Helen Lisk Photography Full Description
I’m Helen Lisk, a photographer based in in the South West and I have been photographing weddings full time for over six years. Creating beautiful images for people is something that I absolutely love doing and weddings are such a perfect opportunity to do this.  Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and everyone deserves to have a really wonderful set of images to hold those memories. Photographs that don't just show how things looked, but really capture the essence of the day. Really great images of the important people and the interactions between them, the laughter, the fun, the tears. Natural and genuine shots of you as a couple together, just being yourselves, captured in the most beautiful way, together on your wedding day. Images that you can look back on for years to come and remember how things felt at the time.  If you are looking for relaxed and genuine photography that you hardly notice happening, that reflects things as you actually remember them, and that provides you with a truly beautiful record of your wedding day, then let’s have a chat about your plans. I’d really love to hear from you!

Helen's photos are everything you would want your wedding photos to be, with Helen providing the best service, ever. She was friendly, helpful and professional from the start and this has continued, providing insightful guidance as and when needed. Helen was, and is, always on hand to answer questions, including from the guests on the day! Of all the comments we have had from guests it is obvious that choosing Helen as our photographer was one of our best decisions. Thank you SO much Helen x

Helen has provided us with a personal service that was way beyond anything we had hailed for from a wedding photographer. The time she took to meet us and understand our preferences before our wedding day meant that her photography onday went seamlessly. All of our guests commented on her friendly approach and that she worked tirelessly the whole day without being obtrusive in any way. This show in the amazing naturalphotos she has produced as a result capturing our day perfectly.

Helen is AMAZING...

Helen is AMAZING! We met on Skype before the wedding and Helen sent us some very comprehensive questionnaire to fill before our chat so she had a really good idea of who were were (family etc) and what we wanted. On the day it POURED with rain! Helen was constantly in good humour, she had excellent 'Plan B' ideas for where to take pictures and she was incredible at capturing people laughing! The wedding pictures are outstanding - natural, fun and creative. A unique memory of an incredible day.

From the first moment we made contact with Helen to this present day (and hopefully beyond) Helen has not been our wedding photographer" she has been a friend who took our wedding photos. When she requested a skype conversation when we first made contact I was a little skeptical (not being a Skype user) but within seconds it felt like I had known her for years. I would without a miliseconds hesitation recommend Helen to anyone and wish her every success in the future."

Helen is an amazing photographer. In previous years she has taken family photos for us and we had only 1 person in mind for our wedding shots. Helen spent time with us getting to know ideas we had for our pictures plus gave great options for others. The preplanning work was well organised and made it easy for us to understand how it be on the day. Helen visited the venue prior to the big day. Our photos are better than we could have wishes for and many friends have tried to book Helen for photo

Loved Loved LOVED Helen as our photographer. We felt she knew us personally and was like a friend! We felt totally comfortable from the second we started our first Skype call and chose Helen because of this, and because we knew we would be excited to receive our photos back from her. During the wedding we felt so comfortable being photographed and directed by her and guests commented both on how discreet she was, and how unique and beautiful our wedding photos are. We'd use again in a flash!

We were absolutely thrilled with the service we received from Helen Lisk and love every single one of our photos. Helen was professional and personable on the day and had taken the time to get to know us as a couple prior to the wedding and to find out what was important to us - organising 15+ plus tipsy marines into photos on the day was no struggle for Helen! She was sensitive and tactful with some difficult family dynamics and made everyone feel at ease. She was a great hit with guests!

Helen has a wonderfully relaxed but professisonal style both in her photography and as a person. She was a pleasure to have at our wedding and was genuinely happy and excited to be there capturing the day for us. She worked so incredibly hard throughout the day, even climbing to the top of a large hill during a rainstorm to take some amazing shots. She was discreet, selecting well timed moments to take us away for couple shots, noticing when the light and weather was at its best.

We have a very special last minute arrangement for our weeding,everything booked within two weeks! It was a mini weeding with two of us and our two dogs as pageboys. I found Helen via internet search and left her a message about our plan. She replied and we all liked the idea of having a small private wedding with two dogs in the castle and she also arranged an additional session for photo shooting in Dartmoor. We had a great day and Balto and Shadow were so happy and proud!

Helen was a joy to work with before, during and after our wedding. On the day, she somehow managed to be everywhere at once, but totally unobtrusive. Her photographs tell the story of the day and looking at them brings back what we felt at each point, from nerves to relief to joy and laughter. For group shots, she was great at organising guests without haranguing them! After the wedding she made a wonderful slideshow and surprised us with some beautiful mounted prints as a gift.

FAQs

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Creative, natural, real, inventive, unique!

What about your business are you most proud of?

I am very proud of the great relationships I've created with my clients.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Please take time to make sure you get this decision right – start looking early and avoid making a last minute panic booking. Photographers get booked up very far in advance, so make sure you leave yourselves plenty of time. Look at lots of photographers, make sure you see full weddings from start to finish, and go with the one who really wows you with their images but also feels like someone that you will be comfortable with. Above all, go with your heart and choose the photographer who feels right for you.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

My main aim is to present the real story of your wedding, to show the genuine emotions and moments that occur. I will mostly photograph your day in a reportage style, capturing what is actually happening and providing a record of the real elements of the day. I will also include some portraits of you as a couple, which will involve more direction, and I am happy to carry out some formal groups as necessary.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I will usually arrange to meet up with you both and have a chat through your photography requirements and wedding details – I love to hear about everything you are planning! If you live a long way away it may be more convenient to do this via Skype or FaceTime, or we can chat over the phone if you'd prefer. This is a really good opportunity to talk about what you would like to include in your photography, and any particular requests you may have. We can then also schedule your engagement photo session if you are having one. I am always happy to answer queries at any point, and I will always get in touch during the week before your wedding, just to have a final chat before the big day.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

The photos with the people that matter to you. These don't have to be posed or interrupt your day, but make sure you have a selection of images that help you remember all those important people that shared your day with you, and so that you can see how much your day meant to them. A good photographer will always do this for you.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

I will always discuss bad weather plans with you before the wedding, so that we all know what plan B is! But I also enjoy working with the weather, and if you don’t mind being a little adventurous, the light just after the rain can look really stunning! Even sheltering in a torrential downpour has tremendous romantic potential. I carry white and ivory wedding umbrellas, old throws to cover muddy ground and protect your dress, a range of professional lighting options, and basically refuse to be beaten by the British weather! But I absolutely promise not to force you outside if you'd rather stay in. When we had record rainfall during this wedding, we just found some fantastic indoor locations for the photos instead.
