Bar Mitzvah photographer Paris 8e - Synagogue, Luxury hotels, Family | Laurent Baranes

Bar Mitzvah photographer in Paris 8e, Laurent Baranes documents your religious ceremony, family portraits and prestigious reception in an elegant, natural style.

Paris 8th: tradition, prestige and excellence

The 8ᵉ arrondissement, located between the Champs-Élysées, Madeleine and Parc Monceau, is synonymous with luxury, refinement and discretion. There are several active synagogues, high-class hotels and top kosher restaurants, making it an ideal neighborhood in which to hold an elegant and unforgettable Jewish Bar Mitzvah.

I'm Laurent Baranes, a photographer specializing in prestigious Jewish events in Paris. Ranked 57ᵉ world photographer by the WPE, I offer an approach that is at once documentary, aesthetic and respectful of your family and spiritual history.

Bar Mitzvah venues in Paris 8th arrondissement

Synagogues

  • Grande Synagogue de la Victoire (rue de la Victoire, near 9th arrondissement): historic Ashkenazi monument, solemn setting
  • Synagogue de la rue de Monceau: splendid architecture, very active
  • Private oratories in the Ternes / Parc Monceau / Haussmann district

Reception areas

  • Hôtel George V, Hôtel Plaza Athénée, Hôtel Le Bristol: private lounges, prestigious service
  • Reception rooms on Avenue Hoche or in the Golden Triangle
  • Contemporary event spaces between la Madeleine and Saint-Augustin
  • Top-of-the-range kosher caterers, certified Beth Din de Paris or Loubavitch

Locations for photo shoots

  • Parc Monceau: perfect for elegant family portraits
  • Avenue Montaigne, Pont Alexandre III, Arc de Triomphe: a chic, structured setting
  • Haussmann-style courtyards and private salons for sober, luminous portraits

Bar Mitzvah photography: mastery, discretion, tradition

I photograph each Bar or Bat Mitzvah with a sober and emotional style, while respecting religious codes, family organization and sacred moments:

  • Preparations with parents and grandparents
  • Torah reading or tefilin donning (if authorized)
  • Formal portraits and spontaneous scenes
  • Speeches, blessings, entertainment, dances and intergenerational moments

Photographic style

  • Prestigious, fluid and natural reportage
  • Faithful colors, soft contrasts, controlled lighting
  • Structured framing, uncluttered composition
  • High-quality processing for private galleries or fine art prints

Testimonial

"Celebrating our son's Bar Mitzvah in a lounge at the George V was important to us. Laurent was perfect. He knew how to remain discreet, capturing every powerful moment, without ever being intrusive. The photos are sublime and full of soul."
- Nathalie & Lionel, Paris 75008
