In general, this is entirely up to you. However, I usually begin work around 1 or 2 pm for the standard Israeli weekday wedding (naturally, if we are talking about a Friday or Shabbat, times may differ). At this point, the bride and groom are dressing, doing makeup and hair, and taking care of other pre-wedding primping. This is a great time to capture images of friends and family, wedding clothes, rings and other accessories, as well as the excitement of the day itself.

While I am always the main photographer, if your wedding is more than 180 guests I require a second photographer to assist me. Naturally, if we are dealing with an even larger event, I will need a ballpark headcount in order to give you a better idea of the size of team required.

Yes! First of all, if there is a wedding planner in the picture, I would like to be in touch with him or her. 

Whether or not there is a wedding planner, it is helpful to know which family members are attending, if there are any special circumstances (divorce or something along those lines) that might lead to different configurations of family in the photos, and of course, anything that is really important for me to catch - or that you don't want me to document (I am a pretty observant guy, but it's good to be on the safe side). 

Also, it is important to know more details about the wedding. Is it a religious wedding? Will you be seeing each other before? Will the dancing be separate? Is there going to be something special or out of the ordinary in the ceremony that I should know about? All these things will help me come amply prepared for my role and whatever other roles I need to assign my assistants. 

This depends largely on the location of your pre-wedding activities. I am well-versed in the best spots to get beautiful shots, and I will most likely have a few recommendations depending on where the hair/makeup/dressing take place. It is best to stay in close range of your venue so that a drive or a trek to the perfect view doesn't become an event in and of itself. Trust me, I get great results taking photos in barns and in the middle of nowhere; we will find something that is both convenient and aesthetically-pleasing.

Certainly! Get in touch, and I will be happy to give you a few of my favorites. 

Usually, the families I work with are from outside of Israel and prefer to receive the photos in print-quality either through online transfer or on a flash drive to print at home. If you opt for albums, they will be printed here in Israel and shipped to your home country. I offer a wide variety of high-quality, digital album choices that I will be happy to discuss with you in further detail over the phone or in person. 

Within 14 business days, you will receive a link to an online gallery with selected photos from your wedding, and within 45 business days you will receive all images (online or flash drive, according to your preference).
