by Jonni Super· September 14, 2022· in Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah· 0 comments

Abby’s Bat Mitzvah: September 1, 2022 We started the evening, Abby and I, with a little walking about. Snapping away as the sun dipped down over the horizon. Adding in some sibs and parents, we walked across the street to get away from the crowds. When we returned, we were warmly greeted by grandparents and cousins, all ready to go. Photos done outside, it was time to party… and Abby was amazing come party time. She got right to the point from the get go, her speech set the tone for the night, and we were off to the races. Dave Monaco from Magen Boys held court for the evening, and took the party up a notch. Delightful speeches, delicious food, and just fun times. Way to go guys, mazel tov.

Ella’s Bat Mitzvah: August 8, 2022 This was a special bat mitzvah for me, I got to see some people I have not seen in a long time. We caught up, and reminisced about the days of yore, and then we were off to the races… a mitzvah to photograph. We started out at Trinity Bellwoods park, north side, where we could get some great family photos, immediate family, grandparents, and cousins. We wrapped that up and headed to Union Restaurant in the newly hip Ossington neighbourhood. Ella was fantastic, she really had fun with the camera, and then had a great time during the ceremony. She made everyone so proud. Things wrapped up with a spectacular meal as the sun went down. Mazel Tov guys, so nice to see you after so many years.

Ben’s Bar Mitzvah: August 28, 2022 A beautiful day at Beth Emeth, and it’s Ben’s bar mitzvah. I took Ben for a little stroll around the neighbourhood before adding his young brother into the frame. Add some parents, grandparents, and a few cousins, and you have a wonderful family celebration. We wrapped photos outside and headed into the sanctuary for the main event. Ben was in great shape, reading from the torah with enthusiasm and confidence. We wrapped the ceremony and headed into a delicious lunch; hora, speeches, sweet table, the whole enchilada. Way to go Ben great day.

Amitai’s Bar Mitzvah: August 28, 2022 Photos by: Carlos Photographing bar mitzvahs at Hart House is always a humbling experience. With its Gothic-revival exteriors and highly ornate ceilings and walls, Hart House gives off an atmosphere of grandeur, calmness and aesthetics that few other places can match. The weather on this fine early autumn morning was the perfect mix of sunny and cool, and Amitai seized it to its fullest. He nailed photo after photo like a pro but the modelling traits must run in the family because just look at those portraits! Everyone looked so radiant and full of love for each other. The ceremony was full of emotional, intimate and touching moments of familial love—everyone was so proud of Amitai, who won everyone over with his wit and charm. But the party was just getting started—the hora was fast-paced and exciting, and dad took it upon himself to show everyone in attendance how proud he was of his boy. Vegetarian cuisine, lots of candies, photo booth and heartfelt speeches topped off the day. What an honour to be the one documenting this event. Mazel tov, everyone!

Daniel’s Bar Mitzvah Rehearsal: August 22/26, 2022 Photos by: Jonni & Justine This was a two part event, both at the Family Shul. A rehearsal first with the immediate family, followed a few days later with a photoshoot with the extended family. Daniel was in great form on both occasions. He came for a walk, looked stylish, and really knew how to look chill in front of the camera. His sister, also down with the photos. In fact, this whole family had this event locked up. Both days, Justine and I found some nice spots around the synagogue before heading indoors for some torah photos. Just a fun way to celebrate a special occasion. Mazel tov, Daniel.

Noah’s Bar Mitzvah Photoshoot: August 19, 2022 Photos by: Justine So Noah’s photoshoot did not go as planned in as much as the rain was at play. That being said, fun was the top priority, and it did not falter. We started out at the family home in the backyard before the rain. Then it was rain on, rain off, rain on, as I did my best to capture Noah between raindrops. We finally opted for some drier territory, so we headed off to The Bayt where we met the extended family. Noah was fun, active, and always up for a joke. He is very close with all sibs, and it shows. Mazel tov guys, that was short, wet, but very sweet.

