What are your memories worth? | Jewish Wedding Photography

It’s obviously an integral part of our work. We’re clearly dealing with it all the time, but it’s been on my mind more than usual lately. What are your memories worth? How much should you invest in your photography, which lasts a lifetime?

Your wedding is one of the most costly endeavors you take on as a couple, until you marry off your own children and make iy”H many more weddings. We know they’re expensive, and we’re not about to fool anyone into thinking that hiring us will help you fulfill your perfect-wedding-that-didn’t-cost-a-dime dream.

But I’m writing to bring up what we as a couple, think is important in the whole engagement to wedding to marriage beginning. The diamond, and the wedding photography. They are inherently valued, and last forever. The hall is forgotten, the food digested, and the flowers wilt, but your wedding images will be something you can enjoy throughout your years together. Of course, I am not saying that the other aspects of a wedding do not enhance the simcha and pleasure of a wedding. They also enhance your images! However, we understand that it isn’t uncommon to be on a budget, and that some  may need to make a cut here or there. Don’t make it photography. Cut your budget somewhere else. You know what our clients on a budget tell us? They say, “We want to hire you because even though we can’t afford more now, we want to be able to invest in more [products] later. If we get everything now at a price we can afford, we won’t have the quality to work with that we’ll have if we hire you.”

All this is coming from the perspective of a husband and wife who have about 3-5 (actual figures) images that we’re happy with from our own wedding, see my blog post on “What I would have done differently for {my Wedding}”. It’s only one day, and the images are what you have left to tell of it.

But that’s just our opinion. Make your choice by visiting www.laibelschwartz.com.

All my best,

Kushner Cobras Preview | Jewish Photographer

It was a close game last night, as we shot each move of every player…waiting to see the outcome. All of a sudden it’s the end of the seventh inning with the opposing team up to bat, with two outs and two strikes on the batter at home plate. Wait, get ready, go! go! We’ve won! The male part of our crew ran into the field to catch the excitement that built up in those boys, game after game as they got closer the the championship. Here is a sneak preview of the images, which we hope to post to our Client Access page later this week. The images will be available for purchase directly through our website once they’re up. Please stay posted for more information on the video, which will be available for purchase as well.

Good game guys!

Note: We are currently editing the images and loading them onto our Client Access page. Please be patient while they upload, it will happen soon iy”H. Thanks!
