She met with us multiple times before the days of our events to make sure she properly captured the type and quantities of photos we desired, and she 100% delivered on everything that we were hoping for. During the engagement photos, she made us extremely relaxed and excited for our photo shoot, and we seamlessly traveled to multiple indoor and outdoor locations across a very loud and busy downtown Chicago. On the day of our wedding, we joke that Laura felt like another bridesmaid while still doing an exceptional job throughout the day. As multiple small stresses and social curveballs were thrown her way (e.g., party members getting ready, family logistics, etc.), she was amazingly professional and personable with bridesmaids, family members, and other vendors. Most importantly, all of our photos from both events turned out PERFECTLY. Her style of no crazy filters or complex poses beautifully and, most importantly, genuinely captured our big day. We continue to go back to both our digital and printed photos frequently to relive these memories that Laura and her team honored in the best way. We highly recommend her as your photographer!

However, on the wedding day she was able to command our family and friends, etc and get everyone where they needed to be to get the shots we wanted.

We absolutely loved working with her and highly recommend her!

She took the time to understand us as a couple, she explored the neighborhood where we were getting married (Bridgeport) for great photo op ideas, and she truly delivered! She was such a reassuring and fun presence on our wedding day, along with her assistant Jacob. We can't imagine the day without her. And the photos are so incredible! We could not have been happier with the result and she delivered the images so quickly. We will be going back to her for all our photo needs for years to come. Do yourself a favor and book Jenn for your wedding, engagement session, family photos, etc. A beautiful person and amazing photographer.

Now that we are married and have seen the full gamut of her work, we will cherish her amazing photography for the rest of our lives. Her eye and creativity, organization, professionalism, no-nonsense management of our wedding party and families on the day of our wedding, and attention to detail (even when I told her I didn't care about the details, whoops) were impeccable and so, so appreciated throughout the process. Her output is incredible, and she knows *the* spots in Chicago to make it happen. I would recommend Renae to anyone in the market for an amazing wedding photographer!

She is a master at her craft and her passion and joy is contagious. Upon first meeting her, my now husband and I completely clicked with her. She was funny, easy to work with, kind and on top of that she is CRAZY talented. She doesn't do this as a hobby, she is a professional. It shows. She has been doing this for many years and she is constantly perfecting her work, learning new techniques and getting incredible shots every. single. time. We first did our engagement pictures with her. She had amazing and unexpected places in downtown Chicago that had breathtaking views that were not jammed with people. We used the engagement photos for some displays at the wedding and we received numerous compliments on how high quality and professional they were. On the wedding day, Renae absolutely crushed it. She was organized, prepared, fast but effective. She blended right in with the group and worked so hard. People shouldn't take photographers for granted because they WORK their butt off! She had wonderful ideas, kept us on schedule but also made it very fun. Its only been a couple weeks and we are already getting sneak peeks of photos from the wedding. We have about 6-7 of them and we are blown away. We are overjoyed that we get to keep these wonderfully captured moments of our wedding for the rest of our lives! We worked with numerous highly recommended vendors and they were all amazed by her photos. These are people that see wedding photos all the time! We are so so so happy with our decision to hire Renae, her talent, execution, personality and passion cannot be touched.

We booked Karen to photograph our wedding a little later than most people would, just 6 months before our wedding date. She quickly organized a face to face meeting where we spoke about the entire process. There are many things I had never thought of that Karen took the time to explain. She had us make a list of important shots for the wedding day. From there we worked directly with Karen to make the best timeline for the big day. Karen had many important tips that really made the whole day run smoother. She even helped me with a tear in my nylons!! It is important to also get engagement photos. Not so much for the actual photos but more for the act of being photographed and working with your photographer. Karen photographed us in our yard. She took time and talked with us to ensure she understood what we were looking for on the wedding day. The photos are better than I ever imagined they could be. We wanted the traditional family shots but we also wanted untraditional more artistic shots. Karen's photographs truly capture the dreamy, high-on-love feeling of our wedding day. She was so smooth we sometimes we forgot she was there. She documented every aspect of our wedding day from the favors and building facade, to every inch of my dress and every person in attendance.

She's great at capturing candid moments without being all up in your face. And we kept her going for hours and hours. She never seemed to get impatient or as exhausted as the rest of us. Even when it was freezing out, she didn't slow down, she just kept finding great shots and keeping it fun. Keeping it fun was key because neither my husband nor I like being the center of attention or being photographed all that much, so she made us both much more comfortable than we would've been otherwise. She's also great for getting photos to you quickly. My brother didn't get his wedding photos back from his photographer for months afterward which seems ridiculous. This is definitely not the case with Karen. I couldn't believe how quick she was getting photos back to us and they look amazing! My parents also loved her which is a nice bonus :).

Nothing was left to chance (something a Type-A bride like myself appreciated!) while room was still left for fun, creativity, and those *magic* moments. Communication and coordination were seamless without rigidity, her fun approach never compromised her professionalism as a key vendor, and she created a calm collaboration to identifying the vision for telling a story through photographs. It is a balancing act that comes with experience and intentionality, and something not often executed with the precision that is found with King & Opal. But, more importantly, it is the end product of all the planning, attention to detail, and following the magic that places King & Opal at the front of her craft. Her work is exquisite and attention to detail unmatched. The quiet editing and unseen touches create actual art- not just generic wedding photographs. She finds the beauty and dials it up, taking the most special wedding moments and freezing them in a multi-faceted story that is timeless and will be shared generations- deep.
