Renee Lemaire Photography

I had to secure a photographer to capture my daughter's short notice wedding in Spring this year and I thought it would actually be a miracle this late in the game. It was a miracle! We were SO blessed and grateful a pro like Renee happened to be available for two days of my daughter's events! Wow! How did we get so lucky?! Renee couldn't have been more accommodating, helpful with time and her knowledge of the area, kind and professional, and helping me from a distance, to ensure my daughter's wedding day and celebration dinner event were captured with such love, excitement and beauty. Memories to have and hold for ever! Impeccable!

Renee is absolutely incredible! She is so personable, detail oriented and insanely talented. I have nothing but good things to say and have highly recommended her to any engaged couples I know.

Renee was the best photographer I could’ve ever asked for for my wedding. From the initial meeting, to our engagement shots, the communications leading up, and the day of, she made everything a breeze. I could go on and on - there was not a single detail she missed and she was able to capture all the moments big and small that will allow me to remember this day forever

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!

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.

Renee was an absolute dream to work with! Her photography is obviously crafter beautifully, but her outgoing, fun personality fit in with our wedding day/party perfectly! Its was so nice having her energy and expertise day of! She captured the most beautiful photos of my husband and I and our friends and family that we will cherish for years to come! Do not hesitate to book Renee ASAP!!

I’m so glad we hired Renee! She was great with communication the entire time leading up to our wedding. She made sure we got all the photos we wanted and more! Our wedding photos are beautiful, artistic, and timeless! I had complete trust that our photos would be amazing and I’m so glad she was available for our wedding date. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer & second shooter! Thank you Renee!!

Renee & Brent were the best duo we could have asked for on our wedding day. After our initial meeting with her, we knew we were in great hands and could go to her with anything - not just about photos! They both were incredibly kind and helpful. Brent even went out of his way to go home & get a watch kit to resize my husband's new watch!!!! Their eyes for the details and small moments were beautifully captured throughout our day. We cannot recommend Renee enough. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Renee & Brent! We look forward to having you help capture important moments in the future!

I cannot say enough good things about Renee and Brent. I had followed Renee on Instagram before hiring her for my own wedding. While I knew she was a talented photographer with an aesthetic that I liked, I did not know just how amazing of a person she was as well. Renee was always kind and supportive throughout the planning process. She always provided recommendations on scheduling, locations, etc. that were much needed. Beyond that, she was such a calming presence on my wedding day. While there are many talented photographers out there, the beauty of working with Renee is that you receive so much more than just that.

Renee is an incredibly talented photographer. She was easy to work with during the planning process and wedding. She was very personable and professional. I was in awe of our wedding photos. I think her photos were by far the best photos my new husband and I have ever had taken of us! She has a great eye for natural light and her photos tell a story. Would recommend her to any couple. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photographer choice. Renee was also extremely kind and fun to work with! Excellent!!

Renee was a pleasure to work with throughout our wedding! Due to the pandemic, we had to push back our wedding two times (originally were supposed to get married in April 2020), and Renee was flexible and accommodating during that process. Prior to the wedding, she was communicative and responsive, and helped us consider things we hadn't even realized were important! She had a helpful packet and prep materials that helped us outline the photography plan for the day, and was able to meet virtually when my wife was out of town. During the day of the wedding, Renee was on-time, flexible when we realized there were some additional shots we needed, and was able to think on her feet when we needed to adjust the photography schedule when we had some last-minute rain. The photos were fantastic, and Renee's experience and professionalism is clearly apparent in how they all turned out. Our ceremony venue was an older chapel that is not particularly well-lit, but Renee was able to get the photos to look perfect. Our photos outdoors with a mix of lighting (both bright light and more shaded) also looked excellent. When thinking about our wedding, my wife and I wanted to invest in a high-quality photographer for our special day, and Renee exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend her to others!

