of the camera the entire day. We loved that they even brought their own confetti to use for the photos - you can really tell they are invested in bringing the best experience to each of their clients. And THE PHOTOS! The photos are truly so beautiful, well done and beautifully edited. Their eye for capturing the best candid moments and our huge smiles throughout the day is incredible. We cannot be more thrilled to have hired them for our wedding and we highly recommend booking them!

The day of they wedding, both Ren and Caleb were an extremely calming presence, and seamlessly guided us through the entire day. And as promised when we first met, no awkward couple poses!:) They truly focus on capturing the natural beautiful moments that occur throughout the day. Along with being incredibly easy to talk to and work with, their photos are stunning. We have only seen the previews for our wedding and cannot wait to see the rest. The locations we went to felt personalized and specific to match our personalities and the theme of the wedding, we even stopped at the brewery where we had our first date (Ren's idea), to take some photos. Cannot recommend them enough, worth every penny!
Any questions?

I think it goes without saying that Studio 29 (Ren and Caleb) are the best photographers you can get. Their work/portfolio absolutely speaks for itself so I'm not going to spend too much time writing about that. Okay, a little bit more, we did ...
our engagement session and wedding with them and seriously everyone I've talked to has said the photos are stunning and/or we picked the best photographer. I totally agree. What they provided beyond photos were some incredible memories. From the first time met them for a cocktail at the Cooperage, to our engagement photos in Shorewood, to the follow up dinner at Palomino to the actual wedding day they felt like family, they were our advocates and they really brought out our love. It's obvious in the pictures. I don't think a lot of people like getting their photograph taken and often times that anxiety shows but you can't sense any of that in our pictures. Ren and Caleb were sweet and sincere and on a day of chaos (wedding day) they never let us get to that freak out point. We will have these pictures for the rest of our lives and I couldn't be happier that we were recommended Studio 29 because they captured a candid and honest picture of our perfect wedding day/love.

I met Ren through a friend who's wedding had been photographed by Studio 29 about a year before I was engaged. She had put us in contact for venue recommendations and I couldn't help but start looking through the Studio 29 portfolio right away....
After looking through Ren's photos nothing else compared. BUT - Ren and Caleb's talent and the quality of the product you get from Studio 29 is only part of the package. Once we MET the two of them, we were so impressed by how authentic and down to earth they are. This is not just a transaction for them; they genuinely love what they do and are interested in getting to know their couples and how to best capture their personalities on their wedding day. During our engagement session (which was the first time either of us had taken professional photos) Ren made us feel super comfortable and relaxed. By the time we got to the wedding day it felt like we were just hanging out with friends. Their relaxed demeanor and fun personalities made the day that much more memorable. Following the work of Studio 29 sets a high bar for expectations when it comes to your wedding day - and they FAR exceeded what we hoped for! The photos are the most incredible representation of one of the most magical days - I couldn't imagine working with anyone else!

Upon meeting Ren at our first meeting, I knew she was right for the job. She really takes the time to get to know the couple, and creates a relationship with them - much more than just being their photographer. She asked all the right questions...
about our style and theme. She has the most creative ideas and is prepared with a backup plan in the event of not-so-perfect weather. We love her style of candid photography and she truly has an eye for a beautiful image. We would highly recommend her for engagement and wedding photos. She made us feel comfortable when we aren't the most comfortable having our photos taken. Caleb is also great. We took large family photos at our wedding and he placed people and organized it quickly and efficiently. They are a great pair, and after working with them we consider them more than our wedding photographers but also our friends.

