About
I'm not just
a wedding photographer.
Being there on people's biggest evenings — and capturing them at their best.
Twenty years. 1,500+ events. Weddings all across Israel, north to south — and in New York, London, Spain, Belgium, Holland and Russia. Destination weddings are a specialty. Separate dancing always. Yonatan covers the men's side; a second photographer (or a female photographer, on request) covers the women's side.
The approach
Giving people room to shine.
The work is giving people room to shine in their own light, in their own version.
And being there when it happens — to capture the beautiful side of them.
Discipline
Directing conditions.
Not emotion.
If anything is said during the shoot, it's only to arrange the conditions — where the light is, where to stand, where the head emerges best. The emotion — is yours.
To light in order to tell, not to expose.
Knowing where to stand. From which angle. At what depth of field. At what shutter speed.
The craft
Photography is the beginning.
Years have passed behind the camera, and with each one it gets clearer — it's not just art. It's also a role.
At first it was for weddings. But then — young photographers started asking to learn. “Teach me how you see.”
That's how Orlens was born — a Hebrew photography learning platform. Because if I know something — I must pass it on.
Wedding, teaching, life. Same principle: see, before you shoot.

your evening?
The first conversation is free. I ask questions that aren't always asked. Even if we don't work together — you'll get insights that help you choose the right photographer.
