Helen Makadia Photography

i booked helen because my friend hired her for his wedding, and after our wedding another friend of mine decided to hire her because of us. that basically tells you helen is the type of person you can trust and want to work with. she was in our price range, but i heard she’s gone up (understandable, since her work seems to be getting better and better). you can decide for yourself if she’s your style — all the weddings she’s shot are on her website/​blog. as a person, helen is very sweet and soft spoken. on the day of my wedding, i felt completely at ease with her, even though we only met twice. she was generous with her services and went above and beyond what i hired her for. she volunteered to lend me some poles to use for a backdrop i wanted to make, and afterwards she helped my friend disassemble and clean up the reception hall (what photographer does that?!). a lot of photogs hold your photos hostage for up to a year. helen got everything edited and uploaded online for us to view in a matter of weeks, and mailed us our pictures on a DVD shortly after. i was married in September, and was able to use our wedding photos on our holiday cards/​thank you notes. i’m pretty sure not many people can say they’ve done that. so, thank you helen.
