My approach to portraits is fun, simplified and laid back utilizing natural sunlight - taking advantage of our beautiful outdoor surroundings. I don't like stiff poses or perfect smiles. I like you being YOU! Sharing the in-between moments when you are unaware of the camera, are the photos that I love the most. I truly enjoy preserving the raw moments that capture who you really are at that moment in time. Years down the line, those moments are what you will remember the most.

It's the little moments that make a wedding day truly special. ๐Ÿฅน

When this moment happened during Caitlin & Mack's reception, I snapped as many photos as I could - it was just so precious!

The heartfelt effort from little miss singing the "Star Spangled Banner" on the microphone, the overwhelming joy on the faces of C+M, and the obviously adorable bond between the three... it is a capture I won't soon forget and hopefully one that grows old with them, too!

When you think of wedding photography, are you focused on phenomenal portraits or candid moments? I'm in favor of both, but I'd love to hear your thoughts! ๐Ÿ’ญ

Every detail of your day matters.

I don't say this to overwhelm you - but to assure you that I understand.

You've worked hard to plan a day that is not only beautiful, but fun and comfortable for your guests as well. So when it comes to photography, it's vital that your photographer understands how much effort was put into each and every element.

I know you picked that color palette for a reason, I know the cocktails you chose hold special meaning, and I know that you're going to want to savor the way your new spouse looks at you during your first dance for the rest of your life. ๐Ÿฅน

What is one element of decor your photographer HAS to capture on your wedding day? Is it custom cocktail napkins, a piece of your wedding attire, or maybe your handpicked bouquets? Tell me in the comments - I want to make sure it's on my shot list!

My priority as your wedding photographer is to capture every special moment - YOUR job is to have the best day ever.

When I see my couples enjoying themselves like this, I know that the rest of the day is going to go smoothly.

While it's not my job to organize the day (a good planner is your best weapon!), I take my own processes very seriously. After photographing weddings for 9 years, I know what to be prepared for on a wedding day and am eager to make sure everything is taken care of for you so you don't have to stress.

It's almost inevitable that something unexpected will happen on your wedding day - so having experienced vendors who can flow through the twists and turns is an ultimate luxury.

Who is on your must-have wedding day team? I'm eager to know which vendors you book first!

If you're looking for an absolutely stunning wedding venue with an Italian feel right here in California, set your sights on Allegretto Vineyard Resort.

From well-appointed guest rooms and a spacious bridal suite to a Tuscan-inspired courtyard and pristinely kept grounds, is everything you could hope for in an Italian venue - without the international airfare.

And of course, I can't forget to mention this jaw-dropping staircase and chandelier for a dramatic bridal entrance. ๐Ÿ˜‰

What do you think of this black-and-white edit? Does it give you a timeless feel or do black & whites leave you craving color? Everyone has different preferences and that's one of the beautiful things about choosing a wedding photographer that's right for you! ๐Ÿ“ธ

You deserve to be celebrated - wildly, loudly, passionately, and joyfully! ๐Ÿงก

I get the privilege of capturing wedding days regularly, and yet there are still some moments of every wedding day that make my breath catch in emotional joy.

One of those moments is when I get to witness a wedding party really come around the couple for the first time. Often, they're split up in the morning to get ready and it's either shortly before the ceremony or shortly after that this group of friends and close loved ones surround the happy pair.

True friendship is one of life's greatest gifts - so watching my couples be loved on by their adoring friends is one of my favorite parts of every wedding day.

Who will be by YOUR side on your wedding day? Tag your biggest supporters in the caption to say "thanks for being in my corner!" ๐Ÿซถ

Stepping into forever, one stylish stride at a time. ๐Ÿ‘ โœจ ๐Ÿ‘ž

Shoes are one of the easiest way to live out your style on your wedding day - so take advantage of it!

One of my favorite things to see couples do on their wedding day is a shoe or outfit change. Whether you need to change out your heels for sneakers or you want to ditch your ball gown for a flirty mini skirt - I'm excited to capture it all!

What kind of wedding day shoe will you don? Will they be white with bows, something blue, or will that nike swoosh peek out from under your tulle? Let's talk shoes! ๐Ÿ’ฌ

Hey there, love birds! I'm Renoda, the artist and activist behind the camera at .

When you get engaged, one of the first vendors you'll choose is your wedding photographer - but finding the right one can be tricky because it's not just about the way they shoot or the style they edit.

Finding a photographer that supports your goals and values is essential not only to reduce any wedding preparation stress but also set the tone and vibe for your complete wedding experience.

To me, your unique love and who you are at your core is what makes your marriage so special - and that's exactly what I want to capture.

So if you're getting married and looking for a photographer who will "just get it," I'm so happy we've found each other. Please reach out via DM or my website and I'd love to chat with you!

Booking your venue is one of the first two wedding planning tasks for a reason... and it's not just because you need to confirm a date. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Your wedding venue sets the tone for your special day. Maybe it's open and airy and surrounded by palm trees - with a relaxed feel. Maybe it's full of pillars and marble and high ceilings. Maybe it's a rustic barn with dirt floors and a really cool chandelier.

Whichever venue you choose, it will be the foundation upon which your day unfolds. In fact, your venue is one of my favorite things to photograph because it inherently tells a piece of your story!

What kind of venue strikes a chord for you? Do you love an urban feel? Maybe an Italian villa? Tag your favorite venues below - I want to check them out! ๐Ÿ˜

That "new bling" feeling. ๐Ÿ˜Ž ๐Ÿ’

For all you newly engaged couples, I know the urge to immediately Pinterest every element of your wedding day is STRONG.