d. The moment I began planning: CONTACT REN! I was determined to not set a wedding date until I knew if she was available. The first time I met Ren it was over coffee at Colectivo and at that moment I knew I wanted her to be the one to document the most precious day of my life, the conversation with her was so natural and I could see her passion for photography in the way she talked. Booking with Studio 29 Photography with the best decision I made in my wedding planning (Besides of course saying YES to the proposal :)) I booked with them before I even had a venue picked out!! When we had our engagement shoot Ren made my fiance and I so comfortable around the camera, we laughed A LOT! (So did Ren-- even more reason why she's amazing!!). Our engagement pictures turned out so beautiful! I was so impressed by the next day I already had seen a few "sneak peek" photos! I was AMAZED by how beautiful they were, and received so many compliments on them. Throughout the wedding planning process I spoke with Ren often and asked her opinion on many things, she was always so easy to get in contact with. Two weeks before the wedding I had asked Ren to make some calligraphy boards before the wedding and she happily agreed and they were stunning! She is a woman of many talents! The day of the wedding Ren and Caleb arrived on time with smiles on their faces!! Our wedding day photos are stunning already and we haven't even seen all of them (we are so impressed with the amount of photos we have to view already and the wedding was only two weeks ago) They are THE DREAM TEAM! If you are looking for a team that's punctual, energetic, flexible, outgoing, relatable, AND fun to be around you should STOP YOUR SEARCH NOW because they are the DYNAMIC DUO!

After booking Ren I asked for her advice on EVERYTHING. She became my go-to for all things wedding. She suggested a make-up artist, created perfectly designed chalk boards for us, and I even asked her opinion on our first dance song. The day of the wedding we were so at ease with Ren and Caleb. We never felt uncomfortable or unnatural which was super important to us. We could joke around and have fun with them. It felt like they were part of the wedding party. I've never really been a fan of looking at photos of myself but when we got our wedding photos back I cried. They were so beautiful, unique, and intimate. The little moments of the day were so perfectly captured. I cannot thank Ren and Caleb enough. They are so unbelievably talented and so very humble. It was an absolute pleasure working with them and I will definitely be a return costumer in the future.

Around 3 years ago, I was literally invited to 14 wedding in one year. My roommate at the time told me that if any of my friends needed a great photographer, she knew of one named Ren Davis and showed me the Studio 29 website. All my friends ...
ended up already having wedding photographers, but I still following Studio 29 on Facebook as I was so blow away by her photography. Ren and Caleb do not do wedding photographs, they do ART! After I got engaged I knew I wanted to use Studio 29. I called her just in time as she literally had someone else call to request her the next day. We first flew Ren out to NJ (where we live) for our engagement photo session where she took the time to go to multiple locations with us for pictures, hang out and get to know us (she is super sweet and we felt so comfortable with her), and we even went to venue so she could get ideas for our wedding photographs. She even got our kitties involved! Our engagement photos came out amazing! We then flew her and Caleb out for our wedding in NJ this past September. While she was taking photographs many friends and family remarked at how creative she was with her photography. We recently received our wedding photographs and they are more beautiful then we could have imagined! My husband and I are now struggling with which ones we should frame and/or put in an album as there are literally hundreds that we love. I also want to add that we were very grateful of how flexible, easy to contact, supportive and fun to work with Ren and Caleb were throughout the entire process.

She listens to what you are looking for, but stays true to how she photographs and puts her magic touch on everything. Watching her and Caleb work on our wedding was pretty awesome. They know what they're doing, they know how to have fun, and they do it with class.

ked. She captured such special and intimate moments and I knew that was something that I wanted in my wedding photos. As soon I got engaged, she was at the top of contact list. I reached out to her via email and soon after we met up to talk in person. That's when we realized how personable/kind/real she is. I immediately felt as if I had made a new friend. She was so easy to talk with and was really interested in learning our love story--that meant a lot. As the wedding was approaching, we wanted to get together again to talk details. She graciously took time out of her own crazy/hectic/stressful wedding week to meet up with us. I mean, seriously, how sweet is that!? On the wedding day, she arrived early and I could feel that she shared the genuine excitement that I was feeling. :) We had so much fun doing our first look, and walking around town taking photos with her. She had us laughing/smiling/relaxed the whole time. She was also able to handle our giant wedding party (Thanks Ren!). As brides know, the wedding day FLIES by. I felt like the whole thing was a blur. As soon as I got the images in the mail, I was immediately brought back and able to relive and feel the emotions of the day. I had the biggest smile on my face as I obsessively clicked through the photos trying to find a favorite. I quickly realized that I couldn't choose JUST one. They were all so beautiful/fun/us. We got so many compliments for our photos and I just kept telling them all "Yeah, Ren killed it!" THANK YOU SO MUCH REN for capturing our big day. We had so much fun and we love our photos so much. Expect a call/email/text for the next big moments in our lives so you can document those too! We love you! :)