Renee and her husband were the absolute best photographers you could pick to capture your wedding day. They were extremely professional with a ton of experience, super friendly and helpful, and kept our day running smoothly. I cannot say enough about how great they made our wedding and the sneak peek photos we have received are incredible. Thank you so much ❤️

She's the absolute best, I am so glad that she was able to travel all the way to Miami because I'm so in love with her style and I couldn't find a photographer I liked near me for such an important moment in our lives, and the way she capture of wedding pictures and all the details and us is how I pictured it in my mind, when you look at the photos is like reading a fairytale story. She helped us a lot to plan the timeline of our wedding in advance and everything happened according to plan. She also sent us a sneak peek of our wedding to share with family and friends which is really nice since everyone is so eager to see pictures from the wedding, specially since we had a small ceremony and only a few people were able to attend.

I am SO glad we hired Renee to be our wedding photographer for our October 23 wedding. She turned around a sneak peek for us 48 hours after our big day and was kind enough to advance some family photos to me and my mom for our holiday card. We received our full gallery in a timely manner which is so appreciated because I know the whole wedding industry, especially photographers, are absolutely slammed right now with pandemic reschedules. Renee has such a good eye for composition and was able to direct all of our "people" in a way that I know will look effortless and chic. Renee's communication leading up to the day was also great and I felt really confident that she knew going into the day what shots were important to me and my husband to get. We absolutely love all of our images and will treasure them forever. We can't wait to get them printed into a wedding album!

Renee was the perfect photographer for our wedding day(s). She captured out backyard wedding and anniversary larger celebration beautifully. She was so easy to work with and communicated well. She worked with us to have her capture both days which meant so much. Couldn't be happier to have had her! The photos are stunning!!

Renee was the absolute BEST to work with. She was extremely sweet and responsive throughout the entire process. She helped give great ideas and suggestions for both locations or shots during our engagement and wedding day. Our photos couldn’t have turned out more beautiful! Her husband Brent was a huge help and just as amazing to work with on our wedding day as well.

Absolutely amazing

Renee is kind, efficient and organized. More than that, she has a beautiful, one-of-a-kind photography style that will leave you loving your wedding photos. Thank you so much for everything, Renee. We could not be happier to have your artistic abilities behind our wedding photos.

Renee not only takes beautiful photos but is so kind and professional. I was a covid bride and she has been so patient this whole process. I highly recommend Renee as a wedding photographer, she is amazing!

I have always been a lover of weddings and so even before I got married I followed a few wedding photographers on instagram. What ultimately led me to choose Renee for our wedding, was her artistic and candid approach to photography. I could not be more pleased that we chose her to photograph our special day! From the beginning, Renee was always there to answer questions and provide support during the planning process. She was extremely organized and helped us come up with a wedding day timeline that made sense for us and kept the day moving! In regards to her photography, she is truly the best! She photographs using both digital and film photography, which was something that I was looking for. All of our photos, from our engagement to the wedding, were spectacular! She captured our love, our family and friends, and our day so beautifully! We have received all of our pictures and wish we could print and hang them all! Our family and friends have commented on how beautiful all of the photos are. We are so grateful to Renee for capturing our memories and giving us a keepsake to show our children someday! If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you NEED to hire Renee!

You won’t regret hiring Renee! She is a dream to work with and has an amazing eye for detail with a timeless style. We are so glad we had her as our photographer for the engagement and wedding photos! Every pictures looks like it belongs in a magazine. Planning a wedding during covid had not been the easiest. She would call and reassure me about the decisions we were making. Renee was not just a vendor in the planning process she was also a friend. She helped make our day the best possible wedding we could have had! I can’t wait for more stages in our lives where we need a photographer and we can have Renee capture more memories of our family!

I’ve been lucky enough to work with Renee Lemaire twice, once for my daughters wedding and once for my wedding. Her professionalism was impeccable. Her images we both elegant and timeless . She captured both weddings perfectly enabling us to reflect on our beautiful days with perfect memories. She was so pleasant and made both my daughter and I feel beautiful and special.

Renee was hands down the most accommodating and supportive vendor during our wedding planning amidst the COVID-19 chaos. As soon as we realized our dream wedding would not be able to go according to our original plan, Renee offered to help in any way she could--offering so much flexibility and advice. We ended up tying the knot in a very intimate ceremony and Renee helped document the day so perfectly. So professional, cool, calm and collected. She was so go-with-the-flow, just like our wedding process had been. We cannot wait to have her document our reception in 2021!

