It's great to meet you!
“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” - Elliott Erwitt
Hello! I'm Renee, a fine-art wedding photographer based in the Midwest. While I call Cleveland my home, I love to travel and photograph new places.
While studying art and design at Kent State University, I stumbled across my love for photography. With a passion for making a meaningful connection and impact on those around me, she quickly found that weddings and portraits were my calling. A true match of sharing my creativity, along with my excitement, warmth, and joy of sharing these meaningful moments with couples. I take pride in creating an organized yet relaxed experience to capture the most exquisite and authentic images to tell your story.
"Renee was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding.
She was incredibly professional, thoughtful, and fast, which is a real asset when you want to get back to the party after the ceremony! Her photos are very high quality with beautiful composition, perfect if you want a more classic, fine art feel to your wedding album. On top of that, she was a lovely person to work with and I would recommend her to anyone. "

"Renee fulfilled all of our wedding day expectations and more.
Picking a photographer is such a big part of the whirlwind experience of a wedding and Renee eased the experience with her professionalism, kindness, expertise and talent. Our photos are beautiful and one of a kind and I would highly recommend her for not just for the photography but for the overall experience of working with her."

"Renee is the most patient, talented, and organized photographer I have ever worked with. Her artistic eye is easy to see in her work. Her photos are dreamy and romantic. I cannot say enough amazing things about Renee. She went and above and beyond for me. She made me feel at ease and relaxed. Do yourself a favor and book her. You will NOT regret it."

I have so many amazing things I want to say about Renee, I don't even know where to begin! She is professional, reliable, creative, and SO much fun! You can really tell how much she loves what she does. She is a true artist and you can tell from her photography at first glance. I never thought I could be so happy with the way my engagement and wedding photos turned out, absolutely STUNNING. I can't wait to look back at my beautiful pictures for years to come and always be reminded in the most perfect way of how special my wedding day truly was.

the process
I specialize in a hybrid mix of film (yes, like the old school kind!) and digital photography for a timeless, classic look. Mixing the two different methods of photography allows me to choose the best medium for the lighting, aesthetic, and artistic quality for each moment. My images have a candid, photojournalistic quality, but I also give plenty of guidance to create natural, candid moments. I believe in having fun and building relationships with my clients, so that they are familiar and relaxed in front of my camera.
I love being part of the wedding process and helping along the way. After shooting hundreds of weddings and engagements, I’ve compiled a wealth of knowledge into my planning guides that each client receives as part of my process. Everything you need to know, from what to wear for your engagement photos, to preparing your details for the wedding day. My goal is to help you get the most from your photography!
