    Timeless and Romantic

    Hope was wonderful to work with! She made you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and captured timeless moments that we will have and cherish forever. She made sure to pull me away to get those photos I knew I would want to have gotten. Her photos capture the romantic elements of our day and I couldn't have asked for more!

    Hope is amazing!

    We could not recommend Hope Helmuth Photography more!

    Hope's pictures speak for themselves - they are simply amazing and our wedding gallery was everything we could have asked for. Only a few short days after our wedding, Hope provided us with a sneak peak of 40+ photos - we were not expecting to get a preview so soon after the wedding and it was the BEST surprise. We were also able to order and mail out Thank You cards quicker using photos from the sneak peak.

    While it is easy to see how beautiful and artistic Hope's photos are from her portfolio, it was Hope's communication and kindness that makes her and her team one of our best vendor choices. For our engagement shoot, Hope helped us find the best spot for photos and used this time to get to know us and our style. The entire process was seamless end to end.

    When it came to our wedding day, Hope helped us complete our day-of timeline and had a check-in call with us to make sure she had a list of all of the family/friend photos we wanted to have. Hope and her team did an amazing job making sure we had photos with all of the people we wanted, on top of amazing candid photos. After the wedding, multiple told us how much they loved our photographer!

    Wedding planning can be difficult and stressful, but working with Hope made everything easier and never caused any additional stress.

    Hope's team combines amazing photographs with amazing communication and assistance. All of our photos were received within 2 months and we loved every single one! I would not hesitate to book with her!

    Truly amazing!

    Hope was fantastic from start to finish. I got married on 7.9 at The Hamilton Manor but she also photographed my rehearsal dinner! We received all of our edited photos (over 1300!) a few days ago. The turnaround time is incredible. She’s incredibly helpful, her editing is spectacular, and the photos turned out phenomenally! I’m obsessed with how everything turned out and I cannot recommend her enough!

    Romantic, quality, gorgeous!

    Hope and her team are so incredibly talented. Our wedding pictures came out PERFECT; we look like we're in a magazine! Hope was an absolute joy to work with - she is so organized, helpful, and sweet - she clearly loves what she does and it shows in her work. We couldn't be happier with how our photos came out - our day was captured so beautifully and we are so lucky we chose Hope and team, we'll cherish these pictures forever. 10/10 would recommend Hope Helmuth Photography!

    pure magic

    This is supposed to be a review, but it might turn into a love letter. We hired Hope for our wedding back in January before we ended up having to postpone. Thankfully, Hope was able to move her contract with us to our new date. Then we decided we still wanted to be legally married in January in addition to our big postponed party in December. Thank goodness we were able to have Hope shoot both weddings. 
I don’t know how to be chill about this: HOPE IS IT. She is talented beyond measure, kind and sweet as can be, and incredibly fun to work with. As soon as I found her website, I knew I had to book her. She was the very first vendor we booked, and she’s been on this long multi-wedding journey with us, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. She and her whole team have so much experience, boundless creativity and artistry, and they LOVE what they do. That’s the best part. It is so clear that Hope loves Love, and loves capturing it and showcasing it at its most beautiful and magical moments. That’s the word for Hope - Magic. Book her, and then be prepared to weep with joy when you see how well she captures your blissful magical day. And for everyone to talk about how amazing your photos are, constantly. Truly, and without a bit of hesitation, we recommend Hope 100% times infinity. Love you Hope!

    Best experience ever!

    I cannot express how much I enjoyed working with Hope. She was so kind, efficient, and an absolute pleasure to work with! She brought such a positive energy to the day and made my husband and I feel so comfortable and at ease. My experience with her was more than I could have ever dreamed of. She captured the day so beautifully and I will be forever grateful! I will be looking at our wedding photos the rest of my life and I know that each time I look at them I will be just as amazed as the first. Please do not hesitate to book Hope Helmuth Photography—I promise you won’t regret it!!

    So kind and talented!

