About this vendor
Combining a fine art approach with a documentary style, I will deliver a photo gallery that will feel authentic but editorial. My approach to weddings is to read the energy of your group, listen to your wants and expectations and to document accordingly. I step in with more hands on direction for the bride and groom portraits, wedding party photos and family photos. I will always provide recommendations for your timeline, ways you can maximize your investment and the locations I believe will be most impactful photographically. I pride myself in being described by clients as extremely organized but laid back, flexible and easy to work with. My favorite part of every wedding is the walk with the bride and groom to get some elevated gorgeous portraits. This is where I like to have a little bit more fun spending those extra moments artfully styling and composing each shot. With a background in retouching and photo editing, you can feel confident in my technical knowledge and professional competence.

Renkse was absolutely fantastic as our wedding photographer. We have zero critiques of her work, both in the professionalism of her and her assistant and in the final product she shared with us. One way you'll know you had a great wedding photographer is that you barely know they were there, yet they send you photos that look like they were standing in the heart of the action the entire time. In an endless sea of wedding photographers that are doing the darker, sepia-tone thing, we chose Renske for the brightness and rich-yet-realistic color of her photographic style that perfectly matched our personalities and the ambiance of the wedding day we put together. You will not regret hiring Renske to document your special moments.
Renske was very professional and helpful when shooting our wedding. She did a fantastic job helping us with poses and feeling comfortable in front of the camera. All our pictures turned out great and she had them edited and back to us quickly.
Booking Renske was easily one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding! We worked with her for both our engagement photos and ceremony/reception. She captured our love beautifully, and the photos that she took remind us exactly how we felt on our special day.
Renske provided us with fantastic resources and guidance during our wedding planning process. She is professional, attentive, and has an eye for capturing people in a way that lets their authentic personalities shine through.
We highly recommend booking Renske!
Renske was delightful to work with! Her attention to detail and punctuality jumped out at us from the start and she was always checking in on us leading up to our wedding! You can tell she loves what she does, and we got so many wonderful photos that we will treasure forever! Can’t say enough good things about our experience with her
Renske is a wonderful photographer! I greatly appreciated her attention to detail and communicative approach. She has a calm, yet playful vibe, which went a long way making us feel more relaxed on wedding day. Not only did she capture the most beautiful moments from our ceremony, but she also took a number of priceless photos of individual families and couples attending the reception. These have already become treasured family photos. Renske also has a sense of reverence for Montana and its landscapes, which was really meaningful to us. She took my anxiety about wildfire smoke and turned it into anticipation about the incredible sunsets it can create.. my worries evaporated. Highly recommend!
Renkse was the best decision we made in our wedding planning adventure. She was very laid back and always made us feel comfortable. She gave us direction when we needed it and let us be ourselves/chaotic when we needed that too. We used her for engagement photos, the wedding and an adventure shoot. Each session was so fun and she truly captured our most authentic selves. I do not have the most confidence in myself, especially when being photographed and was very anxious on the wedding day for being the center of attention, but Renske did such a great job handling me and being flexible when I wanted to change some of our timeline. She truly made the experience wonderful for me. I will cherish these photos for the rest of my life and I am forever thankful for her. Best decision ever!
Renske was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day! Our photos turned out even more incredible than we could have imagined and she has a special way of capturing everyone's unique love. On top of that she is extremely professional and great at communicating throughout the entire planning process. We would highly recommend choosing Renske for your special day!
Ren was amazing to work with. Everything was so seamless. We were working with a tight timeline. We had get ready pictures at the lodge, ceremony pictures in Glacier, more pictures up going to the sun road and then reception pictures in Whitefish. She kept us on schedule, chill and calm throughout the whole day. And the pictures are STUNNING. So glad that we went with Renske for our big day!
Renske was an amazing photographer for our wedding! She took the best photos of me that have ever been taken and I did not feel awkward when the camera was out. Renske and Paige made the whole experience feel fun and easygoing. The photos are STUNNING. I'm so happy we picked her and we would 10/10 recommend and have her take photos for future events!
Renske was amazing on our wedding day! We were VERY pleased with the results of our wedding photos! Renske and Paige made us feel comfortable with every photo and were there for us the whole time (even months before our wedding if we had questions). Final photos were high quality, easy to access, and easy to share with family and friends. Thank you so much! We highly recommend!!!