Renee was my favorite vendor of our wedding day, and I can truly not say enough great things about her. She is extremely kind, professional, attentive, and talented! I knew our wedding photographs would be amazing, but they turned out more beautiful than I could have even imagined, and they capture our day beautifully. Professional photography is intimidating but she made my husband and I feel relaxed and comfortable while taking photos. Our photography timeline went extremely smooth and she made sure that my husband and I were able to get all of the photos we wished to have. We received so many compliments from family and guests about Renee and her professionalism. I cannot wait to look back at our beautiful photographs for years to come. Thank you Renee!

Renee was by far our favorite vendor to work with. Her experience in film photography caught our attention and we were so excited to have someone who genuinely loves photography. You can tell she puts her heart and soul into her work and it shows in all of her photographs. We never once doubted that we would love our photos. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day which is no easy feat but she successfully captured everything we could have ever hoped for and more. Thank you, Renee!

Renee is amazing! Not only is she extremely talented, but she is just an absolute pleasure to work with. She is professional, efficient and easy to get a hold of. I planned my wedding from out of state, and she made it easy and was always available/ willing to work with my crazy schedule. On my wedding day, she was so helpful and kind. Renee's work is amazing, and I never once worried about how our pictures would turn out... and they are above and beyond what I could have imagined! I would 100% recommend her to any bride, my husband and I completely in love with our pictures from our wedding day.

After looking for a wedding photographer for quite some time, we discovered Renee Lemaire Photography. From the beginning Renee was always so helpful, friendly and answered our questions right away. She checked in about a week or two before our big day and reassured us of all the small details and helped us plan a timeline of the day. The wedding day was absolutely flawless and it was because of Renee’s help. She helped us with the flow of the day and made sure we got all of the pictures we wanted. I had high expectations for how the photos would turn out and they are more than I ever could have imagined. They perfectly portray our favorite day! Do yourself a favor and book Renee for all of your photography needs, 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 was a bit nervous about our engagement photos because I thought they would be "awkward", however Renee made it the exact opposite. The session was so relaxed that even my now husband had a great time! It was such a pleasure working with Renee and I know exactly who I will be contacting if I ever need photography services again. 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. Thank you Renee!

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. Also, you can thank me later. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Thank you Renee, a thousand times! :)

Renee knocked the photography game out of the park. Our wedding pictures turned out absolutely stunning -- and not to mention, she is a pleasure to work with. She has such a great attitude which is needed on your big day. She also thinks outside the box and is willing to walk into 'weird' places to capture beautiful shots. I would highly recommend Renee and her assistant Kristin to anyone! One of the best decisions I made planning.

I am extremely happy with how my wedding photos turned out! Renee was great throughout the whole day and made our whole wedding party feel comfortable, which showed in our pictures. A month after the wedding, I asked if she could send me a few pictures so I could get my thank you notes ordered, and she sent me what she had completed that very next day. I also wanted to turn one of my favorite pictures into a canvas, but was not happy with how the natural lighting made my hair extension piece obvious, so she edited the picture for me that very next day and it looks perfect! Renee was able to beautifully capture all of our wedding memories and I could not be happier! She has now done my sisters wedding and my sister's sister in law, AND my wedding. We LOVE her work!

My Husband and I were married on 6/10/2017 and we couldn't be more thrilled with how well Renee captured our day! She was very well organized and professional and made us feel super comfortable! She made our day run perfectly making sure to get all of our family shots and our bridal party shots done both efficiently and beautifully. I can't tell you how many family members and guests came up to me complimenting on how well she was able to get pictures done in a timely manner and how she was open to making sure we got the pictures we wanted. We would 10/10 recommend Renee she was such a pleasure to work with!