How could you not look up every wedding dress style that complements your body type and every spring-blooming floral and every unique reception idea?

It's exciting! And I want you to be excited!

But just for me, I ask that you take a moment to just let this feeling overflow from your heart. That pure joy and feeling of belonging as you wear the ring of your betrothed... it's special. Take a moment to enjoy it and to get used to the sound of "fiancรฉ". ๐Ÿ˜‰

I have a controversial question for you today...

What is the perfect amount of time for an engagement? Are you the type to tackle wedding planning head-on and get it done in 6 months or do you need an 18+ month timeline to finalize all the details? Tell me your thoughts below! ๐Ÿ‘‡

Can I give you a little wedding advice? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Your wedding day IS a big day, a very special day, but it should still feel like YOU.

Don't overdo it.

Don't get the great big gown if that's not you. Don't splurge on overwhelming florals if you like to keep it simple. Don't go with the sparkly stilettos if you're more of a chunky wedge person. Don't book the great big villa if you love the ranch barn vibe. Don't invite everyone you've ever met if your closest relationships are the ones your truly treasure.

When it comes down to it, the happiest couples I photograph are the ones who really committed to following their own hearts and planning a day that was special to them - regardless of what anyone else thinks. I promise, if you stick to being YOU, it's the best wedding decision you'll make.

I know this is controversial, but I'm going to ask anyway - what's your opinion on guest counts? If money was no object, do you feel like "the more the merrier" or are you more of an intimate group kind of person? Argue your point below ๐Ÿ‘‡

There's nothing better in life than marrying your very best friend. ๐Ÿ’–

From the moment I met Kim & Michael, I knew they were one of those special couples whose relationship is based on true, deep friendship - it's one of the reasons I immediately said "yes!" to them.

On their wedding day, the warmth and joy that radiate from them could be felt by all who encountered us - and they made everyone feel like an important part of their love story. Laughter filled the weekend and I captured their beautiful day.

When you think of your partner, do they fit the title "best friend"? If so, message me - I will obsessively capture every precious moment of your special day! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Did you know that a blue butterfly, in Japan, is considered good luck? ๐Ÿฆ‹

In Japanese folklore, the blue butterfly, or 'aoi cho,' symbolizes transformation, joy, and eternal love. It is believed that these graceful creatures carry the souls of departed loved ones, blessing weddings with their presence and bringing good fortune to the newlyweds.

Victoria + Alex's wedding was adorned with delicate blue butterflies - and their beautiful wedding day really seemed to be touched with magic. โœจ

On your wedding day, you deserve to be surrounded by EVERYONE you love.

For many of us, that's just not possible anymore.

However, there is still joy to be found in incorporating your loved ones in any way that you'd like. Whether you hang their portraits from your bouquet, reserve seats for them up in front, or honor them some other way - I'm here for it and will help you capture their essence.

If your loved one has passed, how are you dealing with it going into wedding season? If you're struggling, slow down, take some time, and breathe!

Marriage is more than just a union; it's a partnership! ๐Ÿค

In marriage, we face life's challenges hand in hand, celebrate each other's successes, and work together to build a future.

Sharing every part of you - the good, the bad, and the ugly - it's all that's required. But if you do it right, what is gained will be far greater than any sacrifice required - for you will build a life filled with love, joy, and shared dreams.

In your relationship, do you truly feel like partners? What's one thing you love most about being in a partnership with your significant other? Share your heartwarming thoughts with me below! ๐Ÿ’ฌ

There's just NOTHING like capturing the moment someone drops to their knee and asks their lover to choose them forever - well, except maybe having it happen to you, that's really great too. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I was so thrilled to be a part of this special proposal - from a message in a bottle to a treasure chest ring box, this proposal was top-notch creative!

Congrats to Donna + Jane, who now get to look forward to a lifetime of exciting adventures - and who will always be able to look back on *the moment* forever began!

For Alexandra + Peter, a pit stop at In N Out was the perfect way to celebrate after sharing vows on the lawn at the Santa Barbara Courthouse.

Like many couples in recent years, they decided to elope and make sure their day was really all about celebrating THEM - in all of their quirkiness!

Love keeps us young. ๐Ÿ’–

In the storms of life, love is a life raft and a safe harbor. Love has a way of energizing and inspiring to not only hope for a better future, but to create one!

For Kim & Michael, they found a lighthouse in each other. A soft, steady, constant light that lets them know home is near and protects them from even the darkest nights.

I hope you find your lighthouse. In the meantime, I have a tough question for you - think about it, then answer in the comments!

Hi there, I'm Renoda - of Renoda Campbell Photography.

As you can tell by this page and this self-portrait, photography is my chosen art form. But this story started a long time ago.

I'm so lucky that this is exactly what I do today: I am an inclusive, luxury wedding and event photographer and it would be my joy to capture your day!

If you ever have any questions, please reach out to me. I would love to walk you through your next big moment together!

As they stood together, ready to embark on this journey as one, a wave of gratitude washed over me - that I should be the one honored to freeze this moment in time, preserving the beauty of their love for generations to come.

In this enchanting close-up, the soft hues of spring envelop a couple lost in their own world of affection - and this perfectly describes the engagement shoot of Marissa & Austin!

She leans gently against him, her head resting softly on his shoulder, while he keeps her close, radiating warmth and devotion. Her floral dress echoes the blossoming season, while his crisp white shirt adds a touch of timeless elegance to the scene. With her engagement ring gleaming as a symbol of their commitment, their love story unfolds.

Marissa & Austin were everything I love about capturing springtime romance. ๐Ÿ’–
