BAR/BAT MITZVAHS

To capture a meaningful account of the day from all perspectives, we incorporate documentary style interviews of close family members (for example, parents, grandparents and siblings).

We usually conduct interviews during the time of the photo shoot. We carefully review the footage and include special messages and thoughts from loved ones.

We inter-cut the portions of the interview with photographs (you provide us with up to 20) along with other touching “video clips” (hora, candle lighting, etc.) taken throughout the festivities. This results in a DVD with highly-edited segments that are interspersed throughout the video to create a well-paced, entertaining account of the day.

If your temple videotapes the service, we are happy to incorporate significant moments (Torah portion, prayers, etc.) in our final DVD once the synagogue provides you with the footage at no additional cost.