st check them out- CRAZY GOOD! Secondly, her ability to transform her final product to what the customer wants. Through this process, we found ourselves constantly going to her website to see what she was doing next. It seems that every photo session takes on the personality of the client through her eyes. In our photos; engagement and wedding, you can see both our personalities, styles, and most importantly what we explained that we wanted as the end product. Third, we threw a lot of curve balls at Ren and she was able to adapt to our ever changing wedding planning. We knew one thing while planning our wedding....We have the photos in the bag. All in all, Ren Davis was the best thing that came from our wedding planning. We now have an amazing photographer for every stage in our life. One of a kind, brilliant artist!

Ren is everything you could want, need, and wish for in a wedding photographer. I've been following her work for quite some time. It is amazing to have such a talented, nationally acclaimed photographer right here in Milwaukee--but don't worry,...
she's always up for travel too! Artistically, she is top-notch. Technically flawless, her style is reminiscent of film photography in some ways. She doesn't shoot a million pictures and spend a ton of time editing--she knows what she wants the second she looks through the lens and adjusts her settings to capture the subject naturally. What's more, she is just about the easiest person to relate to! My future husband is a little camera-shy (notorious for cheesin' hard at the camera) and she captured him looking like a male model in every frame. She is so friendly.. she gets to know you as a person and a friend to truly capture you as a couple. I cannot wait to have her photograph our wedding. What she captures is so genuine and authentic... it is priceless. I cannot say thank you to her enough or say enough good words about Studio 29.

eccable - we are the only people I know that had wedding photos to view within 72 hours of the wedding. The amazing thing about Ren is that she cares so much about your special day...she listens to what you like and don't like, she gets to know you as a couple. She was able to capture everything we were feeling throughout the day. Our pictures don't just say one thousand words, they captured the words that our hearts were speaking too. She makes sure the pictures you want are the ones she takes, she doesn't have her own agenda in mind, it is all about you. She makes sure that on a day that is so special to the two people getting married, that they have time to steal away for themselves, with no one else around to capture the moments where you take it all in, and it sinks in that this is the start of your life with your best friend - and I was so thankful that it was her behind that camera to capture that feeling and that moment. The best part is that you aren't just getting a photographer, you are getting a friend that will be there to make sure you get the best keepsakes of the best day. Anyone can take a picture...Ren captures the heart and soul and reveals the true beauty in our lives.

Once your wonderful wedding day is said and done, you are going to want to have amazing pictures to look back on that capture all of the special moments of the best day of your life. Ren Davis at Studio 29 does that and much more. We found Re...
n as one of the preferred vendors of our wedding venue. I first looked at her website along with other photographers and set up meetings with a few of them. I did not take the decision of who was going to shoot my wedding lightly. This was one vendor that was extremely important to me. After meeting with all of the photographers I knew instantly that Ren was the one that I wanted to work with. Her work was amazing. Looking at her pictures I felt like I was at the weddings myself. She is so great at capturing the real life moments instead of posed, created ones. And to top it all off, she is the nicest, most sincere person. She has a great laid back personality that immediately puts you at ease. She really listened to what pictures we absolutely wanted and made it a point to get to know us and capture our personalities. Ren is extremely prompt with getting back to any emails or calls. She also was extremely helpful with providing me with other vendor recommendations, as we were planning a wedding out of state. She was so sweet and checked in with me throughout the wedding planning process to see how I was doing. It is a simple extra step but I cannot say how much that meant to me. Also her worksheets that she has you fill out makes it a breeze to insure that you get all of the pictures that you want. She is extremely easy to work with and is very upfront with pricing. She has her packages and then lists for you all of the available extras and their cost. Another aspect that was really nice is that in the packages if you already had your engagement session done (as we had) she deducted that cost from your package. This was a great way for us to save some money since we did not need another engagement session. Not all photographers do this. Ren is also extremely prompt with getting your pictures to you. Within days after our wedding she had the most amazing preview up of our wedding on her blog. She is as excited about your pictures as you are which is really special. Our family member and friends couldn't stop gushing about the preview and how amazing the pictures are. Ren is truly talented! The rest of our pictures were loaded quickly and we received our USB with all 1200 some pictures about a month later. I can look at them all day long. She could not have done a better job capturing our wedding day. She is truly amazing and we will thoroughly enjoy re-living our wedding day. I have decided to have her help us create a wedding album. I could not be more excited to create it but it is going to be nearly impossible to pick the pictures for it. They are all so amazing. I cannot say enough great things about Ren Davis. She is the best at what she does. I am happy to say that not only do I have the most amazing pictures, I have also made a great new friend in the process. I highly recommend her and am looking forward to working with her again in the future.

