Hi, I’m Helen. As a wedding photographer, my ethos is all about reconnecting with nature, capturing honest moments, and staying fully present with the people and stories that matter most.

I’m drawn to weddings that feel grounded and intentional; celebrations surrounded by nature, good food, and people you love.

My journey into photography started when my Grandad gifted me his 35mm film camera at age 14.

After earning a degree in photography over 10 years ago, I have worked in the photo and video industry on a range of projects from adventure sports to glacier weddings, refining my skills and developing a keen eye for detail.

Outside of weddings, you’ll find me filmmaking, sea dipping, freediving, Thai boxing, cooking something spicy, snowboarding, or walking my sprocker spaniel, Mango, along the Essex coast!

There is so much beauty in every couple and their unique story. I capture the big moments, but also the intricate details and candid exchanges that make your relationship special.
