Mikkeller Bangkok! When Charlie asked me if I wanted to photograph a Jewish wedding at a Craft Beer Brewery in Bangkok I couldn’t say no!
Full of tradition, Jewish weddings are always incredible events. Despite following age-old traditions, Jewish weddings are anything but predictable.
Everything from the bridal preparations in the morning, the separate groom’s reception, breaking the glass the Tisch, the veiling ceremony or Badeken, the procession and the promises made under the Chuppah, to the signing of the Ketubah. Then there is the singing, dancing, and amazing food!

A specialized form of wedding photography, Jewish wedding photography focuses on capturing the unique customs and traditions of Jewish weddings. Jewish weddings are steeped in symbolism and meaning photography is an essential part of capturing the essence of the day.
In a wedding, the photography of the ketubah signing holds great value as it marks a significant moment. The ketubah, a Jewish marriage contract, requires the couple and two witnesses to sign it, traditionally. Usually, the signing takes place in a private room. As a Jewish wedding photographer, it is important to capture this intimate moment in a respectful and unobtrusive way.
Another important aspect of Jewish wedding photography is the chuppah ceremony. The chuppah is a canopy that symbolizes the home the couple will build together. It is a central part of the Jewish wedding ceremony.
Couples often decorate the chuppah with flowers and other ornaments. As a photographer, it’s essential to capture both the chuppah’s beauty and the ceremony’s significance.
Lively dancing and music are also a characteristic of Jewish weddings. As a photographer, it is important to capture the energy and joy of these moments. From the hora to the traditional circle dance, the dancing at Jewish weddings is a celebration of the couple’s love.
Jewish wedding photography is about capturing the beauty and meaning of the day in a way that honors the couple and their traditions. As a Jewish wedding photographer, it is my job to document these moments in a respectful and artistic way, providing the couple with a record of their special day.
