The Couple - Sarit and Joseph's

Location/venue - Eretz Cultural Center

Date - 7/29/19

Our lovely bride, Sarit, was almost ready for her big day when her groom pulled up the venue,
ready and excited to meet his wife-to-be.

We were waiting with him in the hallway,
capturing the very few moments before he sees her in her gown for the first time.

The excitement was visible across his face.
The moment they met face to face we knew they were meant to be together forever.
They couldn't take their eyes off each other, uncontrollably smiling, excited to walk down the aisle.

Hand in hand, they walked in to welcome their guests
who had been anxiously waiting to see the bride and groom in their debut.

After their ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests partied all night to ring in the celebration!

A REKINDLED FLAME

The Couple - Sarah & Jordan

Location - Seventh Place (Downtown)

The love story of Sarah & Jordan touched our souls in a special way.
When our bride, Sarah, was walking down the aisle you could see the happiness through her eyes,
Her groom, Jordan- was looking at her with sparkle and excitement.

You could tell they've been waiting for this moment,
and when the ceremony started we realized how much!
Their love story began over 10 years ago, in their early 20's.
a couple years ago, they crossed paths again,
This time, they knew for sure.

They found each other and they knew they were meant to be in each other's lives forever!

When we met our bride, Opal, at the "Hilton" hotel in Canoga Park,
It was a rainy day outside and the day started off very relaxed.
Little did we know about the party in store for us later that day!
Getting her makeup and hair done flawlessly, Opal was ready to start the day she's been waiting for-
Her wedding day.

The groom, Raz, was already in his car outside waiting to pick her up. We know he couldn't wait to place his eyes on his beautiful bride.
When they finally met, we saw the sparks fly!

A GIFT SENT FROM ABOVE.

The Couple - Bar & Shalev

Location - Allure Events & Catering

Date - 04/12/19

The day with our lovely couple started in the Woodland Hills "Hilton" Hotel. It was a sunny, bright day outside.

Our bride, Bar, was getting ready with the perfect look for her biggest day in her life so far!
With a Chanel perfume, a white lace dress, and a stunning make up look, you could feel her excitement and joy,
Making finishing touches to her look she took a few minutes for a prayer, to start off the day her own way.
Our groom, Shalev, was already on the way to meet his wife-to-be!

As they were about to meet, the song leading them to each other was "Kulana" by the Israeli artist- Maor Edri.
In the song he says,

"ever since I met you, I wrote a song to the rhythm,
like the sun to the ocean I fell in love with you,
god sent me a gift.

In front of everyone I swear that forever is only me and you."

You could feel through the camera the happiness when they took the first looks at each other.
they were hugging, kissing and smiling, ready for their wedding day to start.

Oh, and what a day it was!
Happy to share these pictures and moments we had with them through their day and their party that went on, and on, and on....

Pnina & Moshe: San Francisco Wedding Pictures

(Los Angeles & Destination Wedding Photographer) — Thu, 14 May 2015 23:45:00 GMT

Pnina and Moshe were an absolute pleasure to work with, they brought love and laughter with them from the moment we met. Working with couples that are so in love is the best part of the job. Seeing people that love each other as much as Penina and Moshe do makes me so appreciative for the opportunity to be around them, let alone take their pictures. We have taken some truly one-of-a-kind shots due to their cooperation and one-of-a-kind personalities. This fun-loving and dedicated couple really taught me a lesson about what love can and should be. I hope to get more couples like this in the future, because seeing love like this blows my mind.

Moshe was an extremely considerate host. He has such a warm personality, he makes the people around him feel at home and at ease. Penina was such an easy-going bride, so adventurous and so much fun to be around. They didn't make me feel like just another photographer, they made me feel like family.

When I see the way that Moshe looks at Penina I have to admit that even I get a bit jittery inside. Seeing the way that Penina kisses Moshe gives me butterflies. In short, this is the couple that everyone should aspire to be, best friends till the very end.