Renee and her assistant were absolutely incredible! I can not express it enough! Renee was so wonderful with making sure all family shots were made and everything was done perfect. She knew how to put up with everyone and was such a pleasure to work with. The fact that she uses both film and digital is incredible! Renee was brilliant with finding poses and scenery for the perfect shot! She put up with me (bridezilla) and a few drunken groomsmen and she got the job done! I highly reccomend!! Renee is the best of the best!! : )

Renee was the perfect person to photographer our engagement photos and wedding. She definitely has a passion for what she does and perfectly captures each client she photographs. She was wonderful to work with and captured everything we wanted and more. Renee and her assistant were professional and yet, easy going enough to handle our somewhat rowdy bridal party :) Our engagement and wedding photos are absolute perfection, and we couldn't be happier. Her photos are true works of art, and she very much goes out of her way to make you feel special throughout the process. I have nothing but praise for Renee's work - it's worth every penny - and would absolutely recommend her to any bride.

I could not have made a better choice than picking Studio Elle Photography. Renee's portfolio is incredible and I love the way that she uses both film and digital cameras in order to produce the best quality images. She is also extremely reliable and makes it very easy to stay in touch with her. All of our family and friends have loved our engagement pictures and I cannot wait to have her around for our wedding this upcoming June! I would recommend her and her company Studio Elle Photography to any bride without hesitation.

Renee did a Fabulous job not only with our engagement session but our wedding day, as well!! The pictures turned out beautiful, everything I could have wanted in wedding photos to capture moments of our day! She had great ideas and was very easy to work with! It was Renee's first time taking photos at our church and reception venue in Shelby, Ohio and you would have never known it because she was so well prepared! I would recommend this photographer to any bride who wants beautiful photos for a reasonable price!

Renee has such a passion and talent with her work. Shooting our engagement photos was a lot of fun and we both felt really comfortable with Renee, even tho my fiancé isn't a big on having his photo taken. I recommend everyone to Renee and I have trust that she will come through with phenomenal work!

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!

Our photos were beautiful, creative and everything I ever dreamed of! Renee was sweet and fun to work with!

Renee and her assistant were so professional during our wedding! My engagement pictures and wedding pictures all turned out amazing! I couldn't have asked for anything more! Renee really got all of the little details that I spent so much time on leading up to my wedding but didn't have time to remember the day of. I am so happy that she captured every little detail. The picture that Renee got of my dad seeing me for the first time was priceless! Seriously amazing! I highly recommend Studio Elle! So easy to work with and you definitely won't be disappointed with the pictures!!

My husband and I got married this past June, and we used Studio Elle Photography for both our engagement and wedding pictures. We LOVED the service we received and the pictures turned out amazing! One of my favorite things about Studio Elle is her time efficiancy and work ethic. Whenever I had a question and emailed Studio Elle, the response was almost immediate. I also used Studio Elle for other questions and she was more than happy to help me out with timing of the day and anything else I needed to know. We are so thankful we used Studio Elle, and other family members of mine are now going to use her for their upcoming wedding. I would recommend her to anyone!

Studio Elle Photography is incredibly and I could not be more pleased with my selection. Renee Cleavenger is as professional, thoughtful, caring and sweet as she could possibly be and she has made every step of the wedding planning process easier and more comfortable. We had a terrific engagement photo shoot with her several months before our wedding and even though the weather was not so good, Renee made the best of it and our photos turned out really well. We were able to use them for our website and for our Save the Date cards! Our wedding is coming up and we could not be more excited to spend another full day with her! She's someone we're looking forward to having at our wedding - we'd want her there as a guest even if she wasn't our photographer! Every interaction we have had with Renee has been positive - she goes above and beyond to provide great customer service. We would recommend her with 100% confidence to any couple looking for a great photography experience before and on your wedding day!

Renee has been such a wonderful and helpful part of our wedding planning process. She has been very easy to get ahold of and amazing to work with. Planning a wedding is very stressful but this has been one detail I've never had to worry about. Our engagement picture session was really laid back and more fun than I even thought it could be. She definitely is very talented at what she does and makes you feel comfortable. Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life and pictures are the one thing you always have to remember it by. I know that the pictures she takes will capture just how special the day really is. I will (and already have!) recommend her to anyone!!

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!

I love the work Renee does. Her photos are perfect when it comes to light. We had an engagement photosession before but it was rainy that day. Pictures turned out so great and cute! The wedding was on friday just because that was one available day this season. We also was late (it was on Put-in-Bay island) and she was fine with it and keep calm me down that its my day and everything will be as I want. We didn't get the pictures yet, but I'm sure they great!
