Great photos and videos and experience

Rick was extremely professional and helpful. He walked us through our wedding day photograph sessions. He was always quick to respond, whether it be questions via email or text. While talking with Rick, my husband and he bonded over drones, and Rick gave us the option of drone footage.
We had an engagement photo session with Lauren, and the wedding photo sessions with Lauren and Eric. Videography was done by Fred. They were all super nice and helpful people, which was much needed on a stressful day like a wedding day. They all knew how to compose a shot and gave very clear instructions.
We received a highlight video, which all our family and friends loved, shortly after the day, and the full video and photos a few weeks later. The photos came out amazing! The drone footage also turned out really well (thankfully it did not rain!). Everyone has remarked out how great they turned out. We're still in the process of picking and choosing photos for the photo book. Overall, we loved our experience with Rick and his team, and highly recommend them to anyone seeking photographers/videographers for weddings or other special occasions.

Rick and his team are incredibly talented and professional!! It was a pleasure to work with Rick as we planned our wedding. He was flexible and accommodating throughout!! Usually taking pictures in 90 degree weather isn't a pleasant experience, but Rick and his team knew exactly what they were doing and were quick to get the best shot on the first try. The MORNING after our wedding we woke up to Rick already posting an INCREDIBLE picture from our night and a video recap of special moments. Cannot give Rick enough stars and cannot wait to see the rest of our pictures!!!!

Our wedding was July 1, 2017 and we couldn’t be happier that we used Rick Helman photography. As a newly engaged couple, we had no idea how important finding the right photographer was. As soon as we met Rick, we knew he was it! In our initial meeting Rick, we were incredibly impressed with the work that he showed us and we immediately were made to feel comfortable and heard due to his personable demeanor. Rick was not pushy, but rather he listened and made helpful suggestions. On the day of our wedding his entire crew was punctual, respectful, positive and energetic. We were thrilled to be surrounded by such wonderful people on our special day and beyond happy with our engagement photos, our wedding photos and our highlight video. We cannot thank Rick and his crew enough for capturing our love and happiness on our special day. I should also mentioned that a storm rolled in while we were taking our pictures and we got some INCREDIBLE shots, so there’s no need to panic if the weather looks rainy on the big day with Rick as your photographer.
