Zach's Bar Mitzvah
It was such a pleasure photographing Zach’s Bar Mitzvah at Ledbury Jewish Centre on May 26, 2022. It was a perfect spring day, and the family looked stunning in their Bar Mitzvah outfits.
I started the photography with a mini-session of Zach. He looked so handsome in his navy suit. He was a natural in front of the camera, and his great sense of humor made the shoot light and fun. Next, I worked with Zach's sisters who were also a pleasure to work with. We captured some beautiful moments together that the family will treasure for years to come.
Then came shots with Zach’s parents and the immediate family. From their playful interaction, I could tell this was a tight knit and fun-loving family. We got some great shots – some casual and relaxed, some more formal.
We then moved into the shul for a beautiful service led by Rabbi Gansburg. Zach did an outstanding job reading his Torah portion, making his family so proud.
After the service, family and friends gathered in the lovely, bright social hall for a delicious buffet-style brunch including bagels, lox, cream cheese, salads, and more. I loved all the tennis-themed décor, and I made sure to capture all the details. One of the highlights was taking shots of Zach and his sisters throwing tennis balls in the air. This was a fun, active moment to remember. Throughout the brunch, I captured shots of guests schmoozing and enjoying the heartfelt speeches and L’Chaim to Zach.
After lunch, I took shots of Zach with his friends and extended family in front of the beautiful artwork in the front hallway, creating some special shots to remember.
Overall, it was a fantastic morning filled with so much love and joy. It was an honour to be part of Zach's special day and to capture all the wonderful memories of his simcha. Mazal Tov, Zach and family!
