Graham & Graham are Los Angeles Photographers specializing in Los Angeles Wedding Photography and Bar/Bat Mitzvah Photography & Video. We are based in beautiful Manhattan Beach, and operate most often in Torrance, Redondo Beach, Palos Verdes, San Pedro and Long Beach, but are open to venturing beyond the South Bay bubble. Give us a call--hopefully we're available.

Besides Los Angeles weddings and Los Angeles Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, we also do events, birthday parties, Quinceañera's, Manhattan, Redondo and Palos Verdes portraits and commercial projects.

Manhattan Beach Weddings | Redondo Beach Wedding Photographer | Palos Verdes Wedding Photographer

"Captured every special moment...made me look and feel beautiful"--Krystie, Redondo Beach wedding

Let's talk Los Angeles Wedding photography in the South Bay--Manhattan, Hermosa, Redondo, Palos Verdes, Torrance, Long Beach and San Pedro!

We cover all weddings with two photographers, and offer video services as well. On a basic level, it's one photographer for the bride and the other for the groom, but there's more to it than that. One of us is up front getting close-up shots, while the other can go to the back of the room for the big wide picture. During big moments, like the "kiss" or "garter toss," shots, two of us can get the same shot from different angles.

Our approach to covering a Los Angeles and Orange County wedding is to tell the complete story of the day, capturing every detail, to help you relive the memories of what you saw--and what you didn't see. Jeff is a long-time photojournalist and Sam an art school graduate and fixture in the Los Angeles art gallery scene, so we bring a mixture of photojournalism, classic portraiture and cutting edge art feel to each photo job.

In the coming weeks, we're looking forward to Manhattan Beach weddings, Palos Verdes weddings, Los Angeles weddings, Redondo Beach weddings, Torrance weddings, Orange County weddings, Rancho Palos Verdes weddings, San Pedro weddings and Long Beach weddings. We're excited about return engagements soon at the Palos Verdes La Venta Inn and Palos Verdes Wayfarers Chapel, Long Beach's Queen Mary, San Pedro's Mary, Star of the Sea, the Redondo Beach Portofino, Nessah Synagogue in Beverly Hills, the Madison in Long Beach, the Bonaventure Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, Simi Valley's Tuscan Valley Estate, San Pedro's Doubletree Hotel and Temple Beth El, Redondo Beach's Chart House and Crowne Plaza.

But enough about us. We prefer to let the pictures tell the story. Please click the various links and take a look for yourself. We'd love to help you with your Los Angeles wedding photography and video. Give us a call at 310-594-8074 or e-mail us.

Bar/Bat Mitzvah Photography | Los Angeles Bar/Bat Mitzvah Photographer blog

 

Graham & Graham Photography is a father/son photo team, so when it comes to "generation to generation" we know of what we speak. The same goes for Bar/Bat Mitzvah photography.

We have photographed over 200 Los Angeles and Orange County Bar and Bat Mitzvahs since 2003, at the biggest Los Angeles synagouges--like Valley Beth Shalom, Sinai Temple, Temple Israel of Hollywood, Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills and L.A.'s Temple Beth Am & Temple Isaiah, to smaller congregations like Congregation Ner Tamid of Palos Verdes, Temple Israel of Long Beach and Santa Ana's Temple Beth Shalom.

In the coming months, we look forward to return engagements to Congregation Tikvat Jacob in Manhattan Beach, Temple Isaiah of Los Angeles, the Redondo Beach Jewish Community Center, Kehilliat Israel of Pacific Palisades, Temple Beth El of San Pedro, Culver City's Temple Akiba, Temple Israel of Long Beach, Sinai Temple, Orange County's Temple Beth Shalom, Beth Shir Sholom of Santa Monica, Knesset Israel of Los Angeles, Temple Beth David of Westminster, and Wilshire Boulevard Temple of Los Angeles.

Generally, we like to meet with the family 90 minutes before the service begins on Saturday morning, for Bar/Bat Mitzvah and family portraits. That is--if the temple allows photography on Saturday. Temple Isaiah, Temple Israel and Temple Emanuel do--Valley Beth Shalom, Congregation Tikvat Jacob and Ner Tamid do not.

So in that case, we meet on another day for the photography, usually about a week before the event. Or the day before, in the case of Ner Tamid.

At our shoots, lighting is very important to us, and we bring along a full collection of gear (to think it used to be just a camera and flash!) to make the room come alive. After the portrait session, it's to the back (if we can shoot) where we put our big 70-200mm 2.8 L Canon lens on our Canon 5D Mark II for close-ups, with a 24mm-70mm 2.8 L or 16-35mm 2.8 L Canon lens on our second camera. This is usually followed by pictures of the kiddish lunch, and then the Big Party!

Groups! More family pictures. The hora! Celebration. Wild dancing shots.

We invite you to take a look at our various Bar/Bat Mitzvah galleries, as well as our blog, where we regularly post new shots. Better yet--give us a call or e-mail and make an appointment to come see our work (prints, albums, the whole magilla) in person.
