Ben Lapid http://www.benlapid.com For more than 25 years, Benjamin Lapid (call him
Benny) has used his cameras to tell important stories.
Sometimes, they’ve been stories of international
concern, such as when he photographed official travels
for Israeli dignitaries. More recently, they’ve been tales
of weddings like yours.
To Benny, every wedding is a story. When he speaks
of one, he talks about the people and how they face
the inevitable challenges of a big event. He talks about
the funny incidents and the touching moments. He talks
about how events unfold and how people come together.
But he tells stories most eloquently in his photographs.
This isn’t merely Benny’s job, it’s his passion.
He knows that to tell your wedding story - really tell
your story - he must be everywhere for you, all of
the time. Invisible, yet part of the party, so that you
and your guests feel completely comfortable near the
camera.
That’s exactly how Benny’s clients describe his work.
On one hand, he’s in the background, an unobtrusive
friendly shadow. And yet his enthusiasm is almost
palpable. You can feel his joy in capturing each precious
fleeting moment for the bride and groom. The
ceremony, the friends and family, the celebration - even
those wonderful instants of preparation that might
otherwise be lost in the frenzied pre-wedding blur -
are preserved to be cherished for a lifetime.
Of course, Benny is perfectly at home arranging and
taking traditional formal wedding pictures. Still, it’s his
photojournalistic approach to the entire event that’s
made him the photographer of choice for newlywedsto-
be across the United States, as well as in Israel,
Switzerland, India and Jamaica.
How will the story of your wedding unfold? There’s no
telling. But you can count on Benny Lapid capturing it
all to give you a lifetime of smiles and memories. |
