About the Studio
Stillmark Studio is a photography and visual arts practice working across wedding, portrait, family, fine art, and landscape photography. The studio is grounded in the belief that strong images are the result of judgment and timing — knowing when to step in, when to step back, and what is worth preserving.
Wedding and event photography at Stillmark Studio is approached with the same intent that guides all of the work: attentiveness to people, awareness of context, and a clear sense of narrative. The focus is on documenting events as they unfold — with energy when required, discretion when appropriate, and an eye for moments that carry weight beyond the day itself. The goal is not spectacle, but coherence: photographs that feel true to the experience rather than manufactured for effect.
Alongside commissioned work, the studio maintains an ongoing fine art and landscape practice. These images explore stillness, light, and the relationship between time, place, and human presence. Influenced by philosophical inquiry and spiritual reflection, the work favors restraint over excess and longevity over immediacy.
Stillmark Studio is shaped by a family-centered life and a long-view mindset. This perspective informs a respect for continuity, legacy, and the way images accumulate meaning over time. Whether photographing a wedding, a family, or a landscape, the studio’s approach remains consistent: to create considered photographic work that endures.
The Photographer
My name is Rene Sorensen and I am the photographer behind Stillmark Studio. My approach to photography is shaped by a belief that strong images are the result of attention, timing, and judgment rather than formula or excess.
My work spans weddings, portraits, fine art, and landscapes, and I approach each with the same underlying discipline: observing what is unfolding, understanding the rhythm of a moment, and choosing when to act. In dynamic environments such as weddings and events, this means being engaged, responsive, and decisive — able to move quickly when energy rises, and to remain unobtrusive when it matters more to let moments breathe.
Outside of commissioned work, I maintain an ongoing fine art and landscape practice. These quieter projects inform how I see light, space, and structure, and they influence my approach to all photography. I am drawn to images that hold up over time — photographs that feel grounded rather than performative.
I am a family man with a strong interest in philosophy and spiritual inquiry. These influences shape my long-view perspective and my respect for the role photographs play in memory, legacy, and meaning. They do not define the work overtly, but they inform the care and intention behind it.
Behind the camera, my role is simple: to be fully present, to work with clarity and purpose, and to create photographs that feel honest to the people and places they represent.
