Photographer in Jordan - Elopement and Wedding in Petra

Wedding stories:

I am a photographer-ambassador of Aviasales in Jordan and know every stone there. I know all secret routes in Petra, all points in Wadi Rum and when will be better to do photoshoot at the Dead Sea.

Mostly, I work with elopement, wedding, engagement and blogger photoshoots, so I pay maximum attention to instagram locations. On my instagram by hashtag #notcake_jordan you can check fresh shots from Jordan and more wedding shots from different countries by hashtag #notcake_wedding. Also on instagram highlights there are a lot of funny and real time stories with couples, check it ;)

The most popular places for a photoshoot in Jordan:

The most popular Instagram spots for a photo shoot in Jordan are Petra and Wadi Rum.

Petra is what people come to Jordan for. In Petra, if you wish, you can take pictures for several days: wander along the endless paths and use the Treasury, the Monastery, the Royal Tombs and the landscapes around as a background.

Wadi Rum is an often underestimated place for an elopement photoshoot or any other kind of shooting. But the directors of Star Wars, Dune, Martian, Transformers, and many others do not just go here - Wadi Rum has a unique landscape. In my experience, couples like Wadi Rum even more than Petra. Stone bridges, endless landscapes with red sand, dunes, and the absence of crowds of tourists - it's wonderful.

In addition to Petra and Wadi Rum, I highlight 2 more places: the Dead Sea and Amman.

The Dead Sea is one of the most difficult and unpredictable places to shoot. If nothing changes in the desert over the years, then the Dead Sea can change beyond recognition in a couple of days of rain or sandstorms. If you want to take pictures with salt - you are definitely coming here. By the way, from the Israeli side, the Dead Sea is better suited for photo shoots and we also do photoshoots in Israel.

Amman is an anthill of people with its own atmosphere, it has a Citadel with a beautiful view of the city and white buildings.

F.A.Q.:

I always try to help with everything related to the shooting itself, make the schedule/timing, and give recommendations on the light and the optimal time for all the key moments of the day. I also help with shooting locations and, when relevant, share my location map. Important: before booking, I can give brief recommendations, but any itinerary and planning - only after the booking.

I also try to help with some organizational details. This does not mean that I will find you an officiant-climber who is ready to make a legal wedding ceremony in an ice cave (although I'm lying, for these guys I could find such an officiant ;) ), but I will make reasonable efforts to help make your day as unique as possible. I'm really crazy about it!

At the same time, we are not wedding planners, and for some issues, such as guest transfers, restaurant reservations, make-up artists, florists, and other tasks of this kind, it is better to use the services of a wedding planner.

Despite the fact that we try to plan the shooting day in advance, we are for naturalness, and minimally interfere in the process, we capture the best live moments. We will tell you what to do, fix your hair and correct your posture if something does not seem perfect to us, but the rest of the time we try to be inconspicuous.

We always have a spare camera on set. We duplicate photos on 2 cards and save photos in 2 places: on a physical hard drive and in cloud storage. We have never had a case where someone's footage was lost.
We can do photo shoot in Israel and Jordan together, check options on the Israel and Jordan page.

F.A.Q.:

Click to find out
For shooting raw/footage, where smooth movement without jerks is important, we use a gimbal. In those moments where it is important to show a sense of presence and greater mobility is needed, we shoot handheld. We use a drone in moments where it is important to show the scale and the landscape. Important: We only use drones where it is legal and makes sense.

When filming a highlights clip, we record important moments that could potentially be included in the clip, since its duration is 2-4 minutes. For example, we do not write down the entire speeches. We catch moments when newlyweds or guests laugh, something funny and unusual happens, which should be included in the highlights video. You can order recording of speeches separately and get this video as an additional file.

When filming a long movie (20-60 minutes), we film everything that happens, and also put a second camera on a tripod (if available) to record the ceremony. When shooting a movie and in the Diamond package, a full recording of the speeches is already included. Important: be sure to warn the videographer in advance when/where the speeches will be spoken so that he has time to turn on the sound and start recording the video.
