Josh’s Bar Mitzvah: June 11, 2017 Josh’s bar mitzvah rehearsal and party was a fun and spirited two day event. We have the rehearsal on Sunday, and two weeks later we had the ceremony and party.

The party then move to the DANI Centre on Bathurst where Bounce Entertainment was ready to take everything to a higher level.

Harrison’s Bar Mitzvah: June 10, 2017 Harrison’s Bar Mitzvah rehearsal took place in the beautiful Beth Emeth Synagogue in Toronto; fantastic stained glass windows and a warm and inviting space. My favourite photo of the month was from this rehearsal, Harrison dressing the Torah, his face is reflected in the back of his Dad’s glasses. These guys were a fun group, Harrison’s two sisters are a delight, trying to keep up with them will be a chore in the future, I’m sure. Lot’s of running around. Harrison was calm and relaxed and that made for a smooth rehearsal.  I was done and Ben took over photographing the party… … Well you know when there are Maritimers involved, it’s going to be a good one.  I have known this family since we both lived out east, and it was nice to reconnect.  The eZone was a ton of fun and kids and parents took full advantage of the amazing activities it has to offer.  Harrison and his high-energy gang kept me on my toes the entire time, back and forth, in and out, ducking here and there, but always fun.   The Story of the Day HERE All Photos HERE   •Cake: Le Délice Fine […]

Naomi’s Bat Mitzvah: June 10, 2017 I met Naomi’s mom as she officiated my nephew’s bar mitzvah a year ago. We hit it off and decided to work together on her daughter’s bat mitzvah. This is a wonderful family, we had a fun rehearsal at the Lodzer Centre a few days before, and then topped it off on Saturday night with a splendid party at the Pickle Barrel on Highway 7.  Bounce Entertainment was on hand to rock this venue, and kept the crowd going well into the night. Naomi was fantastic, such a little powerhouse. Pictures don’t capture adequately the beautiful song she sang for her father, you will have to track down the video for that. It was uniquely engaging. This brother-sister team have such a great rapport, good job parents.  Thanks for having me along.   The Story of the Day HERE All Photos are HERE   •Audio-Visual: CV media •Cake: Jennifer Grossman    •DJ Entertainment: Bounce Entertainment    •Invitations: The Pickle Barrel Markham   •Makeup: makeup@sigibloomberg.com  •Party Planner: The Pickle Barrel Markham •Photographer: Jonni Super •Videographer: CV Media •Ceremony Venue: The Lodzer Centre •Party Venue: The Pickle Barrel Markham  •Rabbi: Arlene Moshe

Eli’s Bar Mitzvah Rehearsal: June 4, 2017 Eli’s Rehearsal took place at the fabulous new Forest Hill Jewish Centre on Spadina just north of St. Clair. The space is just fantastic to photograph in, natural light and bright. Eli was great, coming with me for a walk around the synagogue, reading from the Torah, posing with family, just about everything I asked him to do. This was a long three-hour session, and by the end, even though there was a hint of ‘fading away from hunger’, he still remained upbeat and positive. It was a pleasure to photograph this family. I’m sure the Saturday service was amazing.   The Story of the Day HERE All Photos HERE

Jake’s Bar Mitzvah: May 27, 2017 Jake’s bar mitzvah rehearsal took place in the in Beth Tzedec Synagogue On Bathurst Street just south of Eglinton. This is a grand synagogue, one of the largest in North America, I believe. The kids were great, Jake and his brother definitely making the most out of this simcha.  A good looking family and easy to photograph, they came across as playful and warm. I was only able to shoot the rehearsal but Ben was there to capture the night party… … and what a blast it was.  A super original swank downtown venue, Megan Boys entertainment, and a cool family… it was a recipe for a perfect evening and it did not disappoint.   I had so much fun at this event.  All of the family and friends in attendance were determined to make this a night one that nobody was going to forget.  Its not often you attend a bar mitzvah where the parents and adults are ‘out-partying’ the kids.  Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this celebration.  What a blast!!   The Story of the Day HERE All photos HERE   •Clothing (Mitzvah): Crawford •Decor: MB Designs – Marla Brown •DJ Entertainment: Magen […]

