The 9 Best Wedding Photographers & Videographers in Israel (2026)

Israeli wedding photography is quoted as a package rather than an hourly rate, and the price is driven by how many shooters are on the day, whether video is included, and what you get afterwards — a gallery, an album, a highlight film, a full-length feature. Combined photo-and-video packages from one studio are almost always cheaper than hiring a photographer and a videographer separately, and they argue with each other less on the day.

The ones who work with international couples do, as a matter of routine — it is a large share of the market. Anton Mislawsky, Jeremy Lerman, the Invisible Photographer and Alice Notcake all work in English, and several add Russian, French or Spanish. What matters on the day is not conversational English but whether the photographer can direct forty relatives who do not share a language, which is a skill worth asking about.

Nine to twelve months for a peak-season date, and longer for the busiest Thursday nights in spring and early autumn — Thursday is the traditional Israeli wedding night and the best photographers are booked out on it first. For a winter wedding or a Sunday, three to six months is usually enough. Destination couples should lock the photographer at the same time as the venue.

The established Israeli studios do — the badeken, the chuppah, the tisch, separate dancing, and the rules about photography on Shabbat and chag. If your wedding has a mechitza or separate dancing, ask specifically whether the studio can put a woman photographer on the women's side; several, including Avigail Tresgallo, specialise in exactly that and are regularly hired as a second shooter for it.

Travel within Israel is often included up to a line — several studios cover Jerusalem, Haifa and Beer Sheva with no travel fee — but Eilat, the Galilee and the Negev usually add one, along with an overnight if the day runs late. Second shooters, extra hours, a drone, a same-day edit and printed albums are the other common add-ons. Get all of them itemised on the quote.

One studio, in most cases. A combined team has agreed in advance who stands where at the chuppah, shares a timeline and delivers a consistent look between the stills and the film. Two independent suppliers can work beautifully together, but only if they have done it before — if you go that route, introduce them weeks ahead rather than at the venue door.
