Jacobs Barmitzvah and Party at Dyram Park Country Club

Pin It

A few weeks back I had the honour of recording young Jacobs Barmitvah, well at least the practise run anyway. The actual ceremony takes place on the Jewish Sabbath (Saturday) and as it is a day of rest and a religious ceremony no-one is allowed to work.

Jacob had learnt his Hebrew well and read through his readings with very little trouble, overwatched by his father and grandfather. I hear the actual ceremony (a few weeks later) went completely without a hitch making his whole family extremely proud.

Of course having successfully been bartmitzvahed there is only one thing to do and that's have a massive party so friends and family can join in the celebration. The chosen venue for the party was Dyram Park Country Club, all in all a very nice venue and with very easy access just of the A1 (a photographers dream).

I absolutely love learning of other traditions and religions. I feel the more you learn the less there is to fear. I have always found with any Jewish work I do whether it's weddings or Barmitzvahs the parties are always legendary and great fun!

Congratulations Jacob, I hope you had as much fun as I did in capturing it!

Brads Bar Mitzvar at Brocket Hall

Pin It Last weekend I was honoured to be asked to photograph Brads Bar Mitzvar party. The party was held at Brocket Hall an amazing place and a photographers dream.

You really are spoilt for choice when it comes to backgrounds, every time you turn round there's more places to shoot, absolutely incredible.


The week before I'd also photographed the actual Bar Mitzvar practise in the synagogue. Because of religious reasons the actual ceremony is held on Saturdays and is not photographed.

The party went without a hitch and was fantastic! entertainment was supplied by Europes best football skills player and some pretty morbid magicians, that happily shoved nails up their noses amongst other things (the teenagers loved them).

Is there a better job on the planet? I don't think so.

Bar Mitzvah Party at the Chancery Court Hotel

Pin It Congratulations to Ruben and his family on a fantastic Bar Mitzvah party at the Chancery court Hotel in Holburn. It was a truly fantastic day / evening and I'm sure everyone who cam had a fantastic time.

I love working in the central London hotels as they are so "fantastic" inside and really add to anyones day. Every where you turn there's fantastic backgrounds which make for great photographs a photographers dream.

Of course the drawbacks of central London is the parking, however on this day I must have been lucky as I actually managed to park right outside the hotel the first time ever.

Regardless the party went fantastically well with live music from probably my favourite party band "mixed feelings" also special guest was the Southend United footbal captain (Rubens favourite team) and surprise guest Dean Marney whose comedy impressions had everyone laughing all evening.
