Studio 29 - Photography + Design

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.

ked her for a boudoir shoot and trash the dress session already! Highly, highly recommend 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.

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.

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.

e pleasure to work with. Her work is incredible, she truly knows how to capture such precious moments in her photos. She is very friendly, passionate, and dedicated to her work. I have nothing but good things to say about Studio 29 Photography, and would definitely recommend them to everyone.

through the website and Ren responded very quickly. My fiance and I were very nervous to take engagement photos and Ren made it feel so easy and natural. It was like being photographed by a friend of ours after only meeting her one other time! We have only seen a few preview shots from our engagement session but we are blown away!! We are very excited for Studio 29 Photography to photograph our up-coming wedding.

e she is photographing. When I met her at my brother-in-laws wedding, I knew I would have her as photographer at my wedding. 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.

her. Ren's personality is part of what makes the whole experience. Besides being insanely talented, she made me feel at ease through the whole process. Someone that makes you feel relaxed and comfortable on your wedding day is PRICELESS. I never doubted her skill and judgment and gave Ren and Caleb free creative rein to do what they do best the day of our wedding. Our pictures are flawless. We are so sad we can't live this day every day of our lives :) but now we have GORGEOUS photos to keep memories alive. I look at them daily and tell everyone I meet, they are worth every penny. Ren has become a friend and we hope to use her for every event we want to document in our future. But seriously, book Studio 29, or you're crazy :)

fore we got engaged. She had shot the most beautiful wedding photos we had seen of a friend's wedding. After meeting with several other big named photographers we knew we had to go with Ren. Ren is more than your photographer. She finds the goofiest ways to bring up genuine smiles so that it doesn't even seem like you're in front of a camera. From our engagement photos to our wedding photos she caught the most beautiful and special moments, some we couldn't have even imagined. On our wedding day she was able to capture every special moment and more. She was flexible and went above and beyond to get the best photos possible. Once you've worked with Ren it's highly unlikely you'll go to another photographer. Like ever. We know we'll be calling her for all future baby photos and more. We couldn't be happier to call her our photographer and now our friend :)

in love with her old soul and undeniable passion for life and what she does best – photography. It’s that demeanor that makes everyone want to be around her, and it’s that passion that gets her booked time and time again and featured over and over again. I wish I knew more about photography to adequately articulate just how beautiful, vibrant, precise, unique, and diverse Ren’s work is, but if you’ve seen it, you know that sometimes words can’t even describe. “A picture is worth a thousand words,” as they say. Ren’s work is the reason I have both laughed and cried all with one glimpse. Ren is the sole reason why people are standing around my computer screen ooohing and aaahing. I cannot wait to see what this world has to offer Ms. Ren Davis. Most Adoringly, Emily Sexton (Rebek)

or locations, which resulted in the most beautiful pictures. My friends and family were blown away by the photographs. My thought before the wedding was ai hoped i had at least a few pictures I'd be happy enough to order and now I am in the wonderful position of not knowing which ones to not order. Ren is 5 stars and anyone would be lucky to have her as a part of their wedding!!

/email with us to make sure we had thought of everything we would want/need for these photos. She was very professional on both days and also helped to get people in place on the day of the wedding so things would keep moving smoothly. She took amazing pictures, then did some of the best editing I've ever seen to make every picture look even better, she also got our samples back to us by the next day and had all our pictures to us within a few weeks. Honestly, I don't think we could have asked for anything more. We will make sure to use her in the future once we will need baby, then family photos. We will for sure be repeat customers. If you go with Studio 29 you can't go wrong. Book soon because she is in demand and can get booked a year or more in advance!

anning my wedding from out of the country. 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.

