Melbourne Photographer for B’nai Mitzvahs, Weddings & Family Celebrations

The energy. The dancing. The tears your family didn't realise they were feeling.

That's what you get when you work with Aaron.

    Recently I needed to show a friend the photos of the table arrangements at Seth's bar mitzvah. Opening the gallery took me on the most joyous memory trip of such a fabulous night. I deliberated about having a videographer, and due to budget I decided against it. What I realised and appreciate now is how you not only captured the people — you captured the energy and thrill of the night. Many of the photos really showcase the mood. Thank you for enabling us to remember our family and guests, but especially the vibe of the night, even without a video.

"Thank you so much for sending through the sneak peek photos so quickly! They are so beautiful. I actually looked at them at 3am when I woke with barmi anxiety and then couldn't get back to sleep for another two hours because I was mesmerised by them!"

Thank you so much, Aaron.

We are thrilled with the photos (there have been lots of compliments on the photos so I'm hoping you'll get some more business out of this too!). It has been a pleasure working with you and if we don't see you around sooner, we look forward to doing it all again for Jonah's bar mitzvah in 2028!

All the best and thanks again.
