One of the bonuses of Ryan’s pandemic-delayed Bar Mitzvah was getting to document both the ceremony AND the party – pre-omicron, at the Westwood Country Club in Vienna – this past fall. It’s a photographer’s rare privilege to be clicking the shutter during the actual B’nai Mitzvah service, rather than the rehearsal a few days prior. Ryan’s poise as he led the service in front of a ballroom filled with family and friends was truly impressive and inspiring. A huge Mazel Tov to him and his loving family. Enjoy some of my favorite shots from this joyful day.