er I was doing to admire it. When we met with Ren to talk about our upcoming wedding, her excitement about what we could do together got us even more excited! With every pre-shoot text and email, it really felt like we were more and more connected on what look and feel of the engagement shoot would be. She is exceptionally talented at photography, as shown by her work and the recognition she deservedly gets. Ren also has a knack for understanding what her clients want and bringing that out in pretty and exciting ways, all while making the whole process very comfortable. Our engagement shoot was such an amazing afternoon, and we started getting sneak peeks right away! We couldn't have dreamed of an easier or more fun time, and seriously can not wait for Ren to photograph our wedding next year! --Keri & Brad

she so extremely talented, but she is also such an amazing person at heart. She is a down to earth person. As soon as you meet her you instantly feel like you have been good friends forever! As soon as I got engaged I knew I had one thing I could cross of the list right away and I contacted Ren! We actually re-arranged our wedding date to make sure we could have her as our photographer, and I know that was the best decision!!!! We just recently had our engagement photos taken in mid-October and I cannot believe how amazing they turned out! I was so anxious about the session, but as soon as we met up with Ren my nerves went right away. She makes you feel so comfortable during the session and is so creative. We had a blast taking them! She takes the simplest ideas and turns them into something magical. Everything feels so natural, and as soon as you see the pictures they are so beautiful you will get compliments from everyone at how stunning they are! I love love love all of our photos and I am so happy, every time I look at them I am uncontrollably smiling! She even makes sure to send you a preview as you anxiously await them! You can see how passionate she is about what she does and she is such a joy to work with! I cannot wait to have her shoot my wedding in August 2015!!! She is hands down the best out there! I couldn't be happier we hired her for our big day, I am so thankful to have her!!!! She is an amazing photographer and friend! Love you REN! xoxo Jessica & Conrad

ng up and share with my loved ones. I also wanted to stear clear of the traditional overly posed look. I began my search online and created a list of a few that I liked, and ran them past the fiance. Once he approved I reached out to those I liked and not only was Ren Davis, of Studio 29, the first responder, she was also the most enthusiastic. I automatically felt a connection to her because she seemed so personable. Within minutes of meeting her we were completely sold. Not only does she know what she's doing with a camera, but we felt like we were talking with an old friend, which was super fun! When we scheduled our engagement shoot I was so nervous, but Ren kept reassuring me they'd be awesome. Once we started shooting, my fiance and I were both totally comfortable. She let us goof around and laughed at little things we'd say or do. We had such a blast and once we saw the result we were so overwhelmingly happy with the result. Ren is a true professional and she puts forth the effort of creating a friendship with all of her clients. I can't wait for the wedding day because I know that we'll have the most beautiful photos.

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!

ervisor. I started following Ren's website and was immediately sold by her ability to capture each couples personality and love for each other in the pictures. When I first met Ren at a local coffee shop, she was professional and gave me honest advice about wedding venues and vendors in the Milwaukee area. I appreciated her kind and upbeat personality and petting her sweet puppy during our meeting. Leading up to our wedding date, Ren communicated with me consistently via email/text. The morning of the wedding Ren and her amazing second shooter Caleb were incredibly helpful and organized. They both have an innate ability to control a large group of people while making everyone feel comfortable. Ren and Caleb not only captured every detail of our wedding day, but the genuine moments of happiness that my fiance and I felt for one another. It was so special to see Ren and Caleb's incredible pictures and a meaningful note to us on her blog three days after the wedding. We feel fortunate to have met these hard working and talented photographers and call them our friends. Ren and Caleb from Studio 29 Photography will continue to capture our life's milestones, and we whole-heartedly recommend for them to capture yours. --Megan and David Jacobs

re that dream comes true. She not only makes that dream come true through the lens of her camera, but behind the scenes as well. On our wedding day Ren was running around snapping amazing photographs, but also taking the time to talk to our DJ and caterer. She made sure the day was remaining on schedule and didn’t hesitate to make suggestions. Most importantly, she encouraged us to take a moment and soak the day in. Ren even made sure to steal us away for 20 minutes towards the end of the night to get truly special photographs of just my husband and I that we’ll cherish forever. If you haven’t contacted Ren for your wedding, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! Ren is the total package and I can’t recommend her enough! Mike and I are truly grateful that we were able to share our wedding day with you and that you were there to capture every moment of it. I’m honored to call you a friend and I can’t wait for our next puppy play date! Xoxo – Mike & Amalia

