Danya’s Bat Mitzvah: November 30, 2019 Any rehearsal during the day at the Beth Emeth Synagogue is privy to an amazing light show coming through the stained-glass windows. Today was no such exception. This is one of the stellar synagogues in Toronto to photograph when the sun is up, and dripping in colour. Danya was all smiles and joy as we headed outside into the crisp air for individual photos before the siblings joined us. Some traditional Torah pictures followed, and then we waited for the big day. We returned far an havdallah service on Saturday night and then to party hard. Tiffany from Bounce Entertainment went downtown with this event, and rocked the house as she can do.  She also brought along her amazing Breakdancer who pulled out all the stops. This is my second time around with these guys, and they just get better every time. Can’t wait for the next one.

Olivia’s Bat Mitzvah, November 30, 2019 Photographed by Jonni & Ben I meant Olivia at Beth Sholom synagogue for a rehearsal a few days before this party.  She was fantastic; gorgeous smile and charismatic personality.  We got through torah photos quickly before some fun family pictures with her sister and parents. Saturday night was something different entirely, this event took place at Canvas Nightclub above the furniture store, the furniture store bless their hearts, allowed us to photograph in and amongst the furniture before the party started. I love this place, just gives a totally different look to family portraits. The party was tied together nicely by Sharlene Wilder, and presided over by the Magen Boys who can always be counted on to deliver the goods. Olivia rocked this one into the wee hours and then some.

Jenna’s Bat Mitzvah: November 11, 2019 This was a wild and wonderful party at Avani Event Centre for an amazing young woman.  We started with some photos outside in the (quite) bitter cold, before heading inside for the warmer climate.  The theme was all white portraits, and white it was.  We managed to get all family portraits done before Moshe Sadaan was to officiate over the mitzvah ceremony, and the craziness of a Magen Boys party took hold.  The food was delicious, the dancing exuberant, the speeches funny, and overall a fantastic celebration.  Raquel Sananes Grad from RSG Events was on hand to tie this party together beautifully.  Way to go, guys.  Mazel Tov.   The Story of Jenna’s Bat Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE

Lily’s Bat Mitzvah: November 16, 2019 Lily’s bat mitzvah was held at the new Habonim Congregation Synagogue, and this space rocks… for photography.  It is bright and spacious, so easy to photograph in.  I started off photographing Lily, her sister and parents before the guests started rolling in.  Rabbi Eli Rubenstein ran the service with humour and style as he usually does, and as usual the wonderful stringwork of Tom Bellman and voice of Aviva Rajsky brought this ceremony home. Lily was great, nervous energy made way for a special, warm connection with all the family and friends that were there.  Lunch was delicious while we were entertained by the sweet sounds of King Harvest playing in the background. A great day, guys, Mazel Tov.   The Story of Lily’s Bat Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE   •DJ Entertainment: King Harvest •Florist: Heavenly Creations Florist & Decor •Invitations: Paperless Post •Hair: Benito & Frank •Photographer: Jonni Super •Venue: Congregation Habonim •Caterer: Toben Food by Design •Rabbi: Eli Rubenstein •Photo booth: Imagica

Dylan’s Bat Mitzvah: November 10, 2019 My 3rd and final rendezvous with this family, and we are done… for now.  Such a fantastic night at the Bayview Golf & Country Club!! Dylan was great, we headed out into the crisp evening for some ‘Dylan’ photos before joining everyone inside for family portraits.  The ceremony was officiated by the ever pleasant Moshe Saadon, and the party tied together beautifully by Aja Zylberberg.  Everyone was ready to go, and Sole Power was on hand to lay down the party… and party hard we did.  The night rose to a crescendo which culminated, most of those in attendance would say, with the presentation of a new French Bulldog puppy into the family, I had not seen that before.  Puppy aside, we carried on into the wee hours, and then it was done, and home we did go.  Mazel Tov, guys.  I’ve enjoyed all 3 kids’ events.   The Story of Dylan’s Bat Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE   •Event Planner: Aja Zylberberg at AAvents •Photographer: Jonni Super & Justine Apple         •Venue: Bayview Golf & Country Club •Rabbi: Moshe Saadon

Bounce Entertainment was on hand to offer up the tunes and MC the event. Tiffany put her amazing spin on the evening, and K-man / breakdancer extraordinaire was on hand to show the crowd what real dancing is all about.  We partied long and hard, and finally it was done.

