Jewish wedding photography Saint-Mandé - Synagogue, Houppa | Laurent Baranes

Jewish wedding photographer in Saint-Mandé, Laurent Baranes captures every special moment: houppa, traditions, synagogue, reception. Elegance, emotion, light and sincerity.

Saint-Mandé: tradition, serenity and proximity to Paris

Saint-Mandé is a town on a human scale, located at the gateway to the 12th arrondissement of Paris. It's a popular venue for refined, heartfelt Jewish family weddings, with strong community roots and a natural setting thanks to its proximity to the Bois de Vincennes.
The town offers a rare balance of tradition, elegance and calm, just a few minutes from the capital.

Je suis Laurent Baranes, photographe de mariage juif à Paris et en Île-de-France, classé 57ᵉ meilleur photographe mondial. Je capture avec discrétion, exigence et sensibilité les moments sacrés, les émotions vraies, et la beauté de votre union

Key locations for a Jewish wedding in Saint-Mandé

  • Saint-Mandé synagogue (rue du Colonel Fabien): beautiful, welcoming structure, ideal for a solemn religious ceremony
  • Saint-Mandé Town Hall: elegant architecture, bright façade, adjoining square for exit portraits
  • Bois de Vincennes (walking distance): natural light, space, romantic setting for a couples' session
  • Nearby reception halls: Château de Santeny, Salons Hoche, Maison des Polytechniciens (15-30 min by car)

Mastering Jewish weddings: tradition, timing and emotion

I know perfectly well the rhythm and richness of Sephardic, Ashkenazi or mixed Jewish marriages, and I know how to capture :

  • Separate preparations and parental blessings
  • The bedeken (bride's veil) and the signing of the ketubah
  • La houppa: careful framing, controlled lighting, strong emotions
  • The breaking of glass, traditional dances, collective joy
  • The separation of men and women at the party, if practised

My aim is to document these moments with respect, depth and aestheticism, in a style that is both classic and lively.

Photographic style

  • Natural light, elegant colorimetry, balanced contrast
  • Spontaneous images, no artificial staging
  • Meticulous framing, true-to-life expressions, flowing narrative of the day's events
  • Gentle, discreet, trust-based management

Testimonial

"Our wedding at the Saint-Mandé synagogue was full of emotion, and Laurent knew how to tell it with great accuracy. Every photo is full of meaning. He was present without ever imposing, very professional, very sensitive."
- Yaël & Jonathan, Saint-Mandé
