// WHAT TO EXPECT?

There's a lot to plan, I know...

Welcome to a journey where every moment is a story waiting to be told, and every frame captures the essence of your special day. From our very first meeting, working with me is about having a photography experience built on connection and trust.

Whether you’re planning one year in advance or decided to have a photographer a few months before the wedding, one thing is certain, you can expect my full dedication.

The process begins with a personal consultation, a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss your vision for the day. I bring my years of experience to the table by guiding you through every facet of your wedding journey with clarity and knowledge .

Photographing a wedding, to me, is like writing a book with photos. I am dedicated to creating a collection of images that will transport you back to the magic of your wedding day, every time you revisit them.

That’s the real photography experience!

Let’s embark on this journey together… A journey where your love story is told through the lens and every image marks this new chapter in the book of your life.

// OTHER QUESTIONS

1) How early should we book?

As soon as you possibly can. Summer months are usually very busy and some dates are more sought after than others, so dates get booked quickly. As I’m only taking a limited number of weddings per year, I want to make sure I give my couples all the attention and care they deserve. Like I said, it’s all about having a photography experience built on connection and passion.

2) How do we book you?

It’s easier than you’d think. After asking for a quotation, we schedule a meeting and make sure we’re the perfect fit. Then, I’ll send you a contract and we’ll walk together towards your big day.

3) Can you give us vendor recommendations?

I sure can!

I know so many people in the industry, Just tell me what you’re looking for and I’ll point you in the right direction.

I ONLY TAKE A LIMITED NUMBER OF WEDDINGS EACH YEAR

Helena is an exceptional photographer but beyond her talent, she is above all a human and caring person who pays attention to details and always wants to create an atmosphere conducive to quality photos. Concerning the photos taken on the spot, they are taken with original angles and give the impression that the photos would have been taken by guests.❣️Thank you again for your patience, your kindness and your hard work and everything beautiful.

Where to begin!? Working with Helena was simply the best! From our first meeting, she made my husband and I feel excited, comfortable, and informed about her process! She worked with us to confirm our timeline for wedding day and was so calm and reassuring leading up to the big day. I will forever be grateful to Helena for how beautifully she captured our wedding day. From our time getting ready, to dancing at the reception, and ALL of the tiny moments in between that made up such an amazing day - she captured all our favorite moments so perfectly. Helena is an amazing person and photographer who enjoys learning about couples and telling their love stories through photography! I cannot recommend her enough and would give even more stars if I could!

Megan + Lourenço

We cannot recommend Helena enough as a wedding photographer! From the very start, she provided invaluable advice that helped our day flow seamlessly. Her professionalism and attention to detail made a significant difference in our planning process. On the day itself, Helena was a calming presence, capturing authentic moments that truly reflected the joy and love shared between us and our family and friends. The photos are stunning and perfectly showcase our wedding here in Portugal, blending the beauty of the location with the emotions of the day. Our guests, both from Portugal and the United States, were equally impressed by her ability to capture candid moments that we will cherish forever. Thank you, Helena, for giving us such a beautiful visual story of our special day!
