For the non-traditional and adventurous brides who love the outdoors. Specializes in Elopements. If that’s you, then I think we’d be a perfect fit

I’m a lover of intimate weddings and adventure filled elopements. I am the wedding photographer for the non-traditional bride who doesn’t mind getting her dress a little dirty trekking though nature or who wants to wed in front of mountains or beautiful scenery. I’m a lover of the outdoors, pretty light, cascading bouquets, veils, and anything with a bohemian/indie vibe. My favorite couples are the wild at heart with adventurous souls who enjoy doing everything a little bit different. I’m at my very best when you trust me to capture your unique love and give me complete freedom. All you need to do is focus on loving one another, and I promise that we’ll have a ton of fun adventuring and great images will result. My main goal is to meet genuine couples who are crazy in love and enjoy my work. I want to make memories with you and for you, so that you’ll have photographs to cherish for a lifetime.

A little Helmi’s version of Edward Hopper’s painting…. Nighthawks!!!!

Painted back in 1942, the original is known for its quiet, lonely feeling. Fun fact: there’s no visible door to get inside! I kept that detail because I liked it, although a bit ironic since it’s super easy to get into Helmi’s, but super hard to leave without a plant in hand 🤭.

What famous painting should I do next? 🎨

Someone must’ve lit the black flame candle because it appears the Sanderson Sisters have arrived at the greenhouse 🧹…

Oh wait…no one freak out, it’s just Maple, Mynx, and Mittens.

😂 I amuse myself

Listen up guys…..I’m doing my best out here and we have some tough critics 🫡👻🤣!!! We’ve been accused multiple times now of using ai for our illustrations and even some of our photography. I’m a photographer by trade….not an illustrator. I have zero formal art training and I just started drawing these little drawings in my spare time because I thought it would be fun. Are there mistakes? Probably 🤭. Howeverrrrrr, I’ve been having so much fun making these and it’s been really nice to have a new creative outlet outside of just taking photos and doing video content.

Making some art on the side 🥲🥲

Spirit Halloween really nailed the costumes this year 💀!!! We’ve never seen this one on the rack before.

*Comes with terrible tan lines, dirt under your fingernails despite wearing gloves all day, a radio that never stops going off, a social media manager bugging you to do another TikTok trend, a hose that requires a college education and a little bit of profanity to roll back up, and a customer asking you to identify a neon purple + rainbow-leaved AI generated pic.* (bonus: a completely unreasonable amount of serotonin because it’s the best job ever 👻🫶🏼)

I spent forever drawing this 🥰

Ophelia — but Helmi’s edition.
This is my little greenhouse take on Ophelia, the famous 1851/52 painting by John Everett Millais - originally depicting Shakespeare’s Ophelia floating among the flowers just before her death in Hamlet. Our version is considerably less tragic - mostly just plants and a cute cat 🐈! This is now part of a famous artwork series I’ve been working on….lmk if you like em’ 🧡!
