Last month, I had the pleasure of working with the very kind and very talented Darin Fong. He was looking for an assistant to shoot a Bat Mitzvah and I stepped up since I had never experienced one before!

I was shocked at the effort that was put in to making Sydney’s 13 birthday and Jewish tradition perfect! The ceremony was held down the street at the Congregation Beth Israel and the after party was down the street at the La Jolla Hyatt.

The colors were pink and brown, and the Hyatt did a fantastic job at everything! You can tell there is so much planning that went in to this!

mmmmmm…my favorite….
Smoothies for the kids!
Lots of games, like DDR, Wii, Motorcycle games, etc:
Each guest got their name airbrushed on a pair of pink shorts:

You sit in front of the green screen and it puts your head on a dancing body! The birthday girl is in the middle:

Guests could custom make bracelets with their names:
On to Act 2! The adult’s tables:

I had such a fun time! I’d love to shoot any Bar/Bat Mitzvah’s in the future, if anyone is looking for a photographer!

XOXO,
