Combining a fine art approach with a documentary style, your photo gallery will feel authentically you but editorial, bright and vibrant.
I pride myself in being described by clients as extremely organized but laid back, flexible and easy to work with.
Renske pronounced "Renska" is a mother of 2, a creative and a lover of books, tea and romance. Renske was educated in Vancouver Canada at the prestigious Emily Carr University of Art and Design. After earning her degree in integrated media she moved to Salt Lake City and then Seattle for many years to work as a photo editor and photographer in professional commercial studios. After having her son she moved back to Montana with her husband to launch her Wedding Photography career in her hometown where her heart has been all the years she was away. She currently lives and works out of Missoula. If I don't have a camera in my hand its a book. I LOVE to read and books are basically my whole personality.

Choosing a photographer is no small thing. Here are a few reasons you can feel confident in your choice:
Experience
My background in professional editing and retouching means small blemishes and imperfections will be touched up but the goal is that you'll never know. Your body is perfect, but if you tell me in the questionnaire that you are insecure about your "double chin" for example, I will make a point to help you out with my photoshop chops. Unlike many photographers, who outsource, all my editing stays in house.
Editing & Retouching
When your big day arrives I will know everything that is important to you so that I can capture the day perfectly according to your priorities and expectations. You'll fill out a comprehensive questionnaire 6 weeks ahead of your date that will ensure I am "in the know" about what's important to you regarding your photography and experience. This preparation sets me apart and is something I am proud of!
Organization
One thing I am proud of is my ability to make a couples sessions super fun with active prompts and poses that bring out your true personality as a couple. We will play and be silly and you will LAUGH! We will get the sweet, soft and romantic as well as playful fun moments that capture your spirit and memories of the day.
We will make this fun!
Why book Renske
Booking a wedding photographer is a BIG deal. I get it and do not take the privilege lightly.
I am a huge believer in preparation. That's why I use a questionnaire system to ensure that on your wedding day, my assistant and I arrive knowing EVERYTHING we need to know to maximize your investment.
We come with detailed knowledge of your priorities, pose and location ideas, family photo list, any insecurities, how involved you'd like us to be in your timeline and more.
Your Wedding Day Means A Lot...

I love classic, romantic timeless images with a heavy mix of fun candid genuine moments.
I am heavy handed with direction so you don't EVER have to worry "what do I do with my hands?" You will laugh! You will walk together, hold hands, be playful and be prompted with directives from me to get you interacting as your authentic selves in the way that is unique to your love as a couple.
