Grant’s Got Game | Michigan Bar Mitzvah Photography

What an amazing celebration this was!!  It was really a treat to photograph Grant’s Bar Mitzvah – check out these pics, and you’ll see why!

I know I say it every time (and it’s always true!!) – but DeeDee Hoffman and her team REALLY blew this one out of the park.  I always know a party is going to look incredible when I am working with them! 

Lots of great vendors came together for this one:

planning/event design:  Dee Dee Hoffman Party Design
flowers: Dawn Owen
catering: Cutting Edge Cuisine
MC/DJ/Dancers: Star Trax
video: TONE-e films
photobooth: the digital photobooth (this was REALLY rad – and I see TON of photobooths!)
venue: the argonaut building (part of CCS)

whew!  On to the photos!

Havdalah service at Temple Israel, including a yummy Shabbat dinner catered by Matt Prentice.
And onto the party:  This was my first time shooting at the Argonaut Building, and it was a very cool venue

overview of the room:  (told ya it was pretty sweet!)

The metal silhouettes were hung from the ceiling – created from actual photos I took of Grant!
Just don’t tell him he looks like Justin Beiber 😉
The food was just outstanding – loved all the signs they created.  The sushi was my fave!
lots of detail shots, I know – I just couldn’t help myself!
It was really cool to see all the different ways they incorporated my photos into the decor!

seriously yummy appetizers – the cutest part was that the servers all wore t-shirts printed with whatever they were passing – these were caprese salad push-ups!

every kid was treated to a sweet, customized pair of Nike sneakers!

Here’s Grant with his pals

three generations of lovely ladies!

perfume-making station!  (there were also fortune tellers on hand!)

StarTrax MC’s Teddy Bear and Josh kept the energy up all night

the cutest late-night snacks – mini hot dogs with their own little mustard!

there’s one at every party….
