Helen is an amazing photographer. We have used her many times now from our Wedding to up to date family shoots. We have canvases around our house to capture those moments that we don't want to forget.
Helen is attentive, lovely with the kids, great in getting people organised in a friendly manner. She captures moments that would bypass many photographers. Her eye for detail is fantastic and her customer satisfaction is second to none.

Helen Alderton photography ....I can not recommend highly enough. The shoot we had was relaxed and Helen took a lot of time to understand exactly what we wanted from our pictures, Helen has a natural talent of getting the best from the children and animals ! I could not have been happier with the finished results, stunning pictures that we will treasure for a lifetime. Very good value for money and will not hesitate to use again or recommend.