My husband and I were coming from out of state and had never been to the venue or met any of our vendors. Renske's communication was great, she always responded to my emails and answered all of my questions.
We absolutely loved our wedding photos! We continue to get compliments on them :)
We would recommend you hire Renske for any and all your photography needs.
Our engagement session was magical and Renske was the magician! Started with a beautiful short hike up to a gorgeous overlook. It was a little smoky in the mountains due to wildfires a state over but she turned it into dreamlike photos. I’m very shy around cameras and Renske and her assistant made me feel so confident and beautiful. The photographs turned out perfect.
Renske did an amazing job for our incredibly last minute wedding! She was kind and made us feel comfortable and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. She gave us a sneak peak of the pictures within a few days and had the rest of them back to us shortly. Not only is she an amazing photographer but she is also great with communication and professionalism. I highly recommend booking with her!
Renske Photography did a beautiful job capturing our wedding day!! As someone who prefers being on the other side of a camera, I was a little apprehensive at the thought of posing for pictures, but Renske made it not only a painless but fun process throughout the day. She was so organized, responsive to messages, and delivered the pictures even sooner than I expected! I love the crisp, clear lighting in the photos. The only challenge was picking our favorites from the gorgeous collection of posed and candid pictures we received!
Renske Photography did an amazing job with all the wedding photos. We couldn't be happier. The photos are above our expectations and I highly recommend Renske. She has a gift and is personable, kind, thorough and we had one of the best experiences in her care. You won't be sorry!
I was originally attracted to Renske's photography work because of her bright, clear editing style. I wanted timeless photos for our July wedding and ended up getting so much more! She captured our love story absolutely beautifully and made the actual photo-taking process the most surprisingly fun part of our wedding day! She tailored her process to fit our needs and went above and beyond our expectations. So incredibly grateful!!
Renske was the most amazing photographer we could've hired! She photographed our wedding day in July. Everything was perfect! She was very helpful with any questions I had leading up to the date, easy going but organized. During the wedding day, her and her assistant were on schedule and accommodating to what we wanted. They were helpful and I felt like I could easily trust them to get the photos we wanted, with her ideas and mine. During the ceremony and reception she never got in the way of our guests experience and always managed to get a great photo too! She was fun, professional, and gave good direction.
She gave us sneak peak photos of the wedding day just two days after! Which was above and beyond our expectations. The rest of the photos came at a quick time a few weeks later with so many photos to choose from. Her photography skills and communication on poses really made us look like models naturally. These forever photos are everything we couldve wished for and more. Her wedding package price was very reasonable for what we got. She exceeded our expectations. Such a wonderful day captured but an incredible person! Will definitely be hiring her again in the future for any professional photos. Thank you Renske!!❤️
Renske is not only a talented photographer, but also a gifted people manager. She and her assistant were unobtrusive and discreet as they photographed our wedding, making guests feel very much at ease. Our detail photos were stunning, and she was able to make our venue look very woodsy, when we were actually surrounded by houses. She was upbeat, flexible, and sincere in all of our conversations and I would love to work with her again for another milestone. Don't wait on booking with her, she is awesome.
Renske was so so easy to work with throughout the whole process. She was kind and the biggest hype woman on our wedding day, full of compliments. Our photos ended up beautifully and just how I imagined them.
We chose Renske to photograph our wedding in August 2021. It was at a little endearing historic venue and was very simple. Her photography was amazing. Not only did she make the simple decor and lovely scenery look absolutely stunning, she captured so perfectly the precious moments that we will remember. Her photos are a treasure that I can always look back on and share with my loved ones. She is great to work with and such a wonderful cheery person.
I would definitely recommend her for your wedding photos!
Renske is such an amazing photographer! She makes you feel very comfortable while shooting. Renske did an amazing job capturing the whole venue down to the most wonderful small details and did a wonderful job documenting the emotions and personalities of all our guests through the wedding!
We got married almost 2 years ago and looking back we aren’t in love with our photos. We have just 3 posed photos with both of our faces. The weather was not great - cold and rainy (snowing at some points) and it seems like the photos are somewhat grainy as a result. The mother son dance photos are phenomenal but the first dance photos are much more busy with a lot of people in the background, etc. We really liked Renske and thought she was phenomenal the day of but our photos did not look like the photos we were hoping for. Again, the weather was nasty and we definitely have some great photos that we absolutely love but also bummed by a few things looking back.
