It is very hard to decide if it's a huge honor, intimidating or both when a photographer, who's work you think is amazing, hires you to photograph her son's Bar-Mitzvah. Alison (http://threetulipsphotography.com/....seriously check it out, she's awesome!!) decided that I should be the one to photograph her family's first Mitzvah! It's so hard to be in front of the camera when you're so used to being behind it but this was not the case. We had three amazing photo-shoots, one at the Synagogue, one at the ball park all dressed up and the final one at the party during an actual Phillies game. I've photographed at Citizen Bank Park before but this one was special. They gave us almost free reign of the park and Matt was up for it. I could've spent an entire day there but, unfortunately, we only had 1hr! We ran through that park doing so much in such a short amount of time. Matthew and family were true troopers, and the photos are a good reflection of it. I've been doing this long enough that I don't have many "firsts" anymore, but photographing a Bar-Mitzvah during the an actual Phillies game was a first. It was an amazing event and even had a few surprise guests stop by. Check out Matthew's Bar-Mitzvah photos and try not to be jealous you weren't invited :D
