Photographer Brit Milah Paris 9 - Buffault Synagogue, Tradition, Family | Laurent Baranes

Brit Milah photographer in Paris 9ᵉ. Laurent Baranes accompanies you with sensitivity to document your ceremony: mohel, blessings, synagogue, kiddush and family portraits.

Paris 9ᵉ: community roots and a family atmosphere

The 9ᵉ arrondissement, between the Grands Boulevards, Saint-Georges and rue Lafayette, is known for its vibrant community and the presence of the great Buffault synagogue, a central location for Ashkenazi Jewish life in Paris. The district is also appreciated for its bright apartments, nearby Jewish schools and the ease with which religious ceremonies can be organized in a respectful, structured setting.

I am Laurent Baranes, a photographer specializing in prestigious Jewish ceremonies, ranked 57ᵉ worldwide by the WPE. My work is guided by discretion, respect for rites and a refined aesthetic, to offer a faithful, sensitive and timeless reportage.

Where to hold a Brit Milah in Paris 9ᵉ

Synagogues

  • Buffault Synagogue (rue Buffault)
    • A landmark of Ashkenazi Parisian Judaism
    • Brit Milah with rabbi and mohel on site
  • Neighborhood oratory or home celebration, also very frequent

Reception

  • Kiddush in the lounges adjoining the synagogue or in a family apartment

A typical Brit Milah in Paris 9ᵉ

  1. Early arrival of relatives at synagogue or home
  2. Religious ceremony conducted by a licensed mohel
    • Hebrew name, blessings, presence of sandak
  3. Kiddush or kosher breakfast in a friendly atmosphere
  4. Natural photos: relaxed atmosphere, symbolic gestures, family portraits

My photographic style

  • Sober, unobtrusive coverage focusing on emotions and rituals
  • Controlling interior lighting in synagogues and apartments alike
  • No disturbance of the mohel or participants
  • Secure HD gallery delivered within a few days
  • Options: prestige albums, gift sets, family prints

Testimonial

"Our son was circumcised at the Buffault synagogue, like his grandparents before him. Laurent captured this moment with great modesty, respect and beauty. The images are powerful and soulful."
