    You cannot ask for a better photographer

    I feel so grateful to have had Renee capture our wedding weekend. She gracefully guided us through the process months before the wedding and was extremely helpful and attentive throughout the whole process. Even for a destination wedding at a location that she had never been to, you would’ve thought she had been there multiple times! We couldn't ask for more beautiful photos. Highly recommend Renee to capture your special day.

    Breathtakingly Beautiful Engagement & Wedding Photos!

    We hired Renee for our engagement and wedding photos, and could not have made a better decision! Her photography is truly breathtaking, and is sure to make you feel like the best ever version of yourself.

    My husband Mike and I first met Renee when we were planning our Cleveland-based wedding from NYC, where we currently live. We were already interested in Renee's portfolio as her light and bright style perfectly matched our aesthetic. Mike and I had been together for 10 years at that point, and most of that time was spent living/working in NYC, so we were hopeful that we could find a photographer to do our engagement session in NYC. Renee flew out to New York in October 2021 and met us for a shoot in Central Park, in the same spot where we got engaged in June 2020. Renee immediately put us at ease in front of the camera, even though we were initially nervous. She gave super clear directions and we didn't feel awkward/uncomfortable for a single second in front of the camera. The result was a spectacular gallery of photos where Mike and I looked comfortable, happy, and totally at ease with one another - exactly what we wanted to achieve! Upon seeing those photos, I was BEYOND excited to have Renee booked for our wedding day as well. Her work is truly aspirational, and my husband and I felt that we had never looked better!

    Renee was easy to reach in the time between the engagement session and our October 2022 wedding, and constantly offered to help with vendor suggestions, answering questions, or any other support we needed. We really appreciated how kind and accessible Renee was throughout the entire process!

    Fast forward to our wedding day in October 2022 at Cleveland Museum of Art. Renee and her second shooter, her husband Brent, met us at our hotel while we were getting ready with our wedding party. From the moment they arrived, I could tell we were going to have a wonderful day together! Renee was so efficient at directing everyone to get the shots she needed, and Brent went above and beyond to be helpful, constantly asking if anyone needed anything, offering to run errands, and just generally bringing a very calming energy into our spaces. We then traveled to the Cleveland Cultural Gardens to take pre-ceremony photos with the wedding party, and that is where Renee and Brent really shone! They expertly directly a loud, rowdy group to achieve some of the most stunning portraits I have ever seen. We then met up with our parents at the museum, where again Renee showed her adeptness with shepherding many confused people to create gorgeous shots. Throughout this whole time, Brent was offering to carry my bouquet, help me walk up and down stairs in my heels, and being an all-around perfect gentleman. During the ceremony and reception, Renee and Brent circulated continuously to capture all the essential moments of our day. Importantly, they always felt present and attentive but NEVER obtrusive or distracting in any way.

    Renee delivered our wedding gallery in December 2022, and honestly, I cried when I saw the photos. I could not believe how gorgeous every single photo was!

    Renee is artistic, kind, so easy to work with, and will undoubtedly give you the best photography experience you could ever ask for during your engagement photos and wedding day. We feel so lucky to have worked with such an amazing talent, and we could not recommend Renee more!

    Booking Studio Elle Photography as our wedding photographer was the best decision regarding the wedding that we made. Renee is incredible. When I found Renee's web site online last February, I knew she was something special and that her success was going to grow exponentially between then and now, and it has! We actually wanted to get married on June 14th of this year, but she already had a wedding that day so that is honestly how we chose our real date - based on Renee's availability. She is a professional. She attends workshops to better her already natural talents and collaborates often with other vendors on photo op projects. Renee is punctual, thorough, thoughtful, creative, an excellent communicator, fun, and understanding. My grandmother suffered a stroke 3 weeks leading up to our wedding day (has made a full recovery, thank goodness) and at the time, I had no idea if my grandma would be able to attend the wedding or if she would be holed up at home or a hospital. Renee was so accommodating with the situation and I know if my grandma was in the hospital the day of the wedding, Renee would've went there with me to take a picture. That is the kind of person she is. Just look at her blog and gallery online, she is clearly an AWESOME photographer. We have good friends getting married in November that just did their engagement shoot with Renee last night. No joke! Book her!

