Specialist wedding photographer based in Dinnington. Hels offers relaxed, natural wedding photography—pre-wedding shoots, full-day coverage and gentle guidance to capture authentic, emotional moments.
Hi — I’m Hels, the face behind Helen Elizabeth Photography. Based in Dinnington, South Yorkshire, I specialise in wedding photography and have spent 10+ years telling love stories across Yorkshire and the East Midlands. My work is rooted in a relaxed, natural approach: I quietly document the real moments—laughs, tears, private glances and the chaos of the dancefloor—so when you look back at your photos you don’t just see how it looked, you feel how it felt. I became hooked on weddings early in my career and that love still drives everything I do. I’m a mum of two and I bring that calm, practical energy to every wedding I photograph. I invest time getting to know my couples, helping with timelines, supplier suggestions and pre-wedding shoots that dissolve nerves and create genuine connection. On the day I’ll offer gentle direction when it helps, and otherwise step back and let the moments unfold naturally. My photographic style sits between documentary and relaxed portraiture. I prioritise authentic emotion over forced posing, but I always carve out time for those important family and group photos you’ll want. I’m comfortable working in any setting — from rustic barns and countryside venues to city halls — and I know how to make the most of Yorkshire light, whatever the weather. Beyond weddings, I also offer family and maternity sessions with the same warm, easygoing approach. Those sessions are all about connection, playful moments and honest portraits you’ll treasure as your family grows. Choosing me as your wedding photographer means choosing someone who cares deeply about your day and the people in it. You’ll get calm professionalism, practical planning support and a gallery of professional wedding photos that tell the full story — the big moments and the small, quiet ones in between. I aim to create a relaxed atmosphere where you can be yourselves and really live in the moment. If you’re planning a wedding near Dinnington or across South Yorkshire and want relaxed, storytelling wedding photography, I’d love to hear about your day and how I can help capture it.
