FAQ

Planning Your Photography in Jerusalem

How long does it take to receive the photos?

You’ll get a preview within 48 hours after the event. In addition, your full edited gallery will be ready in about one to two weeks.

What should we wear for the photoshoot?

Wear clean, elegant clothes in neutral colors such as white, beige, or navy. Avoid bright colors, patterns, or large logos. Also, make sure clothes are comfortable and simple.

What should we bring to the photoshoot?

Bring water, comfortable shoes, and, if needed, a tallit or tefillin. In addition, keep personal items minimal so the photos stay natural and neat.

Which locations do you recommend the most?​

We recommend Jaffa Gate and the Jewish Quarter for family photos, the Dung Gate for the procession, and the Kotel for prayers. Moreover, this route covers the full Old City experience efficiently.
