Hey! I'm Helen
"Just your average weirdo!"
​
(As described by my wonderful loving husband... cheers knobhead!)

I am...
​
Thirty something.
​
A proud Hufflepuff.
​
Norfolk & Essex based.
​
Impractically tall for a woman.
​
A soppy romantic.
​
Disney obsessive.
(I wanted to visit all 6 parks before I was 30 but I only crossed off 3! So I named my wedding packages after the park locations instead!)
​
A broke globetrotter.
(The constant battle with saving (/adulting) versus spending all my money on adventures. )
I enjoy...
​
Starting books and never finishing them.
(Currently, The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon)
​
Late night impulsive eBay & Etsy purchases.
​
A cold glass of milk.
(or a fruity gin with lemonade if it's been a long day!)
​
Cars.
(Preferably Mini but one of my life goals is to own and restore a Triumph Stag!)
​
Chocolate chip shortbread biscuits.
(In copious amounts, probably the whole packet if it's left in my presence for too long.)
​
Film cameras.
(Collecting, fixing and using. My other half calls it hoarding...!?)
​
Bootsales.
(Buying other peoples junk and thinking it's treasure. See above!)
​
Early 00's pop punk and country music.
(Busted and Lady A in particular.)
​
Cooing and petting dogs that aren't mine.
(One day, I'll be a crazy dog lady with my own pack of labradors. All with old man names, obviously!)
​
Chinese takeaway
(Again, in copious amounts!)
​
Writing endless lists.
(See above!)

Less about me, more about my photography.
*insert standard photographer's cliche about photography always being my passion since being a kid*
Unfortunately, it’s true! Blame my Dad!!
See the classic but adorable 1990's parents and teeny tiny me...
​
Won my first photography competition in Brownies when I was only 7
(Landscape shot of the Lake District and a portrait of my hamster Rupert, if you really wanted to know!)
​
I still pinch myself that this is my "job".
I get to drop into a couples happiest day of their lives, document it (probably have a little cry behind my camera when they say their vows) and eat copious amounts of wedding cake... I'm literally living the dream!

My love story...​
​
This is Lee.
(He's a knobhead, but he's my knobhead.)
If you meet me at a wedding show you'll most likely meet him too.
(Or occasionally walking through the back of a zoom call or being forced to go on my instagram stories.)
​
He got asked at the last show if he was a wedding stylist and hasn't shut up about it since...!
​
He does make a cracking cup of tea though!
(And is basically my biggest cheerleader and supporter. I wouldn't know what I would do without him but don't tell him that.)
​
The first time he met me I had a broken leg at the Year 6 secondary school warm up day.
(The next time he met me in Year 7 he was shocked that I could walk...!)
​
He is basically David Rose from Schitt's Creek.
(I wish I was joking! We binge watched the whole thing and I repeatedly waved and wildly gestured with raised eyebrows through every single episode whenever David did or said anything...)
