Benny was wonderful to work with! Great personality - my family and friends enjoyed working with him as well. He's willing to do whatever he needs to get the pictures you want including running around outside in the middle of winter and staying late into the reception.

I shopped around for photographers for MONTHS! My fiance and I choose Helio's because of his amazing online portfolio. We set up our engagement photos with him (included in our package) and we literally fell in love him-I thought my fiance was going to run away with him! :) He made us feel so comfortable as I am not to comfortable taking pictures. He brought us all over St. Paul and local parks and the new train depot-he knew so many amazing spots. All of our friends and families commented on how great our pics were-they weren't all "posed", alot of them were us of laughing and doing "crazy" things, they were so good! So for the wedding I gave Benny (the owner) free reign with photos, and by the end of the night I had people asking me who the photographer was because he was so good and funny. He is engaging and artistic and can make a simple pose amazing. I would recommend him to anyone for any occasion-you WILL NOT regret it.
As for the cost-it was very reasonable. Benny worked with our budget and went above and beyond. The day of the wedding he was there at 10:00 to begin photos for hair/makeup and around 2:00 a second photographer came as well to work with him. Benny stayed until after 10:00 pm, well after the videographer had left. I told Benny at one point if he needed to go leave I understood, but he said he was having to much fun and getting great shots-and stayed. He was definitely one of our best choices for our wedding! :) Thank you Benny!!!

Benny at Helios Photography is fantastic! He is super easy to work with, and we love the way he captured our wedding day. Our photos turned out great!
