We film and photograph bar and bat mitzvahs, from the synagogue to the last dance. We have done many of them. We do not need to ask when the aliyah is or when the hora starts.
What you can get
- A short film from the synagogue, shown the same evening at the party
- A short clip to share on WhatsApp, within 48 hours
- All photos edited, in a gallery to share and download
- A film of 8 to 10 minutes
- If you like, the whole celebration as a long film of about two hours
You do not need all of it. Some families book only the synagogue, others the whole day. Tell us what you are planning and you will get the price with our reply.
A music video of their own
For a bar mitzvah in Frankfurt we shot a music video beforehand: an original song and four locations, from the European Central Bank across the Eiserner Steg bridge to the Alte Oper at night. It opened the party.
What to sort out beforehand
- Many synagogues do not allow filming on Shabbat. Some families therefore choose a Monday or Thursday, when the Torah is read as well.
- Ask the rabbi early where cameras may stand. Every community has its own rules.
- Tell us when speeches and surprises are planned.
