Bar Mitzvah Photographer in Israel

Write to us if you need to clarify any details personally. Please note the date and place you are interested in, and write a few words about the shooting you want to do: this way we can answer you with as many details as possible without asking many questions. The fastest way to get in touch is WhatsApp. You can also leave a request on the site - usually, we respond to requests on the site at night.

Decide on a specific date-time and book it. To book the date, we always take a deposit and sign a contract for photography remotely: you don't need to print anything, you can sign it from your phone or computer in 2 clicks. Making a deposit means agreement with the contract. In some cases, we can prebook the date for you for 1-2 days, but until we get the deposit and the contract, the date is free.

The photoshoot takes place on the appointed day. When the photos are ready (up to 1 month after the photoshoot), we send a link to the cloud gallery. It is convenient and comfortable to watch both from a computer and from a phone, and you can download photos with one click. We send photos in full resolution, without reducing the quality, so the entire gallery can take up quite a lot of space. Also, we recommend you save photos to your devices: despite the fact that we store photos from all our shootings, the gallery may be deleted after 2 months, and photos may be lost.

The total price consists of the cost of the shooting, the travel fee, and additional options.

For example, you want to book the Tel Aviv 1-hour package in Jerusalem one month in advance - before the date. It will turn out photoshoot shooting, travel fee to Jerusalem, and early booking fee.

In some cases, it is more reasonable to choose the Smart package and other in this case to skip early booking fee or/and to make a travel fee lower. Or, if you don't have a fixed date, just book 2 weeks in advance - in this case, there won't be extra charge for the early booking.

We work a lot with weddings and abroad - in Iceland, Jordan and other countries. We give priority to full-day shootings, and by booking short photography packages for a specific date in advance, we forego any other shootings on that day. Moving a wedding or an elopement to another date is much more difficult than moving a short photoshoot :)

We open bookings for short sessions closer to the photoshoot date:

• For the Tel Aviv package (1 hour) – booking opens 3 weeks before the shoot date. You can also book 2 months in advance by adding +400 shekels.
• For the Smart package (2.5 hours) – booking opens 1.5 months before the shoot date. You can also book 4 months in advance with an extra +400 shekels.

So, if you want to book a short session well in advance, here are 3 options:

1. Wait until bookings open for short sessions and contact us closer to your shoot date. You can also ask me to make a note in my calendar, and I’ll try to reach out when bookings open - especially helpful if your date is flexible. We have a few photographers on the team, so even during busy seasons, we usually find open spots. :)
2. Use the early booking option by paying the additional +400 shekels to book 1.5–4 months in advance.
3. Choose a package from Standard (4 hours) and longer - these don’t have booking limits and can be reserved for any future date. This is the easiest way to lock in your date well in advance.

In practice, we try to send photos as early as possible and often send photos after a week or two.

At the same time, in the contract, we have a period of up to a month with the possibility of delaying processing during the highest season (May-October) up to 2 weeks. This is because we shoot a lot abroad and during the wedding or vacation seasons there can be a very high workload. Also, we try to edit photos at home, with two monitors - this way it turns out better than on a laptop.

If it is critical for you to get photos faster, you can check our workload (we do not guarantee that we will send photos before the specified time), or speed up editing:
+10% for guaranteed processing up to a week after shooting;
+25% for guaranteed processing up to 3 days after shooting.

We are fans of sunset light and clouds.
Since there are practically no clouds in Israel most of the time, especially in summer, we recommend doing shootings at sunset to get guaranteed perfect light: to make it comfortable to open your eyes, not to be hot, and to get beautiful diffused light.

You can choose absolutely any time for shooting, this is only our recommendation.

We follow legal restrictions on flying drones. We do not fly in NoFly zones - these are quite large zones around all airports (for example, the zone from Ben Gurion Airport affects most of Tel Aviv), including military airports and bases. The whole old part of Jerusalem and, in general, most of Jerusalem, all areas of the national parks. Also, we do not fly over crowds of people, even small ones.

If you follow the restrictions very strictly, almost any shooting in the residential area is prohibited, but in practice, there may be exceptions. If flying is possible and makes sense, we try to use a drone.
