Does any of this sound familiar?

  • You're planning what amounts to a wedding — venue, caterer, DJ, a hundred guests — while someone in your house practices a Torah portion.
  • Family is flying in from three time zones. You want proof everyone was in the same room.
  • You've been to the mitzvah where the photographer missed the hora.

This day took years. It deserves a team that treats it that way.

The whole story, kept

Here's how it goes.

Portraits happen before the service, or earlier that week. The service is covered within your congregation's guidelines. The party gets covered like the once-only event it is — the hora, the candle lighting, the toast that makes everyone cry.

Three generations in one frame, on purpose.

And your kid, looking like themselves. Even in dress shoes.

Everything handled

  • Wedding-grade event coverage. We photograph 150+ weddings — the closest thing to a bar mitzvah your family will ever host. Timelines, vendors, low light, moments that happen once. This is our home turf.
  • The service, handled respectfully. Every congregation has its own guidelines for photography. We coordinate with yours beforehand, so nothing about the day surprises anyone.
  • The people, prioritized. Grandparents, cousins, three generations. Family portraits happen early, while everyone is fresh.
  • Your kid, comfortable. Kids this age rarely love being photographed. Yours will forget the camera in minutes. Direction when they want it, room when they don't.
  • Editing that's true to the day. Skin looks like skin. Color looks like the room felt.
  • Film, if you want it. The same team shoots video — one crew, one timeline, one consistent look across your gallery and your film. Mention it when you check your date.
  • Your photos are yours. Full download and printing rights, always. Your gallery arrives in Pixieset and on Dropbox. Order prints to your door, or take the files to your own print shop.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as the date is set. Dates are often booked a year or more out, and so are we.

Can you cover the rehearsal dinner?

Yes — rehearsal dinners and Shabbat services can join any coverage plan. Mention it when you check your date.

How long until we see the photos?

Your full gallery arrives within three weeks of the celebration.
