“I love Jewish weddings, and how amazing they are,” says Surrey wedding photographer Soven Amatya “Everything gets ratcheted up by a factor of 100 during the Hora. So fast-paced and lively that it can feel like a blur. The moments are full of fun and are even greater when everyone gets involved. Not every bride agrees to get thrown in the air, but I’m very happy this bride did!”
