Columbia Bar Mitzvah Photographer: Double the Fun, a Bar Mitzvah Celebration for Twins!

Apr 10

I had the pleasure of photographing a truly unique Bar Mitzvah celebration – for twins! Yes, you read that right. Double the bar mitzvah boys, double the smiles and double the fun! As a Howard County B’Nai Mitzvah photographer, I enjoy traveling to different venues around the area to capture family mitzvahs. This Bar Mitzvah took place in Silver Spring, with the reception that evening in College Park, Maryland

Since photography isn't permitted during Shabbat, we captured some special moments with the twins before the service. Dressed to impress in their suits and tallitot (prayer shawls), they exuded a mix of nervousness and excitement. We got some great candid shots of them practicing their Torah portions, and together with family.

Following the Shabbat service, we captured several sets of family photos at the beautiful Samuel Riggs IV Alumni Center at the University of Maryland. The venue offered a perfect blend of elegance and fun, with a spacious dance floor and plenty of room for mingling.

Of course, no Bar Mitzvah celebration is complete without delicious food and entertainment! The catered spread was a crowd-pleaser, offering a variety of options to satisfy every appetite. The night was filled with laughter, heartfelt speeches, and countless dance floor memories. It was truly a special occasion to witness these two young men celebrate this important milestone together, surrounded by loved ones.

Games, Grub, and Grooving

The younger set wasted no time diving into the game room, where epic battles unfolded on the ping pong and foosball tables. The adults, meanwhile, enjoyed a lively happy hour, catching up with friends and family. As the evening progressed, a fantastic band took the stage, and the dance floor came alive. The energy was contagious, with everyone from grandparents to toddlers busting a move.
