Shane’s Bar Mitzvah: March 17, 2018 So this is my second time around with this family, a few years ago I photographed Jackson’s Bar and Shane was just a young pup, but now he is turned into a man. We had a great time at the rehearsal at Adeth Israel, and then rocked out after the Havdallah service a week later. Abbey Road was the DJ that night, and rocked the place with music and games like no tomorrow. The kids just had a blast, from virtual reality to basketball to table hockey. This family really knows how to throw down a party, Jackson’s party brought everyone to the field and this party scored the touchdown. Mazel Tov, guys.

Austin’s Bar Mitzvah: March 3, 2018 One of my favourite synagogues to photograph is Beth Torah, especially for a Havdallah service at the end of Shabbot. Rabbi Yossi does such a spectacular job bringing the congregation together and including family and children. Today was no exception. Right from the get go, everyone was so on the same page that this party just rolled along smoothly. We moved from the ceremony, into some schmoozing, and then into the amazing party room. Sole Power rocked the night offering ‘no quarter’; they were fantastic. Austin, his brother and sister, and well everyone just ‘threw it down’, dancing well into the night, and having the best party this family has seen all year. Mazel Tov, guys.

Alexa & Braden’s B’nei Mitzvah Party: March 24, 2018 Well this was the second part of a three-part mitzvah, our first outing was held at Graffiti Alley in downtown Toronto, this kids party was outing number two, and there is still the actual ceremony coming up in a few weeks. I feel like I’m just getting into the groove for the main event. So let’s be honest, when opposite sex twins have a celebration with their own friends, one can only hope that things don’t get ridiculously out of hand but reach a point of ‘awesome’. Well, the point of ‘awesome’ was reached and then some. The Magen Boys took to the stage at the Show Room with no mercy, and both sets of friends, Alexa’s and Braden’s hit the ground running. This was a no-adult event except for immediate family so the gloves came off early. Can’t wait for the final chapter. Mazel Tov, guys.

Logan’s Bar Mitzvah: March 8, 2018 Photographed by Ben Beth Torah is still my favourite synagogue to shoot during the day, the light streams in from the top and is fantastic. Ben and I shared this event as I was a guest so it was a little back-and-forth between us. The ceremony was a joy to behold, Rabbi Yossi doing what only Yossi can do, bring everyone together in harmony and celebration. Logan is one interesting character; I’ve known this family for many years and can attest to that myself. The safety goggles worn during the candy toss were a nice touch, ’Safety First’, y’know. As part photographer and part guest, I get the best of both worlds. I get to photograph with Ben, and then eat a delicious breakfast with my wife. Mazel Tov, guys.

Seth’s Bar Mitzvah: March 10, 2018 Seth’s rehearsal took place at the City Shul on Bloor St. My first time photographing at this venue, it was bright and interesting. Seth and his sister had fun; relaxing and playing it up for the camera. Once the weekend came around, caution was thrown to the wind and the party began to rock. We were of coarse at the Eglinton Grand, and there is nothing not grand about this venue. The room looked stunning; so elegant and… well, grand. Party planner, Rachel Wolfson pulled the event together spectacularly, and as The Boss sings, ‘Two mom’s are better than one“, the two mom’s played their part too. The food was delicious, the Magen Boys did that outstanding job, and break dancer extraordinaire Kyryll, just ‘went downtown’ for this event, no holds barred. Mazel Tov, guys.

Sam’s Bar Mitzvah: Feb 24, 2018 Sam’s bar mitzvah rehearsal and party were just one fun day after the other. He’s a great kid with a delightful sister and lovely parents. We met at Beth Tzedec a few days before for a rehearsal. The kids were in fine form, joking and having fun. ‘All the Synagogue’s a Stage’, y’know. The party turned out to be a beautiful celebration of coming into adulthood. Sam took on the party with enthusiasm and attitude, and Lucas from PURE Entertainment rocked it out well into the night. He is the best!!! Party planner extraordinaire, Vivian Ringwald from 2-Steps-Ahead pulled this together with such grace and style, amazing decor by Natalie Lederman was the icing on the cake.

Norah’s Bat Mitzvah: Feb 15, 2018 Norah’s Bat Mitzvah was one of the last to take place at the Habonim Synagogue before it get’s a major face-lift. This was a wonderful simcha. Norah is such a class act; confident, funny, and had everyone in tears watching her retrospective video courtesy of her dad… oh, those were tears of laughter, not sadness. Great family, delicious food, a celebration to end all celebrations. Mazel Tov.

Charly’s Bar Mitzvah: Feb 10, 2018 Photographed by JONNI & BEN Charly’s bar mitzvah ceremony at Holy Blossom Synagogue was just a joy to behold. These three kids, Charly being the oldest, seem to have their sibling repartee down pat. I’m sure dinner at the Warwick residence is none too laid-back or chilled, these boys play off each other at every moment, and all in good clean fun. The rehearsal was smooth and flawless, and the party was the perfect blend of style and warmth. Great music along with delicious food makes for a special party. Both Ben and I thoroughly enjoyed.
