A Jewish wedding is full of moments that pass in seconds and mean everything: the veil lowered at the bedeken, the circles under the chuppah, the glass breaking and the whole room shouting mazel tov. We photograph and film them so you can live them again.
We have filmed Jewish and Hindu-Jewish celebrations, including a Hindu and Jewish wedding, and we warmly welcome enquiries from Orthodox, Masorti, Reform, Liberal and secular couples alike. Every community and every rabbi does things a little differently, so before your day we sit down with you, and with your rabbi’s guidance, to understand exactly how yours will run.
The shape of the day
- The ketubah signing. Often held in a side room before the ceremony, with the witnesses, the rabbi and close family. It is quick, intimate and full of character, and we make sure it is covered properly.
- The bedeken. The groom is led to the bride, often with singing, and lowers her veil. It is one of the most emotional moments of the day, and one that is easy to miss without a plan.
- The chuppah. The processional, the circling, the blessings over the wine, the giving of the ring and the reading of the ketubah, all under the canopy.
- Breaking the glass. One moment, one sound, and an eruption of joy. We position ourselves for it well in advance.
- The yichud. A few minutes alone together after the ceremony. That time is yours, and we leave you to it, though many couples like a quiet portrait as they come out.
- The hora. Chairs in the air, circles of dancing and the whole family on the floor: the part of the day our cinema cameras were made for.
Synagogue rules, always respected
Some synagogues welcome photography and filming throughout, some ask for set positions, and some do not allow cameras during the service at all, particularly on Shabbat or festivals. We always ask in advance and follow the guidance of the rabbi and the synagogue. Where filming is not possible, we plan the day so that the moments before and after are covered beautifully, and many couples choose to hold the chuppah at their venue, where there is more freedom.
For a wedding held after Shabbat ends on a Saturday evening, we plan the timeline with you so that portraits, the ketubah signing and the ceremony all fit around the light and the hour.
Photography and film, together
Booking wedding photography and wedding films together means one team, one plan and a photographer and filmmaker who never get in each other’s way under the chuppah. Photography starts from £830 and film from £1,430. If two cultures are coming together on your day, see our fusion weddings, and for London city weddings we will happily take you out onto the streets after dark for portraits.
Your questions, answered
Can you photograph the ketubah signing?
Usually, yes, though it depends on your rabbi and community. We ask in advance, keep out of the way, and make sure the witnesses, your families and the ketubah itself are all captured.
What if our synagogue does not allow filming?
We respect that completely. We cover everything before and after the service, and we will help you plan your timeline around it.
Do you cover interfaith and Hindu-Jewish weddings?
Yes. We have filmed Hindu-Jewish celebrations, and we love weddings that bring two traditions together. See our fusion weddings page.
Can we book you for a Saturday night wedding?
Yes. Check your date and tell us your start time, and we will build the coverage around it.
