Jordan's Mitzvah: Sneak Peek

What a fun weekend this was! We headed up to Tennessee to help celebrate Jordan's Bat Mitzvah with her, her family and a couple hundred friends. It was a lovely weekend and we had a great time with everyone involved!

It started on a Friday at the synagogue for some formal portraits. Jordan was a cute as she could be and her parents and brother were all so easy to work with. They made our jobs SO easy!

That evening, we headed to the 21st floor of a building for a fabulous dinner party with close family and friends, many of which flew in from out of town. The view was great and the food looked so delicious. It was a nice, laid back evening perfect for catching up and shooting the breeze.

The next night, we headed to the party. This was a party to rival all parties! The room was decked out in pinks and greens complete with flowers, two buffets, an ice cream bar and a mocktini bar for the kids. Of course we can't forget the amazing set up the DJ had along with the other vendors; a green screen, basketball net and a roller coaster simulator. Yes, a ROLLER COASTER SIMULATOR! The fantastic staff did a great job getting everything coordinated and all of the vendors were keeping everyone entertained. The night was full of dancing, laughing, chatting, and all of the traditions. Everyone seemed to have a blast, especially Jordan. Enjoy the sneak peek!

Isn't she adorable?!

Zoe's Bat Mitzvah: Sneak Peek

Last Friday and Saturday, we had so much fun with Zoe and her family during the celebration of her Bat Mitzvah. It started on Friday morning at Temple Sinai with the rehearsal. There we met the adorable Zoe for the first time. We were informed that only a day or two before, she had casts on both arms removed from a snowboarding accident! But there she was, ready to go! The family portraits went off without a hitch so we moved right into taking images of the actual rehearsal when the rabbi came in.

Then on Saturday night, we joined the family again at the Ashford Club. After a few more portraits, the party started. Everyone seemed to have a blast and so did we! The adults enjoied a few cocktails while the kids were entertained in the ballroom with some amazing DJ's. The food smelled wonderful and the decor was so perfect for the event. It was hard to pick a few images for the sneak peek as so much went on that evening! Enjoy...

Congrats Zoe!

Before the rehearsal started...


During the rehearsal the Rabbi kept making Zoe laugh (=


Flowers were everywhere at the party and they were beautiful!


There was the coolest balloon arch I have ever seen showing everyone that the Ashford Club had been transformed into was "Club Z"!


The ice sculpture was at the bar and was a drink luge for the adults. The kids, on the other hand, had a delicious cake to dig into!


The Ashford Club made some very yummy food. I mean if salad looks this good, everything else had to be fabulous right?! Also they had a "mocktail" bar for Zoe and her friends complete with frozen drinks and umbrellas!


The DJ's got the party started with some games. Zoe seemed to have alot of fun during this one!


The DJ's also had entertainers/dancers that got everyone on their feet, showed some crazy dance moves and passed out goodies (like glowsticks) all night long. They must have been exhausted by the end of the night!


Zoe's brother was on hand to work the dance floor.


The Hora!


An adorable father-daughter dance...




During the party, everyone grabbed a snowcone and sat down to watch a slideshow featuring Zoe of course!
