I have knocked the ultra orthodox Jewish community for their aggressive intolerance in the past, but I have to say that this series of photographs from one of their marriage services are simply stunning. They were taken at the marriage of a couple of members of the Vizhnitz Hasidic sect in Petah Tikva near Tel Aviv.
Really great photos which deserve to be given prominence and a wider audience .... credit to the photographer (who was unnamed). They are almost like a classical painting by an old master in their composition and use of light and colour.
