Matthew's Lifestyle Family Mitzvah Pre Shoot | Village Walk Photographer

When deciding where we should capture Matthew’s mitzvah pre shoot, I suggested that our location be somewhere Matthew is comfortable. They discussed it as a family, and chose to spend the evening with me exploring the manicured nature and architectural bridges of their Village Walk neighborhood. I have to admit, over the phone I was mildly skeptical, but my skepticism melted away the moment I picked up my camera. This family was so naturally loving and joyful, the background wouldn’t have mattered one bit! In this case, the beauty outside matched their beauty within, and even the weather joined in the beautiful fun as we experienced sub-80 temperatures and cool breezes! Mazel Tov on your upcoming simcha, I can’t wait to celebrate with you!

I first met this family for their mitzvah pre-shoot where we hung out amidst the colorful Wynwood Walls, and they made my job easy! They were so full of love and energy and fun and joy, which are my favorite things to capture! Mitzvah day was no different. The celebration started with services and brunch at Temple Beth Am in Miami, FL, and continued that evening with the reception at the University of Miami. Torah was read, prayers were said, and they danced and partied until their feet felt dead!
