Jay’s Bar Mitzvah Rehearsal: July 14, 2020 My 3rd and final trip around the block with these guys, and Jay was on deck. Back to The Family Shul we did go, albeit the old building steeped in history. Torah photos out of the way, we headed back to the family home for a little backyardigan action. Of course some family fun was in order with these guys. Just nice to be back in the game again during COVID. Mazel Tov, guys!!! The Story of Jay’s Bar Mitzvah Rehearsal: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE

Lucas’ ZOOM Mitzvah: June 20, 2020 My second time around with this family was quite unlike the first, as we are in a ZOOM world, so we have to “Adapt, Darwin, I Ching. Whatever man, we gotta roll with it…” (obscure quote but a good one for the times)… and so we did, adapt, that is. Everything was set up in Lucas’ grandmother’s house, and ready to roll for a Friday evening family photoshoot and rehearsal, and then the Saturday morning ZOOM. Lucas and I headed out into the ‘hood, me in my mask, Lucas in the coolest of threads. The Friday was pretty casual; boys, grandparents, parents, everyone in shorts and button-downs. Saturday was the big ticket, and big it was; people tuning in, sending love and good wishes, all the fun without the nerves and anxiety of a live crowd. Lucas was fantastic, reciting his torah portion effortlessly. Heartfelt speeches by family, some ZOOM cheers, and then it was over. A fine morning had by all. Mazel tov!!

Cole’s Bar Mitzvah Rehearsal: June 19, 2020 Well finally I got back into a synagogue last week during COVID, and it was…pretty much like usual except for the mask wearing, but that’s what long lenses are for, right? Cole was fantastic, sailed through his portion with ease. We got some torah photos as is customary before heading outside. This was at the Chabad of Markham, my old stomping grounds where I grew up, and always a pleasure to return. Being summer, we had to find a garden for some photos, and of course a grandmother will always come through. Cole, Mazel Tov, great job.

Brandon’s Bar Mitzvah: March 7, 2020 This was my second time around with this family, and it was wonderful to be reunited. Brandon’s rehearsal took place at the City Shul, the very end of winter snow prevented us from shooting outside but we managed to capture amazing photos in the sanctuary. After some family and solo Brandon, we packed up and headed down to the Friday night dinner at the Beach. Delicious food, fun company, and warm family hugs, it was a special night. I’m sure the Saturday ceremony was effortless. Mazel Tov, guys!!

Ben’s Bar Mitzvah Rehearsal: February 6, 2020 We all arrived at Beth Radom on a cold day in February. Toronto got it’s snow already, and it was cold… but not inside the sanctuary. This is a warm loving family, which got everyone into the mood. This was my second time around with these guys, same synagogue, same extended family, everyone just a few years older. Ben has grown up, I dare say, now he’s almost a man. Got some great photos at the torah before adding in a whole lot of family members for group shots. Lovely night. Mazel too, guys.

Justin’s Bar Mitzvah Rehearsal: January 16, 2020 Justin’s rehearsal took place at Beth Tzedec in January, before the weather turned cold… but it was still too cold to photograph anything outside. My second time around with this family, we had another fantastic Photo shoot. Justin looks taller since the first time around by the way. Once torah pictures were done, we just had some fun in the synagogue and headed home. I’m sure the ceremony was spectacular. Mazel Tov!!!

Marlee’s Bat Mitzvah: January 11, 2020 First mitzvah of the new year, Marlee and her family at the Maple Downs Golf & Country Club. A very rainy Saturday evening presented itself, and our expectation of some outside photos was not to be. Marlee and I walked around, found some interesting spaces, and snapped away. Once family photos were done, we were ready for the ceremony. Marlee was fantastic, graceful and confident throughout. The ceremony was officiated by Moshe Saadon, always delightful and inclusive. The Megan Boys were on hand to drive this simcha home. Warm speeches, loving friends and family, and generally a fantastic time. Mazel tov!!

Joshua’s Bar Mitzvah, December 14, 2019 (e-Zone)

Joshua’s Bar Mitzvah, December 14, 2019 Joshua’s bar mitzvah took place at the e-Zone on Saturday night. The e-Zone for those of you who do not know is basically a huge game fest for the kids. The WhirlyBall, laser tag, dance, golf, pool tables, table tennis, basketball, just every kind kid or teen activity that comes to mind. And these guys took full advantage of this. Not to mention that Jay from Bounce Entertainment was on hand for the hora and dance portion of this party, that was only half the fun. The games were, as usual, just a blast. But the most amazing thing about this bar mitzvah I’m sure everyone would agree, it is the video entrance for Joshua that was made before the party. Props to Dell Video who did such an amazing job. The theme for the evening was Marvel, superheroes and the like. The video if you can get your hands on a, involves Josh, his mom, and sister, and all are made up as superheroes with superpowers. Definitely worth watching again. Guys, this is a great evening. Mazel Tov, Guys!! have a great holiday. The Story of Joshua’s Bar Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE […]

