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!
I found Hellen on wedding wire and was first drawn to her for so many reasons! I loved her photos (warm, simple but elegant), loved that she and her hubby worked together (so they knew what going through a wedding was like), and she was from my hometown! Talking to her on the phone about her services was a breeze and she was really flexible in what we needed (how many hours we needed her was different than most). Not every photographer is that way! And she didn’t push for services that we didn’t want or need. On our wedding day her and her husband really knocked it out of the park! She took control and told us what to do, where to stand and how to look at the camera. We are not used to being in front of the camera so that was so nice! We are so thankful for her and your husband and I’ll be recommending her to all my friends!!

Best decision ever! (besides marrying my husband)
Seriously, please, consider Hellen for all your media needs! I hired her for my June 2020 wedding and everything I have received from her has been magical. Every interaction was kind and positive, which is huge when communicating with vendors during MONTHS of planning (especially dealing with COVID-19 on top of everything). She offers a lot in each package which is hard to find. Her editing style is stunning. She has all the best equipment. Her site and communication is prompt, organized, and professional. We received our pictures and video back pretty quickly, which is sometimes a problem I heard about other photographers.
Hellen listens to what you want and makes it happen! My favorite story of her is when we took our first look pictures at Mission San Juan Capistrano and staff was being very strict (probably because of COVID-19) and came over to tell us that we are 2 min over our hour and we need to leave (even though they made us late getting started because they almost didn’t let our whole party in, which was confirmed with the director beforehand). So we were bummed and slowly started making our way towards the exit, but Hellen would stop us and say, “Oooh, this is pretty. Let’s get a couple shots here“. Hahaha it made us laugh because we were technically leaving, but I love that she was strong and brave enough to get us our shots because they turned out beautiful! Thank you, Hellen!
I feel like when I saw outstanding reviews, I would think it’s possible that this bride is getting a discount or something for a good review. I can promise you that this is not the case here. I strongly believe in lifting others up in their business if they are amazing. I am being so genuine when I say Hellen and her team were one of the best decisions I made 😊
