‘The look in her eyes’ by Ronen Boidek

I love black and white photos in general, but this photo in particular I love for many reasons. The low depth of field brings you into the photo and the emotion of the moment. I love the look in her eyes, and how the sharpness of her face stands out in contrast to the softness of the background..”

‘Vows’ by Daniel Là³pez Pà©rez Photography

This is an image of a recent wedding that we shot in Winter Park, Colorado, a beautiful Jewish ceremony in the mountains. The groom is actually a really good friend of mine, so this wedding has an extra special meaning for me. My friend is not Jewish, but his wife is, so they decided to make their own chuppah for their DIY wedding in the mountains.  Anyway, his vows were so beautifully written and heart-felt, as you can see by his face in the photo. Literally after he finished his vows, his future-wife said ‘I should have gone first, that was hard to follow.”

‘Eyes’ by  Michael Temchine

Picking a favourite photo out of the tens of thousands that I have taken is not a simple task. On any given day it will likely change. But I always come back to this photo taken under the chuppah at Sarah and Meir’s wedding. It simply grabs you and holds you.

Like many orthodox, or frum, weddings the chuppah was packed with people and moving around was difficult at best. Finding an angle that would put Sarah and Meir’s faces both in the frame was nigh impossible. Being able to find those fleeting moments that tell the story and have them composed in a way that supported the meaning of the moment was like winning the lottery. It took a lot of small adjustments to get everything right on my end as I prayed Sarah would give him that little look.

I simply love that all of the elements in this photo return you to those eyes. It is simple, direct, and the perfect moment.“

‘Tribeca Rooftop’ by STAK  photography

This photo is from Emily and Jon’s wedding at Tribeca Rooftop. They spent a large part of their relationship doing long distance, so I wanted a photograph that symbolised how the wedding day was here and brought them together again.  So in this photo, I was able to see the couple and get a reflection of their venue, Tribeca Rooftop, all into the same shot.  I love the way Jon is holding her, and how Emily is reaching back grabbing his hands. The connection is real, and you can feel it in the photo.”

‘Joy’ by  onelove photography

This was taken in 2012, and I still come back to it. From the start, Ali and Andy are a couple that have this sparky, excitable energy between the them. Playful and sarcastic, laughing constantly. Their wedding was one for the books, a really stunner of a location at Nestldown in Northern California. However, everything about their wedding was about JOY. So much joy was shared, the families were relaxed and beaming with happiness, and they even had an 80’s cover band for their reception entertainment. This moment, captured right after they were pronounced as married, encapsulates their energy and their essence together.”
