“My best Jewish wedding photo” by Shlomi Amiga

10/04/2016 by Karen

A weekly series where  I ask some of the world’s best wedding photographers to pick out their favourite shot from their Jewish wedding portfolio. This week it’s the turn of  Shlomi Amiga.

‘Togetherness’ by Shlomi Amiga

This photograph was taken during one of the craziest celebrations of love I was honoured to document. As I was walking (more like dancing) around the guests, I noticed this group of friends circling the bride and groom in the middle of the dance floor. Before jumping right into the action, I snapped a few shots of this interlocking of love. One of the things I love the most about Jewish weddings is the sense of togetherness, and this moment describes it perfectly.  I love turning away from the obvious shot to look for the hidden in between moments. This one hit the jackpot for me!”

‘Lost in a Moment’ by Chris Giles  Photography

It’s difficult to pick my favourite photo, but here it is. Imperfect in places, but an image I love because Shoshana is completely lost in a moment where unusually all eyes were not on them. In fact, these sorts of shots win out most of the time.

Jewish weddings are such that couples are rarely left alone to themselves. I’ve lots of hero dance floor shots and beautiful ceremony ones but the pure emotion and raw love is what I aim for, moments in isolation are a beautiful thing for me.’.”

‘The Fellas’ by Mark Alesky

Here’s an image that always makes me smile, I thought I’d give the men a chance of the spotlight. The wedding of Tina and Nir came my way as Nir is the brother of a good friend of mine. It was my first Jewish wedding — I knew some of the traditions but the one I was looking forward to most was the dancing. When the first Circle Dance started it was the men that took over the floor first.

I remember diving into the centre  and sat on the floor within this spirited and enthusiastic bunch of fella’s, Nir is fourth from the right obviously absolutely loving the moment… they all needed to sit down after however!”

‘The Blessing’ by  Blake Ezra Photography

When asked to submit my Best Jewish Wedding photograph, it seemed like an impossible task.

This is for two reasons. Firstly if you ask any photographer to submit their singular favourite image, they may struggle. There are so many different reasons why someone could appreciate a photograph – the people in it, the composition, the light, the moment captured, or even the emotions felt by the photographer when it was taken. It’s a very difficult thing to choose. What compounds the challenging nature of this task is to ask the question: What is a Jewish wedding photograph? I wanted to pick something innately Jewish, not simply a stunning a photograph that happened to be taken at a Jewish wedding.

So I chose a very special moment before Ashira and Yosef’s wedding ceremony. After the Badeken, Michael gave his daughter Ashira the traditional blessing that Jewish fathers have given to their daughters for centuries, as her husband-to-be looks on. This was raw, pure emotion spilling out as the little girl he had brought up enters a new stage of her life. We are privileged to photograph such moments.”

‘The Flying Bride’ by  York Place Studios

These are the kind of shots that truly excite us! When the flying bride was hurtling towards us on (still!) the craziest dance floor we have ever been on, it was truly amazing. Drinks were flying in our faces, our toes were trampled, arms were flapping around everywhere and we were clinging to our cameras for dear life: in essence it was the perfect Jewish dance floor! Sometimes you just have to put yourself right in the centre of the action and for us this photograph sums up the pure joy and jubilation of that night – every face has an amazing expression and we love the framing as she (bravely) bounced ever closer, it’s an image that makes us smile every time we see it!”
