Jewish Wedding Photographer Rome - Houppa, Tradition, Synagogue | Laurent Baranes

Jewish wedding photographer in Rome, Laurent Baranes sublimates every moment of your ceremony: houppa, synagogue, historic palaces, kosher reception, Jewish tradition and Italian light.

Rome: a Jewish wedding between history and refinement

A Jewish wedding in Rome combines the spiritual richness of one of the world's oldest Jewish communities with Italian refinement. The city abounds in symbolic sites: imposing synagogues, Renaissance villas, hilltop gardens, mansions and panoramic terraces. Rome offers a sacred, joyful and unforgettable atmosphere for a chuppah unique in the world.

I'm Laurent Baranes, a wedding photographer ranked 57ᵉ worldwide by the WPE, specializing in high-end Jewish weddings in Europe and internationally. My work blends respect for ritual, discretion and an artistic eye, to deliver a natural and powerful reportage.

Landmarks for a Jewish wedding in Rome

Synagogues

  • Great Synagogue of Rome (Tempio Maggiore di Roma)
    • Imposing, Italian rite (minhag romano), neo-Babylonian architecture, experienced officiants
    • A stone's throw from the Jewish ghetto and the Tiber River

Jewish rituals captured in depth

My experience in Jewish weddings has allowed me to develop a fluid and respectful approach to documenting sacred moments:

  1. Preparations for hattan and kallah: in a suite or villa
  2. Badeken: in a private salon, a solemn atmosphere
  3. Chupa ceremony: in a garden, synagogue or palace courtyard
  4. Cheva brakhot, broken glass, mazel tov
  5. Séouda: kosher dinner, blessings, traditional songs, intergenerational atmosphere
  6. Jewish dances: hora, mizrahi, ashkenazi - according to your traditions

Photographic style

  • Editorial-style reporting: elegant, spontaneous, narrative
  • Italian lighting: warm, golden, natural
  • Structured composition in Roman decor
  • Gallery delivered quickly (secure, HD)
  • Options: luxury Italian albums, Fine Art prints, family boxes

Testimonial

"We dreamed of a Jewish wedding in Rome: ceremony in the ghetto, reception in a 17th-century palace, kosher dinner. Laurent captured every emotion, the beauty of the place and our attachment to tradition. His vision is rare, sober and very powerful."
- Rachel & Elie, Rome
