Studio 29

I first saw Ren’s (Studio 29) work after she did my brother-in-laws engagement photos. From there I started following everything she did and became hooked. I love her style of work, the way she captures the moment & the personality of the people 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.

[redacted] photography is brilliant. She captures not only the moment, but the feeling behind the moment. She has an amazing eye for finding perfect shots amidst unexpected, unrehearsed and completely spontaneous moments. At the same time, she is great at providing direction to create amazing photos. In addition to her awesome creative talent, [redacted] is professional, organized and flexible. We had a large wedding party (20 people total!), and [redacted] 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, [redacted] is an all-around fabulous person, and we were so happy that Studio 29 was part of our big day!

We used Studio 29 for my daughter's Senior portraits. We were very pleased with the experience as well as the pictures. We ended up with so many beautiful shots. Because we were provided with a disc of our 30 favorite pictures and a release, we saved money by printing our own wallets and 5" X 7". We come from a big family, and were able to oder 5" X 7" prints for all our daughter's grandparents, aunts, and uncles for very little cost. We also printed 150 wallets for all her cousins, classmates, and friends. It was nice to be able to print off a variety of shots, and let people choose their favorites. It seemed that everyone had a diferent favorite! I would definitely recommend Studio 29 to anyone looking for a photographer,

My wife and I used Studio 29 Photography for our engagement session and our wedding this year. We had a few ideas for both our wedding and engagement photos which [redacted] made sure to make look amazing. On top of that she took the time to meet/talk/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!

We were so lucky to have Studio 29 Photography for our wedding day! My husband and I were originally referred to [redacted] and Studio 29 Photography by a friend and the moment we met with her we knew she was the photographer for us. We booked [redacted] for our wedding and engagement photos the very next day! [redacted] is extremely professional, kind,creative, and talented. [redacted] has a keen eye to capture real moments of joy rather than focusing on unnatural and over posed pictures that we saw on so many photographer's websites. It was so much fun to work with [redacted] in planning out engagement shoot and wedding photos and we loved the unique ideas and perspective she offered with picture ideas. On our wedding day, [redacted] was an absolute joy to work with. [redacted] jumped in and helped out and she could and quickly went to snapping pictures of our venue and every little detail you could possibly think of. She took every picture that we wanted and so many more. My husband and I were completely comfortable with [redacted] and the pictures she took of our wedding day truly show the emotion of the day. She had a preview of our wedding up within days for us to enjoy viewing while we were still on our honeymoon and the rest of the pictures were posted in what seemed like no time at all after the wedding. I would absolutely highly recommend [redacted] and Studio 29 Photography to anyone looking for a talented, creative photographer who loves her job and makes everyone around her smile with her energy and enthusiasm.

Where to begin?! [redacted] truly made everything about our wedding amazing. From the engagement shoot (where she made us feel so comfortable) to the wedding day - She was a calming presence and added to our day. She had great suggestions throughout for 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. [redacted] is 5 stars and anyone would be lucky to have her as a part of their wedding!!

Long before my husband and I were even engaged, my then boyfriend would randomly be looking at Facebook, and insist I stop what I'm doing, and look at the most recent post from his high school friend, [redacted]. Look at these colors, look at the light, this moment, the emotion!! I was hooked.

When we got engaged, [redacted] 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 [redacted] 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 [redacted], 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. [redacted] 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.

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!

When I saw [redacted] site I was shocked and amazed at the quality of work and creativity! I couldn't even wait to get an appointment to have my son's 1 year pictures taken! He had not had any previous professional pictures done and she did amazing! She is wonderful a dn amazing with kids, she kept him s idling and occupie, and found great ways to keep him occupied while getting an amazing picture! I absolutely can not wait to get all of his other pictures done by her! I feel like his first year was stopped in time and I will always remember it with these remarkable pictures! Thank you so much [redacted]! You gave a great gift to remember our son that we will never be able to forget!!

Couldn’t have asked for more in a photographer!
From day ONE [redacted] was a phenomenal resource for wedding planning, helping in every aspect she could to make the process as streamlined as possible. [redacted] is someone who truly listens to your vision of how your wedding day will be and helps make sure 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 [redacted] 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. [redacted] 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 [redacted] for your wedding, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! [redacted] is the total package and I can’t recommend her enough! [redacted] 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 – [redacted]

What can I say about Ms. Ren D[redacted] and Studio 29 aside from the obvious? Upon meeting her for the very first time, one can’t help but notice the sweet disposition and incredibly warm composure she exudes. One also can’t help but fall madly 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 D[redacted].
Most Adoringly,

We had [redacted] capture our engagement session on what we thought would be a beautiful Fall day in October...An hour before the session, we encountered the oh-so-typical Wisconsin first snow fall. It was made us a bit nervous, but [redacted] assured us we could make it happen. Sure enough, she had us laughing, playing in the wet leaves and smiling ear-to-ear the ENTIRE time! [redacted] 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!

I became aware of Studio 29 after bidding at a silent auction at an event involving Maggie's Angels. We just received on-line all of our family pictures and it will be truly hard to decide which ones to get as they turned out wonderfully. We highly recommend Studio 29!!

[redacted] with Studio 29 was recommended to us by one of my wife's co-workers. When we met with [redacted] for our initial consultation we immediately knew that we wanted her to shoot our wedding. [redacted] is extremely high-energy and it is very apparent 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, [redacted] 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 [redacted] 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!

Full disclosure- I discovered Studio 29 because she is my dear friend's cousin. However, that in no way clouds my ability to recognize her as an outstanding artist. From a professional stand point, she is truly a gifted photographer. Her 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.

My fiancé went to high school with [redacted] and through that they know a lot of the same people. Even before we were engaged, I'd see her work on various engagements, weddings, and family shoots pop up on my Facebook news feed and always stop whatever I was doing to admire it. When we met with [redacted] 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. [redacted] 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 [redacted] to photograph our wedding next year!

I got the pleasure to work with [redacted] on many different occasions and every time she blows me away. Everyone at that wedding wants pictures taken of all the important moments but they don't want a photographer in their face the whole time. That is what made [redacted] 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 [redacted] in the future! :)

My fiance & I met [redacted] a year before our wedding. After our first meeting with her, we knew she was going to be the perfect wedding photographer - and we couldn't have been more right. From the minute [redacted] introduced herself, her first priority was creating a relationship with us. Her & I went on multiple Starbucks, lunch & dinner dates. [redacted] wanted to ensure that on our wedding day, she wasn't just a vendor, but a friend. [redacted] 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 [redacted] loves what she does, and her pictures are AMAZING. Our wedding pictures could not have been more perfect, and [redacted] was the perfect friend to have hanging out on our wedding day taking our pictures. [redacted] is a fantastic photographer AND friend!

My husband and I cannot stress this enough- [redacted] at Studio 29 is the absolute BEST photographer anyone planning their wedding could want!! She is so sweet, so patient and SO SO good! When she showed us 1 picture from our engagement shoot, 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...[redacted] 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!"...[redacted] 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 [redacted]

AMMMAAAZZING! Every time we look at photos that [redacted] took, my husband says, "man she's good at her job. I'm so glad we had [redacted] as our photographer!" And that completely describes [redacted] Her pictures are amazing. Any of my friends can attest that I don't usually like photos of myself, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the photos from our wedding. [redacted] 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 [redacted] after she photographed a friend of ours wedding. [redacted] 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. [redacted] work is incredible.

When we began the process of planning for our wedding, the first and most important thing for me was to find a photographer that I liked. I wanted someone who I felt I could trust to turn every picture into a work of art that I would want to hang 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 [redacted] 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 [redacted] 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. [redacted] 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.
