Renae Smith Photography - Event Photography Near Me

Renae has been a dream to work with throughout our engagement and wedding. The most important thing for me in planning our wedding was choosing vendors that are easy to work with. Renae has been flexible with our engagement shoot and even moreso for our wedding. She provided a written guide to help us figure out the timing and outfits for our engagement shoot. We had so much fun throughout that day because she had such a great attitude the whole time. The photos were touched up quickly and we absolutely loved them. Due to the COVID-19 situation, we had to make very drastic changes to our wedding and Renae was there for us. She was able to capture our first looks with each of our parents and she took excellent photos throughout the night. I knew that I wanted to book her as our photographer because she uses and has great lighting in her pictures. You have to love working with her because she makes so many positive comments when taking pictures. You seriously feel like a million bucks. Her photos have a good mixture of close-up vs. faraway shots, pictures of key items (i.e. wedding bands with the bouquet, etc.), and fun vs. romantic shots. I highly recommend working with Renae if you want to work with someone with a positive attitude that's flexible and good at what they do. read more

Wow just wow!! I can't say enough good about Renae and her skills. We booked Renae for our wedding because her portfolio is beautiful. I talked with her on the phone and had a great connection from the start. Things didn't go as we had been hoping and planning because of COVID. We had to push back our big wedding celebration. She was very understanding and accommodating to move our date to spring if 2021 when we booked her for September 2020. Just recently did a boudoir shoot with her and wow! The experience was so fun and she made me feel so confident and comfortable. I just got the photos back and they are absolutely perfect! With talent like hers, I don't know how she's not booked for every day of the year. read more

Choosing Renae as our photographer was the easiest decision of our wedding. When we first meet she took the time to get to know us as a couple, and was really interested to know what we wanted for our special day. Our wedding day went perfectly with the help of Renaes pre-wedding questionnaire, she was able to get all the shoots we wanted and so many more. Everyone in the bridal party loved both Renae and her assistant and thought they were amazing. One month after our wedding we had a secondary shoot and Renae was amazing even though we were late and the weather conditions were not perfect. Even though the conditions weren't perfect Renae was able to take so many amazing pictures. She is by far the best person for the job. You can definitely tell she's loves what she does and cares about building a relationship with her clients. My husband and I have seen her several times after the wedding and she always stops to talk to us and ask how we are doing. Moral of the story SHE IS THE MOST AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER AND WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!! read more

Renae Smith Photography - Event Photography Near Me

This review is long overdue. After our first photographer was unable to work with us, we had to act quickly to find a replacement. There is a certain style I look for in photography. I love photographers that love to use natural light and Renae fit that style perfectly. She is very passionate in what she does and you can tell when she was taking our photos. The day was as important to her as it was for us. She made us feel comfortable and at ease. Whatever shots she wanted to try, we were willing to do and they turned out amazing. We couldn't be any happier with how everything turned out. Renae is professional, organized and a pleasure to work with. We made the right choice with going with her and would be happy to use her again in the future. read more

Hiring Renae was not a difficult choice just seeing her previous work on her website was enough to convince me and my husband. Her style of photography was just what I was looking for super light and bright out door photography. I knew I wanted lots of candid shots that were in the moment and that's what her I saw in her portfolio. I wanted was an engagement shoot for our save the date pictures. she had a package that had it all included into one which made everything much easier. The engagement shoot gave us a good chance to meet her before the wedding and get comfortable in front of the camera so that it wasn't awkward on our big day. Renee is the sweetest person,she is very welcoming, makes you feel very comfortable right away. if you're not used to being photographed or not comfortable in front of the camera like my husband she will put you at ease.She will tell you how to pose and find all your good angles. I love this about her she is super detailed in making sure your hair is perfect and that your smile or face isn't awkward in the photos. she will coach you to look your best in the sweetest way and you will thank her for it when you see your pictures. Another good thing about her is she is always an email away. I would shoot her an email in the A.M. and have a response with an hour or two that same day. She would call me to make sure I didn't have any other questions so we were always on the same page. There is a questionnaire you will fill out specifying all the must have shots for the big day so she knows what pictures need to be taken to ensure you get every picture You want. After the wedding I waited about 5 weeks to receive all my pictures and I was just blown away when I received them. the picture quality and images are beyond what I was expecting. There were so many detailed shots that were just stunning. Looking through the images 5-6 weeks later helped me relive the wedding day all over again.I truly love all of my photos from my wedding and could not have picked a better photographer than Renae. read more

