There are some weddings that radiate elegance, love, and a sense of timeless beauty, and Daniela and Yosef's wedding at The Majestic in Downtown Los Angeles was one of those truly magical events. From the moment the festivities began, every detail spoke to the couple's impeccable taste and their deep connection to each other.
The Venue: The Majestic in Downtown LA
Nestled in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, The Majestic is a historic venue that lives up to its name. With its grand architecture, high ceilings, and ornate detailing, the space exudes old Hollywood glamour. Daniela and Yosef's choice of this iconic venue set the tone for a wedding that blended modern sophistication with timeless charm. The warm glow of chandeliers illuminated the space, creating an intimate yet regal ambiance for their special day.
The Ceremony: A Celebration of Love
Daniela and Yosef’s ceremony was nothing short of breathtaking. The aisle was lined with lush florals in soft whites and greenery, perfectly complementing the natural elegance of The Majestic. As the couple exchanged vows, there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. Their heartfelt words and the serene atmosphere made the moment feel deeply personal and unforgettable.
The Reception: A Night to Remember
The reception was a feast for the senses. Guests were treated to a stunning display of decor, featuring sophisticated tablescapes adorned with gold accents, candles, and more floral arrangements that added a touch of romance. The couple’s first dance took place under the grand chandelier, a moment that seemed almost cinematic. Friends and family joined in, filling the dance floor with joy and celebration.
The catering showcased an array of delicious dishes, reflecting both the couple’s refined tastes and their love for sharing meaningful experiences with their guests. Every detail, from the live music to the thoughtfully curated menu, made the evening feel like a reflection of Daniela and Yosef’s shared journey.
The Photography: Capturing the Magic
As a photographer, events like Daniela and Yosef’s wedding are a dream. The Majestic’s rich textures, grand columns, and dramatic lighting provided the perfect backdrop for capturing every meaningful glance and tender moment. From the couple’s emotional first look to the laughter and energy on the dance floor, every frame told a story of love and celebration.
The Downtown Los Angeles skyline also played a starring role in the photography. Urban backdrops brought a modern edge to their wedding portraits, while the charm of The Majestic highlighted their timeless style. These photos are a testament to the beauty of blending old and new, much like Daniela and Yosef’s wedding itself.

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!
The Couple - Farrah & Sharone
Location - Hyatt Regency Westlake
Date - 9/2/18
*
we started our day with our lovely bride at the Hyatt Regency Westlake hotel early in the morning,
She was getting her hair and makeup done,
We knew she could not wait for the moment he sees her, all in white and ready for their special day!
Then the big moment came, it was time to for them to meet and start celebrating together their marriage.
Farrah and Sharone could not take their eyes off each other!
While guests were still partying inside,
Farrah & Sharone decided they wanted their special day to be memorable-
So they took the party outside and jumped into the pool, inspiring their guests to join in after them!
The love of this amazing couple was very inspiring and touched our hearts.
They KNOW how to have fun!
The Couple - Sarah & Jordan
Location - Seventh Place (Downtown)
Date - 8/12/18
*
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!
The Couple - Raz & Opal
Location - Allure Events & Catering
Date - 1/17/19
*
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!
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 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.

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.
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!
It is known that if you have a man that can make you smile, laugh, and be a friend when you need him most, then he is a keeper. If he can cook, you marry him right away!!! Alex & Dotan you guys are awesome, we love you both - thank you for allowing us to be apart of your special day. Being around you guys on this day was super fun. Big Shout out to Deborah of (https://www.facebook.com/DeborahKDesigns) thank you for being incredible to work with before, during & after the event, a great pleasure working with you.

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. ;)

Yes, to pet friendly engagement sessions! Go Bella! This engagement session took place during the sunset hour, the sun glowed through the trees keeping us warm, the breeze was simply perfect. It seemed like this meadow was created just for Leana & Nathan showing the world how truly in love they are.
We are looking forward to an absolutely beautiful wedding in beautiful Malibu!
The magical essence of the flowers & breeze of Malibu Beach greeted this beautiful couple with lots of love & warmth. Not only did the whole crew do an amazing job, but the glow of these two love birds, Pauline & Russ, enhanced the atmosphere and the positive feelings that lasted the whole day.
It was such an incredible privilege to be a part of one of the greatest celebrations I have ever experienced, the setting & decor was perfect thanks to Debora of http://www.deborahkdesigns.com, the bride was gorgeous more than ever thanks to Jessica of http://www.jessicascharfmakeup.com.

