As a La Crescenta mitzvah photographer, I get to witness celebrations that feel personal and full of joy. After Judah’s meaningful ceremony at St. Athanasius Episcopal Church in Echo Park, the celebration continued at a private home in La Crescenta. The backyard setting, the sunshine, and the easygoing vibe made this day one to remember.
Judah’s reception was as warm and inviting as the family hosting it. Guests arrived to a spread of chilled drinks and charcuterie boards—Judah’s favorite. It was the perfect way to cool off and connect. Set in a backyard with sweeping views of the La Crescenta hills, the space had a natural charm. The sun was strong, but the energy was even stronger.
That day hit the high 90s. It was hot. Really hot. But no one let the heat slow them down. The kids wasted no time jumping into the pool. Splashing, diving, and laughing, they brought the party to life. Adults stayed cool at shaded tables with a view, playing lawn games and enjoying cold drinks. Some guests chose the comfort of the air-conditioned indoors to catch up and relax.
Before the party was in full swing, Judah’s grandmothers gave quick speeches. Each one shared kind words, pride, and a little humor. These short moments reminded everyone why they were there—to celebrate Judah and all that he’s becoming. The rest of the day unfolded naturally, filled with joy, connection, and summer fun.
Every celebration tells a story. Judah’s was playful, loving, and true to who he is. Are you planning something special in La Crescenta?
