Polynesia & Persian themed Bar Mitzvah, Long Beach

I hope Joshua knows how great of a mother he has. Cathy envisioned a Hawaiian theme with a touch of Persian flair and she pulled it off with class and style. There was so much activity, entertainment, alon with beautiful people. It was difficult to figure out a location to capture it all. The cocktail hour was more like a prelude to the reception. Sushi chefs decked out their spread in such a spectacular presentation, it was so difficult to photograph it and not partake. Firedancers and Polynesian dancers entertained the guest and later in the evening the colorful and georgeous Persian dancers lit up the room. Joshua's grand entrance as he was carried in by two buff polynesian dancers was a hit. There were so many great moments that it was tough to select what photos to highlight here from the event. Thank you Gipoor family for the opportunity to partake in such a memorable day. A big thanks to Maribel Farina for your spirit, energy and help.
