Last week Jake had his Bar Mitzvah at Temple Chabad. (You may recall our portrait session a few weeks back.) It was a full day of ceremony and celebration. Although I was only able to take photos at the rehearsal, I hear the service was wonderful, after which I met up with them for some family portraits then onto the Braemar Country Club that night for the reception.



































Jake's uncle Rob was a huge part of Jake's Bar Mitzvah and that is his great-grandmother, mother and little brother beaming so proudly!


The event planner Jackie of The Korman Group, along with Cindy at SRO Events, pulled out all the stops transforming Braemar into an X-Games themed venue.





Needless to say, the Laker Girls were a huge hit!





During the already emotional candle lighting ceremony, Jake was presented with his black belt. Quite a night.


Besides an airbrush artist, a tattoo artist and the very cool Dancing Heads as entertainment, there was an awesome candy bar that seemed like a mile long from Nina Bracker Events.







Additional fabulous vendors were:

DJ: Gil at Z Entertainment
