Hi,
I am Helen, I am bubbly, creative, and very easy to get along with. An artist with a rock’n’roll soul. Obsessed with beautiful light, real raw emotion & fun adventurous love stories.
“All the guests mentioned how lovely you were, it was an absolute joy to have you there! Thanks for making the whole process beforehand super easy too - we really enjoy drinking gin with you and hope to stay in touch :)”
I can't remember a time when I wasn't inspired to make beautiful images. I picked up my first camera as a child and have been shooting pictures ever since. I am so incredibly privileged to be able to do what I do, and I am absolutely in love with my job.
I called my company Gin Fizz Photographic as I wanted something that reminded me of my Grandparents, who were married in 1937, and were so important to me; theirs was a most beautiful love story indeed. I also wanted a name that had a feeling of celebration, happiness, and sunshine. And who doesn’t love a gin fizz!
“Thank you so much for everything you did at the wedding. You made so many people laugh. Everyone loved you. Rosie and I cannot wait to see the photos and would love to see you again for a G&T.”
“Helloha, just to say those photos rock, wow! You are so frickin talented!! We have all agreed you are the photographic don, big love xxxx”
I adore the ocean. I grew up in a seaside town, my Grandad taught me to swim before I could walk, and the Welsh coast is still my happy place. I love sunshine, (I have mentioned sunshine already, but I really do love beautiful light, and sunny days). I also really like walks in the park, love and laughter, art, food, friends, wonderful old black-and-white films, craft beer, cocktails, and all things vintage.
I truly believe we get one chance at life and should absolutely make the most of every day. Why not drink champagne and dance on the tables?
When I am not working or traveling, which is another great passion of mine; then you will most likely find me dancing, either in London or further afield, as I am an avid Swing dancer. I love Swing as much for the music as for the dancing, and the clothes are absolutely gorgeous.
“They. Look. AMAZING!! Can you just follow us around for life?!”
When I am not snapping fantastic nuptials I work as a documentary photographer and photojournalist, covering stories in India, Afghanistan, and Kashmir, as well as the UK. I have exhibited work in a number of photo festivals and galleries around the world, and have been published in various newspapers and magazines. I am represented by Agency Le Pictorium.
