Jewish Wedding Photographer Florence - Houppa, Synagogue, Prestige Villas | Laurent Baranes

Jewish wedding photographer in Florence, Laurent Baranes captures your religious ceremony in the most beautiful settings: historic synagogue, Tuscan villas, kosher reception and sacred rituals.

Florence: Italian spirituality and art of living

A Jewish wedding in Florence means getting married in a city where Jewish tradition meets Europe's most prestigious cultural heritage. Historic synagogues, Tuscan hilltop villas, Renaissance gardens and refined gastronomy create the ideal setting for an elegant, ritually respectful and profoundly artistic wedding.

I'm Laurent Baranes, international photographer, ranked 57ᵉ worldwide by the WPE, specializing in luxury Jewish weddings. I work in Florence with a photographic approach focused on emotion, tradition and Italian light, with total respect for each family.

Prestigious venues for a Jewish wedding in Florence

Synagogues

  • Florence's Great Synagogue (Tempio Maggiore)
    • Historic monument in Byzantine style, emblematic green dome
    • Official ceremonies (Sephardic or Ashkenazi), very well supervised
  • Private oratory or ceremony in a villa with a rabbi present

Reception

  • Villa Corsini a Mezzomonte: spacious, elegant, views of the Florentine hills
  • Villa Cora: refined luxury, ideal for intimate weddings
  • Villa Gamberaia, Villa Medicea di Lilliano: classic architecture and spectacular gardens
  • Luxury hotels: Four Seasons Florence, St. Regis, Villa San Michele
  • Kosher caterers from Milan, Rome, Paris or Tel Aviv (Glatt/Beth Din)

Jewish ceremonies and rituals: symbolic power and beauty of place

I photograph every highlight of your wedding in halachic order, with documentary precision and artistic sensitivity:

  1. Preparations for hattan and kallah: in villa or hotel suites
  2. Badeken: veil covering in a flowered living room or patio
  3. Houppa in a Tuscan garden: at sunset, under cypress trees or facing the hills
  4. Signing the ketubah, 7 blessings, breaking the glass
  5. Traditional Seuda: kosher meal, speeches, Hebrew songs
  6. Sephardic, Ashkenazi, Israeli or mixed dances, according to your family customs

Photographic style

  • Luminous, structured report focusing on the symbolism of the moment
  • Soft colors, warm Tuscan tones, subtle touch-ups
  • Mastery of contrasts (dark interiors, golden exterior light)
  • HD gallery delivered fast
  • Luxury albums (canvas, leather, linen), Fine Art prints, boxes for parents

Testimonial

"The Florence synagogue is sublime. We had a moving wedding, surrounded by our families from France and Israel. Laurent captured every moment of the ritual with restraint, talent and accuracy. His photos are worthy of the city."
- Esther & Yonathan, Florence
