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.