Ren and Caleb of Studio 29 Photography are wedding photography rock stars. They are professional, creative, and just overall amazing people. I met Ren when she was photographing my best friend's wedding last fall and the minute I got engaged sh...
e was my first vendor call. Ren truly cares about her brides and goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are happy. The signature tag of her emails reads "Delivering Happiness" and that is truly what Studio 29 Photography does. Ren is a Milwaukee based photographer and I hired her to shoot my Chicago wedding because she is so fantastic. Her editing style is very appealing in that her photos look professional but not overproduced. The aesthetic of her work is truly remarkable. Her turnaround time for photo previews is also incredibly fast, which was important to me. If you are looking for a personal experience with high quality photos, Studio 29 is a no brainer. Highly, highly recommend.

She was professional but was also someone that I could see hanging out with. Two years later she was the first vendor that I contacted for our wedding. I wanted to make sure that I had Studio 29 booked because I knew there was no one else out there like her. Of course, she knew exactly who I was when I emailed her, which made me feel pretty special. Considering I had only talked to her a couple of times at my brother-in-laws wedding. When we met with her to discuss our engagement session it was like we were old friends that had picked up where we left off. I knew that we had picked the perfect photographer for our engagement/wedding photos. She had so many great location suggestions and ideas, that it made me excited to begin working with her. My fiancé was so nervous to do the engagement photos but once we started Ren had made him feel so comfortable, that he actually really enjoyed it. It was one of my favorite parts of wedding planning. We felt like models doing a photoshoot and it was just so much fun. The day of our wedding she was absolutely amazing and kept everything running smoothly. She made sure that I had every shot I wanted and asked if there was anything else I needed before she left. When I look at our engagement & wedding photos I know how I felt in those moments. Ren captured the best of my husband & me, she captured the essence of our relationship. I look at those pictures and I can see the love and happiness in our faces. Some of my favorite photos are ones I didn’t know she was taking, capturing moments I would of never thought about. Her photos show you that she takes pride in her work & loves what she does. I feel like I not only found a photographer for life but also a friend. I highly recommend Ren, there is no one like her and you will be happy that you chose her.

She was so easy to get in touch with, responded quickly with detailed answers to my questions, and was so patient and flexible working with me to find time to meet when I arrived back to the US. I was very surprised and relieved by how friendly and down to earth Ren is. For her talent, I expected a more prideful personality. I am so impressed with her friendly demeanor and how much she seems to truly care about her clients. Her approach to her business relationships is similar to how a friend would approach another friend, I think that speaks volumes. Being treated like a friend rather than a client has left a very positive lasting effect. As the wedding came closer, Ren was very accessible via email and responsive with any questions or concerns I had. She fit in very well with my crazy wedding party, and was very professional and courteous to any request by my husband, family, or myself. She carried my photo list with her at all times, and I frequently saw her checking through the list for the night of the wedding, which I really appreciated. While I only got married about two weeks ago and have yet to see all the finalized images, I write this review confident in her ability, and impressed with the sincere customer service I have received thus far. I look forward to her final images, and have no doubt in my mind that I will be reaching out to her in the future with other photographic needs, or even just to say hello.

