Wedding Photography...Quality or Quantity?


The importance of choosing the right Jewish wedding photographer can sometimes be overlooked. When choosing a photographer to photograph your special day and capturing those moments that are unique only to Jewish weddings, think quality as opposed to quantity.

You really want to choose a photographer based on the talent, creativity and artistic abilities you admire.


Some people will mistakenly choose a photographer based on the quantity of images that are delivered. At the end of the day if you are not happy with, for example, the photographs taken at your Chupah then it won’t matter how many of those images you have. It is better to hire one great photographer that you love than go with a company that promises you more pictures or more photographers.
Invest in a photographer whose images you are excited about, instead of paying for a package based on price alone.

If you choose the photographer you love, and pay for their talent to photograph your wedding, you will always have that foundation of great photographs. If you cannot afford a package with all the extras such as prints and albums, you can always go back and order the extras later, as you still have that set of beautiful images to work with.

When you are shopping for a Jewish wedding photographer, remember to also ask to see albums from several different weddings. You want to see beyond a photographers portfolio showcasing 20 to 30 of their best images. You should get a feel for their style but also skill level in capturing those very important moments that are unique to Jewish weddings, for example, the Chupah and Badeken.

This will be one of the most memorable days of your life. If it is the only time in your life that you splurge and do what you want, then do it when choosing your wedding photographer!

As a Filipina it's interesting to learn that Ketubah is like a marriage of love and fine art wherein every detail can be a symbol that has its own meaning. Because of its ancient and venerable history, custom Ketubah has its place as an important form of Jewish ceremonial art throughout time.