One of our favorite Engagement sessions to date! This session took place in Westwood Ca. we had an amazing & fun time photographing Shayla & Kevin! The style of this e-session was a mix of rustic & vibrance. Our couples are always the center of attention during our engagement shoots, it is important to us that they look and feel their very best, we want our couples to glow.
Rachel & Joshua met back in Israel during their year abroad in '09/'10. They met through mutual friends at an event in Jerusalem, as soon as Joshua saw Rachel he knew he would marry her. Since then, they have come along way and have built a strong relationship based on trust, love, and mutual respect. December 12th, 2014 Joshua proposed to Rachel in a small restaurant in New York City, Joshua set up canvas pictures all around Talia's Steakhouse & Bar, he played the piano as Rachel walked in; moments later Joshua would get on one knee and ask Rachel, "Will you marry me?"

We were lucky enough to spend a good amount of time with our couple before their wedding day. Not only did we have the honor of photographing Janet & Noam's wedding, but we also had the opportunity to photograph them before hand you can see their engagement photos here > http://www.shimmyphotography.com/blog/2013/9/malibu-engagement-pictures & video slideshow here http://youtu.be/SxcIUnfUE8Y.
Janet & Noam have hearts of gold, we are so happy we had the privilege of being apart of their special day, and happy to call them our friends. Enjoy these images from their awesome wedding down in Marina Del Rey!
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...

These wedding pictures were taken at the beautiful Annenberg Community Beach House in Santa Monica. I had the pleasure & honor to photograph Jenny & Opi's Special Wedding day. These two newlyweds share a passion for one another that is so strong, and so special. Please enjoy these photos and leave a comment at the end!
Gorgeous Aryn and her lovely fiancé Anthony had their engagement session this past Wednesday. These two love birds woke up pretty early to a foggy and mystic morning at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. It felt as if we were inside of a cloud, the perfect lighting every photographer could wish for. This engagement session was meant to be absolutely perfect.
Even the crowd could not have missed the love in the air.
The sun started to shine on us and the view became more breathtaking.
It was a magical day July 30th 2013. The breathtaking bride Tehilla and the loving groom Elisha were preparing for their wedding day. You could feel Elisha's excitement to be wed just by being around him; let alone Tehilla whom was beyond thrilled to finally see and be with Elisha after not seeing each other for days before. Their excitement and love they shared was seen throughout their wedding day on the faces of their family, and friends.

Malibu in the summer time is where you want to be! This engagement session with Abigail and Peyman was nothing less then fun, corky, and whimsical! We decided to shoot their engagement photos at Escondio trails. The scenery was too perfect to give up. Abigail and Peyman are perfect for each other, it was such a pleasure and honor to work with them and take their engagement photos.
Scroll down to see some of our favorite images:
It is known that Poulsbo is a city on Liberty Bay in Kitsap County, Washington, United States. It is the fourth largest city in Kitsap County and one of the main suburbs of Seattle in the Kitsap area. This suburb is only 4.5 square miles in area, this would be the perfect spot where the family and friends would come to celebrate the Wedding of Avishag Levin, and Chaim Cowen. The scenery was so deep and so amazing, trees surrounded us everywhere, the wedding venue and ceremony took place lakeside. The breeze was perfect, and smelled fresh, the colors of the sunset were breathtaking. Almost as breathtaking as the look Chaim and Avishag shared whenever they looked at each other. Maybe I was the only one to see it, maybe not, but when ever these two glanced at each other, I could see the that these two share something very special.
Our morning started in Seattle were Avishag would get her make-up done. From there we took the ferry over to Pouslbo where the Party was soon to begin!

Jessica & her fiancé Mendy are two very good friends of mine, when I first spoke to Jessica over the phone she told me that she was looking for a rustic style engagement shoot, something different. Friday, May 31st turned out to be a hot day, we were able to find some shade on the other side of the hill, where the air was fresh, and the breeze seemed to be endless.
Thursday, May 23rd 2013 at 6:00 in the morning, Ely put his tefillen on as a Bar Mitzvah boy. His father Michael accompanied him evey step of the way, helping him put his tefillen, and tallit on. His mother Regina watched upstairs, with great emotion, accompanied by her mother who flew in all the way from Israel to see her grandson become a Bar Mitzvah. The men in the shul were exited and happy for Ely, and I'm sure were thinking about what a great breakfast awaits after davening. Before Ely stepped infront of the torah to start reading, I could see in his face without a doubt he was ready...
The words I would choose to sum up Natalie & Kfir would be these ones: Romantic, Serious, Outgoing, and Big Hearted. When I first met with Natalie and Kfir, I didn't know what to expect. I knew they wanted me photograph their wedding, and soon as I began to understand what they were looking for as far as photographs go, I knew I could give them exactly that and more. They told me they want photographs that would define who they are. They told me they want photographs that are artistic and different. So, thats what we gave them. When I gave them their photos and their albums for the first time, they began to break down, and cry. I was shocked and didn't know what to do, but that was okay. They turned to me and said, "These are unbelievable." I didn't know what to say and got a little teary eyed, they then spent a few more minutes with me, thanked me, and left. I know I will be seeing them again in the future.
I would now like to share these exact wedding images with you. I hope you like them too!

