What Our Mitzvah Clients Have to Say:

“The pictures are wonderful! Gorgeous portraits, beautiful shots from the service, and once again you’ve done an amazing job of capturing the fun and joy of the reception! Three Bat Mitzvahs in a row, and all with spectacular photos – we love them and are so grateful for your work! We may be all done with Bat Mitzvahs now, but I hope we’ll have another chance to use your services (before the weddings!!). ”

“Ben,. In brief, the pictures were excellent! If you need any kind of commentary, etc, please let me know. At a minimum, I'd say...

'at first we were disappointed that we didn't get a video of the big day as well, but once we saw Ben's pictures, we realized that wasn't really necessary. The photos jumped to life, and the album format 'tells the story' in a unique and beautiful way....kudos!'”

" Ben Zweig captured the spirit of Aaron's Bar Mitzvah on film. Our photos are fabulous quality and composition. He was great to work with and helped us stay focused and organized to get the photos we want to cherish for years to come."

Jamie Cooperman

"Thank you for the amazing photographs of our son’s Bar Mitzvah. The composition and quality of the pictures are stunning – they capture the range of emotions on our special day. From intimate moments between mother and son, to action shots of the dancing and games, and unbelievably well done (very) large family group shots – the pictures capture the love and joy of Kyle’s Bar Mitzvah. It was a pleasure to work with you, and our Rabbi was thrilled with the respectful and sensitive way you handled photography in the sanctuary. He wants you back at NVHC – and I can guarantee we’ll be calling you to photograph many more mitzvot in our family’s future."
