It’s always a great honor to be trusted with the responsibility of taking the photos of an important event – a milestone in the life of a family and a bat mitzvah is certainly one that fits that description! In this case we are presenting a few highlights from Dylan’s recent bat mitzvah with the party theme of “Dylan’s Candy Bat Mitzvah” with the photos by our wonderful event photographer Angela!
We actually remember when Dylan was born and we have known her parents Danny and Angela (don’t get confused – yes our event photographer and the bat mitzvah’s mom’s names are both Angela) for well before that, so these photos are really neat to have on our blog! Let’s start with the star – Dylan!
The beautiful bat mitzvah girl!
We are also big fans of this photo which Angela is able to capture at each and every mitzvah – the proud parents looking on…
And how about a slightly-silly-but-spot-on family portrait….? You know they were having fun.
Let’s head to the party shall we? Here’s a great photo from the candle lighting…
…and here’s Dylan with her crew:
We’ll end it up on the traditional hora dance as the girl of the hour gets lifted up above the crowd!
And there you have it! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of Dylan’s celebration!
March Madness usually means a basketball tournament, but in this case it meant Jesse’s Bar Mitzvah! Since we started photographing events with our fabulous event photographer Angela, Ally and I have attended a couple of them as guests which is a special treat for us on a couple levels. For starters it’s special to share in a celebration with our friends, but to watch Angela at her craft is very rewarding as well because it confirms for us why we are so proud to have her. We knew we had something special with her from the first day she walked into our studio when she was still a photography student several years ago. She’s grown into a true pro and we are excited to showcase some of her work here!
We have known Jesse since he was born and I have known his parents Noah and Ellen for 23 years going back to our days at the University of Michigan. They are a great family and you can see the joy they had on the occasion of Jesse’s Bar Mitzvah! First Angela focused on the service part of the event at the Temple with photos of the family in the sanctuary:
The theme of the party was #JessesMarchMadness and people were having fun Instagramming with the hashtag which was displayed on the big screen, but when Jesse led members of the U of M marching band into the room and a rousing chorus of “The Victors” was played, well – things got kicked up a notch for sure. Jesse wore a GoPro to record the party and it was definitely a day to remember!
Hail to Jesse (and The Victors)!!!
We hope you enjoyed these highlights of Jesse’s March Madness – his Bar Mitzvah was truly a special day!
We had so much fun with Maddy the Bat Mitzvah model recently! This photo session was a collaboration with Guys N Gals here in the mall since Ms. Maddy’s dress was designed and special ordered from them. We had to keep these photos under wraps until after the big event since these images were on display for all to see at her party, “Club Maddy”!
First Maddy went to Guys N Gals where she was able to try on various dresses for style and size…
Then she picked out the type and color of fabric she liked…
And here is the fabulous result!!! Beautiful!!!
A Bar or Bat Mitzvah is really such a special time for a young person and their family, and a professional photo shoot is a fun and unique way to mark the occasion! The images are great for decorations at the party and they can be based on the theme for the party as well. The photo session itself can also be a great gift! Here are a couple more photos from Maddy’s awesome session!
While we are at it… I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention that we are now available to photograph your upcoming event! In the past if we were asked if we photographed mitzvahs our answer was “not really…”. For starters it was too difficult to work on weekend nights since we have kids of our own. So now our event photographer Angela is available and has photographed several bar and bat mitzvahs for us and she has done a fantastic job just as we knew she would! There will be more details and photos on this to come and in the meantime Angela is available so call us and you can come to the studio to meet her!
