About

I called my company Gin Fizz Photographic as I wanted something that reminded me of my Grandparents, who were married in 1937 and were so important to me, their love for one another was so strong and inspiring. I also wanted a name that had a feeling of celebration, happiness, sunshine, and great times.

I am so passionate about photography, the wonderful art you can create with light, the fact that you can freeze a little piece of time in a photograph, preserve a moment or a memory forever. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t inspired to make beautiful images of life. I am so incredibly privileged to be able to do what I do, I am absolutely in love with my job. Every wedding I do is a pleasure to shoot; getting up for work in the morning always puts a smile on my face.

When I am not shooting fantastic nuptials and lovely couples, I work as a documentary photographer and photojournalist, covering stories in India, Afghanistan, Kashmir and New Zealand, as well as the UK. I have exhibited work in a number of photo festivals and galleries around the world, and have been published in The Guardian, The Times, The Independent, The Times of India, and Vice Magazine. I am represented by Agency Le Pictorium. If you would like to see more of my documentary work, please do take a look here: www.helenrimell.co.uk.

I bring my experience in photojournalism into all my wedding and portrait work; I capture every detail, the laughter, the tears, and the beautiful, sometimes fleeting looks between you both. I draw on my experience with, and love of people to ensure that your personality, individuality and style are visible throughout my photographs. I want each one of my images to exude all the emotions and feelings of the day, and show who you are.

I prefer to use natural and available light to create beautiful, atmospheric, artistic work.

When I am not working or travelling, which is another great love of mine; then you will most likely find me dancing, often in stunning Art Deco ballrooms around London, as I am an avid Lindy Hopper. I love swing dancing as much for the music as the dancing as I am a big jazz fan; the clothes are also rather fabulous.

I am very fond of the ocean, sunshine, walks in the park, love, laughter, art, food, friends, family, wonderful old black and white films, craft beer, and of course, a Gin Fizz.

I am happy, creative, adventurous, and very easy to get along with, I love to work with couples looking for something artistic, stylish, a little different, and full of life. If you like my work and would like to find out more, then please do get in touch. I would love to tell the story of your day by creating gorgeous images that will last a lifetime.