Renske is an incredible photographer with an eye for light and genuine moments. She has an unbelievably fantastic style and was willing to hike with us up a huge mountain with a forecast of 100ºF weather to do our engagement photos. Although we are a pretty awkward couple without photoshoot experience, our photos are worthy of being published in Rocky Mountain Bride's blog (which we will be on Sept 18th 2021)! We are amazed at the way our pictures turned out and clicking through the gallery all we could do was say "oh my gosh, is that really us?!" We would recommend Renske 100% with all our hearts.
Renske is absolutely the best photographer to work with! Not only does she have an eye for what looks good, she is also the kindest person to have around on your big day! Renske's photography is hands down 5/5 stars and her demeanor rates the same. I cannot stress enough how important it is to hire someone who makes you feel comfortable and eases any stress that you might have around coordinating your wedding. Renske captured beautiful photos of our wonderful day and it would not have been the same without her! I highly recommend working with Renske!
Picking a photographer for your wedding is stressful, these are the photos you will keep with you forever! We are so happy that we went with Renske! She is professional, timely, flexible and an excellent photographer. Everyone that has seen the photos have been so impressed. She was able to capture all the love and happiness of our special day. The engagement photos she did were phenomenal and we were blown away with our wedding photos. I cannot stop looking at them! I highly recommend Renske!
Renske did an absolutely phenomenal job on our wedding photos! I honestly couldn't have been happier with how they turned out. I knew without a doubt that I wanted natural light and the colors of the landscape around us in our wedding photos. Not only did she achieve this beautifully, but she guided us into different poses and areas with grace and I felt very comfortable in her presence too as she shot us! Sneak peeks and the full album was delivered to us very quickly too I felt! I would highly recommend Renske especially if natural light photography is what you are after!
I can not say enough good things about working with Renske. First and foremost is obviously the photos. She really captured the ambience of our small, rainy wedding and the gorgeous landscape. Day of, she was very easy to work with and great at helping us feel comfortable in front of a camera. She hyped us up and made us feel beautiful. She gives great directions and helped us stay on schedule. She was also a champ when the weather turned and it rained during our outdoor ceremony. She even had enough umbrellas with for our parents to use.
Other things I loved about working with Renske: Very easy and consistent communication. She was great to work with as our plans changed due to covid (her postponement policy was very reasonable and accommodating). She provided a lot of help creating our schedule (such as how much time to save for photos, when everyone needed to be ready for photos, making the most of natural light, etc...).
All in all, working with Renske was rad. I can't imagine having a better experience.
Renske was seriously so amazing! She put so much hard-work and dedication into capturing our big day and it truly shows. All of our photos turned out amazing, and I abosultely love that she captured the emotions of our big day. Everyone cried at some point during the day, even the sky. Even when it rained she assured me that the photos would look amazing with a little bit of cloud coverage and that I had nothing to stress over, and she was totally right. It sprinkled for a few of the photos before the ceremony and then the sun came back. The whole gallery she delivered really tells the story of our big day, and I will always cherish the memories that she helped capture.
Renske was absolutely amazing! We planned our wedding from almost 2k miles away and really didn’t know too much about any of our vendors. We were able to speak with Renske so she could get a feel of our vision. She kept us updated on the procedures as Covid became an issue. Her and her assistant arrived early to scope out our location (we had to change it at the last minute). She listened to what I wanted and captured some amazing moments. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.
THE BEST!! We contacted Renske so last minute looking for a photographer for our wedding and we are so lucky she was available. Our pictures are the most beautiful pictures we have ever seen. She is professional and fun and made us feel so comfortable! We can not recommend her enough. Thank you Renske for capturing our day in the most perfect way and not missing a single moment!!!
Renske was awesome! She was very organized, and worked well with our chaotic and very large families. She was always very polite and professional, very responsive to requests and got lots of photos to ensure there was a best picture of each moment. She brought an assistant with her who was also very nice and had a printed list of our requested shots, making sure Renske covered everything, asking clarifying questions while Renske worked, and making sure everything was efficient and we could get back to the party. We also received several HUNDRED photos more than we had originally agreed upon. We would definitely recommend Renske to anyone needing a photographer for their wedding!!
