About

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by to get to know me! I’m a wedding & portrait photographer in Atlanta, Ga. I’m married to the funniest, smartest, techy-est, football loving guy named Rafael! Together we love to hike, explore new places, try new foods, make new friends, serve at church, and watch The Office all night long (it never gets old, amiright?)

I have been pursuing photography for 4 years now and it has been the best decision I’ve ever made! I was inspired right after planning my own wedding! Since then we have added video services to our packages as well, so you get two services and one vendor - Yayyy! I love to capture all the small, in-between moments that lead up to the big moments that you can’t miss! You plan your wedding for a long time and I love to be involved in the planning process and be your friend throughout it too, in other words I’ll be there for you! ; )

Sometimes people get nervous about taking photos or they say they are super awkward – but what I have noticed is that after we do the engagement session, they feel so good about the themselves and super satisfied with the turnout! It’s because I’m very down-to-earth and don’t do very ‘posey’ looks, I make it fun and adoorable with the corniest jokes, and fun prompts - but don’t worry I will guide you! : ) All I need you to do is be willing to go out of the box, take an adventure, and allow yourself to be in-love! <3

Thank you for stopping by! Send me an email and Let’s meet!

Amazing photographer!

Hellen is AMAZING! Hellen took our engagement photos. She was very professional and kind. She had a lot of great poses suggestions. The photos came out so perfect! We printed them out and they will be displayed on our desks for many years to come! :) Overall, Hellen is great!

Creative, detailed and talented- Joy to work with!

From a venue + coordinator standpoint , the photographers we work with can assist in making a dream day for our couples- That is just what Hellen and her team did for a recent wedding at our venue. She was incredibly detailed for both our timeline and planning standpoint in organizing all family and bridal party photos. She also did a great job of keeping a large family and bridal party on track on the big day. We had a few unexpected hurdles no one could have predicted on the day of- timing was able to be pushed back and adjusted on the spot and she and her team were incredibly helpful keeping all calm and very flexible in rolling with the new plans as they arose. Her work is breathtaking, and we cannot wait to see more images she has captured from the day! We meet a lot of photographers and she and her team left a lasting impression due to their professionalism, kindness, organization and work ethic- hope to work with her again soon! - Shannon

Simply amazing!

When we decided to hire a photographer and videographer for our wedding I knew we had to hire Hellen Oliveira Photography. We cannot express just how grateful we are to have had Hellen and her team as a part of our day. Thank you for all the exceptional work you delivered. From engagement photos to wedding day photos, we are absolutely in love with everything.
For those reading the reviews trying to decide whether you should or should not hire Hellen and her team, here’s my advice to you: You will NOT be disappointed to hire them, so don’t wait to book them because I am sure they get booked prettyyyy quick. 🙃🤪

Thank you again Hellen! 🤍 best of luck with your business!

The absolute best

From our very first introduction call with Hellen we knew she is exactly the type of photographer we want to hire for our special day! And so we went ahead and secured the date right away! Hellen is very organized and on top of everything, she provided us with a long list of great locations to choose from for our engagement pictures, a questionnaire to get to know us better, and helped her figuring out what we like/ dislike . She also creates her own photography timeline which’s extra work that not many photographers do! She’s reachable and very responsive anytime you need her. She cares about what the bride and groom want and are looking for, unlike other photographers that I've dealt with in the past who didn't bother to ask what we are expecting from them.! Hellen is truly incredible, despite being 9 months pregnant, she made it to our wedding and was able to capture lots of fun moments, she and Rafael (her husband who's a videographer) make the perfect team! Her assistant Natalia and Rayssa were also amazing, they went above and beyond to capture me and my husband as we were getting ready.
Both of our engagement & wedding pictures turned out absolutely AMAZING!! We got countless compliments on them! I would definitely work with her again.

Don't wait, book Hellen now!

Let me preface this by saying book Hellen Oliveira Photography today!

Originally, we did not know if we wanted a videographer or not. We saw a friend's wedding video and immediately knew we needed one. We got Hellen from a recommendation and her and her team instantly solidified our decision. Hellen made the paperwork, timeline, and correspondence a breeze. She was easy to get a hold of and very responsive.

On our wedding she and her crew showed up, cameras rolling and ready! Hellen came as well despite being pregnant. It showed the commitment to her craft and the investment she takes in her client relationships.

Our sneak peek and final video were more than we could have asked for. It was great to watch and see parts of the wedding that we were hurried through or parts we didn't even get to see!Can't recommend it enough. The video was HD quality and is only going to get more enjoyable to watch over time.

100% recommend.

Photography Review

We had the pleasure of having Hellen as our photographer for both of our wedding and engagement photos, and wow is she amazing! Her husband Rafael was there for both as well and captured amazing footage for our wedding video. I can not explain how awesome these two are! They are so nice and easy to work with. I can be very shy and nervous when it comes to having my picture taken but they made me feel so comfortable the entire time. I am so glad they were able to capture these moments for us and I would recommend them to anyone! I can not thank them enough for helping make our big day so special!

Our Big Day

One of the biggest challenges I faced on finding a photographer for our special day was the fact that I was doing a destination wedding. I had to plan my entire wedding from a different state! Lucky enough my lovely sister n law helped me find Hellen. She was recommended to her by another photographer! When I checked out Hellen’s Instagram and FB I loved the pictures I saw! We had a phone conversation and Hellen asked me about my wedding style to get a feel of what I was looking for! I felt like we had an instant connection on the phone!

On our big day Hellen was great! She was prompt and on time! I felt like everything ran smoothly and she even got some good pictures of my not so cooperative 3 year old son!

When I got the pictures back they were absolutely stunning! She captured everything I could hope. The reality is once your wedding day is over, all you have is pictures to help you remember your big day! I have had numerous compliments on my wedding photographer! If anybody is on the fence about who they should hire as their photographer, I would defiantly go with Hellen! She won’t let you down I promise!

Hellen is wonderful!

Hellen is wonderful!! We received our AMAZING engagement pictures within a week a taking them. She is very responsive, easy to work with and helpful during the photos with posing. Hellen is also very flexible. We had bad weather on initial date for the pictures and we were able to move it without a problem! We can't wait to have her photograph our wedding as well!

Awesome photographer!!! Beautiful work!

Our daughter had a micro wedding in Atlanta the end of October and we were fortunate to find Hellen to be our photographer! Very professional with great photographs/memories! Would hire her again without looking any further!

Professional, Beautiful, Special Photos

Hellen is incredible! After COVID derailed multiple wedding plans, we decided to get married in the mountains of North Carolina. A friend highly recommended Hellen so we decided to reach out and see if she was available for our minimony. From the very first communication Hellen was extremely responsive and helpful, providing location recommendations and other suggestions. A week and a half before our wedding, we had a last minute venue change. Hellen was completely understanding and accommodating of the change. On the wedding day itself, Hellen and her husband Rafael were beyond amazing. They were such a calming, guiding, supportive presence and helped lead my husband and I as well as our immediate families through it all. She captured the raw emotion and magic of the day SO incredibly well. We feel so fortunate that Hellen and Rafael were a part of our intimate day. After our wedding, she posted sneak peeks the very next day and our teaser video 3 days later! Our family and friends who were not able to be there were amazed at how beautiful the pictures and video were! I would HIGHLY recommend booking Hellen for wedding, engagement session, or any event. We will treasure the moments she captured for the rest of our lives.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
