Simcha Photo

We hired Andrei for our son’s bar mitzvah last March. Aside from being an unbelievably talented photographer and getting every shot you want, he is an absolute pleasure to work with — professional, fun and has a way of blending into the party and getting the photos without disrupting the flow of the event.
We exchanged emails prior to the our event, and mapped out our plans for photos. When we showed up at the synagogue that morning, he was there with his assistant and ready to go. We didn’t have much time before our guests started arriving, but Andrei worked quickly (which everyone appreciated) and got so many wonderful shots of various family combinations. Once our guests began to arrive, he took many beautiful candids in the courtyard outside, and once again post-​service. Likewise when we arrived at our evening party, he was already there getting shots of the venue and ready for us and our guests.
Looking back at the photos he took, we were blown away with how beautiful the photos turned out, as well as the fact that he did not miss a single «big moment» at either the service or the party. We wanted to book him for my husband’s 50^th, but waited too long and unfortunately he was already committed for that evening. But we already have him reserved for our daughter’s bat mitzvah in 2017. He is absolutely the best!

We hired Andrei /​Matzah Studio for our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. He was easy going, funny, and beyond hard-​working and his work is excellent.
He met us before the event to discuss what we wanted. We went on-​site to check out the multiple locations. We had lots of family and family combinations — more than most — Andre dealt with all the information and logistics with a smile. He took lots of different group combination at the outset of the event based upon our request. For most this would have been a challenging event to manage, but he did it with flying colors and got every shot and more.
At the actual event, he was non-​stop with the camera. We wanted a photo-​journalistic style and boy did he deliver. The photos were beautiful and looking through them now, it makes us feel like we are reliving the event. He captured it all to perfection!
He’s artistic, practical, flexible, honest, happy, easy going and a true artist. I plan to use him again for my other child’s Bat Mitzvah.

Andrei was amazing at our daughters Bat Mitzvah! He did a beautiful job not only during the service but at the party as well. He really captured the essence and feeling that we felt during all parts of the celebration. We have gotten many comments from family and friends that these were some of the best pictures they had ever seen! He was very easy to work with and very accommodating. I would use Andrei again without question.