    From the start, Hope was responsive and kind. We had an original date in July 2020 and she let us postpone without any change in cost—she was so flexible. Day of, Hope was so much fun to work with and she's a machine! If you give her a list she will get EVERY shot and more! She's so efficient and talented... I can't believe the quality of our photos at that speed, it's wild. She was running around finding the light while we were on a clock to get it all done and enjoy some of our cocktail hour. Our photos are gorgeous and we have so much to choose from. So nice working with Hope and team! Amazing work :)

    Stunning photos

    Hope was absolutely wonderful to work with - she is friendly and sweet and has a calming demeanor which made me feel at ease on my wedding day! We love our wedding photos and are so grateful to have them to look back on. I know it’s been a crazy year for vendors as they have additional weddings due to reschedules from the pandemic, but Hope still sent us sneak peak photos right away and our full gallery shortly after. Including too many photos with this review because I couldn’t pick between them all - can’t recommend Hope enough!

    The best wedding photographer!

    We hired Hope for both our Engagement and Wedding day photos and WOW they are just beautiful. We have gotten so many compliments on the quality of our wedding photos (and how fast we got our preview back). Hope was very easy to talk to and fun to work with. We had such a long list of family photos we wanted and she made sure we got them all in time. We are so glad we hired Hope and highly recommend her to any newlyweds out there!

    There is no one better!

    Hope is an angel goddess in photographer form. She was my photographer for my November wedding, and I can’t say enough about the quality of her work and her professionalism on the big day. My husband and I were a little nervous when it came to our wedding photos, since neither of us are huge “picture people.” I was so amazed at Hope’s ability to put the both of us at ease in order to capture our wedding day perfectly. I mean, I was there, and the photographs make it look even more amazing than I remembered! I know that we are going to cherish these photos forever--both my mom and grandmom already have giant photographs from the day up on their walls. I have recommended Hope to everyone I know, and I still can’t believe how lucky I was to be able to have her as my photographer!

    Amazing photographer and cares about her clients!

    Hope is all you could ask for in a wedding photographer. She is professional, responsive, flexible, warm and friendly, and truly cares about getting you the best photos to document your day. She asks questions about what you like and whats important to you, and she listens/delivers! I was so nervous about my pictures (I'm not very photogenic) and they turned out fantastic. She knows the best angles, and how to capture the most precious moments, particularly candid and action shots. I would recommend her to anyone!

    Hope Helmuth Photography is the absolute BEST!

    If you’re looking for the most amazing, most talented photographer, look no further. Not only is Hope incredibly sweet and patient, but she is truly a master at what she does. Every picture she took at our wedding what absolutely beautiful and she made us feel so comfortable during the process! Don’t second guess on her being your photographer. She is seriously the best!

    Hope is your girl!!!

    I knew I had to snag Hope as our wedding photographer, to the point that I did so 2 years in advance!!! Hope puts 100% of her time and energy in perfecting her craft and it definitely shows! Hope takes timeless photos that bring all of the emotions of the day rushing back. Not only are you left with an amazing product, Hope is there for you from day 1, I had many questions that she always had quick answers to. Also, I was sick on my wedding day (!!) but Hope was a calming presence throughout and helped me to feel absolutely beautiful with her kind and light demeanor. She was more than our photographer, she was my sense of comfort throughout the whole day ❤️ I would choose Hope to capture our day 100 times over!!

    Hope's got your back!

    Hope was amazing to work with. Not only is she super talented, she knows how to keep everyone calm and relaxed. She squeezed in so many photos into such a short time frame and we are so happy with how they turned out!! Her eye is amazing and her assistant (Lauren) was the bomb. Book Hope Helmuth! It'll be the easiest part of wedding planning.

    Incredible talent and wonderful photographer!

    It was an absolute delight and pleasure to have Hope and her team photograph our special day. Hope’s talent shines through her ethereal and beautifully poised photographs. Her flexibility, professionalism, and calm nature ensured that we were able to enjoy our wedding day with a worry-free and joyous spirit. Hope went above and beyond when we were having trouble pinning our boutonnieres and we are so appreciative! We were overjoyed with the care given to the sneak peek album and the variety of classic and modern style photographs. When we received the complete album we were taken back with all of the special memories so thoughtfully captured. The album highlights all of the emotions of the day and it is wonderful to have them all preserved so beautifully. Hope is highly recommended and we hope you will have the same opportunity to have her photograph your special day!

    Hope is an amazing talent

    We used Hope for our wedding this June and could not be more pleased! She was very responsive and helpful during the wedding planning process, which most can agree can be a very stressful time. During our wedding Hope was very friendly, upbeat and professional. We received a good number of preview pictures a few short days after our wedding and were overjoyed when we received the entire album. She perfectly captured every aspect of our special day! Could not have asked for a better photographer to work with!

