Nice to meet you!

(Promise that’s the bride’s gin that I’m holding and not my own!)

So I probably ought to tell you a little about myself….

So many of my childhood photographs are missing an important person because they were taking the photograph, so often someone would say "I'll take the next one with you in it" and the Next One never came around.

Life moves so quickly, the only way to hold onto a moment forever is to have it documented.. That's where I come in!

Photographs can trigger so many emotions. The way I see it is if a photograph I've taken - a moment that I've captured - can make you smile, laugh or cry in the same way the moment itself did - be it a month ago or a year ago - then my job here is done..

 

HI! I'M HELEN, THE ONE WITH THE CAMERA...

 

- I'm from Frodsham, a gorgeous large village/small town in Cheshire.

- I am a new twin Mama to Aoife and Otis and totally winging motherhood every step of the way.

- I’m engaged to a bearded Irish man.

- I had a British Bulldog called Bodge, who I recently lost and can’t not mention because dogs are LIFE!

- I never say "no" to any form of cheese.

- I started studying photography in 2008, where the teacher firmly told us not to go into wedding photography.

- I ignored my teachers.

- I absolutely LOVE weddings: both photographing and attending! (Although when I'm attending I think I should be photographing and when I'm photographing I am almost definitely eyeing up your prosecco!)

- Self-confessed trashy TV watcher: I'm talking Catfish, Friends, Gossip Girl, Sex and The City, Ugly Betty, Married At First Sight, Greys Anatomy, Selling Sunset, Gilmore Girls, Cougar Town, Schitts Creek...

Netflix? Completed it, mate!

I am based in Cheshire so have done a large amount of work in surrounding areas such as Chester, Manchester and Liverpool, in addition to travelling the country quite extensively for weddings. And if I need to get on a plane to photograph your wedding, well that fills me with absolute glee too!

My approach to your wedding is unobtrusive; capturing natural moments that tell a story, being close to the events of your Big Day without imposing on it. 

 

I hope to hear from you really soon!

Helen xo
