Keep up the great work..
We have and would be happy to recommend Peter Lane photography to family and friends.
Do you cover Bar Mitzvah outside New York?
Yes. We cover the whole country and internationally. We do however have to add on a charge to cover expenses and on rare occasions accommodation costs however we try to keep these costs to a minimum by only charging the cost of the fuel/tickets and daily bread.
How in advance to book your services?
Majority of our clients book their children't Bar & Bat Mitzvah about 2 years in advance together with the rest of the high value suppliers. We have short notice clients, depends on availability.
Why is so important to book photo & video from one vendor?
Yes it is important because photographers and videographers have experience working together and know each other's style. They will try to complement each other not to compete.
Do you give the digital files?
Yes we do! All of them are yours, edited, print ready in hi-res, having "Home Use Rights" which means that you can print them wherever you want.
Can you hold the date for me?
We can not hold a date for you without a signed agreement and deposit. A signed agreement and a deposit of 30% are required to reserve the date for you. Dates are filled on a first come-first served basis. So don't wait, as some prime dates are already booked 2 years in advance.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. If your venue requires insurance, please let us know within two weeks of the wedding so our insurance company has sufficient time to process and provide that document.
When can we get the images?
We try to deliver up to 2 days after the Bar Mitzvah, because we know how important for you is to enjoy and share the images with friends and relatives.
When do you arrive ?
Typically, if we shoot the video which happens most of the time we arrive an hour earlier, so the video team have enough time to se up lights, microphones, etc. We use the time to find the best spot and start with the family portraits and individual portraits of the Mitzvah boy/girl. This is the time of course when we can have photos of the venue set and ready with all details and decorations you've paid for.
Do you film/photograph Bar Mitzvah only?
No. We film and photograph any kind of Simcha, special events including Weddings, Anniversaries, Commercial, social media short films, conferences and corporate events, etc.
What style do you shoot?
When we shoot Bar Mitzvah we try to be artistic photojournalists, capturing those unique and inspiring moments that create the true impression of the event. We photograph the event as it happens, unobtrusive documentary allowing the photos to reflection your boy/girl's and everyone's personality and emotions. We capture the interaction inside your family, also between your family and your friends. The only time we may direct or pose is before the guests to come for the family shots.
How many photos do you take?
The right question is - "how many different photos will we have" as we don't chaise the numbers but the story telling quality. It depends on a number of factors and these include: the number of photographers, whether the event is big or small and of course the dynamics of the Bar Mitzvah party. Since we photograph digitally, we do not limit the number of photos we take during your wedding day. As each party is unique, we will photograph as much as we feel necessary to capture the great moments of your Mitzvah. On average we give 1500 photos minimum.
How does the relationship between the photographer and videographer work?
If you book our photography & video bundle you'll benefit with same key final product. Please take a look at our photography portfolio. Speaking about the cats and dogs synergy as they characterize photographers and videographers, well, we believe that photography is always more important as it captures the moment and we try to show respect to our colleagues but same time to do the job in the best way possible. The reason we are there is to capture your event the best we can and that will only happen if the photographer and videographer work together with this aim in mind.
Are you familiar with Bat & Bar Mitzvah?
For the last few of years we've booked more Bar & Bar Mitzvah than weddings and yes, we have the experience and feel quite comfortable.
How do we book?
Once you have confirmed your intentions, we'll send you an agreement to sign. After signing the agreement and sending our copy back to us along with a deposit of 1/3rd of the agreed amount, we'll consider the day reserved for you.
When do we meet?
It's usually best to have our pre-Bar Mitzvah meeting 2-3 weeks prior to the event, the closer the better really as its nice to keep the rapport we build up from the meeting and take that into the Mitzvah so you feel more at ease. We always try to arrange a face to face meeting where ever possible but sometimes due to logistics this may not be possible. In this instance we can have the next best thing...a Skype chat. If your not comfortable with chatting over the net we can always have the meeting via telephone. The main aim is to get to know each other and to obtain all the info I need so I'm fully prepared for the big day.
How do we view our Bar Mitzvah images?
All of your photos are posted on a private online gallery. This gallery can be shared with friends and family across the globe. This unique service allows you the freedom to view your files in the comfort of your own home when ever you choose. The gallery has multi purposes, it is very handy not for sharing only but as a speedy proofer when we start designing the album. Having checkout function your guests can easily find themselves and order their downloads and prints, which can be on paper, canvas, frames, T-shirts, puzzles, etc.
When is the final balance due?
3 Weeks prior to the Bar Mitzvah date.
How long does the video take to complete?
To create a film to the standard we produce takes time so we set the completion date at 1-4 months from the event date. It doesn't take 4 months of actual editing however, as we film a lot of events in a 5 month period and with each edit taking up to 2 weeks of work we quickly build up a backlog. We don't rush our edits, we spend the time carefully crafting your Mitzvah film to ensure we create the best Bar Mitzvah video possible. Your video is to last you forever and we want it be something you will always want to watch and be proud to show your friends and family, we edit with this in mind. It does require patience on your part but I can assure you its worth the wait!
Payment methods?
Bank Transfer, Cash.
How long do you keep a copy of our Bar Mitzvah footage?
Once the video is signed off and you have received your final copies we will keep the raw footage for 2 months after which time it will be deleted. We will however keep copies of your final discs in case you wish to order more copies in the future.
