The bride and groom observed Jewish marriage rituals some of which include circling the groom seven times, placing the wedding band on the pointer finger, drinking wine and, privacy immediately after the ceremony. The bride was so present and in the moment, that I found her to be a captivating subject. I made hundreds of photographs of her. A few follow.

I love Eileen, the mother of the bride, signaling to her daughter that she completed “seven” circles.

I love picking up the detail of Claudia’s veil as she drank from the cup of wine.

After the seriousness of the ceremony, Claudia and Omer were ready to do relaxing portraits, so I borrowed a club car and off we went to the far-flung corners of the golf course for landscapes and a few romantic shots.
