MacroSnaps in Indianola
Jewish Weddings in Indianola: photography & video
A Jewish wedding moves through a sequence of rituals that each happen once and quickly: the tish and the bedeken, the ketubah signing, the chuppah with the seven blessings and the breaking of the glass, then a reception that often starts with the hora and chairs in the air. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers follow that order closely, so the moments you have planned for months are in place in your gallery.
Indianola is a community in Iowa, home to roughly 15,000 people. We cover Jewish wedding events in banquet halls, hotels, places of worship, restaurants and private homes throughout Indianola and nearby Norwalk and Des Moines.
Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and secular weddings differ in their customs, and we ask about yours in advance. We work with your rabbi on where we can stand under and around the chuppah, respect the privacy of yichud, and plan around a mechitza and separate dancing where there is one. For weddings close to Shabbat or a holiday, we schedule portraits and coverage so nothing is photographed when you would prefer it not to be.
For a typical Jewish wedding, clients in Indianola book about 7 hours of photography ($850) and 6 hours of videography ($1,300). Photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour; videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour, with a 2-hour minimum. The first-hour price includes travel, so Indianola costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.
What we capture
Key moments we photograph and film in Indianola
Tish and kabbalat panim
The groom's table with singing and the l'chaim, and the bride's reception with family and friends, covered in both rooms where we have two shooters.
Ketubah signing
The rabbi, the witnesses and the couple with the ketubah, photographed closely so the text and artwork are part of the story.
Bedeken
The groom lowering the veil over the bride, often accompanied by singing and blessings from parents, a short and emotional moment.
Chuppah and the circling
The processional, the bride circling the groom, the rings and the reading of the ketubah, photographed from positions agreed with your rabbi.
Seven blessings and breaking the glass
The sheva brachot recited by honored guests, and the breaking of the glass with the room's shout of mazel tov.
Yichud
We give the couple their private time together and photograph them as they leave the room, along with portraits afterward if you like.
Hora and chairs
The circle dancing and chair lifts for the couple and parents, with the mezinke for parents marrying off their last child, and the shtick and entertainment for the couple.
Family portraits and details
Group photos with both families, plus the ketubah, kippot, the chuppah, the tallit and the décor, photographed before guests arrive.

Planning tips
Planning your coverage in Indianola
Check the date against Shabbat and holidays
If your wedding is on a Saturday night or near a holiday, tell us when Shabbat or the holiday ends. We plan the schedule so portraits and coverage start only when you are comfortable.
Decide on a first look or pre-ceremony portraits
Many couples take portraits before the ceremony so the reception can start straight after the chuppah. Others wait until after yichud. Either works, but it changes how many hours to book.
Book from the tish to the dancing
Most Jewish weddings need 6 to 8 hours to cover the tish, ketubah, bedeken, chuppah and the first sets of dancing. Starting coverage at the ketubah signing usually means missing nothing important.
Add a second shooter for two rooms
The tish and the bride's reception happen at the same time, and men's and women's dancing may be on either side of a mechitza. A second photographer or videographer covers both.
Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive
