Los Angeles Jewish Wedding Video | Beverly Hills Jewish Wedding

A few weeks ago we shared some of the terrific Jewish wedding photos from Michal and Rafi's Beverly Hills wedding. Now it's our pleasure to show off the 3-minute highlight video from their wedding, produced for Graham & Graham Photography by David Medill and his Medill Films.
The orthodox wedding was in the heart of Beverly Hills, at Nessah Synagogue, complete with a clarinet player blowing away on "Siman Tov." Watch the clip--it's a lot of fun!

The Mark for Events | Los Angeles Bar Mitzvah Party

After his Pacific Palisades Kehillat Israel Bar Mitzvah Saturday morning, Ross celebrated with an amazing ski-themed party at the Mark For Events, the big event facility in the Beverly/Pico area of Los Angeles. The Mark was full of faux snow, ski hats, skis and projected snow and skiers on the wall.

Kehillat Israel Bar Mitzvah | Pacific Palisades Bar Mitzvah

If it's spring, 2011, we're in Pacific Palisades. For the last two Saturdays, we've been at Kehillat Israel, the reconstructionist temple in Pacific Palisades, for a series of 6 Bar and Bat Mitzvahs in a row.
We met a new client, she liked what she saw, told her friends, and hence--multiple visits to one of the most spacious synagogues in Los Angeles--and did we mention the amazing natural light?







Los Angeles Bat Mitzvah Video | Adat Ari El

A few weeks ago we met Ilana and her family at Adat Ari El in Valley Village for Bat Mitzvah photos. Since the temple doesn't allow photography during the service, we seized the moment and brought the video camera along to make a short video of Ilana and her family in the sanctuary. We're thrilled to share it! The video was produced for Graham & Graham Photography by David Medill.

Fantasea Yacht Club Bat Mitzvah Party | Marina del Rey

Here's more highlights from Chloe's Bat Mitzvah Saturday, the rockin' Marina del Rey celebration at the Fantasea Yacht Club. DJ services by Dan and the Party Zone, pictured below with Chloe.







Culver City Temple Akiba Bat Mitzvah | Chloe

We returned to Culver City's Temple Akiba Saturday for Chloe's Bat Mitzvah. It was great to see old friends Rabbi Zachary Shapiro and Cantor Lonee Frailich again, and to experience the new lighting at Akiba, which made a dramatic improvement in the service photographs. The day, however belonged to the outgoing, vivacious Chloe, who did a great job with her torah.

Beverly Hills Bat Mitzvah Photos | Culver City Bat Mitzvah


The theme for Ali's upcoming February Bat Mitzvah is the joy of being a fashionista, so we took her to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills for a sign-in board Bat Mitzvah portrait. The key to doing shots like this is arriving early on a Sunday morning. Fantastic light, few spectators, and wonderful portraits.


Las Vegas Wedding | Mandalay Bay | Carrie & Tommy






Carrie and Tommy tied the knot over the weekend at the Mandalay Bay resort in Las Vegas--and we were there. We first met the couple in Manhattan Beach when we photographed their Manhattan Beach engagement session by the Pier. They enjoyed the pictures so much, they invited us to their Las Vegas wedding as well. A cool way to kick off the new year with wedding #1!

We met Michal and Rafael recently for their Beverly Hills wedding at Nessah Synagogue off Rexford Drive, right down the street from the Star tours and Rodeo Drive.



The couple had a traditional, Orthodox wedding under the Chupah, with about 250 guests.








Afterwards, the crowd celebrated in a major way, complete with bottle dancing. Mazel Tov!