that she loves what she does. Furthermore, she is easy to relate to and open to suggestions, qualities which allow her to capture moments of intimacy which might otherwise be lost to a less personable photographer. We were very pleased with the results of our engagement session, and received many compliments on the photographs from relatives and friends. Despite rain on the wedding day, Ren was still able to capture some beautiful photographs, and completely exceeded our expectations when she offered to meet with us over the weekend to take additional photographs during good weather. We could not be more pleased with our experiences with Ren and Studio 29, and would highly recommend her to anybody who asks. She does fall between the mid-higher price range, but in our opinion, with photography "what you pay for is what you get." Worth every penny!

as creating a relationship with us. Her & I went on multiple Starbucks, lunch & dinner dates. Ren wanted to ensure that on our wedding day, she wasn't just a vendor, but a friend. Ren traveled with us to our college town for our engagement shoot and made sure we felt comfortable every time she had her camera out. It is evident that Ren loves what she does, and her pictures are AMAZING. Our wedding pictures could not have been more perfect, and Ren was the perfect friend to have hanging out on our wedding day taking our pictures. Ren is a fantastic photographer AND friend!

c about some of my requests that I had found on various websites. Especially bringing ideas from Pintrest, which she encourages! She took a rowdy, excited group and was able to get us all under control to take those wonderful pictures during the day. Ren went above and beyond with attention to detail to all of our pictures. She captures moments and memories for us and we would definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone. We LOVE you Ren!!! D + K

and again take pictures at our reception in the states. Ren is so easy going and easy to work with and she captured every single moment! To say we were happy with her and the pictures is an understatement. Ren exceeded all of our expectations. We would recommend her to anyone!!

who does quirky, unique, and overall fantastic work... choose Studio-29! She went above and beyond my expectations, many times over. Our engagement photos were stunning, and so good they were featured several times on various media. We were blown away by all of the photos, both from our engagement session and the wedding day. She captured so many moments, big and small... You can really tell Ren gets to know each and every couple well. For me she became a friend, gave me someone to discuss wedding details with over coffee (added bonus for coffee lovers), and captured a day full of memories that I can keep forever!!

vision and technique set her apart from many local photographers. My husband and I were thrilled with our engagement and wedding photos. She traveled to shoot for us and was always readily available for communication every step of the way. She posted preview photos within 24 hours and was just an all around delight to work with. Our photographer was one of our larger expenses, and she was worth every penny. I highly recommend Studio 29.

at I don't usually like photos of myself, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the photos from our wedding. Ren captured the entire day perfectly. She has a way of getting every shot--even ones that you didn't know you wanted, or didn't even notice she was taking! She put us, our bridal party, and our guests at ease with her calm, modest, confidence. We're soooo glad that we discovered Ren after she photographed a friend of ours wedding. Ren loves what she does, and she's truly gifted at capturing beautiful pictures. And...she loves dogs...that's always a solid trait in a person....so she doesn't mind if you bring your fluffy (or not fluffy I'm sure) dog along for pictures. Ren's work is incredible.

great at providing direction to create amazing photos. In addition to her awesome creative talent, Ren is professional, organized and flexible. We had a large wedding party (20 people total!), and Ren created perfect group photos. She managed to keep everyone engaged, laughing and having a great time. She had our photo preview done within a few days after the wedding (and of course it was incredible). The bottom line: The photos were spectacular, Ren is an all-around fabulous person, and we were so happy that Studio 29 was part of our big day!

