New York Bar Mitzvah

I flew over to New York last weekend to photograph a Bar Mitzvah in Manhattan.  Here’s a sampling of the day’s events.

Locations: Private Residence; UN Millennium Hotel; United Nations HQ, New York, NY.

The view from their apartment next to Central Park:

This was actually the third ceremony for the Bar Mitzvah.  The first was in Israel, and the second on his Hebrew birthday.

Walking with the kids to the reception at the United Nations HQ.

The Bar Mitzvah is a huge Yankees fan.

I love capturing genuine moments like this:

I only had one shot at this.  Security escorted me away from the edge after this shot.

The video presentation featured the Bar Mitzvah interacting with celebrities including Kelsey Grammer, Andre Agassi, Bob Costas, Phil Simms, Boomer Esiason and several others.

Several songs were performed by an a cappella group.
