Shabbat Chatan Photography
The first Shabbat after the chuppah. This time with no schedule.
Shabbat chatan is the Shabbat after the wedding, within the sheva brachot week. The chatan is called up to the Torah, the families gather again, and this time nobody is counting minutes.
The photography happens before Shabbat comes in — the preparations, the tables, the guests arriving, the family getting ready. We agree in advance what is photographed and when, and Shabbat is kept.
Many couples say they prefer these pictures to the ones from the wedding itself. On the wedding day everyone is tense. By Shabbat they have relaxed.
