Shira Weinberger Photography

l and we can't wait for our album!

I wanted! We hired Shira to do our engagement shoot as well and I have to say it was great to work with her before the wedding and get to know her ways. It made the wedding day even more smooth! Not to mention we have 2 sets of amazing photos now! Shira delivered on every promise she made! She told me she really gives it her all and gives you unlimited time day of your wedding and it's so true. She works her tail off!!! So many guests noticed and commented on that! She is such a hard worker! She also makes sure to touch up your photos and gives you color and b/w options which I love! Truly exceptional and worth it!!!!

we were instantly in love. Then we had intense trepidation as we waited to hear whether she was available on our date. Fortunately, she was and we breathed a big sigh of relief. Interestingly, as I was looking at Shira’s site, I came across some amazing shots from a wedding that she had done of a very close friend of my daughters; my daughter’s friends confirmed that she was great to work with. Also, we were having an Orthodox Jewish wedding and Shira had done this kind of wedding before. Going in to the planning, I didn’t think that it was critical to have someone who had shot an Orthodox Jewish wedding previously. But at the end of the day, I felt that her experience was really relevant and helpful in terms of her understanding of the day, the flow, the subtleties and timing and thus what she was able to capture. When we met with Shira initially we talked about what we wanted for the wedding which was to capture the special moments and that we were less concerned about all the posed photos. This was certainly in keeping with her approach as well. But the wonderful thing about Shira is that even all the posed family photos, and we really did not take a ton, are not stiff and formal. Another wonderful thing about Shira is how lovely she is to work with. She’s totally buttoned up and professional. She kept us on track and in a very easy, non-pushy way. Her second shooter and assistant were great as well and I really was not aware of pictures being taken, other than the posed ones, the entire evening. We have not seen all our photos yet, but what we have seen have been amazing! Rangefinder which is a magazine for wedding photographers featured Shira and the photos from the wedding as the wedding of the week, see “RF Wedding of The Week, A Stylish Orthodox Ceremony by Shira Weinberger”. And from everyone who has seen the photos, the comments have been consistent,that they are the most wonderful photographs, that the photos explode with joy. Yes, I will admit, modestly, that the wedding was amazing, beautiful, joyful but there’s always a risk that if you don’t hire the right photographer, the moments will be lost. With Shira, the photos are really beyond our wildest dreams. We’re still on a high from the wedding and Shira’s photos are a wonderful reminder of what an extraordinary day it was! Right now, it’s all still very vivid in our minds; the wedding was only a month ago. But I am so thankful that we made the decision to have Shira document our daughter’s wedding and that we will have these magnificent photos to enjoy in the future, and for generations to come.

o relive the parts we missed in person). She is very hard working and dedicated to her art and it shows in every photo she painstakingly captures, composes with natural light and edits. She is a true artist and we felt very confident in having her cover the most important day of the start of our lives!
