sarah renee studios

midwest wedding and portrait photographers

Fueled by equal parts Dunkin coffee and passion, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile and ask time to please slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. 

I believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together. I believe in images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come. 

welcome

get to know the photographer

We have only great things to say about Sarah Renee Studios! From our engagement photo session to our wedding day and beyond, working with Sarah was an amazing experience. She was organized and quickly responded to any questions or concerns we had leading up to the big day. On the day of the wedding, she was timely, professional and captured so many beautiful memories for us.

"As if her work weren't amazing enough, she's the absolute kindest!

I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience working with Sarah. She was was so approachable, always quick to respond to my questions. Most importantly, her photography is breath-taking! She captured unbelievably beautiful photos from our wedding day that we will cherish for our lifetime. I told Sarah that she was the second best decision I made related to my wedding - second only to saying yes to my husband.

- Betsy & Andy

“SHE WAS SO APPROACHABLE AND HER PHOTOGRAPHY IS BREATH-TAKING!”

next step:

You've thoroughly combed through my website, blog and Instagram feed and you like what you see. So the next step is setting up a time to chat to make sure we're the perfect fit for one another.   

We get to know each other 
over a cup of coffee, glass of wine or sweet treat!

Once your date is officially reserved, we'll send over a few goodies to help you prepare for the big day. As well as our full online planning guide that goes over every possible detail from, engagement planning, timelines and our VIP vendor teams we LOVE working with. 

Date secured. And now the fun begins!

Sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. We’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos. 

The engagement session. 
let's get you comfortable in front of the camera

We check in about two months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else we should know about your big day.

Wedding prep.
Let's get organized for the big day!

It's finally here! The day the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. Just know we're excited to celebrate and capture your wedding day. It's going to be awesome.

The Big Day!

You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within about three weeks of your wedding. At that time, we'll also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums. 

Your images are ready!

If your collection includes a custom-designed, handcrafted heirloom album, or you choose is as an add-on, we’ll start designing your album after you receive your image gallery! We have a very streamlined process to make it simple and easy. We will work together to create a design featuring all your favorite images that will preserve all your memories from your big day!

One of the best ways to make your wedding memories last is by ordering an album. These high quality professionally designed albums come in a variety of linen & leather colors. These aren’t the same albums your parents' wedding photos came in. They’re modern, lay perfectly flat and look incredible on a coffee table.

Handcrafted albums are the perfect way to remember your wedding day

engagement sessions

It’s normal to be a little nervous about your session. We always tell people that we still get nervous before having our photos taken - and we do this for a living!

We’re big fans of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how we pose. 

Engagement sessions are complimentary in all of our packages because it is truly a key part of The Sarah renee studios Experience.

Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits - which is why we’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time. 

Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include pets!). While they’re great for save-the-dates, we’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding. 

At this moment we include a complimentary engagement session because we find it is one of the best ways for you and for us to get to know each other even better before the big day. It also makes a great trial run for you before the big day.

Can we trade the complimentary engagement for something else?

If you want to work with us we will send over a online proposal for you to look through that includes all of our packages. If you are having a custom designed package that will be included in your online proposal. Everything from contracts, to invoice is done via our secure online booking website.

if we decide we want to book - what do we need to do?

Yes, in fact once you book we send over a complete online wedding guide to help you in all aspects of your wedding planning from engagement, to our VIP Vendors, to post wedding albums and products. We are here to make sure your Big day is as stress-free as possible.

WE need help finding other vendors. Do you have recommendations?
