Ellis’ Bar Mitzvah at Wherehouse 2016

I was so excited when I looked up where this Bar Mitzvah reception would be held.  Wherehouse 2016 is a unique venue in North Miami Beach, FL which is decorated from floor to ceiling with brightly colored murals, objects, and lights.  Anyone who knows me, knows I’m into bright colors, so this was such an incredible opportunity for me!  Ellis’ celebration was bright and upbeat, matching the feel of the venue perfectly.  He was the center of the attention of his friends, and it was special to capture the bond they seemed to share and the friendship they seemed to radiate.  Mazel Tov on reaching this milestone, and I wish you the joy of many more simchas to come!

Diana and Tom’s Wedding

This wedding took place on New Year’s Day, you know, the day after New Year’s Eve.  This group of family and friends had quite the busy and celebratory evening the night before, but after some caffeine consumption, were ready to celebrate Diana and Tom’s love.  They had planned on an outdoor ceremony by the lake in their community, but the weather had other plans.  After an outdoor processional, the ceremony was moved indoors.  With a quick placement of a flash behind the officiant, I was ready to go.  After a few more bridal party pictures once the rain cleared up, this group was ready to party.  The party was pretty laid back.  I’m assuming the heavy partying happened the night before!  But sometimes a relaxed celebration is all you need to connect with the couple and soak up the love that they’re radiating, and Diana and Tom had plenty!
