LOVED Helo Photography!!

Helo Photography truly is one of the best in the business. My wedding photos are STUNNING, and I’m so glad to have them to look back on for the rest of my life. Not only that, but Julio is a dream to work with— responsive, kind, truly an expert. He also wrangled my family, my wedding party, and all my guests for photos with ease. He’s truly an artist, and I’m so glad we went with him and his team!

Best Photographer

Helo Photography exceeded my expectations. They were extremely thorough in capturing photos and did a beautiful job. They delivered our photos in less than four weeks, and they were stunning. I highly recommend Helo for anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer.

Julio is amazing!!

I cannot thank Julio enough for the amazing job he did! He did our engagement photos and we were in awe of how amazing they turned out! Then came our wedding day and we were completely blown away at how amazing the photos turned out. He truly captured every moment and I could not have asked for better photos. He was so fun to work with and made it so easy and stress free when shooting. I highly highly recommend Julio! I am constantly getting compliments on our photos.

Most amazing experience i could've dreamt of! Love our photos and video!

Julio and his team were recommended by my venue & wedding planner, and ended up being my favorite vendor of all! I cannot even begin to express how over the moon happy & grateful we are for the amazing experience, and gorgeous photos & video we received from them. They truly exceeded our expectations and were so much fun to work with! Our guests & vendors all raved about them. They were on time (early in fact!), so polite and courteous, and pulled us aside at the perfect times to get the most beautiful images. My engagement & bridal photos turned out amazing as well, & I've received non-stop compliments from everyone on how beautiful our images are. Julio was very efficient throughout all of our photoshoots & has a remarkable eye for photo and video. Throughout the entire process they really went above & beyond for us in addition to creating the most magical photos & video; The advice Julio gave during our phone consultation played a huge part as to why our wedding turned out as perfectly & flawless as it did, they even helped with tasks during the wedding that weren't their job, and made my husband feel at ease (which I was most worried about, since he hates photos). My husband had a lot of fun taking photos, which made my heart so happy to hear! We loved their laid back, yet professional demeanor, and felt so comfortable throughout all our photo sessions. I could go on & on about how incredible they were, and have recommended them to all my friends & family. My sister is getting married next year & has booked them also. We had the best experience we could've dreamt of thanks to them, and will treasure our photos & video forever. In fact, my new favorite past time is viewing our photos/video & reliving our wedding day all over again =). Thank you for everything Helo Photography! You are THE BEST!!!

I cannot even begin to express how thankful my husband and I are of Julio from Helo photography! When we began searching for a photographer for our Wedding, Helo photography came highly recommended by our venue. I now see why! As soon as my husband and I sat down and began to look through Julio's work, we immediately said, "this is it." His photography seriously looks like artwork. We did an Engagement photo session, and my husband and I both went into the session a little nervous, afraid of looking awkward and uncomfortable. Immediately, Julio and his fiance who was helping us out with the photo session made us feel relaxed. They were talking to us, joking and laughing. Really made the nerves go away. Julio is great about getting to know his clients, getting to know their expectations and also their personalities, and incorporating that into the photos. He has such an eye and a gift for photography. It blew my mind how we would be walking along a street, and something would just catch Julio's eye. Something that seemed so ordinary to me, but yet to Julio it was an amazing photo opportunity. He was always right! He knows the right time of the day for photo sessions, when the sun will provide the right kind of light for photos. We also did a Bridal session and also our entire Wedding with Julio, all of which came out AMAZING. He is so incredibly professional, but also so easy to work with. If I could give Julio and Helo photography 10 stars, I would. I would recommend this company to anyone I know in search of a Wedding photographer. Thank you so much for everything, Julio. We are so incredibly thankful for you. -Erica and Nathan

The skill of Julio and Helo Photography is excellent! They take beautiful pictures, and many of Julio's ideas for pictures were extraordinary. He was very flexible throughout the wedding, and took many pictures we had requested on the spot. We do wish there was a little more organization, and planning involved in the process (especially being new to wedding planning), but in the end, we are sincerely satisfied with results of the final product. There were a few imperfections at the wedding, such as flower girls standing where they shouldn't have been, but Julio did an amazing job photoshopping them out of pictures we had selected. The fastest way to contact Helo Photography is via phone, as email response time can be delayed. Overall, we are quite satisfied with Julio's photography skills, and he did an excellent job capturing many of the unforgettable moments.

Helo Photography was nothing short of amazing. From helping us find the perfect spot for our engagement photos to capturing all our favorite moments at the ceremony and reception, Helo and the whole crew made our big day and the events leading up to it nothing short of amazing!

Best photographer!!! LOVE LOVE his work!!! It was raining and cold on our wedding day which was frustrating but I can guarantee you we have the best wedding pictures imaginable. Being that my wedding was in Fredericksburg, Texas and there are many photographers around the area I chose to go with Helo in San Antonio instead and couldn't be happier. Julio's Photos are Pure Art... I love his work because it's not ordinary, it’s unique. It's hard to fine photographers that can capture the art in a moment and he does with his lens. He and his staff accommodate to your imagination as we had Pinterest ideas we wanted to try. As a client, you can tell he takes his work very serious, and as a privilege, he aims to please.... He is great to work with and I highly recommend him

Photography is the MOST IMPORTANT vendor and we are so glad we went with Helo. We just viewed the shots that were taken and they are AMAZING! They captured our moments and memories. Helo showed up on time-early actually- and shot a lot of special moments (gift exchange, card reading, etc.) It was a tear jerker and almost ruined my make up, but I am so glad he shot and filmed these moments. We opted for the "First Look" so we could enjoy more of the wedding, but WE were running late and even though we had less time for shots- he got amazing footage. Helo's team were all friendly and helpful (as they helped us with posing) and everyone at the wedding thought they worked their ass off the entire night, as they never stopped. He has an eye to capture uniqueness and we can't wait to see our video. If you want the same boring pictures and video- do not go with Helo. If you are looking for someone to capture your memories and put it together as ART then look no further.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
