The horah is our favourite part of any Jewish wedding. The horah is a passionate Israeli dance where guests energetically dance around the couple to klezmer music and this is also the part of the wedding where you’ll see the couple lifted on chairs, tossed on a sheet or balance on a table.

It is an amazing challenge for any photographer or videographer to capture this moment. Will you get sweaty? Yes. Is there a chance you might rip your dress or suit? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely!

So, given how integral the horah is to any Jewish celebration, how do you make it happen? Here are some tips to getting everybody at your wedding involved in this lively and brilliant tradition.

It is a new year and a new wedding season is fast approaching, but we wanted to take a moment to share images and details from a spectacular wedding we planned last spring. Lauren and Seth envisioned a sophisticated and contemporary wedding and in keeping with their vision, we helped create a celebration that was chic and streamlined, including white fluffy blooms, touches of soft blue and modern black and white details with lots of ambient lighting and acrylic accent pieces. Read all about their beautiful and modern wedding here.
