Jewish Wedding Photographer in Lakewood, NJ

More frum weddings are made in Lakewood than anywhere else in New Jersey, and the halls here are built for them: the chuppah outside, separate seating, and a dance floor sized for the kind of dancing that actually happens rather than the kind caterers plan for. Which also means the rooms are familiar, the light in each of them is known, and there is no first half-hour spent working out where to stand.

We are twenty minutes down the parkway in Toms River, which matters more than it sounds. It means we can be at the hall for kabbalas panim without a travel fee attached to the morning, come back for sheva brachos, and hand a family their photographs without a courier. It also means we have shot in most of these halls in every season, including the two months a year when the chuppah outside is a gamble.
