    Beautiful portrait photographs by Xenia of our daughter's recent wedding!

    Xenia is an experienced and very accomplished portrait and wedding photographer that recently produced an exceptionally beautiful portfolio of images of our daughter's recent wedding!

    The entire group of family and friends was thrilled with Xenia's stunning photos set in a natural environment. We would unhesitatingly recommend Xenia for anyone considering having their lifetime event captured for today's generation and generations to come!

    Xenia Helix Photography's reply:

    Dear Alan,

    It is always very special to me when not only the newlyweds but also their loved ones are happy with their pictures and experience.
    You made it easy and fun to photograph you guys!

    Warmly,
    Xenia

    Great Experience!

    Xenia was great to work with. Very professional and responsive. Our favorite part during planning for the day was how she was very detail oriented, asking lots of questions about pictures and angles we might want that we didn’t even think of ourselves. Also was very flexible on the day about staying a bit later, and when we changed up some of our plans on the day she was very accommodating! Xenia’s assistant was also great to work with and helped make things much smoother as well. Would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer .

    Extremely Professional, Very Flexible and Affordable

    Initially we had Xenia take our engagement photos as a test run and after seeing the results of her work we knew immediately that we would have to use her again for our wedding day! Xenia was extremely professional, punctual and flexible throughout the whole process leading to our wedding and the results of her photos really showed the vast experience that she has as a photographer. After seeing our perfect wedding photos, we had absolutely no regrets hiring her to be our photographer!

    Wedding Reception Photographer

    Xenia was the perfect photographer to work with and gave us stunning results from our wedding reception. We were recommended Xenia by a friend and we met her over a year before our wedding reception. When we first met her on Zoom we ended up talking for nearly 2 hours about the details of our event and what we are looking for about the style and type of photos we were interested in. Since our reception was not a traditional American ceremony, it was important that we were clear what type of shots we wanted. She was very open and patient with our request and over the year we followed up through email and kept in touch.
    On the day of the ceremony, Xenia was extremely calm and professional but also moved things along smoothly. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of cameras, but she directed our movements and posed us in a very relaxing way. We received the website with our photos a few weeks later and shared them with our family. Everyone was blown away by the photos and they all captured the fun and excitement from the night. We loved every single photo and we already recommended her to more of our friends for their upcoming weddings.

    Would Recommend Xenia to Anyone Who Will Listen!

    Xenia is hands down the best photographer I've ever worked with and I'd recommend her services to anyone (whether they think they need a photographer or not!). Not only is she very skilled at the craft of capturing a photo, she takes the time to understand your vision for the day and her charisma makes it a very comfortable experience. The morning of a wedding can be quite hectic for a bride and Xenia started working through the initial photos we had prior discussed independently. After receiving the photos, I know I was right to trust Xenia in capturing the biggest day of our lives and would rehire her in a heartbeat!

    Xenia Helix Photography's reply:

    Dear Jessica & Tyler,

    Thank you so much for your kind words!
    Your wedding was truly unique, and the level of preparation was exceptional - made my work so easy. I think we were a great team and I am so happy about the results.

    Wishing you all the love on your journey!

    Sincerely,
    Xenia

    Incredible Photographer!!

    My husband and I got married in November 2021 and worked with Xenia for both our engagement and wedding photos. Long story short, we cannot recommend her enough!! Her eye for detail and getting great shots is incredible, and the proof is truly in our engagement photos and wedding photos.

    My husband and I had never worked with a professional photographer before our engagement shoot, but Xenia made us feel comfortable from the get-go. Her passion for what she does is clear as day, and she really made getting photos taken such a fun and enjoyable time during both the engagement shoot and the wedding day. Her photos showcase her creativity, and she was always looking for a unique way to capture each moment (even in some challenging evening lighting conditions!).

    Xenia also consistently puts her clients first. We feel that she went above and beyond at our wedding -- not only did she take photos herself as lead photographer, but she also coordinated with an associate photographer and videographer to make sure everyone was on the same page. Her work really helped to make our big day go smoothly.

    We are in love with the photos we got back and will definitely be reaching out to Xenia for all of our future photography needs!

    Xenia was fantastic!

    Xenia was so great! The moment we met, we hugged and I felt like I had already known her. The pictures she took of our wedding was amazing, loved every picture! I highly recommend hiring Xenia for any event.

