‘The Details’ by Justin DeMutiis

I’ve photographed many Jewish weddings in the past where the ceremony took place indoors, but I personally always favour the ones that are outdoors where I can take full advantage of natural light. Emma and David did a wonderful job in planning out their wedding to have so many stunning details with beautiful florals in particular. These types of weddings really do help me define my own style and for that reason this is my favourite Jewish wedding. “

‘The Moment’ by Jez Dickson

The one thing that strikes me about any Jewish wedding I shoot is how close and tight knit everyone is and how much joy and celebration is afforded towards the couple. This image is not your groom in the sky ‘hero’ shot which tends to attract more comments and plaudits but one that illustrates what a Jewish wedding stands for.

The Bride & Groom had originally planned to get married in Israel but unforeseen circumstances meant a re-locate at just ten days notice to Rosewood London and this moment was the culmination of not only a job well done by all in pulling it off, but it also marked the end of a rather brilliant surprise flash mob performance by the whole wedding! Unbeknown to bride and groom, everyone in attendance had been roped into the practice and perfect it prior to the big day and it went down a storm.

Moments are what create great photographs. The depiction of a true moment in time will always override perfectly composed or technically flawless images and for me this image represents a moment when everything clicked. I was just lucky enough to witness it!”

‘A Modern Orthodox Jewish wedding’ by Ash Nayler Photography

This was one of my first Modern Orthodox Jewish weddings. I was nervous to be shooting most of the photos after dark and, in the winter. Although I photographed many lovely portraits of the couple, I feel this image represents so well the fullness, the anticipation and the huge celebratory feeling of Jewish weddings.

If I remember rightly, whilst I shot this photo, I got stepped on, bumped, and had my camera knocked around, but it was worth it! “

‘That look’ by onelove photography

James and Cate have the biggest hearts I’ve ever seen. They met volunteering at Camp Harmony (a summer camp for homeless children) and are committed to giving their lives to support others. The way that they look at each other, it stops me dead in my tracks.”

‘A small moment in a big day’ by Andrew Billington

This is a really tough choice because the wedding day is usually so energetic, emotional and full of animation that I could pick any stunning photo from the dancing, or speeches, or prayers, or Badeken and it would really sell me as a photographer. But my approach to photographing weddings is all about storytelling so as well as all those moments mentioned above (which are a delight to photograph and always deliver great results) I’m looking for those subtle, quieter moments that tell you about the couple as well as the ritual.

I’ve chosen this very small moment from Sally & Joe’s wedding ceremony at The Priory Barn, Little Wymondley. I think the expressions are perfect as they listen to an important part of the ceremony. It’s not a big show stopping photograph but it is one that tells me something about the couple. It’s a small moment in a huge day – and those small moments add up.”
