So what do a church, a club and a camel have in common? Well if you were a guest at this past weekend’s wedding you would know that Abby and Tim met at Connecticut College where the bride’s mother also attended which happens to have a camel as a mascot.

Jake’s Bar Mitzvah

This past Saturday we got to capture Jake’s Bar Mitzvah. The  ceremony was held at the Houston Congregation for Reform Judaism with a party held later in the evening at Jake’s parent’s lovely Tanglewood residence. The whole event was meticulously planned by Tracy Rushton of Bash events. The adults had an elegant summer coctail party indoors catered by A Fare Extraordinaire, while the kids partied outside on an LED dancefloor provided by Bright Star Productions and Damon and his crew from PRP Entertainment kept “Club All Minors” pumping for the teens. They also had a virtual reality roller coaster for the kids which was just amazing!
