WEDDING COLLECTIONS
Wedding photography truly is an investment. After the day, it's one of the few things you'll have left, so make it special.
Other than your soulmate, it'll be one of the best decisions you'll make.
all about my
WEDDING
EXPERIENCE
Firstly, congratulations! This must be such an exciting time for you both.
Some quick facts about how I work. I'm a "fly on the wall" for those naturally documented moments, but I interact with my couples for those magical shots!
"When Helen decided on her career my goodness did she get it right! Helen will be so much more than your photographer, she becomes part of your day, a huge part you can't be without."
my WORK IS BEST DESCRIBED AS
natural.
organised.
relaxed.
I like my couples to be at ease during their photos. Nothing screams cheesy like a forced pose. So there's non of that!
Also, planning for me is key! I love to know what my couples have planned and for when, so that I know that I can be there to capture every second of the day!

My couples love the fact that I capture those unexpected moments and the laughter.
AN EXPERIENCE TO MATCH
So, a little background info. I shot my first wedding when I was 21. I've now been photographing weddings for 10 years (I'll let you figure out my age). With that time, has come a whole lot of experience! There's nothing at a wedding that I can't handle now!
someone you and your guests have fun with
I do my absolute best to make sure both you and your guests are enjoying being in front of the camera. I love smiles in my photos!
She has a talent of capturing
photos. If I could shout Helen’s praises from every rooftop I would!

I truly care! Sounds basic I know, but I won't stop working until I know that I've captured everything that I need to. I take the time to get to know everything that I can about my couples so that I know what photos I can get to let them know that they made the best decision when booking me!
I thank Helen with my whole for helping capture my

THE EXPERIENCE
HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
As a newly engaged couple, you may not have a clue where to begin! You know you need to get married and buy some fancy clothes, but how do you put everything together to get there? PInterest can only help you so much I'm afraid! But don't worry, as a wedding expert, and a bride to be myself, I'm here to help any way I can!
The most important thing is that you both have the best day of your lives, and that I'll capture those photos that'll help you relive it forever!
Frequently asked questions
DO WE GET TO MEET WITH YOU BEFORE BOOKING?
I have a studio in Sawbridgeworth which enquiring couples are more than welcome to come along to for a chat!
If couples are too far away to just "drop by", I'm happy to set up a video call with them so we can still meet face to face.
HOW LONG UNTIL WE GET OUR PHOTOS BACK?
All of my couples will receive their photos on their own online galleries 4-6 weeks after their weddings.
Printed products can be ordered after this. Printed products are sent away when ordered. Please contact me for more info.
DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE AND BACK UP EQUIPMENT?
Yes and yes! I am fully insured with public liability insurance as well as insurance for my equipment. I always carry at least two cameras with me at weddings, so if the worst does happen and a camera malfunctions, it doesn't mean the photos have to stop.
WHEN DO WE HAVE TO PAY THE FULL AMOUNT BY?
The non refundable deposit for your wedding is due upon booking when the contract is signed.
The remainder of your payment is due 4 weeks before your wedding day.
SHOULD WE BOOK A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?
I always suggest to couples that a second photographer is a good idea for weddings of 70+ people. A second photographer captures the wedding from another angle.
Also whilst I'm photographing the Bridal prep, my second shooter can snap away with the guys whilst they're getting ready!
WHEN DO WE DO OUR PORTRAITS?
I take my couples out at least twice on the day. Once after the groups shots/ ceremony so you both have time to celebrate being married. And a second time an hour before sunset (Golden Hour,) when the light is lovely and soft, so we can get some proper dreamy photos!
HERE'S THE THING...
I give my couples the experience that they deserve. This is a beautiful time for you both, and I make sure to do my bit to make sure that it's as stress free and fun as it can be.
I include all the things that make it special!
