LONDON BAT & BAR MITZVAH PHOTOGRAPHER

A Bat or Bar Mitzvah is a very special moment for your family surrounded by your closest loved ones. When the last of the confetti cannons and canapés have long gone, it is the photographs that take you back to the sights and emotion of an occasion to treasure for the rest of your lives.

It’s an honour that so many families have entrusted me to document their son or daughter’s Bar or Bat Mitzvah and I would love to do the same for you.  I’m committed to putting you and your family at ease and creating photos that both you and your children will love.

I’ve had the honour to work at some of London’s finest venues such as the Langham, Rosewood, One Marylebone, Mayfair Hotel, Kensington Roof Gardens and Montcalm at Marble Arch and have worked alongside some of London’s finest suppliers such as WhitePaper Events, Uptown Events, 9Events and Totem.

I am based in London and available for Bat & Bar Mitzvahs across the UK and overseas.

If you want photos full of feeling, love and action that your children will love as much as you, then get in touch to enquire about availability!

FAQ & PRICING

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

All packages include me on the day, a big smile, positive attitude and a bag full of the best gear money can buy.

I'm always happy to review timings to ensure you have enough space to get the photos you want and enjoy your evening, and I'm on hand if you're struggling to find a venue or supplier.

Then after your Bar or Bat Mitzvah you get a same-week Facebook preview to relive those memories by followed a few weeks later by a beautiful online gallery from which you can view, share and download your images.

DO YOU PERSONALLY SHOOT EVERY EVENT?

Yes! I value the trust families place in me so I will be the lead photographer at your Bat or Bar Mitzvah. 

WHAT ABOUT A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?

For all but the smallest Bar and Bat Mitzvahs I strongly recommend a second photographer to capture alternative viewpoints on the reception, speeches and dance floor action. This is something we can discuss at the time of the main booking or you can add a photographer nearer the event.

In all cases I choose from a small pool of excellent photographers based on their personality and skill set.

CAN YOU PHOTOGRAPH AT OUR SYNAGOGUE?

A lot of time and effort goes into your son's preparations for his moment at Shul and depending on your Synagogue's preference I can be there to capture call-up or rehearsals.

DO YOU OFFER ALBUMS?

Yes of course – I’d always recommend having printed, physical storybook from your event that you can hold in your hand and treasure forever.

I'm happy to run you through a range of options that are printed and handmade in Italy. Smaller duplicate copies are available for family members too. Albums can be purchased at any point from the time of booking to after your Bat or Bar Mitzvah. 

OUR BAR MITZVAH IS NOT IN LONDON. DO YOU TRAVEL?

Most definitely! Whilst the majority of my Bat and Bar Mitzvahs are in London, I'm lucky enough to have photographed weddings, commercial and charity commissions all over the world from Italy to Mexico and Australia to Portugal.

For all events within England & Wales the pricing includes travel. For overseas destination Bar Mitzvahs flights to most corners of the earth are pretty cheap and we then work out the most practical way of accommodating me at, or near to, the venue

WHAT ABOUT PORTRAITS AND GROUP SHOTS?

Yes of course. Whilst I’m a documentary photographer by background we always schedule enough time at the beginning of the celebration to ensure that you get some brilliant portraits of you, your children and closest friends and family. 

WHY SHOULD WE BOOK YOU?

I’m not very good with this bit so I’ll leave you with the words of one of my Recent Bar Mitzvahs:

"I have just gone through our photos for the fourth time. They are absolutely fantastic. You captured every moment (which is quite lucky as we can't remember them all!). We didn't actually remember spending so much time laughing. We want to do it all again and again and again. Thank you so much for helping the best weekend of our lives remain in our memories for ever xxx!"

THIS SOUNDS GREAT! BUT WHAT IS THE INVESTMENT?

Prices start at £1695

OK FANTASTIC HOW DO WE BOOK?

Its very simple! A deposit and short contract is all I need to secure your date. So get in touch on my contact page, say hello and find out if I’m available.
