Wedding Photographer Reviews

Helen was our photographer at our 'late in life' wedding recently. You feel her enthusiasm when you first meet her. She produced a fantastic gallery of photographs that really document that special time for us. They were everything we could have hoped for, spontaneous, varied and full of surprises. She is clever and imaginative in getting the best from everybody attending. If she is available for your event don't hesitate.

I met Helen at a wedding fayre held at Ware Priory, which just happened to be the venue for our wedding. Helen has a great personality, always has a smile on hand, easy to talk to, engaging, listens well and is keen to put forward her ideas. We were both so pleased with how she carried out her work. Once we had agreed to have Helen as our wedding day photographer, she was quick to arrange a follow up meeting (which was carried out via Zoom as we live outside of the UK). Using her brochure she ran through the different packages available, offered advice on timings, where we would take photos at the venue and what her role would entail during the day. In the months and then weeks before, Helen continued to keep in touch vial email, which included a couple of online forms to help her understand more about us and which group photos would be required. It is clear that Helen has wealth of experience when it comes to these type of events and this was invaluable throughout the whole process. She was very well organised, knew what shots she wanted to capture and even though we didn't have the greatest weather, using her lighting equipment and her trusted assistant, managed to get some great photos. The whole day was a roaring success and only made possible by the good work carried out by all the suppliers of which Helen was an essential part. 5 stars for Helen Weir Photography

It was amazing working with Helen! I am not someone who feels confident in front of a camera and Helen made me feel so at ease. She is so friendly and a pleasure to be around. The quality of her photos are amazing. Thank you Helen for our beautiful photos!

Helen has been so easy to work with in the build up to our wedding. At our engagement shoot, she listened to us on exactly what we wanted but guided us where necessary. She provided the photos within a few days and they are super easy to download or buy.

Wonderful Helen photographed our daughter’s wedding and this is what our daughter says about Helen…. Helen was an absolute treasure to find to be our wedding photographer back in May. Once the wedding day itself is over all you have is photos of those special moments to looks back on and Helen captured every single moment so beautifully. She was a pleasure to work with and made us feel relaxed in front of the camera. She was super flexible too letting us make decisions on the day depending on whether we wanted to spend time partying or to slip out for a nighttime shoot. After the wedding we received a teaser few photos which blew us away and we didn't have to wait long to receive the rest of them. Hardest part of the whole process was selecting photos for our album when we loved them all so much! Helen was so personable and easy to talk to, even taking the time to hand deliver our album was so lovely. Our family and friends were also able to create their own albums and prints that they wanted. Overall, we couldn't recommend Helen enough and feel so lucky to have her part of our special day, what a great find she is!

Helen was wonderful to work with - a lovely person and expert photographer. Very happy with her service for our wedding, would 100% recommend.

Absolutely delighted with our wedding photos. Helen was a pleasure to work with. She was friendly, enthusiastic and engaged throughout our first meeting on zoom; asked all of the right questions ensuring we got exactly what we wanted. On our wedding day most of our guests commented on how quick and unobtrusive she had been; she has a playful but very professional style. She captured beautiful images of us in the garden and within Place House Hall. She also captured many of the delighted, intimate and relaxed moments between us and our guests. We received more than 250 images and had difficulty choosing our favourites. She is very good at what she does.

I am lucky to be in the wedding industry myself as a celebrant, so come across photographers often, and all of them are always lovely. I first met Helen at a wedding fair, long before I’d even met my now husband, and was taken by her approachable, friendly manner, and over the course of the day discussed styles and weddings, and was extremely impressed by her knowledge, her professional approach to her business, and the many beautiful romantic pictures she had taken over the years. Our paths crossed multiple times in those years that followed, I saw numerous weddings she had shot on social media and had the opportunity to work with her a few times, which was always a pleasure. She also has a lovely reputation with other suppliers, vendors and venues in and around Herts. So forward to my own engagement, there was never any doubt who I was going to book, although I don’t think I ever told her this, but when we did get engaged, we quickly reached out to Helen to make sure she would be available. It’s quite strange being the bride when you have been the celebrant, and what I quickly learnt was I’m far more laid back (and unorganised) when it comes to my own wedding. Helen kept our timeline on track with meetings, timelines and day planning, but matching my laid-back attitudes. She was in regular contact, but in a friendly way, face to face meetings were at home or somewhere relaxed over a coffee. When the big day arrived, she arrived on time, armed with a bottle of fizz, with a smile and her calm, cheerful, bubbly self. I can’t say I’m a natural at having my photo taken, but she had a lovely way about her, and within a few moments of set up, she drifted around the room, hardly knowing she was there at moments. In others, I spotted her in various poses of her own as she tried to get the very best shot which did make me smile. She chatted easily with other members of the family and other suppliers who all thought she was lovely. When it came to my turn to pose, it was fun, creative and full of moments of laughter. Most important for me, not excessive. She captured the most beautiful images first, maybe second shot. Which is exactly what I wanted (and needed for my neurodivergent brain) And the rest of the day continued in much this style, she blended in as a friend, but captured every single beautiful moment we wanted, from kisses, laughter, tears, hugs, friends and my favourite, the moment our son saw the limo that was going to whisk us to the theatre in London. Helen exceeded our expectations by not only delivering breathtaking images, but making the whole experience from booking, the day, the swift delivery of photos, to this, the moment I get to tell you all about how amazing she is, just exactly how we all imagine working with a photographer to be. She really is a special lady, she genuinely cares about your day, and worked tirelessly to ensure ours was as we wanted and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any couple looking for a talented, personable, romantic and simply awesome wedding photographer.