re-pin it. Once my husband and I had a date on the calendar, I had a contract with Ren. Ren was extremely easy to work with. She was very flexible when scheduling engagement sessions, and quick to answer any questions I had when planning out the wedding. There are times when I can be an over planner, however when it came to wedding pictures I felt extremely laid back. I contribute this 100% to Ren; I knew that with her eye and ability to see every detail around her that not one shot or part of the wedding would be missed. Not to mention she does this in such a way that guests and even myself don't even notice that she is there. This ability to blend in with the church, party, and environment generates the most candid, beautiful shots. Sometimes I think she may have had a magic invisibility cloak. Speaking of magic, as I look back at pictures now 2 months later, I am still seeing details that I missed on the big day. From catching the few minutes of beautiful blue sky we had(wondrously out the same time as group pictures), to capturing reflections in puddles I never even noticed were there. It is almost as if she herself magically placed them there just for the picture. After the wedding her magic showed again.. within two days we had a sneak peak posted to her blog & 150+ photos edited in a preview album. This was amazing because I was able to share these with friends, family, and co-workers that weren't able to come to the wedding while it was still so fresh and new. One co-worker even went out of her way to say "Megan, your wedding photos are some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing, your pictures are just incredible!". Also Before we even hit our one month anniversary Ren had edited all 1300+ of our pictures and we had the cds of all of them in hand. If that's not magic, then she must not sleep and edit through the night! Aside from my choice of husband, Studio 29 & Ren was the best choice I made for my wedding day. I could not be more grateful in having her there so I can have such a beautiful reminder of such a special day. I will forever cherish all the pictures Ren has taken for me. Forever in the future, she will be the only person I will trust in immortalizing all of my special moments and the one person I will recommend to family and friends. If there are any brides out there looking for a photographer I suggest hiring the only one I suspect has magical powers, Ren Davis, Studio 29!

Ren responded with “We can do whatever you want to do. It’s your day. Let do this!” We both appreciated Ren’s sense of humor, spontaneity, and passion for her work. On our wedding day, Ren came with a second shooter, Sara Otto. From the first click of the day, we knew we were going to LOVE the photographs Ren and Sara were taking to capture one of the most important days of our lives. Attention to what was important to us was constantly mentioned throughout the day. Ren had prepared a group of pictures that she knew was important to us to make sure that she was able to take all the most important photos we wanted. Ren and Sara were enthusiastic and snapping pictures continuously throughout the day while ensuring we were enjoying our special day. Ren and Sara joined the fun with the wedding party on the party bus as we went from one photo opportunity to the next. As we stopped at the variety of places for our photo-ops we felt much more comfortable in front of the camera than we thought we initially would. Ren let us be ourselves and made us laugh. It was much appreciated that there was so much of a focus on what we wanted as a couple. When we got the preview of our wedding pictures, every single person who saw just a fraction of the many AMAZING pictures could not stop ranting about the beautiful moments that were captured by Ren of Studio 29 Photography. Many people have asked for contact information to refer their friends and family to Ren. We have no doubt in our minds that they will be blown away with Ren’s sense of creativity, professionalism and dedication to her wonderful talents of being a photographer. Ren is OUTSTANDING, bottom line. We love everything about our wedding photographs and we are so grateful to have found such a genuine, down to earth, amazing photographer who wants nothing but the best for her clients. A + W

t, this moment, the emotion!! I was hooked. When we got engaged, Ren was the first and last photographer we met with. I was already sold from what I had seen. What I did not anticipate is the amazing, professional, funny, creative, and caring little lady bug of a person she turned out to be! Our engagement session with Ren was only the second time we had met, but felt like three old friends hanging out and cracking jokes like we had known each other for years. She caught pictures so poignant, they still make me tear up to this day. When they started showing up on Facebook, I felt like a celebrity. Friends, family, co workers, could not stop talking about our pictures , and how this person had effortlessly caught our personalities and relationship on film. I think that was the best compliment we heard time and time again- "she caught you guys and what your relationship looks like!" What's special about Ren, is she invests in you as a couple, trying to understand who you are. You won't get posed pictures that don't make sense, or ever feel uncomfortable. Her pictures are beautiful, because they're you in your truest form. Fast forward to wedding day. Ren was professional, innovative, and so unbelievably kind. She won't restrict herself to being your photographer that day, or through your planing journey. She was texting me exclamation points with countdowns to the day, and ideas for location shots. She was crying with my bridesmaids, asking if I needed help, or coffee, checking in, and genuinely invested in ensuring I was having the best time possible, while capturing memories for us. Her eye for detail, enthusiasm about the perfect shot, and overall caffeinated happiness is contagious. RENs commitment to get you the photos you seek is unmatchable. Her genuine concern and interest she takes with her clients is what stands her out to other vendors. She's willing to go the extra mile ensure your happiness. Something you might not see from other photographers. Her passion for her art beams off of her You'd be a crazy person to not look at this delightful woman's work, and not see the beauty that shines. She will absolutely far exceed your expectations:) I'm so thankful for the dedication to her work, and for the special friendship I gained meeting her! Lindsay & Jared

