Jessica | Crimson NYC Bat Mitzvah
February 10, 2011Hello 2011!
Way back in 2010, after a morning service and kiddush at Temple Israel, and hair and makeup appointments on the Upper East Side, Jessica blew out the candle on her three-tiered cake designed by her mom, surrounded by all her friends and family at Crimson. The cake matched the turquoise, fuchsia and orange colors that were the theme of the night.
And in between the dancing, photo booth picture taking, and airbrushed art making was my favorite moment of the night – after the speeches (including a poem) and the toasts, when Matthew, the smallest member of the Lipton family, sweetly introduced the night’s ‘future presentation.’ Sweeter even than the chocolate fountain at the dessert table, and the cookies, brownies and hot chocolate that ended the night.
Jessica, you looked beautiful in your fuschia dress. Congrats to Jessica, Randi, Jeff, Matthew and Evan!

Ethan and Allison | Manhattan Penthouse Catering Hall B’nai Mitzvah
October 31, 2010Ethan and Allison are a year and a half apart, and they held a joint b’nai mitzvah earlier this month. It’s a little unusual, but it’s a lovely statement of the family’s closeness with one another, which I got a glimpse of when we went to Central Park in September for their family portrait session.
They had the service in the beautiful and modern temple inside Hebrew Union College on W 4th st, and then all the guests walked straight over to Manhattan Penthouse, an open and sunny venue with city skyline views all around.
So much loving thought went into the Noah’s ark theme – the rainbow colors of the Hebrew Union College temple and the Krugs’ dress clothes, and the lollipop trees and animal table cards, were all tied together by the edible table centerpieces: cakes made by Sonia Riviera that showed the earth, the ark, a rainbow and a different animal silhouette for each table. And the take home party favor: umbrellas! The detail I liked most, though, was a pair of framed portraits at the guestbook table, done by Ethan and Allison’s own grandfather.
Congrats to Ethan, Allison, Laura and Lee!

Reede’s Bat Mitzvah | Crimson NYC Photography
April 14, 2010From afternoon well into night, Saturday I hung out with the Goldbergs on Reede’s big day, documenting – reception and luncheon at Congregation Rodeph Sholom, hair and makeup at the apartment, cab ride over to the party, and the rest of the night at Crimson NYC.
It was a colorful night – glow sticks, striped socks, dance floor lights and, of course, Reede’s yellow dress and blue heels. And everything turned out beautifully – Shelby and Theo serenaded their big sis, Heller and Jeff teared up for probably the 5th time that day, and Grandma was dancing decked out in hat and glow stick necklaces. The whole night went smoothly, the designs were elegant and original (‘Rg – Est. 1997′!), and dancing was inevitable.
Congrats to Reede, Heller, Jeff, Shelby and Theo. Reede, you looked beautiful. And guys, it was a pleasure and a blast photographing you as always.
