The stained glass in the background is a memorial for Michael’s great grandparents so I made sure to get it in a shot.

After the formal family portraits inside the synagogue, we went outside for some more casual shots

We used a low angle to give Michael some extra height!

On Saturday the 14th we went to North 44, a swanky restaurant at Yonge & Eglington for the party… and was it ever a party! The kids were greeted with 3 different mocktails to choose from upon arrival at North 44

Michael gets lifted up on a chair for the hora!

All smiles during a slideshow presentation

My fisheye lens helped get *most* of Michael’s friends into this shot

boys will be boys…

While the adults had a civilized lunch on the main floor, the upstairs turned into party central for the younger guests… complete with a breakdancer and rapping security guard!

The party had a casino theme

The guest of honour and all his chips

After lunch the party really got started

I stood up on the bar to catch the action from above

Even some of the adults got into the spirit

And of course Lindsay and I had to join in…

Mazel Tov!!!
