This Bat Mitzvah was truly unforgettable!

Fifteen years ago, Steve had the incredible honor of photographing Eric and Lisa's wedding. To be invited back to capture their daughter, Rose's, Bat Mitzvah was an absolute privilege.

The ceremony was a beautiful celebration of their family, filled with heartfelt moments and meaningful traditions. Rose was simply radiant!

The reception at the yacht club was a joyous affair with delicious food, lively dancing, and heartfelt speeches. The children had a blast, and the adults were equally entertained – Cotton-Eyed Joe proved to be a serious crowd-pleaser!

A particularly touching moment was the blessing of the challah. Rose's grandfather, who had passed away, had blessed the challah at Eric and Lisa's wedding. His voice, captured on their wedding video, filled the room as the blessing was read, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

The hora was an absolute whirlwind, lasting an incredible 20 minutes with many guests lifted high in the air!

This was a truly special day, and I'm already looking forward to celebrating with them again for Rose's brother's Bar Mitzvah in a few years."
