Wedding photo are my moments, my keepsake for life, I’m so grateful we chose Hélène as she always captures phenomenal moments! With such a keen eye, and astute attention to perfect moments she has the ability to photograph artistically & naturally without you knowing she’s there. She’s extraordinary with people, warm and kind you’ll feel instantly at ease. I’d highly recommend Hélène! Her work speaks for itself. Absolutely, always, stunning! Love ya!

Kingsley Strudwick

Hélène is by far the most talented photographer I've ever had the pleasure of hiring. She is kind, skilled, honest, and captures beautiful, tender, natural moments through her photography. She photographs people as they are - nothing ever feels forced or posed. I look forward to hiring her again in the future, and recommend others do the same!

I would like to endorse the work of Helene. She came recommended to me and her headshot photos were just what I required for my Officiant Wedding Profile pic. She is highly amiable and able to suggest the slightest movements to capture expressions, with ease. Most importantly, she works so hard to make you comfortable and show your best side!! Thank you so much Helene!

Helene photos from our wedding were breathtaking. Each photo was a work of art. She not only shot conventional wedding photos but her creativity lead to some amazing images. She has a wonderful grasp of light and contrasts which come across in her work. The hardest part was deciding which shot we loved the most. She is a warm and kind person, very easy to work with and always willing try anything. We would highly recommend her.

Helene is an amazing photographer. She takes time to capture each image as though it were a work of art. Her images are beautiful and tell a true story. I highly recommend her!

Bryan Ver Meer

Hélène is amazing in every way. She is not afraid to get dirty, hang off the side of a cliff, or stand in water with her equipment to get the perfect shot. We were so lucky to find Hélène as our photographer for our engagement and wedding. The pictures came out perfect and everyone could not wait to see. Hélène captured our moment perfectly and we will always be able to cherish our wedding. Thank you for everything and making us feel so special.

I highly recommend Helene's photography! She did such an amazing job of our wedding and is a lovely human being as well as professional in her approach to her work. She has an eye for the perfect shot from an unusual angle and is very creative in her approach to perspective, composition and location. The quality of photos themselves and the diversity of shots gave us so many to choose from to print and display on our walls. Choose Helene!

As a newcomer to Victoria in search of professional author photos for my next book, I wasn't sure where to turn—until I found Helene's work. The beauty, intensity, and dynamism of her personal/ creative work convinced me right away that she was the photographer for me. Helene was wonderful to work with—prompt, warm, and engaging. I felt at ease with her from the start. What I feared would feel like a chore -- an afternoon in front of a camera, eek! -- in fact became a fun afternoon outing! Best of all, I'm delighted with the photos themselves. I would definitely work with Helene again and recommend her most highly for headshots, portraits, or any other photography.

My feancé and I found out about Hélène through a friend of ours, as she came highly recommended to us! When we took a look at her website we absolutely fell in love with her style, her unique sense of creativity, and her innate ability to capture those small moments that are so important. We absolutely adored having Hélène capture our wedding, she was present, yet blended in and didn’t overwhelm. She spent the time to really get to know us as a couple, so she could better understand who we were together. She went above and beyond to make it a really memorable experience for us and our families. She is a total gem!

We just celebrated our 14 year anniversary and were looking back at all the photos and they are still just as powerful as they were then. Classic & timeless photos of the most amazing day. Helene is super talented and captures such stunning and emotional moments that I'm so grateful to be able to look back on and share with our daughters. Hire her if you are looking for beautiful storytelling photography for your important event. Thanks Helene!

Kristy Taylor

Extremely high quality and professional photography. Helene did the photography for a business website and she captured everything we asked for in an efficient and fun manner, we were impressed by the photos and are so happy to use them for media, website and social media.

Shelley Kim

We learned about Hélène while visiting wedding venues in Victoria. Her wedding photography exuded certain emotions that really captivated us. She was very quick to respond and pleasant. And because we are from the states, communication was key. We shared what we were looking for -- i.e., full shots with lot of nature and nothing too traditional. But all in all we followed her direction and we couldn't be more happier how everything turned out. We were also able to squeeze in engagement photos couples of days before the big day. It was such a pleasure working with her and we cannot wait to return to BC for a family photoshoot in the future.

Mark Wyatt

Fantastic Photographer and person. Helene is a joy to work with.

It is always an amazing experience to work with Helene! Her eye for capturing the perfect moment is unparalleled! We would highly recommend her!

