H N Photography.Uk Full Description
We are Helen & Noel, a married couple living in Braintree. We met online in 2002, back in the days of freeserve chat rooms and good old dial-up. We spent a couple of months talking online and then Noel travelled from Macclesfield down to Essex to meet face to face for my birthday weekend in The November. We hit it off straight away and quickly realised our shared passion for photography. I travelled to Macclesfield to spend Christmas with Noel, it was so hard leaving on Boxing Day, but I had to be back at work the next day in Braintree. Noel travelled to Essex again for New Year and made the move to Braintree in January. He proposed on Valentine’s Day and a year to the day when he first visited we got married. It was a wonderful day, filled with fantastic memories. We still look at our wedding photos and reminisce. Over the years we developed our skills mostly with wildlife and the occasional wedding or celebration for friends and family and realised we loved it ! There is nothing like the buzz of sharing and capturing the love on a wedding day. In 2016 we took the plunge, setting up H N Photography.Uk and photographed our first paid wedding. We have never looked back. Our wedding day was wonderful, but after several years of photography we have come to realise, if we could do it again, we would change a lot of things. We are not just photographers and turn our hand to many things on a wedding day, whether helping with ties or cravats, pinning on buttonholes or running minor emergency repairs to attire and accessories. We only met our photographer once before the day and although he did a great job we did not feel we knew him and were not completely at ease when being photographed. We have found that having several meetings with our couples, they are much more relaxed on the day and feel they can approach us for anything. Many of our couples have told us it is more like having friends at their wedding, not just being a hired photographer.

Beautiful!

Helen and Noel were so professional. Although I would have preferred Helen to do my pre-wedding pictures. Saying that, we met with them many times and formed a brilliant relationship-which is so important.

Great photography

Helen & Noel were very professional from start to finish. They are friendly and they are a very kind couple. They listened to what we wanted and never tried to push there thoughts. They were always contactable from booking till after the wedding and nothing was ever a issue. They came up with some ideas for a few photos to surprise us on the day! Showed they listened to how we meet and story’s about each other. They managed to make my mother who has passed away be apart of our photos which meant dodo much to us and my family. I highly recommend Helen & Noel! They are amazing! The LLOYDS

Utterly fantastic job

Let's face it; picking a photographer is a risk. We are putting our faith, trust, and our memories of an important event in the hands of people who at the time of hiring we really don't know very well. You only have to google 'disastrous wedding photographers' to be regaled with a string of nightmarish stories where this trust has been wholly misplaced. Both Andrea and I are therefore very lucky, and very grateful to Noel and Helen for doing an utterly fantastic job. Their attentiveness in the meetings leading up to our wedding - not to mention their background research in visiting the sites and assessing potential photo locations; with a plan B in case of inclement weather - quickly made us realise that we had made the right choice, and that we were in very safe hands. On the day itself they consulted with Langtons staff, and ensured that they did the best by us, whilst respecting the venue. In short; we were just able to let them get on with it; and enjoy the day!! Not only are the photos excellent, but we feel like we have made two new friends. We look forward to seeing their business - quite rightly - flourish; as these are two people who really deserve that success. Thanks to you both X

Our photos take you on a journey

We organised our wedding short notice and on a tight budget. Photos were not top of my list initially and with only days to go, I suddenly realised I may not get any quality photographs of our special day. Helen and Noel came and helped us at the last minute and we couldn't have been more pleased with how friendly and helpful they were. They went above and beyond with the service that they provided to us and we were so overcome with emotions at watching our DVD, especially as we didn't even realise we would be getting one - so it was a fantastic surprise! The quality of the pictures are excellent and they have a knack for capturing those little details and special moments, whether intimate, artistic or even comedic. Our photos take you on a journey and you feel as if you were there. Helen and Noel have a real eye for details, even the simplist photos have such great depths and the colours are amazing. Helen and Noel were very sympathetic to our needs and the needs of our guests. Infact our guests all commented on how approachable and patient they were. To quote one guest "usually wedding photographers are really rude, but your guys were great!". We were impressed with how quickly they learnt everyone's names, which is especially helpful with children. We got excellent value for money, infact I really think they are underselling themselves, and with two photographers you get double for your money regardless! I would whole heartedly recommend them and we are looking forward to doing a family photo shoot with them at some point soon. Thanks very much, we will never forget what you have done for us, you are a part of of our wedding memories now!

Very, very professional.

A quick Thank You for all your hard work at our party. As you promised you were in the background and not intrusive (many people didn't even know you were there) Very, very professional. We both wish you every success in the future and we will be more than pleased to recommend you to our friends and family.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

They are all memorable in their own ways, no one wedding is more special than another

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Friendly, unobtrusive, professional, natural, creative

What about your business are you most proud of?

Our ability to be professional, but still remain friendly and approachable.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Do what you can to accommodate your guests, but don't try to please everyone, otherwise you will end up with a wedding day that is nothing like you dreamed of or wanted. Stay true to yourselves and your wish list.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

An initial no obligation meeting to discuss requirements and show what we can provide to create a package individual to the couple. If happy, we then take a deposit to secure the date and sign contracts. A first detail meeting to start getting a basic idea of the format and timings for the day. Then a venue visit with or without the couple to assess lighting and best places for photographs. A final meeting two to four weeks before the wedding to finalise all the timings and collect final payment (if necessary). Attending the rehearsal if a church wedding. In between all this numerous emails between ourselves and the couple, specifically the bride to get dress details without the groom becoming aware of how she will look on the day to keep it a wonderful surprise for him on the day.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Since all couples and weddings are different, photography for each event is different. We do not have a set photo that is a must, we have many general ones we will take, but each wedding is individual and this is reflected in the photographs.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Do not panic ! We carry a large number of umbrellas in a multitude of colours, so as long as people are willing to be outside we can still get some amazing, fun photographs with the added injection of colour from the umbrellas. The venue or church are also usually decorated beautifully, so if indoor photographs are a must, there is still always a good background to utilise. If it is a summer wedding, the chances are it will only be a passing shower and we can always do outdoor photographs a little later if preferred by the wedding party.