Ren was the best photographer I could have asked for. Between her and Jane our experiences were always great! We did our engagement photos with her, and hired her for our wedding day. They made things so relaxed and fun and enjoyable - however they did have to deal with some of my and my husband's quirkiness! The photos came out better than I had imagined - I was terrified of looking awkward in my wedding day photos. But Ren and Jane ensured no such thing happened. I would highly recommend Renske Photography. We will definitely be in contact with her for future photos!
Renske was wonderful to work with and captured memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives. She captured the intimacy and simplicity of our city hall ceremony. Could not recommend this photographer more highly!
Renske did a great job with our wedding photography! She directed us with a wedding timeline during the day, which was extremely helpful. I didn't have to worry about anything, she took care of it all. She captured the most beautiful photos directly after our ceremony. We were so happy, and you could see that in every photo. I'll cherish those photos forever. We also did a first look before the ceremony and I don't even remember her being in the room, yet we got to remember those moments by all the photos she took of us. She was able to capture so many moments, without being directly next to us. It was perfect . All in all, reasonably priced, and excellent quality photos. I highly recommend.
Ren is the most amazing photographer! I have no idea how she does it! She caught so many beautiful moments during my wedding. I will forever cherish these photos for the rest of my life. We had Ren do our engagement photos. My husband and I both felt extremely awkward walking in but Ren helped us open up and feel comfortable in our own skin. She allowed our dog to be there to be part of the day. We knew we would be hiring her again for our wedding photos. Ren again was able to make us feel so comfortable during our wedding. She captured every single moment. She had great ideas and worked with our ideas for exactly what we wanted. Her positioning ideas are phenomenal as well as her direction. Her ability to work with light is astounding. On top of all of that, she is an amazing person with a great soul! We cannot thank you enough Ren, we will definitely be working with you in the future!
I cannot stress enough what an amazing job Renske did as our wedding photographer. From our engagement session, to planning all the wedding details, and up until the big day, Renske was extremely thoughtful, professional, and helpful. She was accommodating with the schedule and even willing to travel for us. And let me tell you, she is TALENTED. We were blown away at the gorgeous photos she gave us. Like, better than we could have even imagined. I couldn’t believe it. Plus, many of the photos were not easy to get. We got married in Butte, Montana on New Years Eve. It was very snowy, freezing, and temperatures below zero for a lot of the day. Not only did Renske and Kyle brave the cold for hours to get some of these beautiful shots, they had a great attitude about it. They were kind and fun with everyone, and we just had a really good time working with them. I was also very thankful for Renske’s ability to keep thing on track and moving according to schedule. And when things got pushed back she was willing to stay and make sure we got all of the shots we wanted. I am so glad that Renske made the trip to Butte for us, and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing photos for a special event.
Renske was amazing! She made it really stress free and made me feel absolutely beautiful! Her pictures are wonderful and she is very much go with the flow! Renske is incredibly professional and she captured the day as it went, I really enjoyed having a more lifestyle feel to the pictures. Thank you again! We love them!
Amazing talent! Renske shot our November wedding. She was punctual, professional and kept the flow of the whole day under control. Our pictures were sent much quicker than we had anticipated. They were STUNNING! Better than anything we had hoped for. Renske captured pictures of moments that I wasn’t aware she was even there for! My husband is not a fan of having his photo taken (or photographers in general), but he couldn’t say enough great things about Renske! We couldn’t be happier!
Renske photographed our wedding the weekend before her own--wow! She was a great fit for us because she was easy-going and helped keep us comfortable while orchestrating some great photos. She arrived early and staked out all the best places, took some photos before and after (which allowed us to maximize our time with family and friends), and she stayed to get great candid photos of our reception, too. Some guests even commented how nice and her assistant were and how many photos they took. We loved the digital album with the ability to download all our photos and the rights to the photos.
Ren captured amazing moments from our so small and intimate wedding! We have beauteous everlasting memories that will last forever! She was SUPER!
Ren was fast to respond to our inquiry, answer questions, and offer available options. What a talented photographer; we will call her again for another special day!
Wow! Where to begin!
Renske did our engagement & wedding photos & we'd hire her again in a heart beat!