    The best. Book her now!

    Xenia was absolutely amazing. She is so talented and passionate with her work. My husband and I are not too comfortable in front of the camera but she made us feel so at ease. She is both very friendly and professional. All our guests loved her as well. Our photos came out so beautifully!

    Xenia Helix Photography's reply:

    Dear Antoinette & Michael,

    Thank you for your compliments!

    I loved your wedding so much and how easy it was to work with you. Your family and bridal party were so nice and helpful, I am so happy I got to know all of you.

    Wishing you all the love in the world!

    Sincerely,
    Xenia

    An Absolute Dream (even for people who don't like having their photos taken)

    Xenia took our engagement and wedding photos. My husband and I had never had professional photos taken and Xenia was incredibly patient and made us feel so comfortable. We expressed that we preferred candid shots over posed/portraits and she really listened - my favorite photos were the ones she captured when I didn't even see her. Seriously, she has some sort of magic talent of capturing every perfect moment while also being unseen so we never felt like we were pulled out of the moment to pose for a photo.

    In addition to her remarkable talent, she's also just a delight to work with - her sense of humor, ability to roll with the punches, and just generally feeling like an old friend, will have us going back anytime we need professional photos.

    The best experience ever

    Xenia was wonderful and everything I could ask for in our wedding photographer. She spoke with us at length prior to the wedding and did her research in what our styles were and what type of photos we wanted. She was prompt, professional, experienced, and made us feel comfortable throughout the day. She knew our timeline but when we decided to deviate from it she was very flexible. She was already familiar with our venue and made suggestions that resulted in beautiful photos. She went above and beyond in helping us get the best photos (eg politely asking people to leave our shots, moved heavy furniture to create the best background). Throughout the whole evening she was always there when we needed her but was not at all intrusive so we were able to naturally enjoy our evening. The final photos are fabulous! Many relatives and friends couldn’t come because of the pandemic but could enjoy and appreciate the event through the photos. All in all I would absolutely recommend Xenia.

    Fantastic Experience

    Xenia is a fantastic person and photographer. My now-husband, myself, and my guests (wedding was mid-August 2021) loved her enthusiasm, creativity, professionalism, and personality. If we ever need future photos taken, they’ll definitely be with her! We would highly recommend her to anyone!

    Amazing experience and photos!

    Working with Xenia was a dream! She was so professional yet flexible. Gave us direction when we needed it but also went with the flow. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. She is amazing at what she does!

    Excellent Photographer who gives you a multitude of pictures

    Xenia was an excellent photographer who was able to capture my wedding the way I wanted. Not only did the pictures come out amazing, she gave us all the good pictures to keep and download for no extra cost. I couldn't have been happier. I had so many good pictures it was hard to choose which ones to pick when making my photo album. She was super flexible, easy to work with, and excellent at her job. I would definitely recommend if you need a photographer!

    Cherishing my COVID-19 Wedding

    My husband and I planned to have our wedding in Fall 2020, but we were forced to reschedule based on COVID-19 restrictions, to June 2021. Based on ever changing and fast breaking COVID-19 regulations, we wound up changing the venue, catering, and decorations all at the last minute (with a week to go!) Xenia remained flexible, patient, and easy to work with through it all! Our wedding logistics may not have been what we originally envisioned, but Xenia captured it in a way that would make you think everything had gone according to plan. The portraits were beautiful, the candids were absolutely precious, and she didn’t miss a moment. Xenia had a beautiful eye for detail and staged our rings and personal momentos in an artful way. She was fun to work with and with her charm had everyone smiling their best and most natural smiles. My wedding was magical and the best day of my life, and I am so happy to be able to relive every moment in Xenias pictures.

    Amazing photographer

    Xenia was very professional and wonderful to work with! She made my wife and I feel completely comfortable and at ease when working with her. My family and friends in attendance at the wedding had nothing but great things to say about her. The photos were incredible and she captured our day exactly how we hoped she would. We spoke with her before our big day to discuss details and she asked all of the important questions to make sure things ran very smoothly.

    amazing photographer!

    Xenia was an AMAZING photographer to work with! She put me and my husband at ease when taking photos and made it so fun, which is saying a lot since my husband isn't someone who loves having his picture taken. Xenia worked seamlessly with all the family members and accommodated all of our requests. And best of all she took SO many amazing photos! Xenia, thanks so much for making our special day extra special!!

