Highly recommend!

Helen is a wonderful photographer. We chose her because her edits are pretty true to color, and her pricing was competitive for the area. She is so kind, calm, flexible, and patient- our wedding day was chaotic, so we really appreciated how she put us at ease. She captured fantastic candids, which is our favorite kind of photo. She got the pictures back to us in under a week and had extra video footage etc too, and has been very kind and responsive in all our communication. Thanks Helen, you’re a gem!

Everything you want in a wedding photographer!

Helen did an incredible job capturing every moment of our wedding. She traveled to Raleigh to photograph our wedding after Christmas last year. Helen was able to organize our large family and get all of the family photos we wanted in an efficient way so that we were able to enjoy the reception. I am so thankful that we chose Helen to photograph our wedding. We love all of our photos!

Hire Helen!!

Helen is an absolute joy to work with! From the moment we met her during our engagement session we felt as if we had known her for years; she made us so comfortable and kept us laughing naturally in front of the camera. We knew she would make our wedding day just as special, and it certainly was. Helen’s positivity and joy for life, and especially love, radiate to those around her. The moments she captured of our loved ones celebrating with us in that magical secret garden are simply stunning. Friends over the years have mentioned never utilizing their wedding photos. Rest assured her work will be hanging on our walls for all to see! We hope to have more exciting life moments she can capture for us in the near future! Thank you Helen, for making the day fun and lending your talent to us so that we can reminisce about October 17th, 2020 for the rest of our lives through your beautiful photos.

Wedding Photographer

Helen was an absolute delight! She made us feel so comfortable and managed our extremely large wedding party so well! Communication was top notch and she was a wealth of information in helping plan all aspects of our day. We can’t thank Helen enough for helping to make our wedding day perfect for us!

The BEST wedding photographer

I LOVE my wedding photos! Helen was so wonderful to work with, she was with us while we got ready and felt like a family member. She is professional, easy to communicate with (a plus when dealing with lots of family!), and gave me everything I wanted and more. I cherish my photos and recommend her to all my friends, in fact she ended up doing my sister-in-laws wedding because my SIL loved her work from my wedding so much. You will not regret using Helen, it will be the best decision you make aside from marrying the love of your life :)

Exceptional

Helen is without a doubt a crucial part to any bride and grooms wedding experience. She is organized, professional, experienced, personable, fun, and is able to capture every single perfect moment without even realizing she’s there. She’s more than reasonably priced, although after working with her and seeing pictures from engagement, rehearsal, wedding, etc I would’ve paid a million dollars to have her!!

PERFECT! Helen was the best wedding photographer I could have imagined.

Helen went above and beyond as a wedding photographer. From arriving early, to doing the funky chicken to get smiles from the kids, she nailed every aspect. My husband and I will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives and I’m officially hanging wedding photos all over my house 🤷🏻‍♀️

Amazing and Talented Photographer!

Helen is so amazing! She photographed my brother's wedding and I when my wedding date was set, she was the first vendor I reached out to. She is wonderful to work with, easygoing and understands the importance of the moments of a special day - not just getting photos taken.

Everything and more!

My fiance (at the time) and I decided to go ahead and elope super last minute. When contacting Helen she worked with our short notice, provided a package to fit our budget, and even included engagement pictures for us which we did not plan to have based on our budget or time!
Everything about Helen was phenomenal, the quality, meeting such an amazing person, and the timely turn around for her work!
Oh and she was completely patient with our wild 18 month old who just wasn't feeling the heat, crowd, or pictures!
If you're looking for a photographer to capture every moment you ever imagined then some, on YOUR special day, Helen is your girl!!!

Thank you so much for everything Helen xoxo,
The Ogburn family