On the day of, she came early and took great indoor photos while it poured outside. As soon as the rain stopped, she was happy to walk through wet grass to capture amazing photos. Our wedding day was incredibly hot and humid, and Ren didn't once complain about the heat or running around to get all the photos. She was very easy to work with and kept our wedding party in line. I waited to write a review until she finished all the photos (and I had time to look through 1100 photos!). Ren is incredible and did an amazing job! She captured all of the highlights of the day. As I clicked through the photos, I could relive the conversations that made me throw my head back and laugh and all of the beautiful moments. She captured everything that made our day special for us and for our guests. I cannot recommend her highly enough!! She is worth every penny, and she will give you a lifetime of memories to cherish.

I would like to highlight several important factors that helped us choose her for our special day. She was very experienced. We chose to just have her at the wedding (vs. 2 photographers) and she was able to capture more than enough moments of us throughout the day! We really liked her style and unique perspective on her placement of snapshots. She had such an intuition that I couldn't put a price on! We have received COUNTLESS compiments on both our engagement and wedding pictures! She came more prepared for our unique "UP" themed engagement session that we did! She brough props that she made and even watched the movie to get ideas for poses ! She really listened to exactly what we wanted. She was able to capture my huband and I "in -between" poses. By doing this, she really froze time and caught us in our moments of pure joy:) She is also extremely professional at what she does and responds ever so quickly with any questions or follow up that is requested. I also thought that she was very reasonably priced in comparison to the numerous options available in this business! Knowing her talent, I would have paid her more for the type of quality that we received. We also received our completed, edited pictures within the following week of the wedding! I have personally, never heard of wedding photos coming back that quickly, and with such AMAZING quality! Many of my firends were waiting 6 months to a year even for their images! I could go on and on about how wonderful both Ren and her talent are but in summary, we are RIDICULOUSLY lucky to have found her and we are so happy to spread the love for Studio 29 to others!! We are so thankful to have found the photographer that we want to capture our most valuable moments throughout our lives! Thanks Ren!! You're the best!!

it turns out we got more than an incredible photographer...we got a story-teller. As I look back at my pictures from my wedding,it's like reading a book that she masterfully created to share our love story. I can re-live every smile, every tear, every emotion that I experienced on my most special day. And besides the incredible outcome of the pictures she snapped, I am equally impressed by Ren's ability to blend into the wedding day without even making it seem like we had a camera on us. She was responsive to all questions in the pre-wedding planning, was quick at getting our pictures posted when we anxiously wanted to get our first looks and to top it off she has a warm, happy and positive personality that makes it feel like you're being photographed by a friend. Hiring Studio 29 was the best wedding decision I made...aside from my choice in groom : ) The only problem you'll have if you choose Studio 29 is choosing your favorite pictures from the day!

Ren really takes the time to understand you as a client and what you are looking for in your day. When the wedding day came she surpassed our expectations. She took every picture we had in mind and then came up with plenty of her own ideas as well. Our whole wedding party felt so comfortable with her and she was very efficient at getting the shots we were looking for quickly in order to get us to our reception on time (in fact we were early). She had preview pictures up in less than 48 hours and all of our photos editted within a week.

You will not regret hiring this amazingly talented lady! We loved her and hope to work with her again :)

