Since I was gifted my first pinhole camera as a little girl, I have been deeply fascinated by the art of image making. Photography is therapy for me. A cathartic release, my destined purpose and a remarkable means to eternity, with human connection and raw emotion at the centre of it all.

Weddings are such wonderfully chaotic fusions of laughter, tears, romance, family, fashion, travel, interiors and architecture, food and culture. There is no greater nourishment for the soul than to be entrusted with capturing and preserving legacies as tangible heirlooms to be cherished by generations well beyond us. I am inspired and intrigued by people and their stories most of all, weaving narratives into future nostalgia; preserved works of art that transcend time.

A master of understated luxury, Helaina has steadily established herself as a revered name within the industry. Fuelled by an unwavering desire to curate extraordinary moments, her previous decade-long journey as an award-winning international event designer has seamlessly evolved into Helaina Storey – a world of visual poetry spilling with elevated refinement, with feeling.

For modern romantics, desiring images that feel lived-in and storytelling that is shaped by mood, movement, and the weighty gravity of a moment. If your vision leans toward something honest yet styled with intent, Helaina creates collections where sentiment and sophistication coexist. Her approach is immersive and intuitive, capturing the intricacies you didn’t see and the emotions you’ll never want to forget.

story

My relentless pursuit of magic goes beyond simply seeing the beauty in everything. I live to seek it out, chase it and capture it. My work explores romantic elegance through contemporary editorial reportage, elevating your story from simply told, to wildly iconic.

Every photograph I take wears its artistic heart on its sleeve. Deeply rooted in an infatuation with the authentic, perfectly imperfect in between moments that hold the truest beauty but refuse to be forced, I pride myself on being able to anticipate and unearth these precious micro-stories, creating a collection that honours the authentic essence of your love story, revealing the heartbeat of your day.

It’s in your delight and surprise of seeing these captured moments, even ones you may not have been consciously aware of, that I find the greatest joy, crafting, editing, and delivering every collection as a work of art.