Renae shot our wedding photos this August. I had found her on Instagram and loved all of her work. I wanted to book her ASAP, and I am so thankful I did! Girls dream of their wedding day their entire lives. You what everything to be absolutely perfect and run smoothly. The morning of my wedding was the farthest thing from that. Anything that could possibly go wrong did. (Not exaggerating) I HONESTLY feel like I owe a lot of our wedding day transforming into something magical, to Renae. After the nightmare of the morning I had just hours before the wedding we finally made it to our venue and when I thought things couldn't get worse, I tripped and fell as hard as I could right in front of Renae. I laid on my back and started BAWLING. This was not how my day was supposed to go. Renae helped me up and got me where I needed to go. She worked so well under all the pressure and craziness to get everything under control and running smoothly in a limited amount of time. It was the first time we had met in person but something about her made me feel like I had known her forever. She made EVERYONE feel comfortable and gave me a sense of reassurance that everything was going to be okay while never failing to consistently make sure I was doing alright through out the night. When planning a wedding you want to find a photographer that genuinely cares about their clients and their jobs. After working with Renae I don't think she looks at this as her "job". You can tell this is her passion and what she loves to do. This resulted in something amazing that any bride would be lucky to experience. We are so in love with our wedding photos and so grateful to have been able to work with such a talented creative photographer. read more

From start to finish, Renae has been amazing. I found Renae through Facebook and am so glad I did. Her pictures are of course gorgeous, but beyond that she made everything so easy and made me feel like our special day was as important to her as it was to us. She made it personal by meeting us for coffee so we could talk about what was important to us, answered questions we had and then worked on giving us a "day-of" timeline that covered everything we wanted to remember from the day. Weddings are stressful enough as it is so I appreciated how thoughtful and organized Renae was. Not only did she capture everything we expected, but then some. We loved looking at all the candid small moments from our family and friends during the wedding. Renae also gave us some previews with a cute blog post about the wedding. It was so special and a great way to quickly share with friends and family who weren't able to attend. Thank you, Renae!!! read more

Renae was wonderful! I was a simple hands off bride and didn't even get to meet in person. We emailed and I completed a questionnaire. She got all the shots I wanted. The beach setting and sun weren't easy to work with but the pictures came out just beautiful. She was very patient with my somewhat difficult family. And managed to make us all look great. Thankful for finding Renae and Tina from beachside memories. Our wedding was everything we dreamt of. read more

Renae is much more than just a talented and brilliantly skilled photographer. She is generous with her time and has a passion for what she does. She truly captured our special day! Her passion for people and photography truly shows in her work. I am not a huge fan of taking photos of myself, but the results were stunning. She captured the exact essence of what we were looking for; turning us and our wedding into, and making us feel like one of those weddings you see only in catalogs. In the search for the perfect wedding photographer, I stumbled across Renae's page and I absolutely fell in love with her photography style. It is soft, bright & airy, it was exactly what we were looking for. It is perfect, but that's exactly how I would describe Renae, she is an absolute perfection! We only communicated via email, due to my busy schedule, but we felt so confident and trusted her right off the start. She is very responsive and it worked so well with our busy lifestyle! We were so confident in fact, that we actually first met her at our wedding! Sounds crazy, but she made us feel so comfortable and started taking detailed shots the minute she walked into our venue. The results were stunning! Her attention to detail, professionalism, organization and super fun personality eased our nerves and made us feeling confident and comfortable when taking photos. She took every detailed shot you can imagine and worked so well with our other vendors. She took a huge weight off our shoulders. Words can't begin to describe how incredible she is. You can just see it in her work! We can't thank you enough Renae, for not only capturing our special day but being such a huge part of it! Our family won't stop talking about our wedding photos! read more

Finding a wedding photographer was really overwhelming for me so I was really happy to have found Renae. From the first time we chatted on the phone, I felt like I had known her for years, which made it so comfortable to be around her on the day of our wedding. Her photos made me cry when I saw them. She captured everything I wanted and even things I didn't know that I wanted. She captured the emotion in our guests and the energy of the evening. I am so grateful she was able to give me the gift of actually seeing my wedding because it's so hard to take it all in while it's happening. Renae is AMAZING at what she does and you will be forever thankful for her photos! read more

Renae is an absolute pleasure to work with, and the photos are FANTASTIC! We had grandparents, two couples, kids, a baby and a dog for our photo shoot! And it was freezing outside! I genuinely don't know how she did it but she got all the photos we wanted and everyone looks amazing in them. I love her process of letting us pick the ones to edit and her editing was perfect. We feel so lucky to have found a local photographer for our events!! read more

Wow, where do I even begin. Josh and I got married on 10/5/2019 and for some reason we waited until the last minute to hire a photographer. I truly thought that I wasn't going to be able to find a good one that wasn't already booked...As I was browsing through local photographers on wedding wire, I came across Renae and fell in love with her work. I sent her a message and she responded immediately saying she was available so we booked it! We only had a month until the wedding, and she was really helpful during the few weeks prior. On the wedding day she showed up early and was super professional the whole time. She was interactive with everyone and was just the sweetest person ever! We only hired her for 5 hours (because of our budget limit) but she stayed about 45 minutes extra to get in the cake cutting, bouquet/garter toss, and the speeches. She went above & beyond our expectations and I highly highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer! Our sneak peak photos were absolutely stunning and I can't wait to see the rest!! Thank you so much Renae! read more
