“My best Jewish wedding photo” by Kristian Leven

03/01/2016 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  Kristian Leven.

‘A portrait in the valley’ by Kristian Leven

One of the most amazing experiences I’ve had as a wedding photographer was being flown out to Israel, to photograph Katie and Lev’s Jewish wedding at Mitzpe Yericho, in the Samarian hills, just outside of Jerusalem towards the Dead Sea. As you know, Jewish weddings have a tendency to go into prolonged periods of 6th gear (!) so it was pretty special taking some time out and heading into the valley for a few quiet portraits.”

Save £1000’s on your wedding essentials with money saving offers exclusively for Smashing The Glass readers

01/01/2016 by Karen

Smash-and-grab
We’re into  2016, and to celebrate the New Year I want to tell you all about  ‘Smash & Grab’! These are my personally curated money saving  offers from some of the very best wedding vendors in the business  (believe me, I’m  incredibly  fussy about who I partner  with).

So below  you’ll find my exclusive collection  of discounts, exclusively  for Smashing The Glass readers, from photographers, videographers, planners, make up artists, DJ’s, bands, florists, wedding websites, and more! I suggest you  bookmark this page for speedy  reference, as many  of these offers expire in  February 2016 (some even sooner).

I’m a huge fan of  each and every one of the wedding vendors listed, and I have handpicked them for these offers, not only because  they love Jewish  weddings (and  know every little detail about them) but because they  are some of the most fabulous, creative, and talented  people you could ever wish to  work with.

To redeem any of the offers listed, simply quote SMASHING THE GLASS.

If there’s a supplier type you’re looking for that’s not listed, please email me at karen@smashingtheglass.com and I’ll help you in whatever way I can.

Happy wedding planning!
