second shooting.

hello.this is me, helen.

thank you of taking the time to check out my work.

I created this page to help give you the information you need to see if I would be a good match to second shoot for you and your clients.

the deets.

  • I have over a 3 years of second shooting experience now and have worked with some incredible photographers in this time such as Jo Greenfield, Fraser McGee and Rebecca Rees.

    In this time I have built up some great experience and consider myself a confident second shooter who can rock up and just get the job done so that you can relax and focus on your main shots.

    There are times when plans go south and things go wrong so having a second shooter who has their own weddings means that I can confidently jump in and take over if there are any emergencies such equipment failure, family or medical emergencies.

  • I shoot Nikon Z Series Mirrorless with all native Z lenses

    Body 1 - Nikon Z6

    Body 2 - Nikon Z7ii

    Lenses

    Nikon Z 35mm 1.8

    Nikon Z 50mm 1.8

    Nikon Z 85mm 1.8

    Nikon Z 50mm 2.8 MACRO

    Nikon Z 24-70 2.8

    Nikon Z 70 - 200 2.8

    Note - I bought the Zoom lenses after having back surgery and I now tend to use them the most. Because they are are all the Native Z range, they are incredible but I do always have my primes to hand too.

  • β€œ Helen has second shot for me on a number of occasions now, she’s definitely my go to person when my client requests a second photographer!

    On the run up to a wedding, she shows a keen interest and is fully invested in the client. Ensuring she has all of the details needed to ensure the wedding runs smoothly.

    Helen is friendly and welcoming, forthcoming and organised.

    She can be relied on to get the job done with ease and is very creative.

    Feedback from my couples has been that they’ve been really happy with the way Helen conducted herself and with the photos she had contributed.

    I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Helen to accompany me again at a wedding, in fact, she’s been an asset to shoot alongside. β€œ

  • I really enjoy meeting and working with other photographers because it can be lonely profession at time as a one man band and I enjoy travelling and working in venues that are outside of my typical catch catchment zone.

  • I shoot in manual mode.

    I shoot with a range of methods and produce a real variety of styles of shots. I enjoy dark and moody set up and playing with light as well as intention blur. I would say I have a creative editorial edge but I ask to look at my Photographers work so that I can adapt to keep your gallery consistent.

    I have a documentary styled approach to my own weddings with a huge attention to the details (they are my favourite.

    As a second I am often asked to do groom prep and then really focus on the guests and capture their reactions and heartfelt moments through out the day. If there are children the wedding I will also focus on them too.

    However I am very adaptable and can work within your preferences for the day.
