Jewish Weddings in Manhattan: 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.

Manhattan is one of the largest cities in North America, home to roughly 1.5 million people. We cover Jewish wedding events at wedding and reception venues across the area, from The Rainbow Room, Gotham Hall and The Pierre to private homes, restaurants and community halls.

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 Manhattan 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 Manhattan costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.
