Renne Austin Bridal Boutique is the dream child of my client Angie Austin! They had spent months decorating and planning and it all paid off when they finally opened the doors for the big grand opening! I was honored to be not only the official photographer for the grand opening, but the official photographer for the store! If you are looking for a unique wedding dress and fabulous customer service, stop in and see the girls. You can also see some of my work hanging on the walls! They are located downtown Grand Rapids just next to Monte’s and O’Tooles.
I do want to give a HUGE shout out to some of the vendors that helped make the grand opening a night to remember:
Hannah Kaniewski from “Weddings from A to Z“
Jen Ederer from “Modern Day Floral“
Ken and Alex from “MiraBella Confections” (Probably some of the best and most beautiful wedding cake I have ever tasted!)
And the amazing Le Jardin did the catering, I was totally amazed by their creation “Le Jardin Creations”
Here is a little blurb from Angie about her shop:
““I started this company because I have a passion for fashion and beautiful designer dresses. There is nothing better than helping someone find the perfect dress that is going to make their occasion a memorable one. I want to give clients the opportunity to find the one dress that will make them feel beautiful, stunning, amazing, I could go on! I offer a large selection of new dresses in stock and available for special order. Depending on your needs, we ensure that you will receive the dress you want.
We treat each client to exceptional service to ensure that your event is exactly as you dreamed!”

Lisa had dreamed of an outdoor fall wedding at Detroit’s Metro Beach, unfortunately mother nature had different plans for this day. But despite the sun/sideways rain it certainly did not ruin Lisa and Brandon’s day at all! I loved every minute of this wedding, even though we froze our butts off we managed to capture some amazing moment for this fabulous couple
Lisa and Brandon I hope you guys like you preview, I loved getting to know you guys and I look forward to working with you again!
I want to say a huge thank you to Jen from Kate Linden Studios for being my second shooter! You were amazing Jen, THANK YOU!!

Some of you may remember my “Going back to my roots” blog post I did a while back about my trip to Italy and how shooting film again made me realize how much I missed it. So after a LOT of researching and analyzing and thinking about how to make this work with my business, I am finally ready to give you the first part of my big announcement! In addition to photographing in a digital format, I will now be offering a 100% film package!
Soon I will be telling you all about the joys of film and the beauty of this fine art! But you have to wait for the second part of the big announcement that is coming very soon
Many of you may know this, but when I started my business 7 years ago, film is all I shot on. I didn’t actually own a digital camera until about 2005/06 and even then I was still a film lover! In college, where I studied photography, I was taught that film was the ultimate in “fine art” mediums and digital was just a sell out…well I suppose times have changed a bit, right? Digital photography will, for now, be my main medium
A little about the package I will be offering and the equipment I will be using:
~The package will only be a 5-7 hour package, preferably daylight only
~I will be shooting on 2-3 different types of cameras. A Canon 35mm I will still be able to use all my yummy Canon lenses with this camera), a Contax 645 Medium Format and a Mamiya Twin Lens Reflex camera (this is a vintage camera that shoot in a square format)
~Included in the package is the negatives to the film and the print rights to the scanned images.
~No photoshoping will be done to any of the images (except for dust spotting, film is known to collect dust and can show up on your images)
(as a side note, if you are interested in having me photograph another type of session on film, such as children or boudoir, please contact me)
I have spent many months working on perfecting the printing and scanning process of my images (no, I don’t do this myself, I found a fabulous lab that takes care of everything for me) and I am confident that I can deliver to you beautiful, seemless images that capture your day in a way that only film images can.
To those of you who have helped me and supported me through this process, thank you. I could not have done this with out you.
This is a pretty exclusive package. I will only be shooting 4 “all film” weddings per year and I already have one wedding booked. If you are seriously interested in exploring this as an option for your wedding please feel free to contact me to schedule a meeting.
Below are images that were shot on color film with a Contax 645 camera. None of these image have been touched in photoshop, except to add my logo.
