Jewish Wedding Photographer
Melbourne & Mornington Peninsula
A Jewish wedding is steeped in history, culture and community creating a captivating celebration full of emotion and energy, as a Jewish wedding photographer, I see each ceremony has its own unique story to convey, whether entirely traditional or a blend of old and new.
The entire ceremony is often a mix of contrasting moments, those that are privately shared and intimate, to those that are full of a vibrant energy and shared with the entire wedding party.
In the more traditional ceremonies, the bride and groom may not have seen each other for days before their wedding, making a heart-felt moment to capture as they see each other for the first time.
Another scene filled with a loving beauty is the bride and groom sharing the wine underneath the Chuppah.
Traditional couples may not have seen each other for days before their wedding too, making this even more of a heart-warming scene to look back on.

Then on the other hand, when the men gather around a table filled with food and drink for the Tisch while singing songs and heckling the groom, there is a thrill in the air as the room erupts with ‘Mazel Tov!’
Another crescendo is the smashing of the glass and the thrill in the air as everyone joins together in celebration.
These genuine and authentic moments are personal and special to you as a couple. Capturing them requires an understanding of the symbolism, the overtures, and the sincerity behind the gestures.
Jewish Reportage (aka Documentary) Wedding Photographer
My style of wedding photography, Jewish or other faiths and cultures, is usually known as ‘reportage’ or ‘documentary wedding photography’. In my opinion, it’s the perfect style for Jewish wedding photography as there’s so much happening, so much emotion and energy.
There’s a strong sense of inclusion and community, meaning buckets full of character - and of course, plenty of dancing.
An experienced Jewish wedding photographer should be at the core of the action, whilst practically going unnoticed. I promise to let you enjoy every minute of your wedding day without disruption or direction.
When planning your own wedding, either fully traditional or with a touch of the contemporary, it’s important to have a wedding photographer who is understanding of the traditions of Jewish culture.
I urge you to take a look at my wedding photo portfolio, to get a better feel of the style, or even just to grab some inspiration from the stunning events I have already had the pleasure of photographing.
