Having shot numerous Bar and Bat Mitzvahs throughout Los Angeles, we understand the photography landmarks families want to hit when it comes to documenting a ceremony. We always make sure that each group that makes an aliyah to the bimah (approach to the podium) is photographed from multiple vantage points, so that all the faces of family and loved ones are featured. As with the candle lighting ceremony of a reception, it's a wonderful opportunity to see those special people in the child's life surrounding them with loving support. Here, a Bat Mitzvah girl reads from the Torah as her parents and relatives look on.
