Helen Howard Photography

I’m Helen — a specialist wedding photographer based in Lichfield, Staffordshire, with a simple aim: to create timeless, meaningful wedding photos for camera‑shy couples who’d rather enjoy their day than pose for it. With more than 18 years behind the lens and hundreds of weddings photographed, I’ve developed a gentle, empathetic approach that helps couples feel at ease and look like themselves in every image. My style is relaxed, unobtrusive and deeply rooted in storytelling. I work quietly in the background, blending in with your guests so the real, unscripted moments — the tear wiped away mid‑speech, the laugh between vows, the quiet glances — can unfold naturally. Those are the images that bring you back to how the day felt, not just how it looked. Working with me is straightforward and personal. We’ll start with a conversation about your plans, what matters to you and the people you want remembered in your photos. I offer a pre‑wedding/engagement shoot so you can experience being in front of my camera in a relaxed setting; it’s a great way to get comfortable together before the big day. On the wedding day I’ll guide gently when needed — a brief, fun moment of direction to create beautiful couple images — then return to observing and capturing emotion as it happens. My clients tell me they value the calm, friendly presence I bring; I take pride in being someone couples trust, not a stranger juggling a checklist. The images I deliver are professionally edited in my signature, timeless style and presented through a secure gallery so you can relive your day and share it with loved ones. If you love honest, heartfelt wedding photography and want someone who understands camera‑shy couples, let’s talk. I’m based in Lichfield and photograph weddings across Staffordshire and beyond — bringing a warm, experienced, and unobtrusive approach to capturing your love story. Enquire today and tell me about your plans — I’d love to hear your story.
