Thanks for stopping by my site and taking the time to look around! I've been photographing weddings and engagements around Athens and Atlanta, GA since 2009. Every wedding is an adventure, and I still feel priveledged to share that journey with every new couple. If I had to describe my style it would be a preference for natural light, bright colorful backgrounds, happy couples, and elegant composition.
I've always placed a high value on photography. At it's best it can take you back to a moment and feeling in a way nothing else does. I still love to look back on the great times we had at my own mountain wedding, and all the faces of family and friends I can't see everyday (above photo by Peter Hawman).

Christopher was the photographer for a friend's wedding which we attended, and also a trusted photographer recommended by our wedding planner. We also booked him for our engagement photoshoot. Christopher is an experienced photographer, and he really knew how to get you to feel comfortable and at ease during our session. We had such a fun time taking our engagement photos with Chris that we knew we were in good hands for our wedding day. He was punctual, organized and patient. Before our wedding day, we decided to hire another photographer through Chris to work with him, and his teammate was as

Chris did an absolutely fantastic job as my wife and I's wedding photographer. We could not have picked a better photographer for a day that you always want the best pictures possible. Chris was a pleasure to work with, striking a great balance between giving space when needed and capturing the candid pictures that everyone loves. Five stars because I wish I could use him for every event!

Christopher Helm Photography was the perfect fit for our wedding. Chris Helm’s style and artistic eye for capturing memorable moments (including humorous ones) are impressive. We love all of the photos that he took at both our ceremony and reception. He is professional, friendly, dedicated, and very easy to work with. We highly recommend Christopher Helm Photography!

Chris was the perfect photographer for a perfect day. From the first moment meeting him he felt like an old friend who we could trust with such an important event. Simply put, his costs were competitive, reasonable, and transparent; his pictures were beautiful and captured all aspects of all events during the wedding; he was friendly and fun to work with, adding to the happiness of the day; and he was a great advisor, helping us think about the day-of timeline of our wedding and accommodating special circumstances. We recommend him to everyone we know.

When my husband and I were searching for a photographer for our wedding in Athens, GA, Chris stood above and beyond anything else we could see. He is incredibly personable and easy to work with. Our engagement shoot was like meeting a new friend who captured natural moments beautifully.
The wedding photos tell a truly beautiful story, and I am so happy with how beautiful they turned out! There are wonderful beats and glances that are saved forever when they would have otherwise been lost and forgotten. I would advise anyone to use Chris for their professional photography needs. He made taking

Chris was absolutely fabulous to work with on my wedding day! He was so easy to get ahold of and plan with prior to the wedding and great to work with on my wedding day as well. My grandmother made the comment that she "never saw him take a photograph at the reception"--He didn't interfere with the events but he captured them flawlessly! I just got my pictures back this week and they are absolutely fantastic! We are so happy and impressed with his work and I would recommend him to anyone.

My husband and I chose Chris Helm to be our wedding photographer through a friend's referral, it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process!
Chris has a natural latent toward capturing the moment when the day event unfolds. He works tirelessly and is so good at capturing both still portraits and on-going activities. His work is stunning with perfect choice of angles and lighting. He also made us laugh when we felt tired taking pictures, adding more fun and making it more natural for all of us to stand and pose in front of the camera. Before the wedding,

We are so thrilled with how Christopher captured the excitement of our wedding day. We particularly enjoyed:
- Personal chemistry - Christopher has such a warm personality and really put everyone in the wedding party at ease. Our photos came out very natural as a result.
- Transparency. My husband and I were advised to review entire wedding collections rather than the "best of" shots that can be misleading. Christopher was absolutely willing to let us view his full galleries that demonstrated his consistent talent throughout a wedding event.
- Sheer Talent. Christopher's style is so clean with
