Kosher Wedding Photographer in NYC

When people search for a kosher wedding photographer they are rarely asking about the food. They are asking whether the person with the camera will know the evening — that there is a tisch happening while the kabbalas panim is happening, that the badeken is not a photo opportunity to be staged, that men and women are dancing separately and a long lens across the mechitzah is not the answer, that the mitzvah tantz is the most important twenty minutes of the night and also the darkest.

We have shot these weddings in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens for two decades. Nobody has to be briefed on the order of the evening or told to stop before the chuppah. Shabbos and yom tov are not shooting days, second shooters are in-house rather than freelanced from a list, and if there is a rav or a family minhag that governs how something is covered, that conversation happens before the day rather than during it.
