It took them over two years, but Beatriz and Carlin finally managed to come down to Florida once again in order to have their "Trash the Dress" session at the beach, like they always said they would. It ended up being a great late afternoon time spent together, and the dress was trashed indeed! I wish you a long life of happiness together, you're a great couple!

I photographed Benjamin, Andrew's older brother, a couple of years ago for his Bar Mitzvah, and time just flew by.. We blinked and it was Andrew who was Bar Mitzvah'd this past weekend! The Sandlers celebrated it just like how I imagined, with tons of emotion and fun for all the family and guests, both Saturday morning at Temple B'nai Aviv and then Sunday afternoon at the Hyatt Bonaventure. Alberto, from Pure Energy, was in charge of keeping the dance floor crowded all day long and, as always, he did just that: non-stop action and a party for the Sandlers to remember forever. Congratulations!

Another fantastic Bar Mitzvah celebration for the Ulinos! After Josh's a couple of years ago, this time was Matthew's turn, and it was every bit as great as the first one... After a flawless service performed on Saturday morning at Temple Ramat Shalon, the Ulinos and their guests partied during the evening at Temple Dor Dorim, under the command of my good friend David and his Pure Energy crew. They know how to keep people dancing during the whole night, and Matthew's party was no exception to the rule. Incredible moments, and I would like to thank the Ulinos once again for having me there to document it all. Mazel Tov!

Dylan's big day was as special as everyone in the Kaplan family wanted it to be: from a fantastic service in the morning at Temple Dor Dorim, to a carefully planned and executed party at the Biltmore Hotel, every single moment was full of intensity and emotion for this great family. I've photographed Jordan's Bar Mitzvah a couple of years ago, so I wasn't at all surprised with how much fun the whole evening ended up being. Mazel Tov to Dylan, Amy, Kenny, Jordan and little Max: above all, you're great friends and I'm proud for that!

A Carnival was the perfect setting for Julia's before-the-Bat-Mitzvah photos last week: just like her, it was fun, intense and full of life, so I wasn't surprised to see Julia simply shine through the lenses. Her big day is arriving quickly, and pretty soon it will be time to party together. See you soon, Julia!
