the investment

white arrow_1

I want you to laugh, cry (happy tears), dance and enjoy all the little moments. I promise to not miss a beat or a single precious moment. Its my desire to archive the precious moments of your special day so that you can share them with generations to come. I want them to know what it was like to be a guest at your wedding. 

I hope to put your mind at ease on your wedding day

weddings with Helen McGee

"Helen is so full of life that you can't help but feel comfortable around her. Her pre-shoot questionnaire asked insightful questions that helped her capture the perfect moments and she took in stride all of the little mishaps that happened throughout the day. We absolutely adore our final pictures, and could not recommend her enough."

"absolutely adore"

“During the shoot, Helen made us feel totally at ease (a nontrivial feat for those who tend to be awkward in front of the camera)—she was bubbly, goofy, and most importantly, totally willing to experiment and just have a good time. The photos perfectly capture our joy, and we have already gotten so many compliments on them!"

"perfectly capture our joy"

“Helen exceeded our wildest dreams! She was totally on board with our crazy adventure photoshoot idea in Yosemite. She did an extraordinary amount of pre-shoot diligence, came up with lots of beautiful potential locations for us and helped us with everything from attire to poses. Helen's sense of humor, relatable personality, and professionalism shine through, putting us at ease and making for a wonderful day."

"exceeded our wildest dreams"
