Modern Orthodox Jewish Wedding Photographer

Modern Orthodox weddings — Teaneck, Bergenfield, the Five Towns, Riverdale, the Upper West Side — usually mean mixed seating, a serious horah, a ketubah signing that half the family crowds into, and a couple who would rather the photography felt observed than directed. The brief is nearly always some version of "cover it beautifully and leave us alone".

That suits how we work. Family photographs done efficiently before the ceremony rather than in a long block afterwards. The bedeken and the ketubah signing shot as the crowded, emotional, slightly chaotic things they actually are. A chuppah covered from outside it, so nobody looks back at the ceremony and sees a photographer standing in the middle of it. And the dancing shot from inside, close, with a second camera high enough to show what the room truly looked like when it was full.