When I see a couple this happy to be around each other I am inspired to take the best pictures I could.

HAYLEY + ELI: WEDDING AT THE GREEN TREE COUNTRY CLUB / NEW ROCHELLE, NY

(Los Angeles & Destination Wedding Photographer) — Sun, 12 Oct 2014 19:59:16 GMT

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE photographing weddings, especially this one! The Green Tree County Club was the perfect venue for the Hoffman + Creeger wedding. Hayley was so happy and looked perfect. Eli had this great big smile on his face, you could not help but to smile along with him. This family affair was nothing less then extraordinary. Every detail of this wedding was planned with such precision from the wedding dress to the sunglasses by the ceremony, the custom made straws, and the rocks (from Malibu) place seating. This Hoffman + Creeger wedding was a total blast!

Congratulations guys, enjoy your honeymoon in Europe!!

Big thank you to Chaim Schvarcz for second shooting along side me all day, and our assistants Chaya Eckstein, and Tzvi Perlow.

ARMINE + OMER: WEDDING AT SPORTSMAN'S LODGE STUDIO CITY, CA.

(Los Angeles & Destination Wedding Photographer) — Sun, 14 Sep 2014 22:54:00 GMT

This wedding of ARMINE + OMER was truly a unique and beautiful celebration. A nice and warm day started at Amy's parents home where she begun her hair, makeup, and prep. Her family set up the home beautifully with decorations, snacks and champagne. Her bride's maids and flower girl where there by her side to show their support and love. A few portraits were taken of ARMINE before heading out to the venue which was the Sportsman's lodge in Studio City. Did I mention ARMINE's mother had a surprise limo to take them there, SUPER COOL! Everyone got settled in the hotel room before getting ready for the ceremony. There ceremony was a mix of traditions from both sides of the family to make this a very unique and intimate experience. After the ceremony we had some time to have a quick photo-shoot with the bride, groom and the whole bridal party. After the shoot we had a grand entrance! ARMINE had her first dance with her new hubby OMER, then with her father. A very intimate moment for everyone.

See you around, and enjoy the photos!

YAFIT + ERAN: WEDDING AT THE OLD CANYON RANCH/ WOODLAND HILLS, CA.

(Los Angeles & Destination Wedding Photographer) — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 05:22:00 GMT

I have seen many weddings in my lifetime being a wedding photographer kinda required me to be in this position, but i have never seen / photographed a wedding that resembled this type of wedding. Outdoors, BLUE skies Beautiful colors and the main factor that made this wedding more special and unique than ever was the dreamy atmosphere that luckily was captured :) The wedding was simply dreamy like an old good fairy tale. I felt like I was capturing moments straight out of a novel or even movie. Not to mention that the beautiful bride Yafit looked like a real princess and the one thing that was missing was her groom Eran jumping off a tall white horse. ;)

Janet & Noam Malibu Engagement Pictures

(Los Angeles & Destination Wedding Photographer) — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 00:16:00 GMT

We knew that this engagement session would be a special and unique one, after waiting a few weeks, we had decided to go down to Solstice Canyon in Malibu. This location was a special one for Janet & Noam, and what is special to them is special to me. Solstice canyon was the perfect place for their engagement photos. Janet & Noam visit solstice canyon often, it is a place were they go to relax, hang out, and be themselves.

As soon as we arrived at the canyon we knew we were about to create something epic, and that's what we did. The greenery, and the ambience of the canyon was so fresh and so breathtaking, it was truly an honor to be there photographing this amazing couple.

After Solstice canyon it was time to go down to the sandy beach in Malibu where we were able to have some fun with the scenery, and incorporate the beautiful colors of the sunset. Janet & Noam share a very strong connection, which we can easily see by being around for even a few minutes, they are great people and a pleasure to be around, we are excited and are looking forward to their Yacht wedding in November...