she was already worth every penny!! Her attention to detail, her editing styles and her keen sense of style is exactly what brides these days need and want. I never really had to show her too much of what I wanted- she takes the time to get to know you and you can trust she will create incredible photos without a single Pinterest pin! But she's also SO open to getting 400 pins of pictures and she will work each photo in that you want. She's so great, cannot stress it enough. Your photos are the only thing you will have to remember your wedding day and you don't want everything staged and posed...Ren captures it all and even the moments you weren't there for or forgot, she captures it and the second you get your wedding photos back your going "oh my gosh I didn't know we took this picture! This is great!"...Ren will forever be our family photographer now that our wedding is over. We trusted her with the biggest day of our lives and we will continue to trust her with the next major events in our lives! We love you Ren!! -Jeska and Brent Buss

her photos, her photos will take your breath away! I have never looked at a photograph the way I look at the ones she shoots. You feel every single emotions presented by the couple in the photos and you can feel how Ren felt taking the photo. We met with Ren one afternoon for about an hour; when we got in the car to go home my fiancé looked at me and ask “Did we just find our photographer?” I quickly replied “Hell Yes!” and then I believe that there was a celebratory high five shared between the two of us. We were so completely content with our decision that I literally could not stop stalking her Facebook page. I now consider Ren my ‘friendographer’ after countless emails, laughs and even some tears. With that being said if you are looking for someone who is just going to show up and take pictures, I don’t think Ren is the gal for you. But, if you are looking for a photographer who can be a friend, someone who will feel what you are feeling, and just be there with you for every single moment, then I think you have no choice other than to book Ren. And once that contract is signed, sit back, relax, and know that you just made the best decision for your wedding. And know that every photo you get from Ren and Studio 29 will leave you craving more.

fore, during, and after our wedding without hesitation. Our preview went live in only a couple of days so we could relive all of the excitement and joy we felt while it was fresh in our minds. With all of the tough decisions we had to make regarding vendors for our wedding, we can honestly say that we are most proud of selecting Studio 29 and will encourage our soon-to-be married friends to do it as well. Thank you for the beautiful memories Ren!

and pictures and meeting with her I knew her style and personality was what we were looking for. Ren is extremely organized, and was really helpful in planning. She was very responsive to email and happy to meet in person to discuss timing, locations and logistics. It rained on our wedding and Ren had a great recommendation on where to take pictures indoors, which are now some of our favorite pictures. The quality of Ren’s pictures are phenomenal and she was able to capture many great moments, big and small; some of which I had no ideas she was even there for. I highly recommend Ren, and have already been talking about having her photograph future events! R + T

re meeting with Ren before the wedding, Angie was explaining how she is a “picture freak” and had many ideas of what she would like captured on the wedding day. 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

and meeting with us a few weeks later when we were in town. Leading up to the wedding, Ren came to our location to scout photos (which was a 1 hour drive for her) and responded to emails very quickly. 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.

could make it happen. Sure enough, she had us laughing, playing in the wet leaves and smiling ear-to-ear the ENTIRE time! Ren made our day so special, and we were sooooooo happy with the results! We will cherish these photos forever, and remember the crazy afternoon in the snow, sleet, & sun!

s what made Ren so awesome! She was like the ghost paparazzi! She captured moments I didn't even think she was there for. She also made sure she took pictures of all the little details I didn't really get to see being the bride. I believe at one point she was taking pictures of bouquets and a guest said "You are going to have such great pictures, your photographer is upside down, laying on the ground and doing crazy stuff to get angles." I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful person to work with and she did everything I asked for and more. The pictures from my wedding are utterly amazing and she made sure my day was captured with such beauty, I can't wait to work with Ren in the future! :)

ring out gorgeous. I would highly recommend Ren Davis and cannot wait to work with her again in the future!

artistic, quirky, personable, professional and FUN) to be part of our special day.... and I tell ya what, Ren & Studio 29 NAILED IT! It was comforting to know we could relax and and soak up our wedding day with great friends and family – while Ren & her team scooted all around Turner Hall, capturing all the memories in real time. Finding a photographer was more than a business transaction for us. My wife Lisa and I wanted all of our personalities to mesh, and Ren flawlessly fit the mold. Highly recommended, extremely reasonable rates, and very talented! Matt & Lisa 10/20/12

emotions and moments of your day. Looking through the photos we can actually see the emotional journey of our wedding day. We haven't even been married a month and have already received all of our photos from the wedding! The quality is amazing and you can really tell that she absolutely loves her work. A wedding day flies by and Ren and her team flawlessly captures these moments and helps you look back and experience the emotions and incredible memories over and over again. We are already considering doing an after the wedding shoot and looking forward to capturing more great memories. We know we made the right decision trusting Ren to capture our wedding day.

