Golden hour (1 hour before sunset) produces the most flattering natural light. Indoors, professional photographers use off-camera flash and continuous lighting. Discuss the venue’s lighting conditions with your photographer in advance.

Photo booths are hugely popular at Israeli weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. They provide entertainment for guests and instant printed souvenirs. Consider a mirror booth, 360-degree booth, or classic strip-style setup.
