Michael's was the last Bar Mitzvah of 2009, and what a great way to say goodbye to a fantastic year! His service at Temple Dor Dorim last Saturday went absolutely perfect, and the Gillmans offered a nice luncheon to their guests right after. On Sunday, it was party time at the Temple, where the lucky guests enjoyed a whole evening of great music and intense animation, thanks to David from Pure Energy and his always awesome crew. It was truly a pleasure to have been there for you, Michael, you did great!

Michael's Bar Mitzvah was another one of these events that everybody keeps waiting for. The big day finally arrived Sunday, and Michael started the day by performing flawlessly at Temple B'nai Aviv, in Weston. As soon as the service ended, he and his friends boarded a bus straight to Temple Dor Dorim, where a beautiful and intense party was being prepared. DJ James set the mood of the afternoon, so all the Comoras's lucky guests could spend the whole time on the dance floor. It was non-stop action until the very end, and I can only imagine how proud Sharon, Robert, Spencer and Sam must feel right now. An absolutely amazing celebration, Michael!

Wow! We can't get over these pictures. They really capture the overwhelming energy and emotion of the day's events. It was the most wonderful day and we're thrilled that you were there with us to capture it all. We can't wait to see more! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

After photographing Lindsey's older brother Dalton Bar Mitzvah a couple of years ago, I knew her celebration would be just as great, and so it was... Lindsey began her big day performing wonderfully at the service at Temple Dor Dorim, and ended it just as well with a big party right there at the Temple, in the evening. Her guests kept on dancing all night long, under the command of Jazz and his amazing crew, and the Jacobs made another big hit. Mazel Tov, Lindsey, it was fantastic to be there for you!

Max is being Bar Mitzvah'd in a couple of months, and it was time to get him some photos for the big day. Being that his passion is football, it was just a natural choice for having them made in a football field... Mindy and Andrew, together with little brother Noah, were also part of the whole session. Here are a few images from a great late afternoon time at Tequesta Trace Park. I'm looking forward for the celebration, Max!

| Weddings

Sarah and John had an intense and very emotional wedding in Key West, surrounded by an intimate group of family and friends. They tied the knot at Fort Zachary Taylor, exactly where the Atlantic Ocean meets the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and the skies decided to celebrate the event by sending us all some pretty strong winds the whole day. They couldn't care less, though: they were making their dream come true and that's all that mattered. After a short but beautiful ceremony, the couple and their guests ended the day by celebrating in style at the Ocean Resort, at the end of the famous Duval Street. I was thrilled to have been there for you guys, and I hope you're enjoying the blue waters of Tahiti right now!

Jonathan photographed Adam's Bar Mitzvah in Fort Myers this past Saturday. The Party took place later that day after Adam's fantastic performance at Temple Judea during his service. At the party, Adam was surrounded by his family and friends and they all had a great time together. It was a great night until the very end. Great job, Adam!

Jonathan - The preliminary pictures look great. You have a great knack of catching the moment. I appreciate how easy it was to work with you. Amy definitely made the right choice by looking outside Fort Myers.