We met up with the Kahn Family in Malibu mid afternoon, there would be no better place for their family portraits. The Kahn family were so down to Earth the entire shoot. Taylor, and Jeremy are such great parents, their boys were so well behaved, they are adorable and a true pleasure to photograph. This beach that we chose was nothing less then dreamy, and perfect. The waves, sky, breeze, and rocky terrain made this location a winner, and a spot we will most definitely return to.
Spending the day with Corinne & Adam was nothing less then special. They both have magnificent personalities, and are truly perfect for one another. This past Monday was absolutely magnificent for engagement photos! The skies were blue, and the weather was warm (pretty much a typical day in La.) We started our day at Pan Pacific Park, we had a lot of open space, and really got to show off our couples freeness, a perfect location for our couple to relax and really enjoy the outdoors. Afterwards, we made our way to the Farmers Market at the Grove. This location really complimented our couple well. Corinne grew up visiting this exact farmers market, and to this day still visits with Adam. We couldn't finish the day without going to LACMA museum, I knew that here we would have some great opportunities to get some artistic shots, and I knew the light would be fun to play with. If I could some up the day in a few words, then I would use these ones, "It was perfect."
Corinne & Adam, really did a fantastic job, and I am so glad I had the opportunity to photograph these two during their most special moments. Pease take a look at some of the images we created.
Susie and Noam are nothing less then a fun, outgoing, elegant couple.
I cannot say that they do not do their share of arguing, but I could easily say that the laughter makes up for it.
They both have such great character and personality, that you could easily tell by spending some time with them.
Being with them for the day I saw the passion they share for one another, they have that special bond that will last forever.
The day started at LACMA which was nothing less then fun, and special. Afterwards we went to the Walt Disney
Concert hall, where we had a perfect view of how elegant they really are.
Together they are perfect, you could really tell by being with them or by looking at their photographs.
We could not finish our photo session without visiting the Art District downtown. It was an unforgettable experience. The skies were blue, the sun was shining, and on occasion the breeze was perfect, here Noam and Susie got a chance to show off their artsy, and free spirited sides.
These locations were absolutely perfect for our couple, it showed off their beauty, personality, and true connection to their roots .
Noam and Susie first met in a summer camp in Los Angeles when Susie was only 14 years old. Susie must have felt something really special when she saw Noam for the first time and I bet Noam knew right then Susie will be his, forever.
There are not too many people out there that can say they fell in love at first sight, who would have thought that 10 years later these two will be wed.
Thank you Susie and Noam for giving me the honor, and pleasure of photographing
you two together. You both are truly perfect for each other.

The 10 Most Important Aspects Of Photography
When a person speaks about photography it is truly hard to define what is behind the art/business. I want to share my experience with you so that you may have a better understanding of photography through my eyes.
- Photography is about Connection. Connection with the client, model, or subject. The differences are all in the photographs.
- Photography demands the Ability to produce, give it 110% and nothing less. The photographs will thank you.
- When looking at photographs it should be more than just colors, and shapes. What makes a photograph come to life is Emotion. That’s what people remember them by.
- Correctly exposed photographs will give a 3D effect and the subject will really pop from the background. Correct Exposure can be achieved by shooting manually.
- It is important for the photographer to Love what they shooting. There are so many different types of photography it is important to find your niche, and love it.
- Sometimes you must wait. Patience will pay off. Being patient enough will allow you to capture that special moment, or scene. Believe me, it is worth it.
- Photographs are all about Creativity. Don’t forget you can always change your camera angels. It always surprises me how much different a shot can be. Try it.
- There are thousands of different ways to light up a scene. Lighting can make amazing photographs. Light can be controlled.
- When it comes to photography Equipment makes a difference. Wide angle, telephoto, and macro lenses will give different types of images.
- Photography is such a broad hobby/business. What makes you Unique from everything, or everyone else? Show personality, photographs, and the way you work with clients.
It all makes a difference.