    Dear Larissa and David,

    Thank you again for making me a part of this great celebration, I loved every moment of your wedding day!

    Lots of love,
    Xenia

    Amazing and fun!

    Xenia was our photographer for our engagement shoot. She has such a good eye for the best shots. She made us look like professional models! It was a really fun experience for the both of us, and the photos turned out stunning. She shares a couple sneak peeks while you wait for the finished photos which is very appreciated. Her posts on Instagram made me feel special like a true VIP. We got our beautiful digital photos in under 2 weeks. I'd give Xenia 30 stars if I could. Thank you for the awesome experience. I am looking forward to working with you again in our future!

    Thank you again for choosing me to capture your engagement pictures, those are the ones of my most favorite from the entire portfolio!

    Much love,
    Xenia

    Excellent photographer!

    We are so happy we chose Xenia to be our wedding photographer! She did an amazing job from start to finish. She obtained a list of people that we wanted photos with beforehand and squeezed everyone in a short window. We told her that our goal was to have lots of candid photos and that the natural beauty of our venue was important to us. We had our ceremony outside and it was freezing! Xenia did everything with a smile on her face. She made sure that we made it back outside for photos at sunset and was super efficient! Our wedding was the week before Thanksgiving and she was so thoughtful to reach out and send us some photos early so we could share them with our families. We had a great experience with Xenia and would definitely recommend her!

    Perfectly perfect in every way!

    Xania really made our day perfect. She was professional and efficient, and incredibly personal and kind. It felt like she was a friend I’d known for ages. We had so much fun getting our photos taken, she was fun-loving and light-hearted while being extremely professional and focused. We could not have been happier, and the photos all came out perfect!

    A magical keepsake created to remember the big day!

    Xenia over-delivered in every sense! From the choice of locations for our photoshoot, to the time management during our wedding, helping navigate portraits with all of our family and friends. We lucked out with weather for a Fall wedding, but the photographs came out even more stunning, really capturing the crisp autumn vibe and our joy. I highly recommend Xenia. Besides being an artist, Xenia is a good communicator, is on time, delivers her work promptly, and will hold your hand through any indecision and moment of worry! You can’t go wrong with this one.

    Had the best luck with our photographer

    Xenia and Caesar made our day so special! At first we didn't know what to expect. She gladly met us at a cafe in Boston and showed us her portfolio and we were immediately excited to have her take our wedding photos. The day of, she drove all over for us just taking pre-wedding photos. During our reception, Xenia and Caesar were on point and respecting that we didn't want to spend our short reception on taking photos. We had great luck with mother nature and Xenia took the most beautiful pictures that really capture who my husband and I are as a couple!

    Thank you so much Xenia!

    Wedding Photographer

    Xenia was absolutely incredible. From the moment she walked into my suite to take photos of myself and my family getting ready, she exuded confidence and poise which made all my nerves wash away. She was extremely professional and made me feel so incredibly beautiful on my special day. Her photo quality is out of this world, and she always makes sure to push the boundaries on traditional photo taking with her unique staging where she makes sure to capture all of your most precious wedding details. Additionally, she is 100% LGBTQIA+ friendly which made both my wife and I at ease throughout our wedding day. In our personal opinion and experience, it was not often as a lesbian couple that we were able to meet a vendor who celebrated our love for all that it intrinsically is. Xenia encompasses all that is good when trying to identify the best qualities in a photographer. Not to mention, two weeks after our wedding my grandmother passed away unexpectedly and without hesitation, Xenia sent over breathtaking photos she had captured throughout our reception. It is moments like these that selflessly, Xenia takes initiative to do all that she can for all her clients. It is something that I will always be grateful to her for. Needless to say, we will absolutely be using her services for all of our future photography needs and would recommend her without second thought to anyone inquiring. Xenia is hands down, the best wedding photographer you will ever invest in.

    Dear Jenyka and Danielle,
    Thank you so much for your incredible words!

    Your wedding has a special place in my heart. It was so touching, heartwarming and so beautiful! I am so grateful for all that amazing job that you did with picking planning, decorating and organizing. All the details were so thought through!
    I am terribly sorry for your loss but extremely happy that we had you grandma pictures taken on such a happy day, that is truly what makes my work important.

    I wish you all the love and happiness in the world!

    Much love,
    Xenia
