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. The memories that live on for generations.

Photos have an integral role in our lives. They are how we remember times past and relive them as if they are the present. Photographs are the one medium that can bring us back to another time. They tell a story of our lives, who we are, who we loved, how we loved, and show the future generations to come of our legacy.

Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.

Even with it's ups and downs, your life, your story, are beautiful and I can't wait to create images to show that!

Sarah Renee

Nothing better than a quote from the good ol Dr. Dre! However, I do have to say that he really was on to something. I am a total sucker for some 90's rap and 90's boy band music. It's like the epitome of my growing up years. I was born in the late 80's so I guess you could say I am a 90's kid! Also, there isn't a day that I won't have a coffee. I am a Dunkin girl through and through... I LOVE traveling to Boston not just because it is an awesome city but there is a Dunkin Donuts on practically every corner. I love Boston Creme Donuts, pizza (with pineapples, seriously they are the best) and pretty much any type of Mexican food. Tacos are life am I right!?

I love traveling and have a bit of a addiction to warm weather and sunny beaches. However I hate wearing bathing suits. Go figure! and like all basic girls I love wandering the aisle at Target..

You just have to find that thing that's special about you that distinguishes you from all the others, and through true talent, hard work, and passion, anything can happen.

back to about

This passion of mine began in October of 2010 after 3 years being an exclusive second photographer for another Cleveland wedding photographer. However, if you were a fan or around when my journey first started you will remember I didn't start off as Sarah Renee Studios... I actually named my business Creative Expressions Photo. But upon attending a fantastic photographers workshop in April of 2014, I was challenged to do some serious reflecting on my business and decided it was time for a name change. Thus, Sarah Renee Studios was born... and yes that really is my middle name. I have been photographing couples in LOVE for over 8 years now and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

History

I believe in soulmates

The first time my grandpa saw my grandma, he was so sure she was the one, he walked straight up to her and told her he knew she was the one for him. Was it forward? Yes. But it worked. They ran away and eloped not even a month later and 25 years, 4 kids they were still going strong, until the passing of my grandfather.

My grandparents have always been a beautiful example of love, understanding and marriage. I wear the ring that my grandfather gave my grandma on their 25th wedding anniversary just days before he passed to remind me of their love and dedication. Photos remind us of the strength, courage and hope that reside in all of us the way few other things can.

Nothing beats that warm end-of-the-day glow and something about the summer makes it even more magical. I'm a firm believer that everything looks better in that light!

SUMMER SUNSETS

There is something magical about escaping to the beach with your closest friends and family for a few days away. Throw in a tropical drink or sunset and you have a perfect weekend! Did I mention I got married on the beach?

Wanderlust over here! I LOVE to travel. It's so freeing for the soul. There is something so amazing about going somewhere new and exploring, learning about the culture, trying new foods and seeing the amazing landscapes and architecture.

So I am pretty much obsessed with Dunkin Coffee and Boston Creme Donuts. It's kinda a problem. But I can not start a wedding day or session off without at pit stop to the local Dunkin for a coffee! But don't get me wrong I love a good local coffee shop too!

Dahlias, daisies, heck, even dandelions. I'm a big believer that a few fresh florals in a jar and you can transform any room or occasion into something elegant (or even magical if it happens to be peony season!)

I'm a mom and to me there is nothing more satisfying and rewarding than when my little girl wants to curl and give me all the snuggles. I know the snuggles won't last forever so I cherish them while I can get them now.

They knew exactly what we were going for, and what we wanted out of our wedding pictures, and were super flexible when it came to adjusting for weather. Most importantly- their photos are stunning.