Marie Franklin

Hélène is an amazingly talented photographer and being a gem of a human is icing on the cake. Hélène photographed our wedding and we could not be more pleased with the special moments she captured. My husband and I travelled from out of the country for our wedding and Hélène was ever so accommodating during the planning. She was absorbed into our big day as one of our guests all while capturing our beautiful day, even making a life long friend with my grandfather. A pleasure to work with, talented photographer and all around wonderful person!

Kay Angliss

Helene has a great artistic eye and is pleasant to work with. She took action shots/portraits at our work event and our organization was very satisfied with the results. Helene has the unique ability to get people to relax when she is taking their portraits and you can see their ease reflected in the images. She is professional and works with the client to get the desired result. I HIGHLY recommend Helene to anyone looking for a photographer!

Tennille Bartelings

If anyone chooses to have Hélène capture images for them, they will not be disappointed! The moment I met Hélène I felt a deep and emotional connection to her and knew I couldn't have anyone else take our wedding photos. Hélène has a soulful and artfully creative eye that is hard to find, our wedding gallery was breathtaking!! I still find joy in looking the all the photos and following the particular story Hélène's lens created all on it's own. To this day my husband and I return to Victoria and thoroughly enjoy reconnecting with Hélène for a visit. We continue to ask her take our photos, for her style of artistic photography cannot be found anywhere else!

Anthony Tan

Helene and her assistant were great to work with and I am very happy with the new portrait photos.

Brad Funk

Look no further if you are needing a talented and professional Photographer for memorializing any special occasion. Helene is incredible, she captured moments that would've been lost and allowed all at our event to see and share in the experience that otherwise is not possible. She doesn't just capture images but grabs emotions that can be fleeting with exceptional timing. Our wedding will forever be relived through her work.

Kyle Cameron

Hélène is very kind and professional and made two introverts feel at ease in front of the camera for our wedding. Each photo is a work of art, carefully crafted with experience and talent. You will not be disappointed. There are a lot of photographers available out there but very few can do what she can do.

Keith Clifford

Hélène was a lot of fun to work with and her work is exquisite. She captured a lot of beautiful memories for my new wife and I and I'm grateful for her artistry.

Nicole H

Helene was our photographer for our tiny wedding last year and we absolutely loved her! With only a few guests it was so important to be comfortable with our photographer and Helene put the small group of us at ease and caught so many great moments!

Gemma Harmony

Hélène Cyr creates beautiful and brilliant works of photographic art. I love her style and I love how her photos stand out-- she really knows how to capture a moment, and how to capture the emotion of a moment. I have worked with Helene for several special occasions over the past decade, and each time I have been so impressed and amazed with the results. She has taken some of my very favorite photos of me and my family. She is wonderful to work with, and has a very easy-going approach. She always makes me feel comfortable in front of the camera. I can't recommend her enough! She is a true artist and a true creative soul.

Amanda Lisman

Working with Helene was a joy. She listened to my requests and collaborated well to create great images. She was easy to communicate with and prompt and professional in her service. Working together in her studio, Helene put me at ease with her sense of humour, kindness, curiosity and passion!

kristy grear

Helene is the most phenomenal photographer I have ever met or worked with. Her ability to make her subject feel comfortable and at ease in incomparable. There truly is no one to hold a flame to her in Victoria, BC!

Simon Jori

A professional photographer friend recommended Hélène, saying “hire her and you will not regret it.” What an understatement! We absolutely loved Hélène. She is an exceptionally talented photographer. Her images are full of life. They tell a story with genuineness and sincerity and an appreciation for people. She puts everyone instantly at ease; she is a catalyst for the magic and a true pleasure to work with. If you want the typical cookie-cutter posed lifeless wedding photos, go somewhere else. If you want something special, Hélène’s for you. She was such an important part of our special day. We just LOVE our photos. Thank you Hélène!

Crystal James

Helene was the perfect person to photograph our wedding 10 years ago. She made us feel at ease and took the most beautiful, unique, and artistic photos. It was a no-brainer to get back in touch with her to do our 10-year anniversary shoot. It was so good to see her and catch up after all these years. And, again, she made us feel completely comfortable - especially my two-year old who is sometimes quite shy with new people. And, the pics are so fun and special. Thanks Helene!

Anna Stukas

Helene is a phenomenal photographer, and has photographed some of our favourite moments as a growing family - from our wedding on a spectacularly stormy fall day to family shots when both our children were infants. My husband in particular detests having his photo taken, and swears Helene has taken some of the best photos of him, ever. Helene is warm and makes you feel at ease, and has a knack for capturing incredibly beautiful candid shots.
