Win your wedding photography by award-winning Jewish wedding photographer, Claudine Hartzel

12/02/2016 by Karen

Claudine-Hartzel
For those of you who are yet to book  your wedding photographer, today’s blog post is especially for you. Oh yes, today’s your lucky days as I’m thrilled to be partnering with  Jewish wedding photographer extraordinaire  Claudine Hartzel  to give one engaged-to-be-married couple completely FREE wedding photography! Let the celebrations begin!

I featured Claudine’s photography in one of the first real weddings I ever blogged back in 2013 and I’ve been smitten with her work  ever since (and have blogged her  images many times over too!). A soon as I discovered her talents, I quickly snapped her up as a Smashing Supplier and having met her as well, I’m genuinely lucky to call her a friend as well as a much-loved industry colleague.

Based in East London, but shooting weddings throughout the UK and beyond, Claudine captures weddings beautifully and naturally, using fashion, reportage and still life photography.

Claudine is herself Jewish, and has photographed many Jewish  weddings — check out her fabulous Jewish wedding portfolio here) so you  can only imagine how thrilled I was when she told me she wanted to give away  a completely FREE  wedding package together with an engagement shoot in London, to one couple anywhere in the world! If you’re getting married before next October  2017 and you haven’t organised  your photographer yet, then today is most definitely a  fortuitous day!

Even if you’re not fortunate  enough to win, Claudine  would like to offer every couple that enters 10% off their wedding photography if you then decide to go on and hire her.

Scroll down to read more about the prize and how to enter, and be sure to check out more of Claudine’s  work at Claudine Hartzel Photography.

Why Claudine  would love to shoot  your wedding

I have photographed many Jewish weddings and absolutely love the  Smashing The Glass  blog. It’s an inspiration to many brides and grooms about to embark on their special day.. and to me, too! I want to be part of that inspiration, and I want to give  couples the benefit of my ideas, passion, and professionalism.”

Claudine’s working process

I love the artist Edward Hopper and, even throughout my years as an artist, light has always been at the forefront of my work.

I find myself looking to old French films, contemporary artists and some of the great photographers to keep my mind fresh and inspired. I do not want to continually repeat the same images — my job is constantly evolving with the help of my clients’ own inspirations and personalities. I love this aspect of my work.

It’s also important to be open to ideas at every wedding, as no two events are the same, even though they may follow the same structure. This enables me to truthfully represent the original atmosphere and experiences of my clients with my own unique style.”