Eli’s Bar Mitzvah: June 3, 2017 I photographed Eli’s bar mitzvah rehearsal at Beth Torah, Yossi Sapirman’s beautiful synagogue on Dufferin near Lawrence. I love this venue, specially during the day, the light come streaming in and bathes us a warm glow.  Eli was great, his parents I’ve known for a number of years, and I’ve been looking forward to meeting the kids and photographing them in a traditional settings. The rehearsal went flawlessly, the kids definitely played it up for the camera, with much brotherly jesting back and forth.  The Friday night dinner prior to the Saturday mitzvah was a celebration of food, humour, and good times. The dinner was held at Sopra Upper Lounge, and it was simply put… delicious.   The Story of the Day HERE All Photos HERE   •Clothing (Mitzvah): Crawford Boys Clothing •Shoes (Mitzvah): Shoe Company •Clothing (Mom): Ted Baker  – Nordstrom (via Tamara Glick , personal shopper) •Clothing (Dad): Nordstrom     •Florist: Periwinkle •Makeup: Sunil Prakash – The Lid Lounge •Hair: Sunil Prakash – The Lid Lounge •Party Planner: Vivian Ringwald-Levine (2Steps Ahead Events) •Photographer: Jonni Super •Venue: Beth Torah •Caterer: Food Dudes •Rabbi: Yossi Sapirman •Shabbat dinner: Sopra Upper Lounge

Naomi’s Bat Mitzvah: May 27, 2017 Naomi’s Bat Mitzvah Rehearsal took place at Bait Rayim at the Reisman Centre on Bathurst. This synagogue always plays into a photographer’s hand; beautiful white walls create a stunning backdrop which bathes everyone in warm white light.   The chapel is so inviting and allows for a fun photo shoot. I must add that Naomi and her sister Alana were quite special at this simcha.  They both looked stunning during the rehearsal and partied well into the night. Speaking of the party, this took place at the Eagles Nest Golf Club north on Dufferin. I have photographed here before and was very happy to be back again. This too is a photographers dream, sweeping green manicured lawns create a backdrop which could only be envied by photographers of yore.  This was a truly a wild and crazy Argentinian party to end all wild and crazy Argentinian parties, going all the way to 1AM without stopping to breathe.  Just when I thought thought things were slowing down… around 11pm, they kicked it up another notch. Magen Boys once again, made this dance floor come alive, and lived up to their name.  My only regret is that both daughters are now past mitzvah […]

Aiden’s Bat Mitzvah: May 6, 2017 Be forewarned… if you are going to a Bain event, you better be ready to party!!  This family does not stop for anyone or anything.  From the moment I got there till the moment I hobbled home, the party was still going strong. Jonni had to take over as I was DONE!!  The Uptown Loft is one of our favourite places to photograph; this Magen Boys venue sure packs a punch.  The vibe, the energy, the food…..always a killer party.  Aiden looked beautiful in blue and presented her mitzvah exquisitely.  A highlight of the ceremony was Aiden and Haley singing quite beautifully together in harmony. (The accompaniment wasn’t too shabby either.)  This was, as is usual with the Bains, quite a heavy hitting affair. You’ve all been to the Bain weddings, now get ready for the Bain mitzvahs.     Selected photos HERE All photos HERE   •Decor: Smash Event Design •DJ Entertainment: Magen Boys – Daniel Carson •Florist: Smash Event Design •Invitations: Ladybugs Creative Stationary •Makeup: Orly Waldman •Hair: Kozeta Salon •Photographer: Jonni Super & Ben Gaum •Videographer: Redstone Video •Venue: Uptown Loft •Rabbi: Denise Handlarski –  Oraynu •Photobooth: Event Circle

Matias’ Bar Mitzvah: April 29th, 2017 I’ve known this family since I photographed Gabriella, the sister, about five years ago. This was her older brother Matias’ bar mitzvah at the Shir Libeynu Synagogue. I love the Shir Libyenu congregation; so unique and inclusive.  It was a joy to be back here again, very warm and spirited.  Matias was fantastic; he read well, spoke beautifully, and was a pleasure to photograph. I was able to photograph the ceremony and brunch but it was up to Ben to take care of the party… …The bar mitzvah took place at the beautiful Rosehill Lounge.  A hidden gem right in the middle of the city.  The beautiful exposed brick walls and dark wood finishes was a great space to photograph.  The family arrived and I could tell immediately they were going to be warm, fun and ready to have a great time.  Judging by the look on everyone’s faces they did not disappoint.   All photos HERE Selected photos HERE   •DJ Entertainment: Magen Boys •Photographer: Jonni Super & Ben Gaum •Venue: The Rosehill •Caterer: Encore Catering •Rabbi: Aviva Goldberg

