Kaitlin & Steven’s Wedding at Founder’s Hall

What an absolute honor it was to photograph Kaitlin & Steven’s touching ceremony and beautiful wedding at Founder’s Hall in Charles Towne Landing!!!

This day was particularly special because I also photographed the weddings of Steven’s two sisters.  Which means I’ve spent a lot of time with Steven, his parents, and his family over the years…and I love them all to pieces.  But throughout the process of preparing for this special day, I have TRULY enjoyed getting to know Steven’s beautiful bride, Kaitlin!  The three of us had so much fun at their engagement session.  And I got to see Kaitlin’s “adventurous” side during her amazing bridal session.  She is such a delightful human inside and out, with a kind and giving soul, an infectious laugh, and a smile that lights up the room and lifts the hearts of eveyone around her!

Please enjoy these moments from the story of their wedding day.  And help me say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Kaitlin & Steven.  We wish you all the best as you begin your new journey together!!!

Max Bluestein’s Bar Mitzvah at Emanu-El Synagogue

As a professional photographer, it is always such a pleasure to capture important moments in people’s lives. Last weekend, I had the honor of photographing Max Bluestein’s Bar Mitzvah at the Emanu-El Synagogue, as well as the ensuing reception at Founder’s Hall in Charlestowne Landing. I must say that it was an experience I will never forget!

The Emanu-El Synagogue is a stunning location.  I was truly impressed by the beauty and the feeling of reverence of the place. The architecture, the lighting, and the ambiance of the synagogue were simply amazing. I was thrilled to have such a lovely location to capture these special moments for Max and his family. The décor was elegant and tasteful, with traditional elements that added to the spiritual significance of the event. You could tell that Rabbi Ravski had a special connection with the young man. It was heartwarming to see Max and his family come together to celebrate this special occasion!

After the Bar Mitzvah ceremony, the reception at Founder’s Hall was a joyous occasion. The hall was beautifully decorated by Sha Sha and her amazing team at Loluma. The food and drinks were exceptional. The fun activities and fantastic dancing went on all night long.  DJ Ede and Naquan kept everyone on their toes!  I loved seeing all the guests having such a wonderful time!

Many thanks to Rabbi Ravski at Emanu-El, Sha Sha and her team at Loluma, Michelle Metzler at Founder’s Hall, DJ Ede Moran and Naquan, Jenna at Cru Catering, Getem Twisted photo booths, Alpha Lit letters, Eventworcks, and everyone else who helped make this day a huge success! Also, a HUGE shout-out to Ryan, Sharyn, and Abby for loving and supporting Max through this special time in his life!!!

Capturing such special moments and memories for Max and his family was a great privilege for me. The beauty of the synagogue, the fun family portraits afterwards, and the exciting reception all made for such a memorable event. I felt truly blessed to have been a part of such a momentous occasion. CONGRATULATIONS, Max!!!
