Wedding Photographer...Quality or Quantity?

 

Choosing the right Jewish wedding photographer is indeed crucial for capturing the essence of one of the most memorable days of your life. The moments unique to Jewish weddings, such as the Chupah and Badeken, require a photographer who not only understands the cultural and spiritual significance of these traditions but also has the creativity and technical skills to preserve them in a meaningful way.

It's easy to be swayed by packages promising a high number of images or multiple photographers, but it's far more important to prioritize the quality of the photographs. When the photographer's talent resonates with you, you'll have lasting memories that you’ll cherish forever. The photographs from these key moments will be the ones you return to year after year, and investing in a photographer whose work you love ensures that those memories are captured beautifully.

Looking beyond a photographer's portfolio to view full wedding albums is a great way to gauge their skill level, as you'll see how they document the entire event, from intimate details to larger, more dramatic moments. Understanding their ability to capture the flow and emotions of a wedding, particularly one with rich traditions like a Jewish ceremony, will give you confidence in your choice.

Remember, it's not just about the number of images, but about how those images make you feel. If you find a Jewish photographer you truly connect with, investing in their expertise will lead to a wedding album that tells the unique story of your day. And if certain extras like prints or albums aren’t part of your budget right away, you can always add them later.

In the end, your wedding photos will be the memories that last forever, so it's well worth it to choose a photographer whose artistry you trust to tell your story beautifully.

Jewish Wedding Drumroll…

Ladies and gentlemen,

Recently here at Mendel Meyers Studios, we have held a best photograph competition. Out of the best Jewish wedding photographs that we have we narrowed it down to a mere forty, and then left it to you to decide on a favorite. Now that the contest is over – it ended on the last day of January – we have a winner. It was a tight draw, but out of the many pictures voted on, the winner had more than one thousand votes (1008, to be exact). Ari & Shani Benedict with the Benedict Sipzner picture took the cake!

On behalf of everyone here at Mendel Meyers, let me offer my congratulations! Along with the pride and honor you have of being voted best photograph, you will receive a digital photo frame, which has your entire wedding already programmed onto it. Now you can display all of your memories from that unforgettable day.

And for those of you feel as though your photo should have won, don’t worry, there’s always next year. Thanks to everyone who participated, we couldn’t have done it without you. Check back in on our blog for more updates and prizes and remember, for your kosher wedding, there’s no substitute for Mendel Meyers.
