Los Angeles Bar Mitzvah | Wilshire Boulevard Temple | Liam

It was Liam's turn at the Torah today, following brother Noah and sister Mia, at the beautiful Wilshire Boulevard Temple, Irmas campus, on the west side.





Liam, a South Bay dance student, had a wonderful grace about him up there, and infectious smile. He brought that big energy afterwards to a big, rockin' party at the El Segundo Automobile Driving Museum, a popular South Bay spot for Bar and Bat Mitzvah parties. It's filled with classic cars, and has a wonderful, intimate ballroom for dancing. We'll be back at the museum, in fact, on 10/16, for another party.

Temple Isaiah Bar Mitzvah Photography by Graham & Graham

James Doran was called to the torah at Temple Isaiah in Los Angeles, and we were there to document the service and party. Isaiah is one of our favorite temples in the area, where we did our first paid Bar Mitzvah photography gig in 2003, so we were thrilled to return. The designers of the sanctuary put a lot of thought into presentation--it's really hard to not get great shots there, thanks to the layout.
After the ceremony, we accompanied James and his family into the social hall, for the fun party, which was hosted by DJ Dan and his Party Zone.

William Z's Temple Isaiah Los Angeles Bar Mitzvah

Three years ago we had the good fortune of meeting up with the Liebenson family for Justine's Bat Mitzvah at Temple Isaiah in Los Angeles.
Fast forward to 2009, and it was time for brother Will to step to the Isaiah bima--and for us to reunite with the family again. We (along with hot LA DJ Randy Lehrman and his Real GeniusDJ outfit)also got to participate in a high-energy celebration at the Olympic Collection in Los Angeles.




Here's Will wooping it up with his pals at the simcha!