    Best Decision of My Life!

    Hope and her team are so professional, prompt and talented. First off, a few days after our wedding she had our sneak peak photos which was so exciting. All of the images recreate the day perfectly every time we look at them. She got every shot and had such a vision for every photo. The toughest part of working with her is deciding what photos you are going to frame because you want to have them all printed! Hope is an expert in her field and leads in the wedding industry.

    HIGHLY Recommended- Hope is amazing!

    Where do I start! If you’re reading this... you should start by calling her and booking your wedding date.... are you back? Ok... seriously... Hope was so incredible and everything I could’ve asked for in a wedding photographer! From being SO SWEET, accommodating, professional, putting my mind at ease and talking me off a ledge a few times throughout the day 😂.... It was pouring rain nearly the entire day of our May 5th Wedding, but that didn’t stop Hope for a second from getting the most amazing outside shots of us- ALL thanks to her because I was ready to call it a day and just take pictures inside our reception venue ! We have adorable umbrella shots as well as some without and you cannot even tell it’s raining in them! She has such a creative eye, and is truly an artist! Lauren who was with her was equally as sweet and amazing! Choosing a wedding photographer was one of my biggest decisions in the whole planning process, as it is for many brides... look no further than Hope and her team! So much love and thanks !

    Do you want ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL & STUNNING wedding pictures? Do you want a photographer who is KIND, FLEXIBLE, FRIENDLY, and EASY TO WORK WITH? Then look no further! Hope is your gal! I found Hope bc she did my brothers wedding the year prior to mine and after working with her & seeing his pictures I knew I had to have her for our wedding day! I wish I could just post my entire album on here to show you what I'm talking about. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Hope and her incredible skills!

    Sweetest and most talented wedding photographer!

    Where do I even begin?! Hope and her team are absolutely amazing. No, really. They are incredible! My husband and I are so impressed from our engagement photos, to our wedding photos and every conversation in between. It's clear that Hope is very talented and her work speaks for itself, but her personality is even better. She made every interaction super comfortable and fun for us. It felt like a good friend was shooting us every time she worked with us. We loved Hope's style which felt romantic and non traditional to us, which is why we went to her and she blew our expectations out of the water. For us, photography was the most important vendor because photos capture the magical memories being made on your big day. I can honestly say our photographs have brought tears to our eyes numerous times and we feel so lucky to have these memories captured so beautifully forever. If you choose Hope as your wedding photographer you will not be disappointed, in fact you'll probably just ugly cry like me because she does such a lovely job!!

    Hope is the best

    Hope has otherworldly powers when it comes to photography. The pictures from our wedding are stunning, we can't stop looking at them. She managed to capture every moment we could have wanted from the day. Hope is immensely talented, but she is also really great to work with. We had absolutely zero stress when it came to our photos and that is entirely because of Hope. We cannot recommend her enough, she is awesome.

    Book Hope. Do it. She is magical.

    It's hard to describe the delight that is working with Hope. First, there's the actual photo taking. Hope is so friendly and outgoing that she made even me and my camera-shy husband feel like models. Then there's the moment she emails you a link to your digital gallery, and you start sobbing because the whole day looks even more beautiful than you remember. She manages to capture every little moment when you thought to yourself, "I wish I could stop time right now." We loved that her wedding package includes an engagement session (important to me and my husband so that we could feel comfortable with her on our wedding day), a second shooter on the big day (so no moment is missed because it happened across the room!), and the option to add on film images. It's amazing how much value you get in this package. Hiring Hope was one of the best decisions my husband and I made in our planning process, and we cannot recommend her enough.

    Simply the best!

    HIRE HOPE! That is the main point I want to get across, but here's why: if you're looking for photos with a romantic, dreamy quality - hire Hope. If you're looking for someone to capture the emotions and little moments that mean so much - hire Hope. If you want a photographer who is laid back, has a calming presence, and sunny smile - hire Hope. If you're looking for an "oh my gosh!" reaction when you show people your wedding photos - hire Hope. If those reasons aren't enough - she's affordable, easy to work with, and has a background in editorial photography, which means your bridal portraits will turn out insanely beautiful. I could go on and on, but I'll end with this - she's the best!