    By far, booking a photographer for your wedding day is one of the biggest decisions you have to make and let me tell you, hiring Renee from Studio Elle Photography was one of the BEST decisions we made! We truly could have not picked a better photographer. She captured all our special moments so perfectly that it is nearly impossible to pick a favorite photograph. Renee was such blessings to work with – professional, timely and talented yet her pictures seem so effortless and natural. From our first meeting with her, we knew that she was everything we were looking for and after the past year, we see her more as a friend than just one of our wedding vendors. We truly cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us. If you’re reading this and contemplating booking Studio Elle Photography for you wedding or special occasion…DO IT. We would recommend her to everyone!

    The photographer was by far my favorite vendor to pick out. We met with Renee and knew instantly to book her. She was great throughout the whole process and helped make it easy, even with last minute changes. Our engagement photos were amazing and I can't wait to see our wedding photos and album. I would recommend her to anyone. I wish she could take photos of me all time. I can't wait to return to her for my future photography needs.

    Renee just sent me all the photos from our wedding. We couldn't be happier with them! She was very professional as well as sweet and very easy to work with. We had a large wedding party, but she had no problem organizing people and getting the best shots. I would recommend her to my family and friends!

    I HIGHLY recommend Renee and Studio Elle Photography to anyone looking for a fantastic photographer for their engagement and wedding needs. Not only were our engagement photos superb, but our wedding photos look as if they should be in a magazine. I knew our wedding photos would turn out perfect, but they turned out to be EVEN more than perfect!!! They are absolutely beautiful. Renee captured every moment and angle of our big day. We will get to cherish these moments forever! Renee has such a great eye and great style!!! She was so fun to work with. We even got a photo with her so that we can remember how awesome she was that day! I cannot wait to use Studio Elle again for our family pictures.

    Renee did an amazing job on both our engagement and wedding photos! She's absolutely wonderful to work with! I can honestly say that choosing Studio Elle Photography was one of the best wedding planning decisions that we made. Her photos make our wedding day day look just as wonderful as I remember it. Once we signed with her, we never had to worry about anything. We were able to trust that she would do a phenomenal job and enjoy our day. She was so on top of things that we actually ran ahead of schedule all day. Renee is creative, professional, and puts you at ease. I'd absolutely recommend Studio Elle Photography.

    Our photographer was Renee from Studio Elle photography. If I had to pick just one vendor to refer a bride-to-be to, it would be Studio Elle. I cannot say enough great things about her work, her professionalism, follow up, and flexibility. We checked out probably 8 or 10 other photographers and she was, by far, the one that impressed us the most. I even cried at some of the work because her photography is so amazing- really knows just how to capture the perfect moments. We were beyond pleased with our pictures and she worked really, really, well with the families and kids taking photos. So many wedding guests commented on her professionalism and efficiency. Many of the pictures she took brought tears to my eyes; there is one she took of my father seeing me for the first time and literally, that was worth the whole cost of our wedding! She is super quick too with her turnaround time. The week after we returned home from our honeymoon, she had all the pictures retouched and available for us to view online. As you can tell, I would highly recommend her :)

    Renee was fantastic. We used her for our engagement pictures and when we saw the quality of those pictures we knew we wanted her for our wedding. She was very professional but easy going and had great ideas for pictures. She did everything we had requested with no problems. She was quick to get our proofs to us also. I would recommend her with no hesitations! Thank you!!

    Renee has an undeniable talent for capturing memories. She has been taking pictures of our daughter, Addison, and we are always impressed when we get to see our photo gallery. Renee brings ideas and props to the sessions and her studio is great. She works with our family and is patient with Addison.

    On all of the categories above, Renee was spot on with my expectations and exceeded many of them. Specifically the value. Compared to several other wedding photographers, Renee was the most cost effective option, yet I don't think that we had to compromise at all of the quality of our photos. They were all expertly staged and looked fabulous!

    Renee was so sweet and kind and was really patient with the ideas we had in mind for our materinty pictures! She listened to what i was wanting and did alot of research before our session to make sure she could help me get what i was dreamijg of!!! My husband and my self were so happy and excited what the pictures we had Renee do our new born pictures of our son, which we were just as happy with!!! She is friendly, patient, kind, and above all professional!!! She had the proofs for us to review up in just a few days, instead of weeks like other photographers we have had in the past!!! She is worth every penny hands down

    I am so pleased and impressed with Studio Elle's work. We've learned a lot about businesses and "professionals" from our wedding experience, and have had our let downs. However, Studio Elle's work and professionalism is amazing!!! We took a chance on just doing photography and not any videography. I was worried the day wouldn't be captured entirely, but Studio Elle made it happen! Looking back at the beautiful photos, I can still feel it all! I would definitely recommend Studio Elle and plan to use this business again in the future.