We loved how personable Renske was. We'd never had professional photos done, so going into the engagement photos we were both a little nervous. Renske made us both feel very comfortable. We told her what kind of photos we wanted & she did just that! She had great ideas for poses when we didn't know what poses to do. She really captures us as a couple.
Renske was the rock keeping the wedding events on track! She was SUPER organized! She made our wedding party & families feel very comfortable throughout the process. We had so much fun getting our pictures taken! Again, she totally captured us as a couple.
Renskes turn over rate has been unbelievable. You can tell she's so passionate about what she does & it really shines through. All of our photos turned out so beautiful & was everything we'd hope for, & more! She is such a stellar photographer & person, so definitely book with Renske! You won't be disappointed!
Ladies.... she's also amazing boudoir photographer ;)
We are SO happy with Ren for our wedding photos! She made our wedding run so smoothly and I'm sure it wouldn't have without her. She worked off a timeline and kept us on track, but without being pushy or demanding. She walked us through the cake cutting and we had no idea what to do. It was cooler outside than we were hoping and she kept the photo sessions short so we could be inside to warm up as much as possible, while still getting plenty of great shots. The photos turned out amazing! Everything from the details to the candid shots to the family and wedding party shots. Plus, we got our photos back in record time! We've heard nothing but good things from our family as well. I highly recommend her!
Renske did both our engagement and wedding photos this year! I cannot say enough positive things about the experience we had with her as our photographer. She was able to work with our budget and tight timeline to make sure we got the pictures we most wanted at our wedding and made sure we stayed on time. She worked closely with our DJ to make sure the night went smoothly and our life so much easier! Renske got our photos back to us so quickly it was amazing and they were all perfect. She captured all the details that most people would forget about a wedding and now we will be able to look back at them forever. I'm sure we will be going back to her for family photos in the years to come!
Hands down the most magical weekend of our life! Ren did an amazing job shooting our big day! She has an eye for the inter beauty that flourishes on special days like ours! She was so comfortable to work with & I had only spoke with her over the phone a few times.
This photo was one my grandmother took, we had just met moments before. We can't thank you enough!!! ♡
Renske was AMAZING. she is so professional and really captured our day perfectly. Not to mention her photos are so beautiful, I am so pleased with how the photography turned out. If you're looking for a photographer that's organized, on the ball, and reasonably priced, Ren is your girl!
Renske did an awesome job, we love our wedding pics! She was very professional with an eye for light and interesting shots. Thank you!
Renske was the photographer for our wedding in July. She has already sent us our photos, and they are gorgeous and fun! I b highly recommend her. Renske was professional and easy to work with. She directed is so well as neither of us are particularly comfortable in the limelight! She listened to all our needs, helped us manage our time, and just helped to make the day so special. Thank you!!
Renske was amazing to work with! She did both our engagement and wedding photos. She was open to our wacky ideas and has an adventurous spirit! She is very professional, organized, and communicative. She is great about making sure you get the shots you want as well as creatively finding other amazing shots you wouldn't think of. On our wedding day she did a great job of helping keep our schedule on track and keeping photos flowing smoothly. We felt very comfortable with her and our wedding guests had great things to say too! She had our wedding photos to us in a week and they are incredible. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, easy to work with photographer.
Renske is simply amazing! She is professional and listened to exactly what I wanted. She is so easy to work with and really cares about her clients. Her photos came out incredible and so so so so so fast!!!!!!
Renske was wonderful! She is professional and extremely creative! We are thrilled with her photos which have that ethereal ability to catch the feeling of the moment in a story-book way. Renske really listened to us about the kind of photos we wanted for our wedding. She provided the support I needed as the bride on my wedding day as she delegated non-essential issues to others and reminded me to focus on the pictures that I wanted. On top of all of that, her photos are BEAUTIFUL! Magazine quality. And she allows you access to all of the pictures she had taken, not charging extra to access them all. She had the downloadable version of the entire wedding to us within days! Easily a couple hundred photos. We also noticed she has a strong work ethic, and focused only on our wedding. You can tell from how hard she works she is a creative spirit who really cares about her work. We would choose Renske over any other photographer we have used or met. 5 stars for Renske! If we were allowed she would be 6 stars because she stands out so far above the rest. Thank you Renske for capturing the beauty of our wedding!
