This was a first for me and JPG Photography, and yet a proud moment to share. A bris is not an easy ceremony for a man to be around. It is, how do I say, painful. (understatement) But I was moved by the tradition and spirituality throughout the event. You could tell how much this meant to the family, and yet at the same time, how difficult it is to put your newborn through. The range of emotions was smiles to tears. It was beautiful.
I had the pleasure of documenting this important Jewish tradition for the Schuster’s, and I work with the new dad, Alan, at the Courier-Post. The family was a complete pleasure, and even though the weather in Haddonfield wasn’t the best, you’ll see that Alan and I went out for a few shots with his son, Sam.
It was an honor. Thank you all for sharing your culture. You taught this Philadelphia Wedding Photographer a great deal. I’ll always remember being with you all with and for Sam.
Best,
Joe G
