Ava looked stunning in her mitzvah dress at the start of her gorgeous bat mitzvah at Camden County Boathouse in Pennsauken Township, New Jersey.  We began the day by taking some glamour style pictures of Ava at this beautiful venue.

After some individual portraits, we did the family formals.

After the family formals, the event staff had finished setting up the room so we took Ava inside for some portraits among the beautiful decor.

As the service started, we captured some pictures of Ava’s Torah reading and the rabbi giving his sermon.

After the service, it was time for presentations.

After presentations, it was time for Ava to make her grand entrance to an epic entrance video thanks to the J&J Studios, LLC cinematography team lead by Vanessa.

The music video played which we filmed a month before the mitzvah and then Ava ran into the hall to her screaming fans.

After the introductions, it was time for the candle lighting ceremony.

Of course, after the candle lighting ceremony was the Horah dance.

After the speech from her father and a few family members, Ava had her montage video and danced the rest of the night away.

After the bat mitzvah, our talented videographer Vanessa worked her magic to create the following highlight reel:
