Planning a Mitzvah

Our hands-on process before your event and what we focus on as a studio to capture your mitzvah. 

At Lafayette Hill Studios, our seasoned photographers and videographers have been preserving the magic of numerous Bar Mitzvahs, Bat Mitzvahs, and B’Nai Mitzvahs for decades. ​​Photographing your special day is more than a job to us—it's a passion. We're not just about documenting moments, we're about creating memories that will last a lifetime. We focus on capturing the pure emotions and unforgettable moments that tell your family's story. Beyond standard shots, we strive for photos that capture the essence of your celebration. Our team's unwavering commitment, dedication, and passion shine through in every project, delivering a product that you can trust and cherish. We promise.

Before your Mitzvah 

We prioritize genuine connections, starting from detailed consultations via in-person, phone, or video chat months before your event. Our process includes email updates and comprehensive timelines because every detail about your special day matters to us. We cherish getting to know you and your family, capturing those pre-event moments during a rehearsal shoot. Our network includes DJs, decorators, and venue partners, ensuring you have all the support you need. Plus, we're flexible with schedules and last-minute changes to guarantee perfect coverage of your day.

During your Mitzvah 

We start with a phone check in the week of your event to discuss the timeline, ensuring punctuality or even early arrival. Our team has deep knowledge of various venues, so we know exactly what’s needed for a smooth setup. We’re committed to capturing every part of your day, from decor and formal family photos to candle lighting, horah, and dancing. Count on us for both the key moments and those candid, spontaneous ones that truly tell your story.

After your Mitzvah

Within just a week after your event, you can relive the moments through photography highlights on our Facebook page. We also ensure your vendors get the highlights. Your full photography gallery will be ready in 6-8 weeks.  

You also get a video trailer in the short term and, as soon as your edit is complete, you get your full film. Plus, access unlimited downloads from our online gallery and get a USB drive. Need an album? Not a problem! We invite you to our studio to personally help you design your album from your favorite images.

It’s a privilege to accompany you from start to finish. The time we spend together, whether it’s talking over the phone, exchanging emails, or capturing the special moments on the big day, is genuinely cherished. We become part of your story, and even after the final images are delivered, we look forward to keeping in touch.
