Ari & Melanie's Wedding: June 2, 2024An early summer wedding is always destined to be amazing, and this one certainly lived up to that expectation. I met Ari and Melanie at Beth Tzedec on the morning of their big day. The hustle and bustle had already begun. Part one: reveal the bride? Check. Photos with the bride and groom? Check. Pictures with parents and extended family? Check. With these formalities out of the way, we headed to the Bedeken, where the marriage certificate would be signed, sealed, and delivered—no turning back now. After wrapping up at the Bedeken, we moved into the ceremony. The crowd eagerly awaited the marriage procession, and a beautiful, warm ceremony unfolded before our eyes—truly spectacular. With the vows exchanged and the ceremony complete, everyone was understandably a bit hungry. Delicious hors d'oeuvres were passed around while the newlyweds enjoyed some private time before the wild celebration began. When the married couple made their entrance, the party kicked off with a bang. Jewish weddings are known for their boundless energy and creativity, and this one was no exception. Hoisting the bride and groom up on chairs, umbrellas, skipping ropes—nothing was too extravagant for these guys to […]

Alison & Edgar’s Wedding: August 6, 2023 What a lovely wedding celebrated by two wonderful people, on a beautiful day in early August at Petah Tikvah Synagogue. Alison & Edgar appear made for each other. From the initial getting dressed, to the signing, and the chuppah, and finally cutting the cake, these two kids here the highlight of the party, as they should be. The whole day was filled with a warm spirit and giddy excitement. What started out as two people hanging out with their own peeps, ended with everyone on stage singing with the band. Notwithstanding the 20 minute hora that required breaks to bring down the heat. Guys, this was a fantastic day, I wish you the best, and it was my pleasure to photograph you both. Mazel tov.

Aaron & Yasemin’s Wedding: September 18, 2022 I can’t think of a more delightful and wonderful way to spend a Sunday. This wedding of Aaron and Yasemin was so special, brought me to tears… tears of laughter, that is. We started things off a few weeks ago with an engagement photo shoot in the Alexander Muir park. I love this location for photos, so much variety, colour, and the sunsets at the perfect time. Fast forward a few weeks and I was parking at the Four Seasons Hotel ready for the wedding day. Upstairs I did go, checked in with Yasemin who was having a delightful time with bridesmaids and her people. Some photos there of the hair and make up, and I wandered down the hall to Aaron’s room. All we did was laugh, we did take some photos but there was way more laughing than photos. Hence the tears of laughter. Back and forth, until everything was ready and it was time for the big reveal. I’ve done many a reveal, this is the first one where I had Aaron chilling out on a chair. Needless to say, Yasemin looked spectacular with a capital S. The happy couple […]
