“BLAKE EZRA IS A GENIUS AND A SPECIAL SOUL.
OUR PHOTOGRAPHS TOOK MY BREATH AWAY AND CONTINUE TO DO SO EVERY SINGLE DAY.
FROM THE MOMENT WE MET BLAKE, WE KNEW THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE ON EARTH WHO COULD DOCUMENT OUR SPECIAL TIME LIKE HIM.”

“BLAKE EZRA IS EXTRAORDINARY.
HE DOESN’T SIMPLY CAPTURE MOMENTS, HE MIRACULOUSLY CAPTURES THE ETERNAL ELEMENTS THAT WE CHERISH. IN HIS PHOTOS, THE INTANGIBLE, IMMEASURABLE ASPECTS OF LIFE LIKE LOVE, JOY, POIGNANCY AND ENERGY ALL COME THROUGH IN FULL FORCE.
HE IS AN ARTIST IN THE TRUEST SENSE OF THE WORD, HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE ANYONE ELSE. BLAKE IS NOT ONLY A MASTER OF HIS CRAFT, BUT HE RESPECTS AND ENGAGES IN IT WITH THE UTMOST HONOUR AND INTEGRITY.”

THE MOMENTS THAT PASS IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE: GIFTED ETERNITY
“It’s very rare in life to meet someone who’s exceptional at their job and also happens to be a genuinely lovely person. Until you meet Blake Ezra.
He is the consummate professional. His photographs are nothing short of spectacular. Blake captured every moment of our daughter, Gabriella’s Bat Mitzvah with grace, glamour, insight and perspective. He is disarming, thoughtful, calm and considered.
From Gabriella’s pre-party shoot and Shul practice, through to the actual party, Blake just seemed to get perfect shots. As time passes and our memories begin to fade, it will be those magical photos which take us back to such a special time.”