Helen was fantastic! She made me and my whole family feel so comfortable producing some incredible photos, making us all look fantastic and so natural! If you are thinking of a photographer, I wouldn't think of anyone else other than Helen. will definitely be recommending her to friends and definitely would use her again!

We would thoroughly recommend Helen Weir photography she made us feel very comfortable and listened to what we wanted. She had some great ideas and her creativity was amazing. Helen made everyone very relaxed and as ease and I think this shows in our photos. we went to a wedding fair and met several photographers, but upon speaking to Helen we just felt a connection and that carried through onto our wedding day.

Helen was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, with all her industry knowledge she was able to give us some much needed direction resulting in some absolutely amazing photos. Helen really provided us with a personal experience and felt more like a friend than our photographer! I honestly could not recommend Helen enough, she was professional, friendly, kind and generally a very interesting and talented person.

Helen is amazing, from start to finish she was exceptional and a joy to "work" with. Everything was just so easy. Her photography is second to none and the photographs she took are stunning. I could not recommend her highly enough and she worked amazingly with the hugely talented and easy going David at Lovemedoweddings. They are both extremely talented, easy going, super professional people.

We booked Helen on the spot after meeting her at a wedding show, and she did not disappoint. Her communication with us on the lead up to the wedding was amazing. She even sent extremely helpful hints and tips as we prepared for the big day. On the day Helen was superb, she knew exactly what to do and when to do it. Her intuition on when to swoop in and get the perfect shot is absolutely priceless. We couldn’t be more grateful to Helen and second photographer Paul for their incredible positivity, professionalism and commitment to our day. 100% would recommend

Excellent photography which captured our wedding day to perfection. I appreciated how personable Helen was and the guidance she gave and patience. She is an excellent photographer who captured our Engagement and Wedding day to perfection. I loved every single wedding pictures that I found it incredibly difficult deciding the pictures and the number of pictures I wanted in our wedding album. I would highly recommend Helen's services. 5* service.

We met Helen at a wedding fair, we knew straight away that we wanted her to document our wedding day. She is so bubbly and friendly. We needed someone who we could trust and have a laugh with and Helen was like a friend on the day. We have only seen a few sneak peak photos so far, but they are amazing! Our wedding day was perfect and I am so glad Helen was able to work with us! Thank you Helen!!!

Helen was the most loveliest person to have at Lodge Farm House for Liz & Daryl’s wedding. I work along side photographers a lot being the event manager & Helen was so kind and caring. I really hope I get to work with her again one day as it was an absolute pleasure!

Our wedding was a small and intimate one, surrounded by family and only a handful of friends. Thus, I was very apprehensive about inviting a stranger to capture those intimate moments. Upon meeting Helen, and within the first few minutes of chatting, all my worries, fears and anxiety disappeared. It was like we have been friends all our lives. From the planning on our first meet, going through everything we wanted or hoped for, to the actual special day. We felt like we were in good hands, and we were. Professional isn't enough to describe Helen's amazing work.

Helen and I have been following each other for a while on Instagram but actually never met until recently at a wedding at Brocket hall where I was the florist , we both recognised each other and said how nice at long last it was to work together, I felt like I’d know Helen for ages even tho it was our first actual face to face , she is so down to earth and easy to be around ideal for a wedding photographer and I knew we would get along , today I received the wedding images not always an easy thing to get and I must say they didn’t disappoint , thankyou Helen for being a joy to work with and we still need to catch up for that coffee 💕

Helen made us both feel so comfortable from the first minute of our first meeting. She was enthusiastic, calm and reassuring when we were stressed and nervous and made everyone feel special on the day. Helen's attention to detail was fantastic; she thought of everything so we didn't have to and her advice prior to the wedding and on the day was invaluable. She listened to us and delivered some brilliant photos of memories that will last a lifetime. Not only is she a fabulous photographer, she evidently loves her job! We would highly recommend Helen for wedding photography or for any special occasion or event.

I was a 56 year old bride to be who hated having her photo taken and if I could of got a stand in I would. The first email from Helen was so personal and she clearly understood my anxieties. She came to our home in person with pictures and albums and to get to know us. She suggested a visit to the wedding venue to get a feel for where she thought good pictures could be taken and whether we wanted particular arears to have pictures taken. We discussed and looked at arears inside and outside of the venue with UK weather being unpredictable. We booked Helen a year before our wedding which was on 14 April 2022 and within that year she kept in regular contact and by the time the day came along she was a friend which made me feel so comfortable when it came to her taking the pictures on the day and i can truly say i enjoyed every minute as did my now husband and the pictures spoke for themselves. Helen Weir will capture you and your wedding party making you feel and look a million dollars and i can not thank her enough Tracy and Mark Gibson
