! She was so much fun to work with and she was up for a unique engagement shoot hiking over some rocks and trails to get the pictures we wanted. And the photos with all the natural light (despite a very overcast and uncooperative sun) were stunning! Renee had never shot at the venue we were using and made sure to visit it ahead of time to get the lay of the land (literally the farm that we got married at) and met us there to talk through the photos we wanted. The day of the wedding her and her team (Nicole and Alexis) put every one at ease, and besides the portraits I didn't even see them but knew they were documenting all the big and little moments of the day. Renee also included a few gifts for us along the way that were a total surprise and added that extra touch to make us feel amazing! As with all wedding days there are some things that might make you a bit nervous or jittery and both Renee and Nicole were pros at making sure we were taken care of!

You would NOT go wrong with booking Renee! I'd re-book Renee in an instant!

Best photographer ever!

We hired Renee and her team for our wedding day in May 2018 and we could not have been more happy! My husband has a photography background and is really picky about wedding photos so we searched far and wide for someone with real talent. Renee is truly a gifted photographer and has a warm presence that was so wonderful on our special day. She also uses real film which is a rare art form these days. When we got out photos back I literally cried they were so beautiful. I will truly cherish these for a lifetime and cannot say thank you enough to Renee! I guarantee hiring her will be the best decision you will make in your wedding planning process.

Renee is incredible!!!

WOW, where do I even begin?! There aren’t possibly enough words to describe how AMAZING Renee and her team are!!! Throughout the entire process, from our engagement pictures to the end of our wedding—and even now—Renee was awesome to work with and made the process so seamless. She really connected with us, communicated well, was super responsive, asked the most thoughtful questions and made sure we were comfortable and happy! And that’s just through emails/messaging. In person, working with Renee is A DREAM! She is so easy to talk to, fun, relatable and super down to earth! Our engagement session was an absolute breeze, and Renee posed us with ease. We were super comfortable and relaxed the entire time! Our wedding was the same – she took so much stress off us and just ran around doing her thing, pulling items for flat lay photos and just going with the flow with how the day shaped up. She just fit seamlessly into the day and all our other vendors/coordinators. And of course – our photos came out GORGEOUS and sooo dreamy, with stunning colors! And surprisingly, for being developed from film, we received them super fast! Much, much faster than expected!! Working with Renee was incredible and I couldn’t recommend her enough!

More than we could have ever hoped for!!!

I was lucky enough to have Renee as my wedding photographer in October. From the minute I spoke with Renee on the phone, I knew she had to be a part of our day. Aside from her unique professionalism, Renee’s warmth and caring personality are truly one of a kind. She is so poised and such a pleasure to be around, and made me and my husband feel so comfortable and calm during both our engagement session and our wedding. Her portfolio speaks for itself; she is beyond talented and every single one of our photos turned out so beautifully. She has an uncanny ability to capture the moment so perfectly in every single photo. Looking through my wedding album, I truly feel like I am reliving the day and emotion in every single photo. Renee and her team made it a point to capture every detail that we wanted and captured moments we didn’t even know we wanted. She goes above and beyond and even continued shooting detail shots at home after my wedding ended (this is unheard of!). Artistically, there is no one better. Her photos are truly a work of art and every single photo is a masterpiece. We are so incredibly grateful and truly honored that she could be a part of our wedding. Renee is the full package and has truly provided us with memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Best decision ever!!

Can't stop looking at our photos

Renee and Nichole were absolutely amazing. They are incredibly talented and captured every moment from our big day. We love our wedding photos so much. Our wedding day flew by, but our photos help us relive and remember the day.
I have had friends tell me that getting photos taken can be awkward, but my husband and I were so comfortable during our wedding shoot and during our engagement shoot. During out engagement shoot, it was freezing cold (even though it was spring) and my husband had a bad cold, but somehow the photos are beautiful.
Renee also puts together a gorgeous wedding album. Picking our favorite photos for the album was so difficult and Renee helped us create something we love.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