to see all of them. It takes a super talented eye to capture the spirit of a subject or the vibe in a room. Studio 29 does just that. Phenomenal work!!

inutes on her website; (foto-29.com) to realize we were lucky enough to snag a spot with her for our wedding! 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!

ver. I looked through countless profiles and sent out many emails to potential photographers when I stumbled upon Studio 29 and Ren. Her talent was exactly what I was looking for, her photos were unique from all that I had looked at so far. When my fiance and I met her we immediately knew that we wanted to book her to capture our day. She has a wonderful way of connecting with her clients and really views them as her friends. We felt completely at ease with her during our engagement session and received countless compliments on the photos so we knew the wedding pictures were going to be fabulous as well. 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. I cannot say enough about her talent, we are having the hardest time picking pictures for our album because they are all so good and capture us as a couple. You will not regret hiring this amazingly talented lady! We loved her and hope to work with her again :)

st friend. She has great ideas and a distinct ability to think outside the box. My favorite photos were not necessarily the "posed" shots, but the "action" shots. Our wedding took place in January, and the ceremony & reception were all in one place. We had limited access to good "backdrops" but I knew Ren would find a way to "make" it happen. She didnt disappoint. Our wedding was absolutely magical and because of her, all the those moments were captured on film!

f amazing (including grabbing a high school baseball team at the baseball field to jump in for a quick picture with us). She remembers so many details that she learns about you along the way and incorporates them in. Her creativity alone will make you want to choose her. Brides know how much time you spend planning every single little detail for that day and Ren somehow manages to capture them all so that you can remember them forever! She will make you laugh and forget that you are being photographed. As if these weren't already enough reasons to choose Studio 29, we were able to see a wedding preview the day after our wedding and our entire album less than a week after our wedding! The detail and quality of every single picture causes me to spend hours just looking through our album. We have had so many compliments on both our engagement and wedding photos and only have Ren Davis to thank for that. Not only do we have these amazing photos but have met an awesome person and friend and someone to continue to capture big moments in our lives for years to come! We truly feel blessed to have found Studio 29 and anyone else who has the opportunity, should do the same! It will be the easiest decision you ever make during your wedding planning!

e does. It is not just a job for her, but a true passion - and you can really see the difference in the quality of her work and the perfect moments that she captures. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple, and our personalities shined in the final product. Additionally, she is not just good at a certain type of picture - she got great pictures whether we were posed, jumping, sitting, laughing, being dragged around by our dogs, wrestling, being tackled and best of all turned me compelely wiping out and laughing in pain into a beautiful picture. Ren is easy to work with, responsive to all of my emails and messages (worrying about what location I would pick, etc) and timely. She had preview pictures up very quickly and I loved the teaser pictures so much I stalked her facebook page until more appeared. She's helpful, creative and really just a pleasure to be around. I never could have imagined how much fun it could be to take engagement pictures. I am beyond thrilled that Ren will be at our wedding, celebrating with us and snapping awesome pictures. TRUST ME, you want her as your photographer.

elt when I saw Ren’s work on www.foto-29.com. I am a huge believer in everything happens for reason and we were lucky enough to learn about Ren through a family friend. We recently had our engagement photo session and prior to that day I talked to Ren about doing a few of photos, mimicking scenes from the movie “The Notebook”. I was afraid she would think I was crazy but she totally embraced the idea and immediately starting brainstorming ideas and locations to make this happen. We chose to do the shoot at a local state park and before we got started Ren meticulously investigated spots within the park and you could literally see the creative juices flowing. She had us everywhere from laying in the changing leaves to nestled in the tall grass, and up in a tree and then down in the water. We had so much fun and Ren really made us feel comfortable as well as embraced having our dogs in the pictures with us. As if the ease of working with Ren wasn’t impressive enough the final product of the photos are absolutely breath-taking and more than I ever could have ever imagined or hoped for. Her attention to detail, photo effects and editing are subtle but profound and really bring the photos to life! We are thrilled to be working with Ren and looking forward to the magic she will capture on our wedding day!