First and foremost, Ren Davis is an absolute blast to work with. I got engaged this past December and I had been looking for a photographer for some time. One of my bridesmaids mothers told me about Ren, who actually went to HS with my Fiance.....
..small world! So, I took a chance and emailed Ren. We set up a time to meet, of course at Starbucks, the best coffee joint around :) Right away, I felt like I was talking with one of my good girlfriends. She was so nice, outgoing, and easy to talk to...yet so professional. I left and immediately called my fiance and told him she was who were going to have as our photographer for our wedding. She was a perfect fit for our country rustic themed wedding && I loved that I was able to create my own wedding package with her. She has set packages already, but she was so flexible with exactly what we wanted. We set up an engagement photo session right away. She was so flexible on dates/times and was excited, we were emailing ideas back and forth :) The best part about Ren, is that she has such a passion for photography and does such an AMAZING job. She really takes the time to get to know the couple and see what their interests are. We set up our first engagement session and since we are having a country rustic themed wedding, we did a country rustic themed engagement session. She came up with such creative ideas, and my fiance and I were able to come up with ideas along the shoot as well. We did the session at a local abandoned barn and then did a water shoot at the Oconomowoc river. Everything was so creative and artistic. Since we had such a themed first session, she thought we should have a second session! What photographer takes the time to do 2 SESSIONS for you? I was so happy that she wanted to do another session with us! We decided to do a more fun and relaxed shoot with our Bernese Mountain Dog in a local park. She did such an amazing job and I highly recommend her to anyone. I was obviously really anxious to see the photos and she always had a little preview done the NIGHT OF on her website for us to see! Ren really captured the moment of our engagement sessions and showed our fun personalities in the photos. I CANNOT wait until my wedding this next July. She's going to do such an outstanding job and I couldn't be happier that we hired her on for our big day!!! A++++++ all around. xoxo

Katie UPDATE Working with Ren was everything I dreamt of and more! Ren & Becky (second shooter) made my groom and I feel like celebrities for a day. They never missed a beat and would gladly take photos on demand without hesitation. Ren arrived on time that Saturday morning, ready to shoot! She brought with her a printed packet of info that included all the time, place and formal photo details I had sent plus examples of previously discussed poses. She was READY – no questions, no fussing, just ready! Ren & Becky remained calm, cool and collected throughout the day – their energy was contagious. My groom and I found ourselves having the same conversation with numerous guests that went like this…“So how do you guys know Ren?” “She’s our photographer, we hired her…” “Oh, so you didn’t know her before hiring her? You seem like long-time friends!” I think these exchanges really point to how well she meshed into our entire day and how relaxed we were around her. Ren and I were on the same page since day 1. I communicated our style and she took it from there. No need to spend hours researching pose ideas, she had that covered. Not only was Ren a fabulous photographer, but I consulted with her during our planning process to ask her opinion of vendors in other categories – we really valued her feedback. Ren is a super busy woman, but you’d never know it because she was always very quick to reply to any form of communication, email/text/snail mail/etc. Her wedding packages are also a super value for the price – the package we purchased includes a custom designed wedding album, something other photographers charge hundreds more for. She’s also quite skilled in photo editing; picking adjustments that best fit the mood/atmosphere/theme. I’m so thankful that our paths crossed – we will cherish these photos for years to come.

You seriously far and beyond exceeded my expectations for how good we could turn out in pictures and what you captured between us. You rock! I can't wait to see the rest! :) I just wanted to put an update on here since we used Ren for both our engagement and wedding pictures. I cannot even begin to explain how great it feels for people to come up to you the whole day of your wedding and ask you "how do you know your photographer?" or "she's been getting every angle possible, she even stole our chair quick" "she's been catching absolutely every little moment of you two and all of your guests". If you want a person to just take a few quick plain pictures, then Ren isn't your girl. But if you want all the emotion that is packed into this one day in a few thousand pictures by someone who puts their whole body and soul into it, then Ren is worth every single penny. I have never once looked back and thought I could have found better than her, there are so many things you miss or look over that day but Ren was right there to capture it all so you can look at it again and again. There is nothing better than pictures that capture the moments between you and your husband, your family, your friends, because those are what keep our memories alive. I know myself as well as my family pass Ren's name around because we have been so blessed to have gotten to know and work with her the last two years.

The wedding is still a year away, but we just met 2 weeks ago for our engagement photo session and I couldn't be more pleased with how the pictures turned out!! Ren was open to meeting us in Chicago and we had such a fun day. She posted a blog the very next morning with a preview of the pictures, and within 10 days she had all of our photos done and ready for us to view. They turned out absolutely beautiful. We are very happy we made the decision to choose Ren as our photographer, and we are looking forward to the amazing photos to come for our wedding day!

