We had the honor to document Arden Rose’s amazing bat mitzvah celebration at the Bellevue on May 30th. Melissa Paul of Evantine was responsible for putting together this 60’s inspired bash. Colorful details were everywhere and there was so much to do for children and adults – engraved jewelry, hand made glass ornaments, airbrushed hats and Ts, photo booth… The surprise Beatlemania band topped everyone’s expectations at the end of the evening. I overheard guests saying that “this was the best party that they have ever been to” when saying their good byes. I would have to agree! Arden Rose is so talented; she sang, danced, gave a speech and truly enjoyed herself all night. She could not wait for portraits to be over so that she could see how amazing the room looked.
Big thanks goes to all of the vendors involved who made the evening a success and also DVideography for capturing everything on tape, and especially to the parents – Elaine and Barry. Thank you for letting us be part of this important day. It was an honor to document the great relationship you have with your daughter!

What I remember most about Christina and Giulio and the wedding Day: Another great Saturday! Beautiful weather and an all around awesome wedding day!
Christina you were great to work with, full of life and a great spirit. Giulio and you are a perfect pair, in love forever. I remember Christina talking to me about wanting us to photograph her wedding since 2003! She was not even engaged yet… WOW! How cool is that! I also remember the ceremony, the priest interacting with the family and guests. It was very different and a great personal message was received by all. Later we did some very creative city shots as the sun was setting aroung the Union League. They LOVED the pics and “being in the moment”! The party was hosted by the Union League and the Grand Lincoln room was full of celebration and festive music. Italian/Dance Music and a Entertaining DJ from NYC that kept everyone up on their feet dancing all night long.
Thank You Christina and Giulio!
