Chad David Kraus Photography & Videography

Chad David Kraus Photography & Videography was born in 2008 and has become one of the preeminent and most well known and sought after Bar & Bat Mitzvah studios in NYC/Westchester and the tri-state area. While many photography studios specialize in weddings and capture Mitzvahs when they come along - we operate the other way around... Chad and his longtime team of 5 lead associate photographers capture over 100 Mitzvahs each year in a style that is photojournalistic, friendly, and fun! We LOVE shooting Mitzvahs and it is what we do BEST! We believe that great photography isn’t just about knowing where to stand and when to click - it’s about feeling the moment and connecting with the people. That’s why we approach every Mitzvah not just as photographers, but as honorary guests. We’ve had people come up and ask which side of the family we’re on - and honestly, that’s the biggest compliment we could receive. When we’re kibbitzing with the grandparents one minute and whooping it up in the middle of the dance floor the next, we’re building the kind of trust and connection that lets us capture the most genuine, joy-filled moments. What sets us apart is not only the quality of the images we deliver, but the experience we create while capturing them. We want your family and friends to feel completely at ease - and to actually enjoy having us around. Our presence enhances your party, never disrupts it. Families often share that working with Chad David Kraus Photography & Videography was one of the highlights of their event. And to us, that’s just as important as delivering photos you’ll treasure forever. .
