Jonah’s Eastern Market Bar Mitzvah!

/ mitzvah
 
This was such a cool event to shoot.  Mom Lisa's family has had produce stalls at the market going back nearly a century, so the place holds some special meaning.  After the market's recent renovation, she had a vision that it would be the perfect location for Jonah's Bar Mitzvah Party.  And she was right!  The market sheds have a raw, industrial feel that made for an awesome party space!    Of course, Dee Hoffman and her team helped with the transformation ;-)

Barb Mandel did the graphic design and created these fun banners

the food (by holiday market) was AMAZING.  Here we have just a little sampling of some of the apps - watermelon with balsamic, sushi, gazpacho and shrimp cocktail.  YUM!!

kyle and paulomi | up north michigan wedding

/ Wedding
 
This was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL wedding to photograph, and it was tough to pick just a small selection for the blog!  If you've ever shot or attended an Indian wedding, you know the drill - a whole weekend packed full of amazing eye candy - I'm still sorting through the thousands of images we captured, but here's a few of my very favorites ;-) 

I swear, I could shoot mehndi all day

the wedding day begins with a special ritual for the bride and her family

the wedding ceremony begins with the bride and groom separated by a length of fabric (which probably has a special ceremonial name that I totally don't know, LOL).