Samara’s Bat Mitzvah: April 30th, 2017 Sunday night I was back again with Vivian (party planner extraordinaire) and Mitch (videographer supreme) at The Factory photographing Samara’s Bat Mitzvah. I love this location, a very hip downtown look in North Toronto.   I’ve known Samara’s parents for quite a while, but it was a pleasure to finally photograph these guys as they ‘got down and partied hard’.  We had a great opportunity for some photos outside before everyone arrived, Samara looked stunning in white.  From from what I hear, she swings a pretty mean baseball bat. The evening was spectacular, Samara was fantastic, recited her Mitzvah portion with style and grace.  As usual, Superfly Entertainment rocked hard late into the night.   All Photos HERE Selected Photos HERE    •Cake: Baked With Joy and Dutches of Dough •Clothing (Mitzvah): Style Lab •Clothing (Dad): Ed’s Fine Clothing •Decor: S & H Design Co. •DJ Entertainment: Superfly Entertainment    •Invitations: S & H Design Co.  •Makeup: Nina Benbihy •Hair: Maya Cabessa Hair •Party Planner: 2 Steps Ahead Events •Photographer: Jonni Super Photography •Videographer: Mitchell Belman Loco Chico Productions    •Venue: The Factory Lounge •Caterer: Encore Catering

Magen Boys were in full swing raising the roof as usual, David holding down the MC position.  This party went into the wee hours, and set the stage for a very tired Sunday morning, I’m sure..   All Photos HERE Selected Photos HERE   •Audio-Visual: Magen Boys •Cake: Jodi Denberg •Decor: Bee and Bee Foral & Event Design •DJ Entertainment: Magen Boys •Florist: Mimi and Ry •Invitations: Elyse Hildebrand     •Makeup: Koko and Co •Hair: Koko and Co •Party Planner: Vivian Ringwald Levine •Photographer: Jonni Super •Videographer: Mitchell Belman     •Venue: Four Seasons Toronto    •Rabbi: David Cooper •Other Stuff: Photo Booth

Nathan’s Bar Mitzvah: April 28th, 2017 I photographed Nathan at his bar mitzvah rehearsal at the Beit Rayim Synagogue north of Toronto. This is always an amazing venue to photograph both the portraits and the rehearsal offering both variety and beautiful light for indoor and outdoor pictures. This is such a lovely family, all three kids.  As with sibs that are close in age, they play nicely most of the time, are goofy some of the time, but were a joy to photograph all the time. I photographed the rehearsal but was unable to photograph the party so Ben took over…   …it’s always a blast shooting events for old friends.  Sandra and I basically grew up together at summer camp out on the east coast where we honed our skills for partying and having a good time.  It paid off in spades at the eZone on this fantastic Saturday night.  The kids were amazing and everyone had a great time.  Shooting the Ezone is always a blast…especially when it turns into a camp reunion party!!   All Photos HERE Selected Photos HERE   •Cake: Courtney Cowan •Decor: TWSS Balloon Décor •Makeup: Alisa Lyons •Hair: Paula Benedetto •Photographer: Jonni Super & Ben Gaum •Venue: The eZone […]

Joey’s Bat Mitzvah: April 8, 2017 This was a truly special and delightful weekend for me, it’s not often I get to see my teenage photography subject stand up in front of a crowd and belt out a couple of classic jazz numbers, very surprising but amazing.   Joey did it with style and grace belying her age. Rabbi Elyse Goldstein runs an engaging service at City Shul and this rehearsal was no exception, in between the “serious must do’s”, the gang rose the occasion, and that occasion was pure fooling around. This family was all about fun; appropriate when necessary but letting loose when they could.

The usual characters were in attendance; the amazing Kyryll was spinning on his head ‘out of control’, a whole lot of dancers, and the fab Justin as DJ, all were in fine form.  Josh was great, he is a charismatic and charming young man who, if the speeches were all true, is one fine athlete.  His posse of boys were warm, funny, and spoke lovingly of their friend.  This was a great party guys, thanks for having me along.   All photos HERE Selected photos HERE   Audio-Visual: SoundX Entertainment Cake: Loblaws DJ Entertainment: Magen Boys Makeup: Kozeta Salon Hair: Kozeta Salon Photographer: Jonni Super Specialty Food: SugarPop Rentals Venue: Sala Caboto Caterer: Sala Caboto Rabbi: Mel Koenigsberg

I was so happy to be able to accommodate their request, and we spent a wonderful few hours at the beautiful Beth Sholom synagogue reminiscing on old times.

Evan’s Bar Mitzvah: November 12, 2016 Photographed by Ben I could tell I was in for a good night the minute the family walked in.  Lose, fun and ready to get the party started, there was no holding back from anything….kids and adults alike.  Add to the fact that Mitch, our videographer, was a guest …the photo-booth was popping all night long.  It was great to see the Evan enjoying himself so much.  Thanks for having me photograph you.   Ben   All photos are HERE Selected photos are HERE   Cake – Chocolate Charm Decor – Traceable Marketing DJ – Sole Power  Party Planner – Traceable ( Tracy Leparulo) Photographer – Ben Gaum Video – Andre Pimental Location – The Boulevard Room
