Hi, I'm Helen. Nice to virtually meet you!
I'm a photographer based in Co.Down, Northern Ireland.
I lived in London for 10 years and love hopping back there for events, intimate weddings and headshots.
Since moving back to Ireland, you'll pretty much always find me at the beach, in a forest park or up the Mournes in my free time. Adventure and seeking the wild is my top hobby.
Looking forward to getting more connected within Ireland. If you have a wedding, or event coming up, get in touch!
I'll be Smiling 95% of the time behind the camera. Maybe squinting with a concentration tongue sticking out The rest of the time.
Photographs are my most valued possession. Since I held my first disposable camera, I've always been driven by an obsession to document little details, fleeting moments to try and keep them alive, and to share with others.
Photography is my purpose and passion. I'm driven by the desire to create the most beautiful photographs, for you to love, capturing the moments you want to keep forever.
The story of a photographer
I love photographing couples who are kindred spirits, adventurous souls who know who they are and make their rules. Couples whose focus is happiness, their family, friends, celebrating their love and commitment to each other however they see best. Couples whose focus is on having a special and meaningful day, intentionally designed for them. Your wedding, your way, disregarding convention and free to celebrate your unique love story how you imagine it. Free spirits, I'm here for you!
I support marriage equality. Love is love and it is an honour for me to photograph yours.
My favourite thing is documenting people in love. helping you feel relaxed and beautiful, to have fun, be real and get caught up in each other. My job is to help you forget about my camera and any self-consciousness you may feel, making any 'camera-induced-awkwardsness' disappear. This allows me to take photos that are authentic, emotional and alive. Photographs that are a real reflection of who you are and how you felt for each other. This is what makes me excited every time I pick up my camera. I want to create natural and timeless images that can be relived and enjoyed for years to come.
I'm here to serve couples who value beautiful photographs that are taken with intention. When I pick up my camera, the photos taken won't be ticking off a generic shot list. Together we'll talk through your adventure session, wedding day, or family session, and anticipate the moments that you're most excited about and envisage the photographs you want to hang on your walls.
Photographs that are real, emotional and alive.
If this connects with you, I want to hear from you and tell your story! Reach out now and let's get one step closer to photos that give you all the feels: helen@thisisus.photography
