Jewish Wedding Photographer in the French & Swiss Alps

From Geneva to Lyon, Chamonix to Annecy — profound, joyful, unforgettable moments under the Chuppah

Celebrate Your Tradition — Your Way

Weddings are sacred — not just because of the rituals, but because of the people who gather around you. As a Jewish wedding photographer with over a decade of experience, I don’t just document your simcha — I share it with you.

From Orthodox ceremonies with full mechitzah to joyful reform celebrations in nature, I’ve photographed more than 200 Jewish weddings across Switzerland, France, Israel, and beyond. I understand the depth, the variety, and the emotion behind the traditions — whether you’re dancing the hora at midnight in a snowy chalet or circling under the chuppah on a quiet lakeshore.

This isn’t just a job for me — it’s a privilege. A Jewish wedding represents a spiritual high point in your life. Whether you’re observant or simply honouring your heritage, I’m there to witness it, feel it, and preserve it — not just with technical skill, but with soul.

My wife and I had two Jewish wedding ceremonies — one intimate chuppah in the hills near Jerusalem, and a destination celebration in the Alps with loved ones flying in from the US, Israel, Russia, and the UK. Today, we’re raising our two little sons, Benjamin and Jonathan, here in the French Alps — living the beauty we once celebrated. That reverence and joy is what I bring to every wedding I photograph.

Local Expertise, Global Perspective

If you’re getting married in the Alps — you’ve chosen one of the most breathtaking backdrops in the world. From the snow-capped peak of Mont Blanc to the deep greens of Lac d’Annecy, the French and Swiss Alps offer something rare: raw nature, luxury venues, and intimate stillness — all at once.

I live between Geneva, Chamonix, and Lyon. I know the weather, the light, the seasons, the rhythm of this land. I’ve worked at top venues in Megève, Annecy, Lyon, Crans-Montana, and private estates tucked into the hills. Whether you’re planning a weekend celebration or a full destination experience, I’ll help you feel at home here.

I’m also a true bridge between cultures — fluent in Hebrew, Spanish, English, French, and some Russian. Your parents, your grandparents, your guests — I connect with them all, making everyone feel comfortable and seen.

Why Couples Trust Me

Trust is everything — especially on a day this emotional.
Here’s why families choose me:

• Over a decade of experience
• Personally Jewish — married under a chuppah myself
• Sensitive to all levels of observance and minhag
• Deep understanding of Jewish ritual and symbolism
• Based locally in the Alps — available across Switzerland, France & Israel
• Fluent in English, French, Hebrew, Spanish + some Russian
• Calm, discreet, emotionally attuned — never in the way, always present

“As many Jews as there are, that’s how many ways there are to celebrate. Whether you’re honouring your grandparents’ traditions or creating your own, I’ll be there — with a camera and with heart.”

More Than a Wedding — A Legacy

What you’re creating isn’t just a wedding — it’s a legacy. Your children will look at these photos someday. Your grandparents might be dancing in them. Your guests — the people you’ve loved your whole life — will be smiling in the background.

That’s what I capture: not just how it looked, but what it felt like. From the glass breaking under the chuppah to your parents holding back tears, to the quiet in your eyes when you see each other for the first time. These are your forever moments. This is your story — and it deserves to be told with elegance, care, and reverence.
