New York based Sweet Dreams Studio provided the photography and photo booth entertainment for Arielle’s Bat Mitzvah party at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland.
Working with the theme Arielle’s Aquarium, Innovative Party Planners transformed the National Aquarium, a very public space, into an intimate event. This involved the collaboration of many vendors working together to create a shared vision.
Arielle has a love for sea animals including dolphins and manatees. This set the stage for not only her theme and decor, but also incorporated her Mitzvah Project. Using this celebration, Arielle raised money and awareness for manatees.
Arielle looked beautiful in her aqua gown
The Bat Mitzvah service, set-up in the Underwater Viewing room of the National Aquarium, gave all guests and mammals the perfect view! It was challenging taking pictures in the dimly-lit aquarium room for the ceremony because flash wasn’t allowed, but Sweet Dreams Studio still took great shots!
