ALEYA & ADAM
Aleya and Adam’s Wedding at the Bond was an experience full of love, joy, and beautiful traditions. Leading up to and planning for this day led to so much excitement and anticipation. Having known Aleya for many years, it was incredible to watch her step into this new chapter. Not only did we get to capture her as a bride, but we also had the opportunity to spend time with Adam and his family, and we loved every part of it.
A Meaningful Jewish Ceremony
One of the highlights of Aleya and Adam’s Wedding at the Bond was experiencing their Jewish traditions. A particularly special moment was the signing of the Ketubah. Signing the Ketubah is a powerful ritual that marks the beginning of a marriage with intention and meaning. It connects you to centuries of Jewish tradition while reflecting the love and values that are uniquely yours. Watching Aleya and Adam carefully read and sign their Ketubah was emotional and intimate. It was filled with thoughtful words, promises, and blessings, and their families were right there, witnessing this beautiful symbol of love. This ceremony sets the tone for the marriage, highlighting respect, responsibility, and shared values. Later, we watched the glass-breaking tradition, which added a joyful, celebratory energy to the ceremony and reminded everyone of the excitement of their new life together.
Artistic Photos in a One-of-a-Kind Venue
The Bond itself is an incredible venue. Its industrial aesthetic, complete with stunning murals, allowed us to take lots of creative, editorial-style photos. We captured Aleya and Adam in ways that reflected their personalities and love. Every corner of the space provided a unique backdrop, and experimenting with lighting, angles, and poses made the photos feel dynamic and one-of-a-kind.
Cocktail Hour and Private Vows
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a charming outdoor cocktail hour across the street. The food was incredible, and the atmosphere was lively. Aleya and Adam also shared private vows with their immediate family, a twist on the typical private exchange. This allowed parents and close relatives to hear the promises between the couple, and it honestly felt so intimate and personal to celebrate their love in this way. They shared their hearts with each other, and with their families, and that is what a wedding day is all about.
Reception Celebration
This couple’s Wedding at the Bond reception was electric. From the first dance to the lively celebration on the dance floor, the energy was contagious. Family members were lifted onto chairs to celebrate one of the joyful Jewish traditions, and we captured each spontaneous, happy moment. Laughter, cheers, and dancing filled the night, and it was clear that everyone felt fully immersed in Aleya and Adam’s joy.
