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.

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.

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!!!!

I do not even have words for how amazing Rick and his team were on our wedding day. We got married on June 9, 2017, and from beginning to end we knew he would take care of us. Rick and his team were there for a total of 9 hours and they were always happy and willing to make sure we got every image we wanted If we requested it, he made sure we got it. He got shots that my husband and I could only dream about, which all turned out better than we imagined. We also had our engagement session with Rick, which was a blast. He really captured our love for one another, along with our personalities, in every image. We cannot wait to see the rest of our photos to come.

Rick shot our wedding at Seasons on March 25th, 2017. Throughout the entire process, Rick was so above and beyond AMAZING! We even became good friends over the course of a year of planning! We felt completely and totally comfortable leaving the massive responsibility of photo and video of our big day in the capable hands of Rick Helman! If you are looking for the right guy to handle and and all of your photo / video needs for your big event - stop looking. You found your guy! He does not disappoint! :-)

We had seen some of the photos taken by Rick at our venue, the New York Country Club. And we had heard of his reputation through them and our DJ. Anyone we talked to said the same thing “He is the best. He may be a little bit pricey, but it’s so worth it”. And they weren’t lying. My husband and I only had to wait about 3 weeks after the wedding to receive ALL of our finalized photos – touched up and everything. We went through each one, and both of us cried. The pictures were perfect. There’s no better word to describe them. They captured each moment of our day perfectly, and reliving each moment of that day was nothing short of bliss. Our photographers, Lauren and Joe, were patient with us (a somewhat rowdy bunch), came with great ideas, and even stayed until the end of wedding, even though that meant staying longer than originally contracted to, by a few HOURS. They were “ghosts” during the reception, but still got the perfect shots, and weren’t “in your face” during the reception, but still managed to capture the joy on each persons’ face. Every big and little moment that meant everything to us that day was captured in photos, and they were perfect. I would recommend them to ANYONE. Such nice people, so much fun, and they really make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera (for those like me who don’t like to be photographed). They may be a LITTLE pricier than some, but let’s be honest, for the photos that will last you forever, on the biggest day of your life, THESE are the guys you want!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED, I PROMISE!

Rick and his crew captured our memories expertly. I recently received my photos, and I love reliving the day all over again. Rick made everyone at ease and got every shot that we requested. We had 2 photographers. I could not have asked for a better team to capture our day. We cannot recommend Rick Helman highly enough.

We picked Rick for my daughters wedding and it was the right choice!!
Rick was a pleasure to work with.
My daughter had a fall wedding and most pictures were outside.
The bride and groom looked wonderful in all the pics, we will have a hard time deciding which to choose since so many were great.
You will not be disappointed choosing Rick.
Thanks for a wonderful job!!

AWESOME!!!!!!! KOOL!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!! My wife Jackie & I got married on Aug 7, 2016 at The View on the Hudson. Rick was recommended to us, as where two additional photographers. We met Rick at his home & immediately knew he was the one to capture our special day. He places you at ease with his professional & friendly demeanor, knows what the client wants & is extremely accommodating. From start to finish he works with you to capture some of the most memorable & magical shots that will eternally grace your wedding album for you & your family to enjoy. We couldn't stop smiling at how amazing he made us look. We're looking forward to framing several of his beautiful pictures to adorn our home with.
Rick uses the latest in video technology to immortalize our wedding, giving us the blessed joy of reliving our fairytale wedding in HD quality whenever our hearts desire. Rick even suggested a DJ for us, which we are still indebtedly grateful for. I highly recommend Rick Helman for all of your photographic functions....especially your wedding. I believe true love can seen & captured on camera, so why not use the very best....Thank you Rick.