Evan’s Bar Mitzvah: August 18, 2022 This was my first time back here in a long time, at the Grand Luxe Event Boutique on Bayview. Evan was good to go as we set off on a photography adventure. A bright morning, we had to find some cover from the sun. He was in great form, working the camera. We finally invited the rest of the family to join us, and then the grandparents. Once done, it was time for the main celebration, so inside we did go where Rabbi David Cooper held down ceremonial duties. Evan was the star of the morning, read his portion beautifully, and made everyone proud. Off to lunch, and Jessica Baker had this event covered.

Jacob, Evan, & Harrison’s Tri-Mitzvah: June 25, 2022 This mitzvah day was one of the few tri-mitzvahs that take place in Toronto every year, and they are always a blast. I met three (3) families at Congregation Habonim on this beautiful summer day for their celebration. Jacob, Evan, and Harrison were all fantastic, coming together to produce one happy simcha. I photographed each family outside before heading into the Habonim sanctuary for the ceremony. Three (3) torahs were taken from the Aron Kodesh on this day, due to… well, three (3) mitzvah boys. Everything went according to plan, great service, warm speeches, delicious food, just a fun way to spend the day. The Story of this Tri-Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE

Shaina’s Bat Mitzvah Party: June 23, 2022 This was a two-part celebration, first the family in Alexander Muir Park, and followed up by a kids party at Kehillat Shaarei Torah on Bayview.

Everyone was in good spirits, end of the day, golden hour, could not be better. Then off to the synagogue we did go, where we took some photos in the sanctuary before dancing the afternoon away with a whole lot of Shaina’s friends. Some heartfelt speeches, delicious food, a crazy hora and dance party, just complete fun. Mazel tov, guys. Shaina, way to go!!

Rachel’s Bat Mitzvah Rehearsal & Dinner: June 18, 2022 This was a new one for me, we had a rehearsal at Beth David the day before Rachel’s bat mitzvah, and then on the Saturday after, we all headed down to Harbour 60 restaurant for dinner before embarking on a boat tour of the Toronto Harbour. So cool. Let’s start at the beginning, shall we. Rachel was good to go at the rehearsal, we did a little walk around the synagogue, and into the park across the street before inviting the rest of the family to join us. Late afternoon photoshoot, light coming in through the trees, everyone looked great. We headed in for some torah photos before calling it quits for the day. Fast forward to Saturday night, and everyone was ready to party. Harbour 60 is an awesome restaurant downtown. A whole bunch of Rachel’s friends were there to celebrate with her, and celebrate they did. Some kids fooling around, some individual friends photos, some family shots, great food, heartfelt speeches, and we were off walking through the city to pier. I waved goodbye and the night was done.

Amelie’s Bat Mitzvah: June 17, 2022 I love photographing outside this synagogue, the Family Shul. I usually use some neighbourhood gardens as a backdrop, and today was no exception. The kindest of families let us use their beautiful flowers in our photos… and Amelie was one of those flowers, no? She looked stunning as we walked around the neighbourhood. Finally we added in some ‘sibs’ and ‘rants’, and then the ‘big‘ family showed up for their 15 minutes in the limelight. It was just a fun day. We wrapped up and headed into the sanctuary to light candles before Shabbat made herself know. Mazel tov, guys, just the best way to wind down the week.

Kara’s Backyard Bat Mitzvah: June 12, 2022 This was my second time around with this family, and it was so special to see them all again. The weather was suspect on this particular morning, which made for some rain avoidance when necessary, but that was not going to dull anyone’s enthusiasm in the celebration of Kara. She was good to go; we did a little walk around the ‘hood, not too far, but far enough to find some interesting places to photograph. Then back home for some family photos before finding our way to the sanctuary / tent in which our ceremony would take place. Rabbi Cooper was holding down ceremony duties, and had everyone participating and celebrating. Kara was wonderful, she spoke beautifully and made everyone proud. A little hora at the end was a nice touch. Mazel tov, guys. The Story of Kara’s Bat Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE •Kara dress: K.