In regards to vendors, my wife and I both decided that a photographer was going to be one of our top priorities. We both love the artistry involved, and believe it to be one of the best ways to capture the memories of your special day for a lif...
etime to come. We met with multiple vendors based on recommendations, research and actual review of their websites and previous work. Ren (Photo 29) immediately stood out, and now looking back, far surpassed any expectations we had. She’s a professional, she’s FUN, she’s crazy creative, she’s passionate, she’s responsive, she’s dedicated, and her work is outstanding. From engagement photos in the beginning (and middle :) ) to wedding photos a year later, she always made us feel like we were a top priority. The kicker is that you can see how much she enjoys doing her job, and the results definitely show. We received several positive comments from friends and family on anything she shot, and I am sure we will hear more of the same once our final wedding photos are released. Ren was a pleasure to work with and a true talent (The same can be said for Janet, who helped shoot our wedding). We absolutely recommend Ren and Studio 29 to anyone looking for a professional photographer, and wish her the best in all future endeavors!

The first thing that I have to say about Ren is that she is a joy to be around. She has a great attitude.... she is relaxed yet is very professional and takes her role in your event seriously. Our wedding was very laid back. It was in o...
ur backyard that is terraced and has a beautiful view and what we really wanted from Ren was for her to capture the spirit of the event. We wanted great candids and we wanted her to paint a picture of the day that we could look back on and remember in the same way that it felt. She did that amazingly!!! She also was great at making people feel comfortable....our teenage kids especially. They were resistant to having their photos taken but by the end we had so many beautiful shots of them and their friends having a great time. She also took great shots of the food, decorations, and the spot(it is so fun to have those photos b/c so much work went into making it fun and pretty). She came back the next day for another shoot when we were having a brunch for out of town guests. She arrived with a beautiful slide show she and her assistant had put together from the wedding and it was such a nice way to spend the brunch, everybody smiling and laughing as they watched. She did a ton of editing and posting of the photos from both events in the following weeks and I was amazed at how fast we were getting to see them. All in all, Ren was fantastic!! I would hire her again in a heartbeat and have passed her info along to many people already!

sband and I cannot say enough great things about Ren -- She is definitely a talent not to be missed! Our engagement photos taken in Milwaukee’s Third Ward are absolutely gorgeous… we are still receiving compliments to our photographer… 8 months later. I have a passion for photos and was ecstatic to see that we had such a vast variety of poses, arrangements and styles to select from. Joe and I were extremely pleased with our engagement photos and knew that we would not be let down on our wedding day. We are so excited to see the final wedding photos (the sneak peak looks great so far)! My husband and I were so lucky to have an opportunity to work with Ren and would easily recommend her work. Ren clearly has a zeal for photography which is shown in her complete dedication to Studio 29 and its progress. We will without a doubt use Ren for any future events (maternity, children, family photos, etc) and wish her all of the best.

My fiancé and I recently did our engagement photos with Ren and I could not be more happy with how the session went! We took our photos in the third ward of Milwaukee, WI. I told Ren what kind of photos we were looking for and she knew exactly ...
what to do and where to go. Her vision as a photographer is amazing and spot on! The session was fun and super relaxed!! It took about 1.5 hours which was perfect since we had our dog Ari in the session. Not to mention she posted some photos that same day!! Ren is very professional and easy to work with. I felt comfortable and never once worried about having enough photos/different poses/etc. I am super excited to have Ren shoot our wedding!!! I recommend studio 29 to any couple looking for an amazingly talented photographer!

ion for me prior to our wedding. We felt like she was part of our family by the time our wedding came around. On the wedding day she seemed to be everywhere at once capturing all of our special moments. She blended in to capture candid moments and took charge when needing to get our somewhat rowdy wedding party together for some formal shots. She seemed to anticipate our needs throughout the day and got all of teh shots we asked for and more. Her turn around is lighting fast and we had a few teasers to look at within 12 hours of her leaving the reception and our entire wedding was complete within a week. The quality of all 500 plus photos was unbelievable. Nearly two years later we still get compliments on our wedding pictures. They will certainly be treasured for a lifetime. After our wedding, Ren shot a Trash the Dress session for me which was one of the most fun experiences ever. She knows of all the great hidden locations throughout Milwaukee and made me feel lik
