A child’s Bar or Bat Mitzvah is one of the most important days of their life, one they and their family will want to remember for years to come. Karen Wise, a family photographer based in Brooklyn, NY, has attended many of her own extended family’s Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, as well as several clients’ mitzvahs in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Caribbean. She is honored to help families memorialize these momentous occasions.

Why Karen Wise Is the Perfect Family Photographer 

Personal Interest

Wise takes a personal interest in her clients and provides a customized experience for each event. She takes the time to meet the family before the big day. Getting to know the celebrants before the bar or bat mitzvah is crucial in allowing the child and parents to feel comfortable and confident.

An experienced family photographer specializing in weddings, Wise understands that planning a bar/bat mitzvah can be stressful and hectic, almost as much as planning nuptials. A dedicated documentarian and portrait artist, Wise wants her clients to feel at ease and be assured she will not overlook a single detail. 

No Moment Missed 

From photos of the child holding the Torah to formal family portraits as well as all essential rituals, including candle lighting, blessings of the challah and wine, and hora, Wise captures every emotion and precious moment. Because of the energetic nature of such occasions, Wise works with one or two colleagues to document the reception. 

Extensive Experience 

Based in Brooklyn, Wise has more than 15 years of experience as a photographer. She combines technical expertise in digital and film media with an elegant artistic finish. Her creativity and impeccable eye have earned her numerous accolades over the years.

She has been named in the “World’s Top 10” by American Photo magazine and “Best in New York” by The Knot. Her work has been featured in several publications including New York Magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings, Vogue India, Marie Claire China, and Style Me Pretty.
