Nathan’s Bar Mitzvah at Pelican Point/ Carlsbad Photo – San Diego Wedding & Event Photography

When a Jewish boy turns 13, he has all the rights and obligations of a Jewish adult. This milestone is a BAR MITZVAH and often celebrated with a ceremony, tefillin wearing, and parties.

The bar mitzvah is automatic, whether or not a celebration or special ceremony is held. But since becoming a bar mitzvah is such an important milestone and joyous occasion, Jewish people  celebrating together with family and friends.

Nathan is my son’s friend since elementary school times. It was such a special honor to document this  milestone for his family. Not only I was observing him grow, I was happy to see what a man he’s becoming. It took him a year to learn a new language, all the songs, and prepare to the ceremony at Pelican Point Carlsbad.
