She was absolutely incredible and super professional. As she had a very positive attitude. Knew exactly what angles to take. And the best places dependent on the weather. Not to mention she was gracefully patient when she had to wait for one of our guests that was running behind for the wedding ceremony. I absolutely recommend her as she always goes above and beyond making your special day even more special. And not to mention stress free as she does all the work for the video and photos behind the scene so you can easily enjoy your special day.

Details: Wedding • Fewer than 25 guests • Indoors • Digital or online download

Hielen was very enthusiastic to help bring the vision we had for our engagement photos to life. She was especially helpful with implementing cultural celebration in our pictures. We were able to make the most of how busy it was at UW by collaborating on photo ideas and locations- her familiarity with the campus was a big help. Her energy made our first time doing a photoshoot fun and easier than we were expecting.

Details: Couples portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.
