Our Job

Having photographed hundreds of weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs and social events gives me a perspective of what is important to our clients. Her wedding gown, his cuff links, the tallit, the wine cup, the traditional displays are as important to some as the people are. We take care to capture the many details that play a part in every event. But what distinguishes our work is our unassuming manner, our inconspicuous methods, and our quiet approach. Creating wonderful, memorable images of these significant events isn't about directing people, its people being themselves, having a great time and not being bothered. Let us photograph your next event and experience the best in personal photographic service. Remember Blanken Photography for timeless images that capture your heart as well as your day.
