Zachary rocked the house at his Bar Mitzvah last Saturday! Not only did he do a fantastic service in the morning, at Temple Dor Dorim, but he was also in total control during the amazing that followed in the evening. Colorful jerseys all around, friends and family having a blast and a genuine feel-good atmosphere during the whole night. The animation was flawless, provided by the great David and his Pure Energy crew. It was a wonderful day for the Pestcoes, and I felt honored to have been a part of it!

It was an incredible day, and I couldn't be happier to have been there with you. The photos came out showing how beautiful a moment it was, and hopefully I will have plenty more to show you all in a few weeks! Thanks for everything, I enjoyed every minute of it!

Lindsay's Bat Mitzvah was a truly memorable event. Andy photographed her special day at Temple Beth El, in Boca Raton, and came back with some great images from both the service and the amazing party that followed in the evening. The room was beautiful, and the lighting was simply outstanding, as the photos can prove. The Sacks' guests had an incredible time celebrating this important milestone in Lindsay's life, and we can only congratulate them on such a great job!

Ilana and Todd

| Weddings

This amazing couple's wedding is not until late in the year, but we went ahead and did the engagement photos last week at the Morikami Gardens, in Delray Beach. Ilana and Todd wanted to enjoy a little bit of the colder weather, and we walked through the beautiful Morikami at the end of a sunny afternoon, enjoying every single minute of it. They are fun, they are in love and they are happy to know the wedding is getting closer by the day, so it was not that difficult to capture all this is in the photos. Looking forward to November, and thanks for a great day together!

Todd Cohen:

Wow...beautiful pictures. I had no idea that there was so much vision behind the lens. And my beautiful fiance certainly didn't hurt the overall quality of the shots.

| Mitzvahs

Max celebrated his Bar Mitzvah on the same day the Superbowl was being played, and it felt like he and his friends were actually watching the big game live: fun party, fun crowd and lots to eat all the time... Max did an amazing service at Temple Dor Dorim, with the party being held at Temple Beth Emet in the evening. Jazz was there to provide the great music and action, the Brenners' guests did their part by dancing, singing and having a good time. I bet Max went home feeling happy and excited for such a wonderful day. Congratulations to Mindy, Andrew, Max and Noah!

Luke's Bar Mitzvah will never be forgotten by his friends, ever... His idea for celebrating this most important moment was simply brilliant: a tailgate party at the Dolphins Stadium, followed by nothing less than the Pro Bowl! Pam, Lee and Sophie, his little sister, did an incredible job of coordinating this field trip. The day before, Luke had a great service at Temple Dor Dorim, with a nice champagne brunch following right after. For Sunday, it was football time, and Luke had a blast with his friends, while I got to see my first tailgate party. Mazel Tov, Luke!

| Mitzvahs

The Helfman's definitely know how to party! They proved it in style this past weekend, when Danny was Bar Mitzvah'd at Temple Dor Dorim. Danny did a flawless service early in the morning, and in the evening it was celebration time at the Temple, which became "Danny's Boardroom" for one night. Non-stop dancing, happy faces all around and a great crowd made for an unforgettable moment in the Helfman's lives. It was truly a pleasure to have shared the emotions with you all!

Hi Ricardo - you are the BEST photographer in the world. I already told my mom I want you to take pictures at my Bat Mitzvah & thats 5 years away!! I know the rest of your pictures of our Saturday are going to be awesome. We love you, Halli :-)

Helfmans, I can't even begin to tell you how touched I am with your kind comments! Danny's Bar Mitzvah was special, and I was thrilled to have been there for him and you. Halli, you're the sweetest, and you can bet I will be there for you too - a little older, for sure, but I will be there! Count on that. Looking forward to seeing you again soon with all the images from the great moments.