David’s Bar Mitzvah: September 15, 2019 Photographed by Ben Gaum Finally…….they’re done. 3 bar mitzvahs in 3 years…..and they’re finally done!! We were back where it all began at the Sephardic synagogue on Bathurst, always a wonderful venue in which to celebrate. Having had the pleasure of not only shooting the bar mitzvahs of all 3 sons in the family, but literally watching them grow up since the day they were born has been such a blessing and an honor. Hopefully they give me enough time to get my cameras ready before the wedding 😉 Mazel tov!! The Story of David’s Bar Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE

Zachary’s Tefillin Ceremony: December 9, 2019 Zachary’s tefillin service Took place very early on a Monday morning at the Village Shul in Forest Hill. This early bird definitely caught the worm this morning, 7 AM ready to go with little more than a minyan but everyone so excited for the mitzvah boy to be in da house. Zachary was great, judging by his performance Monday, I’m sure the Saturday service was perfect. He just did a fantastic job before we all headed out to start the day.

Trevor’s Bar Mitzvah: November 17, 2019 I met trevor quite a few months ago when he came to my studio to photograph some pictures for the table centrepieces. That was the beginning of this adventure, and it has now come to a close. Rehearsal was held at Beth Emeth Synagogue on a chilly Fall evening, and then the party (to end all parties) was at the Avenue Banquet Hall on Steeles. I love photographing in both venues, the synagogue is spacious and bright, and the Avenue just rocks, so easy to capture everything. Trevor was great, shouldering his 6 string Fender Strat to entertain. This was offset by the gorgeous jazz stylings of Tessah Dunn during the quieter moments of the party. Bounce Entertainment was on hand for the more upbeat dance party, Aaron showing this bunch of teens just how to party. Esther Marcus, event planner extraordinaire, tied this event up very nicely. All in all, great food, warm speeches, amazing music, and a fun evening had by all. Mazel Tov, guys!!!

Abigail’s Bat Mitzvah: November 23, 2019 We started off with a rehearsal a few days prior at Beth Tikvah Synagogue, everything was good to go, Abigail looks stunning, carried yourself with grace and elegance. I would expect nothing less. We were all back in the synagogue for the Saturday night havdalah service. I arrived just in time for the candle lighting, and captured that part of the service pretty much in the dark. That was just the beginning of a fantastic evening. Lucas from PURE Entertainment was on the hand deliver a spectacular no-holds-barred party. Party planner extraordinaire Heidi Gruenspan tied everything together beautifully, and Lucas on the mic, me with the camera, and of course, with Abigail, we made a great team. This party just rocked.

Tanner’s Bar Mitzvah: November 23, 2019 This was my second time around with this family, and it was really special to come full circle with these guys. We started off with a quick rehearsal at the Temple Kol Ami synagogue before heading over to the Richmond Hill Golf & Country Club for a fantastic brunch. Tanner was in fine form, we managed to find a ball pit at the synagogue day school and took full advantage. Yes, just like those McDonald ball pits you played in as a kid. From there it was into the sanctuary for some family photos and rehearsal time before the ceremony. I met everyone at Richmond Hill once the ceremony was over for a truly spectacular lunch. The food here is always amazing, I highly recommend it. Much laughter, fun, dancing ensued over the course of the next few hours… and now we’re done with all mitzvahs.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Daniel was on the ball, Rabbi Eli Rubenstein from the Habonim Congregation was on hand to offer his expertise this time around again.

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 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.

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

Leo’s Bar Mitzvah: October 20, 2019 One early morning quite north of the city, I did go. 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.

Bodhi’s Bar Mitzvah: October 18, 2019 I love photographing in this synagogue, so bright and inviting Beth David is. Bodhi had this event wrapped up from the start. The rehearsal on Tuesday was just a taste, and then the main event on Thursday was the ‘cerasus super tecta‘, and Bodhi was the star. It being Sukkot and all, there was a ‘whole lot of shakin’ going on’, which is always nice, not the usual mitzvah stuff. Amazing family, great food, heartfelt speeches, and warm hearts abounded.

Tal’s Bat Mitzvah: October 12, 2019 Photographed by: Ben Gaum I had a great time shooting this event. The weather was beautiful and we got to shoot the majority of the family portraits outdoors in the sunshine. Tal and the rest of her family were energetic, enthusiastic and ready to party, and party we did in the York Mills Gallery… all night long. The Magen Boys did not disappoint (do they ever?) as they kept the party going at level 10 the entire time. Fantastic food, fantastic energy and a great night had by all. Mazel Tov!!
