Renee Allen Photography

Renee took my engagement and wedding photos and she is fantastic! She’s so sweet and organized, which is incredibly helpful when you’re trying to get family together to take wedding pictures! Besides the standard posed wedding shots, she got a lot of candids of my friends and family having a fun time. She sent all of the pictures to me within 2 weeks and put the pictures on her site for us to view just as fast. It was great working with Renee! She is so wonderful, I highly recommend her!

My wife and I were very overwhelmed during the process of preparing for our August wedding and it was such a pleasure to work with a professional that was calm and experienced.
During our first meeting, we both felt that she was a very genuine person, which is a trait I value, since I felt that most of the professionals I had met in the wedding industry up to this point were trying to sell an overpriced service (I was raised in a very frugal home). Throughout the time leading up to the wedding, she was very timely in her communications with us and very responsive to requests.
During our wedding, she was very non-​intrusive taking candid pictures and was very organized in taking our wedding group pictures while keeping the process fun. I’ve dabbled in photography in the past and I was very happy with the results (I never imagined how many photos could be generated in one day!).
In conclusion, I highly recommend her not only as a professional photographer, but a trustworthy individual who will facilitate the stressful process of wedding preparation.

Between my husband and I, we’ve hired Renee 4 times. Renee did great work for my brother’s law firm, for a corporate gig, and just sent us our wedding photos. She’s personable, and takes great artistic shots.
We’d definitely work with her again, and have recommended her to a number of friends.

Renee is an amazing photographer, capturing images that tell a story of an event, showing emotions and capturing details of your special day. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing many wonderful photographers work over the years and the quality of Renee’s images far surpass what I typically see. The importance of having someone calm and warm around you for 5 to 8 hours is something that really is a key element when hiring a photographer. She doesn’t miss a beat and you won’t even know she is there. I recommend her all the time and will continue to spread the word, you won’t be sorry.

In the last ten years, through our wedding, pregnancies, and two children’s birthdays, I have never looked further than Renee Allen to capture these milestones events. Her special talents are numerous, but I notice especially her knack for telling the story on film, for capturing genuine feeling in her subject’s faces, and flattering her subjects with the best use of natural lighting. Her portraiture of my two children is full of vitality and somehow captures their inner light. And her easeful manner with the kids has made getting a family portrait a total breeze. Our walls are graced with inimitably awesome Renee Allen photographs, and I will always be grateful we found her.

From the moment we saw Renee’s portfolio, we were hooked — and then meeting her in person, we knew exactly she was the photographer we wanted for our wedding. She’s amazingly talented, extremely discreet, and our photos came out resolutely fantastic.
Renee’s photo-​journalistic style captured our friends and family perfectly — I can’t count how many individuals have requested copies of their own photos.
Once the wedding got going, we didn’t even notice Renee was taking pictures — she has a great capability to disappear, then capture an amazing range of pictures from multiple angles with varying perspectives.
We got every picture we might want — and the turn around time to get the digital images from her was within 3 weeks of our wedding. Renee is a fantastically talented photographer and a very efficient vendor — we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Top drawer — and thanks again, Renee!

I hired Renee to photograph my wedding of about 75 people in August in San Francisco. She was fantastic. Easy to work with. Honest. On time. And then the pictures… they’re beautiful! I love how she takes portraits of people that are so natural and beautiful. I love how she floats around the room, not in anyone’s way at all, getting pictures of wonderful moments that I will have forever. I can’t believe some of the pictures she got of my 90-​year-​old grandmother! Thank you for those, Renee!
Before I hired Renee, I looked at her website and many others. I liked her photos and the simplicity of her website. I also liked Renee a lot when I met her. But you never know until you see the photos. I had a gut feeling she was the photographer for me, but I was worried that maybe her website was only best shots and who knows what I would get. But I decided to trust my gut and hired Renee over, well you know, all the others.
The photos she took are just gorgeous, and not only that, they are what she described I would get. I hate it when someone says they’ll take one kind of photo and then they take another. But she gave me what she said she would give me, which was mostly action shots, capturing moments. She took every posed shot I requested of course (and they are beautiful too).
Also, I REALLY appreciate the way Renee does NOT get in the way at weddings. We had a guest who decided he would be photographer and he was so in the way. Renee gets the shots — beautiful ones — without being in the way. I LOVE that.
I’m very happy with Renee’s work!

Renee was a pleasure to work with. We hired her for our wedding 5 years ago, and I’ve since hired her for commercial projects with my own clients. Easy going, great value, very professional and an incredible turn around time. I’d recommend her anytime.

We were looking for a fresh approach to stills to relaunch various assets across our Muscle Daddy Body Building Brand; packaging; website; promotional materials; print advertising and; other collaterals. We reviewed several photographers many experienced in shooting Bodybuilding products and accessories but all we saw were the same visuals over and over. When we met Renee she simply got the brand. The resulting visuals are simply arresting and will break through the crowded Fitness Products Industry. I wish I had met Renee when I worked in the Spirits & Wine Industry; how I could have used her talent.

Renee does great work! The head shots she took of me turned out amazingly (I bought double the number of pictures I originally intended to buy!). She is very professional, very personable, and very very good at what she does.

I can not say enough good things about Renee. Her work speaks for itself and I immediately knew that I wanted her at my wedding. We recently had our engagement session with her. My fiancé and I had no idea what to expect (we are really not used to going all over the city while someone is taking our picture). She knew how to make us feel comfortable and it was a lot of fun.
We just received our engagement pics from her (on 2 DVD’s) and they are AMAZING! I was hoping for about 5 great pictures and well, I was able to really narrow it down to 216 pictures! I can not wait to work with her again next year and can not recommend her enough!
