Bar & Bat Mitzvahs

Bar & Bat Mitzvahs

Two events in one day: a solemn morning at the bimah, and a full-tilt party by evening. Coverage follows both halves — the nerves before the Torah reading, the parents’ faces during the blessing, the dance floor once the DJ takes over.

Built around your family’s actual service and reception, not a fixed shot list.

Fundraisers & Galas

Fundraisers & Galas

A gala runs on a schedule you don’t control — remarks start when they start, the paddle raise happens once. Coverage works quietly through the program, then steps in for dinner and the reception.

Real conversation and real toasts, not a receiving line of forced smiles.

Private Parties & Celebrations

Private Parties & Celebrations

Graduation parties, milestone birthdays, retirement send-offs — the events built around your own backyard, your own guest list, your own rules.

Coverage starts early enough to catch the setup and stays late enough for the last dance.

Common Questions

A few things people usually ask

How do I actually book?

Fill out the form below or call/email directly with your date and venue. I’ll follow up with a coverage plan and quote within a day, and a percentage deposit secures your date once you’re ready to move forward.

How long until I get my photos?

Fast — typically the next day, sometimes two, depending on the size of the event.

Do you travel outside Princeton?

Yes. There’s no travel fee for events within the greater Princeton area; beyond that radius, a travel fee applies based on distance.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes — a percentage of the total secures your date on the calendar. I’ll walk you through the specifics when we talk.

What’s included in my coverage hours?

Full coverage for however many hours you book, plus a private online gallery of edited, high-resolution images ready to download and share.

Can I add more time on the day, if needed?

Usually, yes — extra time can typically be added in the moment at the same hourly rate, based on availability.
