The whole story, told once.
Every wedding runs on its own clock — and we learn yours before the day begins. Badeken to last dance, first look to send-off: we know where to stand and when the moment turns, so nothing is missed, and nobody is posed.
Photographs, or films?
Two crafts, one team — choose how you want to see the weddings.
Jewish wedding photography, in full
What a Jewish wedding asks of a camera.
A Jewish wedding does not wait for a photographer to catch up. Kabbalas panim and the tisch run at the same time in two rooms, the badeken lasts ninety seconds, and the chuppah is often outdoors at dusk with the light changing while the sheva brachos are read. Coverage is built around the seder of the day, because the day will not bend to a generic timeline.
Kabbalas panim and the badeken
While the kallah receives in one room, the tisch is running in another, and both matter — so the coverage is planned for two rooms at once. The badeken is not a photo opportunity to be staged; it lasts moments and cannot be repeated, and the mothers just before it are among the photographs nobody schedules and everybody keeps.
The chuppah
The chuppah is forty minutes and the photographs are forever — that line is on this page because we mean it. It is often outdoors, often at dusk, exposed for the difference between faces and sky, and covered without interrupting it: the brachos, the kesubah, the breaking of the glass, each happening exactly once.
The dancing
First dance at a secular wedding is one couple on an empty floor. At a frum wedding it is hundreds of people dancing in circles on both sides of the mechitza, shtick arriving by the third set, and at many simchas a mitzvah tantz late in the night, in the darkest light of the evening. Those pictures are taken by somebody already standing in the right place.
Photojournalists first
Our photographers are photojournalists first — there is a whole page on this site about what that means. The short version: a Jewish wedding is read, not directed. Nothing under the chuppah is staged, and the moments a family keeps — the mothers before the badeken, a grandfather at the chuppah — are the ones nobody scheduled.
Photography and film, one team
Photography and cinema come from one in-house studio — one contract, one schedule, and two crafts that already agreed who is standing where during the badeken. Second shooters are in-house rather than freelanced from a list, and Shabbos and yom tov are not shooting days.
Where we photograph weddings
The studio is based in Toms River, New Jersey, twenty minutes from Lakewood, and photographs weddings across the state — Lakewood, Toms River, Jackson, Howell, Deal, Teaneck, Passaic — with regular work in Brooklyn, Monsey, the Five Towns, Long Island, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