Adam’s Bar Mitzvah: October 26, 2019 Adam’s rehearsal took place at the City Shul under the guidance of Rabbi Elyse Goldstein.  She runs a tight rehearsal and this was no different.  The shul space does make for some interesting photography, it’s pretty dark in there which forces me to be creative… and I love it.  Once rehearsal was done, we headed out (into the cold) for a few minutes just to get some outdoor pictures.  The party was at The Rosehill Club in Midtown Toronto.  This is a pretty cool venue, delicious food, and an interesting space.  The Party Crew was on hand and just went all out with this crowd.  The accompanying violin and saxophone were the ‘vico in crustulam’.  The charming Bar Belopolski, event planner extraordinaire, tied this together beautifully.  Adam was in fine form, and had the party of his life… so far.  Mazel Tov, guys.   The Story of Adam’s Bar Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE   •Decor: Glitz and Glam    •DJ Entertainment: Party Crew Entertainment   •Makeup: TK Glam    •Event Planner: Glorious Events     •Photographer: Jonni Super   •Venue: The Rosehill     •Caterer: Encore Catering    •Rabbi: Elyse Goldstein   •Party favours: Double Chocolate Fountain

Daniel’s Bar Mitzvah: November 2, 2019 This was my second at bat with these guys, and the same venue too… and it is a great venue, I might add.  The Donaldo Club has it all, a beautiful garden, nice view, an open space for a ceremony, and delicious food once all is done.  Daniel was on the ball, Rabbi Eli Rubenstein from the Habonim Congregation was on hand to offer his expertise this time around again.  Guitar accompaniment provided by Tom Bellman brought things together so nicely, always a pleasure to hear him and the cantor Aviva Rajsky sing and play together.  Mazel Tov guys, way to go.   The Story of Daniel’s Bar Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE

Harrison’s Bar Mitzvah: November 3, 2019 I had not met Harrison before this event, but his parents and I go way back.  It was totally fun to reconnect on this crisp fall morning for a wonderful celebration.  Rabbi Yossi Sapirman and Cantor Ben Silverberg ventured south from Beth Torah to bring this whole event together, and together it came.  Harrison was the man, holding his own in the beautiful Montecito Restaurant (partly owned by director Ivan Reitman, I believe).  It’s a pretty cool venue for a mitzvah, I always like these spaces that the trendy families take over for the day.  Ceremony done, everyone headed upstairs for some schmoozing, listening to the stellar sounds of King Harvest playing in the back ground.  These boys can swing, rock, jam, whatever, and them too I have known for a long time.  Some games, drinks, nosh, and then back down to the main restaurant for a real lunch.   This is a great Toronto restaurant, say no more.  Check out the table cards, someone had some real creativity.  Great food, warm speeches, and close friends; amazing day.  Mazel Tov, guys.   The Story of Harrison’s Bar Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE […]

Jakob’s Bar Mitzvah: November 11, 2019 Well this was one celebration to write home about, now wasn’t it.  The tefillin ceremony, officiated by Rabbi Joshua Corber, was held a few days prior at the Beit Rayim synagogue followed by a fantastic party on the Saturday night.  Jakob was the man, Thursday morning was the tefillin ceremony and a delicious brunch,  just close friends and family, so warm and inviting.  We headed outside for some photos, Jakob and I, before capturing the rest of the family inside.  Then, a day off, and Saturday we were up and running.  Jordan from the Magen Boys (appears to get bigger with every event, doesn’t he?) knows just how to bring down the house with charm and energy.  This was an amazing celebration, well into the night we did carry on.  Mazel Tov guys, you did an amazing job, all of you.   The Story of Jakob’s Bar Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE   •Audio-Visual: Magen Boys •Cake: Ely’s Fine Foods •Clothing (Mitzvah): Nordstrom     •Decor: BEVY Design •DJ Entertainment: Magen Boys - Jordan   •Invitations: BEVY Design    •Makeup: BEVY Design •Hair: Fratelli’s Salon •Event Planner: BEVY Design •Photographer: Jonni Super     •Venue: Schwartz/Reisman Jewish Community Centre •Caterer: Ely’s Fine […]

Jonah & Aviva’s B’nei Mitzvah Rehearsal: October 24, 2019 So the Habonim Synagogue is finally completed and ready to go.  Very spacious and modern it is, and so we set upon it to photograph Jonah and Aviva’s Mitzvah rehearsal one afternoon.  The kids each took turns reading from the torah before we ventured into the outdoor courtyard for some foto-fun.  Once done, we headed into Cedarvale Park, my favourite park in the Fall, albeit in the parlance of our time, ‘Winter is Coming‘.  We wandered around the park taking in the crisp air until the kids had had enough.  A good day, I might add.  Mazel tov, guys!!   The Story of the Day: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos HERE

It was Leo’s bar mitzvah… on Sukkot, no less, so much festivities were in the air.  We were at the Chabad Israel Synagogue north of the city, where all family and friends did gather.  Leo and I took a stroll outside for some pix before gathering together inside for the main event.  This being Sukkot and all, lulavs and etrogs abounded… a whole lot o’ shakin’ going on, one might say.  This was a pretty cool synagogue to photograph in; the bimah is in a good place, the lighting is good, it all just worked out for the best.  Ceremony over, we headed across the street for some lunch treats, good music, heartfelt speeches, and everything party.  Good job Leo, well played!!  Mazel tov.   The Story of Leo’s Bar Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE
