Jewish Bel Air Wedding

I don’t think I ever blogged this Jewish Bel Air wedding that I second shot for Devon Donnahoo a few years ago. This is a shame because the private estate where the wedding is set is something else. Most of the weddings I assist at, never get through my editing queue. It’s often the editing is done by the primary photographer. It would be no lie to say that a lot of photographers are guilty of this. Our own clients come first. Which is as it should be. Saying that I have promised myself to edit at least a few this month (ahem… year). I have a few of these hidden gems up my sleeve.
 
Set in Bel Air, this wedding comes with jaw-dropping views of the surrounding hills. It is a perfect setting for an outdoor wedding. And an even better setting for a reception under the stars. So let me tell you a little bit about it.

The Bride and Groom

It was a beautiful and sunny Southern California summer day. The bride and groom were graced with friends and family from all over the world traveling to attend their special day. I have to say- I do love Jewish weddings and the energy that is always present as the party starts! The dancing only stops when the music stops, and the food… ah, how can I not mention the food?! I can never walk past a plate of teiglach without stealing a honey ball or two. (Don’t judge! Seriously! Have you had one of those ‘melt in your mouth delicious” bad boys?)
 
This party was no exception, although I would be lying if I said that the hora at the end didn’t make me a little bit nervous. The wedding is held on a property set on a hill and all. With a quite significant drop, only secured by a modest fence. And people being less than sober by the end of the night. Yeah… a shout out to the bride and groom for their nerves of steel!
