I love when I get an opportunity to photograph a bar mitzvah party at Viper Alley. Of all the Chicago area venues, it is one of my favorites.

I even had my oldest child’s bar mitzvah party there myself in 2015!

And Richie’s party at Viper Alley did not disappoint!

Mitzvah PreShoot

A few weeks before the mitzvah party, I met Richie downtown for our preshoot. Who doesn’t like an awesome skyline background?!

Mitzvah Party Time!

Once Richie displayed his hard work on the bima, it was time to have some fun! We met a little before the party at Viper Alley to grab this cool shot in front of Jimi Hendrix.

Lance from Freelance Studios transformed Viper Alley with a Chi Town vibe.

Once Brent and the crew from Bizar Entertainment started kickin’ it, there was non-stop dancing for the night.All the vendors did such a great job at the party! Viper Alley is a fantastic mitzvah party venue (as well as for any other kind of event!) Freelance Studios designed gorgeous decorations. And Brent and the crew from Bizar Entertainment had the crowd on their feet dancing all night.