..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

ait until our engagement session this October. Ren is: Accommodating - she drove to Madison from Milwaukee, no questions asked. Crafty & Innovative - some of our best photos were the ones we didn't even know she was taking. She's not shooting from a stock Pinterest list, but creating scenes based on your personalities. Her Photoshop actions are unique & impressive. Fun - never did we feel uncomfortable in front of her camera. Honest - your happiness with the photos she takes is a top priority. Hip - this is important. She's constantly posting photos/stories to an array of social media sites. Trust me, you want Ren as your photographer... Looking forward to 09/14/13! 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. Madison brides, she fills up fast so book Studio 29 today! Katie

hots without the cheesiness. I love every single one of my wedding pics. She did a fantastic job capturing the entire evening. I can look back at my pics and feel like I was apart of everything that happened. Highly Recommended.

oice if Ren wasn't at the top of your list for a photographer for any of your needs. She has been so easy to get along and work with, I feel like we have already begun a great friendship. I am so excited for her to be a part of our wedding because I have seen the "magic" she has captured between dozens of other couples and families and most of all because she has been able to put on paper what I cannot describe in words about all of the feelings I have for my fiance. She is definitely above a five star review. And Ren: Thank you! I think I may be in love with you ;) But really, you are amazing, I'm sure everyone you work with tells you that. 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.

g I was looking for, and had the processing affects I was looking for as well when it comes to editing. If you're thinking about choosing Studio 29 as your wedding photographer, do it.

ivity that I told Ren someday I want her to photograph my wedding. She captured every moment at the wedding from the smallest of details that I would never think of, to the very intimate moment of the bride and her father, or the two newlyweds together. I can’t put into words how amazing Ren’s work truly is she has an eye for photography that I wish I had. For me there is no other photographer I would ever hire. Friendliness, creativity, and passion are just a few words that come to mind when thinking about Ren. I am overjoyed that I had the chance to meet her so she can be a part of my special day in the future.

te, and has fun - it shows in her work. She made our engagement session fun, and truly captured the location and our excitement. We even received our preview within a day – and have received nothing but compliments on the photographs. We are very excited to work with Ren on our wedding day. We highly recommend her to anyone.

me and explained how phenomenal Ren Davis was. I can tell you after my first meeting with Ren I knew she was the one! Ren is Professional, Fun, Passionate, Dedicated and Responsive and most importantly Creative.  We have received so many compliments on our engagement pictures from friends and family and told how outstanding and beautiful they are.. I am so excited to see how gorgeous our wedding pictures are going to be. Ren loves her job and the results sure show that, she is such a talented photographer and I would recommend her and Studio 29 to anyone in a heartbeat. Thanks Again Ren, you are the BEST!!

n't like the simple pose picture with no editing to it or no effects. I had asked her to take our photos in the fall to use for engagement pictures and for christmas cards. I was so happy with them! she was super easy to talk to, she responded very quickly to me! if we wanted to do something in the photos, she quickly adjusted to it, and also made the idea a lot better! they turned out amazing! there was never a question in my mind about picking the right photographer. she was defiantly the one! for all the fellow brides out there, yes this photographer is worth every penny! if you want to guarantee to preserve your memories i will tell you right now give her a call and set up your appointment! She books quick!

nt photos and especially wedding day photos) are one of our top priorities. When I called her, I immediately knew she was the photographer for us. She was fun, casual and laid back. Other photographers we had spoke with seemed more "traditional" and old-fashion with their photos. Ren, on the other hand, had such creative ideas that we spoke about and we seemed to be on the same page. She took the time to understand my interests and what I expected from her. 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!

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!

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 ar
