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.

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
