Helena is a photographer that sees you and your family through the eyes of a kind heart before peering through her camera lens. She was compassionate when we suffered a family trag...
edy, causing a wedding postponement just 4 weeks prior to the day. She treated us with kindness and sincere empathy. On the day of the wedding, she and her assistant Priscilla worked around the disorganization of our venue’s coordinator to capture important details while I scrambled to get things completed in time. Helena and Priscilla worked diligently with a vibe of serenity that kept us calm. She made it easy for us to achieve photos that will be forever treasured. They were never in the way, but seamlessly blended among our family and friends, capturing the celebration and love. This was really not surprising, as we had experienced her skill and personality at our son’s wedding too.
I would highly recommend Provoke Photography for your family’s major milestones. Helena is a wonderful person and photographer. Thank you, Helena!
We 100% recommend Helena for your wedding photographer! My husband and I are not picture people at all but she made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. She kept h...
er directions fun, easy, and flowed with us so naturally that all the "formal" shots felt and turned out very genuine. We loved her ability to capture all of our guests and the little moments throughout the night that help us remember the look and emotion of our wedding day. We were absolutely blown away with our wedding album and she got it back to us very quickly!
I can’t say enough amazing things about Helena! Helena was our wedding photographer and wow! From the first time we met her via zoom, to our engagement shoot, to the day of the wed...
ding, she made us feel so comfortable and excited to be sharing our day with her! Her eye for photos and editing is phenomenal and she is a joy to work with. My husband and I completely trusted her process and the photos are absolutely stunning.
She took the time to get to know us and made us feel super comfortable during our photo sessions. We can’t recommend her enough!
Provoke was the BEST photography for our Wedding Welcome Party! Helena was a true professional that was extremely pleasant to work with. From the moment she arrived, she told us ex...
actly what to do in a quick and efficient manner. For context, mu y husband and I have no idea what to do when it comes to taking pictures, but Helena told us exactly what to do (in a kind and approachable way) She was also open to our suggestions and captured all of the pictures we wanted. Helena is very attentive- she captured all of the details, friends, family and loved ones. I can’t recommend her enough! We will have these memories forever, thanks to Provoke!
We had the best experience with Helena and her team for both our engagement shoot and wedding. We aren’t the best models and she made us feel so comfortable, the pictures came out ...
super natural and simply gorgeous! We can’t recommend enough!
Helena is an amazing photographer; not only is her work unbelievably spectacular but she is so sweet and kind and lovely to work with. We hired her for our 2020 wedding which was p...
ostponed due to the pandemic and she was beyond understanding, flexible and supportive during a very difficult time for us; for reference we got married this past June ‘22 and could not have done it without Helena. She listened to what we wanted and created a timeline for our wedding day that helped ensure everything ran smoothly. She is punctual, attentive to detail and knows how to mobilize things on the big day to ensure you are having a great time and also stress free. The engagement shoot I highly recommend you do so that you can spend time with Helena before the big day; we had a really fun time and the photos came out beautiful. On the big day she staged our “first look” which could not have been more magical and exhilarating. This was probably one the most emotional moments of our day - Helena ran the show on this one and we are in awe of how she executed each step of to create a truly beautiful moment. Our wedding day photos turned out amazing; her editing style is lovely and everyone looks really good in the pictures. I cannot recommend her enough and can’t wait to make a hard copy album with all of our beautiful photos.
Helena is an amazing photographer. We are obsessed with our photos and I honestly can’t stop looking through our gallery. We loved that we were able to plan our family and bridal p...
arty photos before the ceremony started. We were able to enjoy our wedding and see all the wonderful photos of us truly enjoying ourselves on the best day of our lives. I dabble in photography and editing so I’m very picky about photos, but her work exceeded my expectations. I think what sets her apart from other photographers is her genuine passion for her craft and natural way to take organic photos. She beautifully captured our wedding and we’ll cherish these memories forever.
Helen is absolutely amazing and the person you want to entrust with your wedding photos! She makes the day fun and exciting and makes sure to get the shots that are important to yo...
u. I highly recommend her!
I am so thrilled we hired Helena. She was very professional and affordable and most importantly she is extremely talented. Our pictures were beyond my wildest dreams. I am so thril...
led and she didn't take too long to edit them as well (within 8 weeks-). I have friends who paid 3x or more what I did for worse pictures that took 4-6 months to get back. I couldn't recommend Helena more and tell all my friends in southern Florida that they NEED to book her.
I've been in the events industry for over 8 years and was very particular with what I wanted in a photographer. It's more than pretty pictures. From the first phone call with Helen...
a, I was certain she would be it. She was professional and warm and really listened to how I wanted my day captured. She right away sent me a follow up email with general timeline based on our discussion and it was clear we were on the same page. Then came time for our engagement photos which became a saga due to a combination of Covid closures and weather issues. Throughout the 3 postponements, she stayed in contact with me and put me at ease, reassuring me she was on top of things. Once we were in our session she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed - it was fun! Lastly, the photos were gorgeous! Not overly artsy, but just enough to make you feel all the feels while still feeling natural and candid. The wedding day came and the same can be said. We stuck to the timeline and captured all the shots we wanted and the end results left us breathless.