Reese looked amazing, ready to go as we walked around the Beach Club. We invited the rest of the family into the mix before we wrapped up all our family photos. The dinner was special; warm speeches, lots of laughs, just a great time had by all. Then everyone went upstairs to where the party was setting up. Lucas from PURE Entertainment was on deck to bring the house down… and bring the house down he did. This was a wild party, Lucas style. From the bubble wrap dance, to the musical chairs, nothing was stopping this party from raising the roof. We went well into the night, and had an amazing time. Mazel tov, Reese, way to go.

The ever-charming Ben Silverberg held down ceremony duties, while Logan played her part beautifully. Once the torah was but away, the party began, Magen Boys holding down perfect party duties as they always do. Logan, way to go, you were fantastic.

Sadie’s Bat Mitzvah: June 4, 2022 This was one very special bat mitzvah. Sadie was in fine form and ready to go when I arrived at the Oakdale Golf & Country Club on a stunning Saturday afternoon. Sadie looked amazing and carried herself with such charm and grace. We walked around the club-house, finding all the little areas of interest in which to photograph. The rest of the family joined in for some fun before the uncles, aunts, and cousins showed up. Once that was done, we all headed inside where the always affable Aviva Rajsky was waiting to take us through a ceremony bar none. Aviva has an exquisite voice. Some schmoozing post-ceremony, and it was then party time. Party planner extraordinaire, Jessica Baker was holding the reigns on this party (as she always does), and Chief Magen Boy, Jian was on deck to bring this party home, and bring it he did.

She and her sister have a wonderful connection which was obviously evident. Add some parents, then a couple of grandparents, and we were done. Off we went into the ceremony. This synagogue is a wonderful place to photograph, it is spacious and bright and just photographs really well. Ceremony over, it was time for a little lunch before everyone rested up for the next part of this celebration. I met the family in the late afternoon on Sunday and immediately took Isabel for little walk around queen street. We eventually headed up to Graffiti Alley, one of the cool Toronto places to photograph, I got some stellar pictures of everybody.

Taylor’s Bat Mitzvah: May 6, 2022 It’s always exciting to visit a new synagogue, and this one did not disappoint. Chabad Bayview is new to me, built just a few years ago. Quite stunning, I might add, but not as stunning as the bat mitzvah girl, Taylor. She looked amazing at part one of the two part bat mitzvah. Friday evening was the ceremony at Chabad Bayview, an occasion filled with love and joy. Taylor and I had our little photoshoot before adding in the rest of the family… and a large family that was. Triplets, how often does that happen? Don’t reach for Google, I looked it up, 1 in 10,000. Back to the mitzvah. So, lovely photos of the whole gang before we headed in to the ceremony. Shabbat was about to start, so photos were over. I met up with everyone post Shabbat at the Warehouse. Not been back here in a while, (COVID), but now it was game on. What a party. David Monaco of Magen Boys was holding court. Jessica Baker kept the evening moving in perfect step, and the party went off without a hitch. Everyone looked amazing and went all out at this […]

I had a lot of fun with Elan, his sister Jasmine, and his parents. Elan was a pleasure to work with, friendly, funny, considerate, and open to my photography direction. After the family shots, we went inside for the service. Michael Rubin made a welcoming introduction to the 60 or so guests, and the morning service proceeded smoothly. Elan did an excellent job reading his parsha, making his family very proud. After the service, we went next door for a Kiddush lunch. The food was plentiful and delicious, and Elan’s parents spoke lovingly about their son. Mazal Tov, Elan! The Story of Elan’s Bar Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE

So, to recap… the rehearsal was flawless, we wandered around outside in the garden and enjoyed the summer sun, taking photos and laughing. We finally went inside for a little taste of the Torah. The luncheon brought fourth a different experience, the jazz trio’s presence was usurped by Liv’s brother on piano, and her cousin and uncle on drums and bass respectively. Quite the musical family, and I know this from personal experience…and then to the party. The factory is a pretty cool place to hold an event, we photographed outside before sunset, portraits of grandparents and cousins and extended family, and then it was inside for the entrance, the hora, various speeches, snacks and dinner and dancing and everything that goes with it. Magan Boys were on hand to hold down party duties and as usual, killed it. Liv, amazing few days hanging with you guys. The Story of Liv’s Bat Mitzvah: […]
