The Ultimate “13” at Mandarin Oriental NYC

Every once in a while a collection of photographs comes together that is so dynamic and fun that I get giddy with excitement for our clients.

While the digital photographs that live in pixels here on the screen are the initial impression, it’s really the gorgeous heirloom albums we create for them which tell their story for generations.

This story features a young James Dean on his big day. We began by documenting all his “cool” at the now legendary and landmark 5Points building in Long Island City. The gorgeous New York Times Center event space hosted the Havdalla service and we headed uptown to the incredible Mandarin Oriental NYC to celebrate. Arthur Backal’s State of the Art team produced the event. Our team is super thrilled to have created this Mitzvah collection for our incredible family – it’s what we live to do! Mazel Tov!