Helen, of Provoke Photography, is an incredible artist and photographer! I have had the pleasure of working with Helen for many different occasions. She is my go-to for all my phot...
ography needs and has photographed my Engagement, Wedding, and Holiday photo as well my professional business photos. She has an amazing eye and the gift of turning even my living room into the most wonderful backdrop. She is a patient photographer and makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She has made every session a breeze and helped me with everything from picking outfits to posing for wonderful shots. During my wedding, she went above and beyond and helped arrange last minute flower garlands and decor! Thanks Helen! I recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing photographer!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Helena! She is such a sweet, giving soul and is so passionate about her work, which really shows in her photos. She makes taking pictures...
so natural and easy, which is such a relief on the most eventful (and slightly nerve-wracking) day of your life. She took every photo I wanted and so many more I didn't know I wanted but so glad I have. I really appreciated the detail she put into capturing great photos and even including the silly/emotional/candid ones that I really loved. She was such a joy to work with, all of my family and bridal party were so impressed. She really dedicates her time to you, even before the event trying to help guide you in your vision (which I definitely needed help with). She is such a gem of a person and will capture your day/event even more beautiful than you could ever picture it. I cannot not recommend her enough!
Our wedding was an absolute fairytale, in large part thanks to Helena and Provoke Photography! Not only was she our amazing, creative, organized, fun, funny, confident photographer...
(all such important qualities) since our engagement shoot, she also helped direct our entire wedding day so that everything ran as smoothly and perfectly as possible. The understanding of what is most important in a wedding along with the creative vision behind her lens is evident in every magical shot she captures. We will never have enough words to thank her for so beautifully capturing the best day of our lives!
Our wedding photos are A DREAM COME TRUE! From the first moment I met Helena, I knew that she was the one that would capture the best day of our lives, and boy... did she! She is s...
o sweet, reliable, responsive, and makes you feel sooo comfortable! She is someone you always want to be around, and we seriously could have not picked a better photographer.
She captured every moment of our wedding so perfectly, from the details, to the smile and tears; she didn't miss a beat! I find myself looking at my pictures over and over and I can't help but smile knowing that these moments will be cherished forever.
Provoke Photography did not disappoint, and I am happy to say that I will always have a friend in Helena. We cannot thank her enough for the memories she captured.
Stop searching and choose Provoke Photography, you will not regret it!
Thank you so much!
Love, Melanie and Raul
Helena was my wedding photographer and I cannot say enough amazing things about her. Not only are her photography skills incredible, but she is also the kindest person. She has the...
best patience (especially when my now husband does not want to cooperate for engagement pics) and always knows the best ways to make us laugh, smile, or be serious and lovey. We received our wedding photos so quickly and the moments she captured were perfect. Her second shooter Megan was also amazing, so funny, and a pleasure to work with. I recommended her to a friend for newborn baby photos and these too were phenomenal. I am so happy to have found her and look forward to working with her again in the future.
Having your photos taken can be so nerve-racking (at least for me) but Helena made my husband and I feel SO comfortable! Not only did the pictures turn out absolutely BREATHTAKING,...
but Helena made the entire experience a very, very enjoyable one. Nothing felt forced, everything felt so natural and she did such an amazing job capturing our true essence. She is so creative and so passionate about what she does! She arrived early, was extremely diligent and professional, while still being her fun, bubbly self. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I promise you'll regret NOT hiring her because she is the BEST!!! If I could leave her 100 stars I would :) We can't thank you enough Helena!
Helena truly made me feel so comfortable - not only in front of the camera with her talent of capturing amazing moments, but behind it with her constant professionalism. She did bo...
th our engagement photos and wedding photos - and both experiences went amazing. At our engagement photo, it wasn't just photographer and client - we had an early dinner together and just talked; she is that easy going that you feel like you've been friends with her for years. When she says "trust me" TRUST HER cause those photos will come out perfect.
Helena was absolutely amazing! She was recommended to me by a friend and I wish I had found her sooner. Her work is incredible, she really is an artist. I did an engagement session...
with her and was so impressed. She was so patient with us, found a great location, offered advice on how to pose and made sure we got every single shot we could ever want. If I ever need photos in the future she will be the first one I go to. Not only did she get our photos back to us extremely fast but she also provided sneak peaks along the way. I would recommended her to everyone I know.
Great for our engagement photos! She was so nice and our photos came out beautiful.
Helena is so professional and organized. She is extremely detailed in her photographs. We felt so comfortable with her! She knew just how to get us to laugh and smile. She is very ...
talented. We have amazing pictures that will last a lifetime thanks to Helena and her creativity. The park we took pictures at didnt look like much to me and I joked that photographers see magic in the oddest of places. I am in awe of just how magical the photos came out. I am so happy to have chosen Provoke Photography for my wedding and HIGHLY recommend Helena for any occasion! She is truly TALENTED!!!
