I think my son would answer the question by saying that I’m already old. Anyway, since I’ve been recording social events professionally since 1984, I’ve worked within the same family, or same circle of friends, many times. Over the last 5-7 years, some work has been what I call “second generation”. By that, I mean that I’ve worked with this specific guest of honor before (like a Bat Mitzvah), and now they’re coming to me for the next life cycle event, usually a wedding. Hopefully, there’s at least a 10-year gap between a Bar or Bat Mitzvah and a wedding.
Last weekend featured a different kind of second generation event. About 15 years ago, I recorded the wedding of Joan and Steve. That’s them in the synagogue photo above (Photos courtesy of Casual Candids, http://www.casualcandids.com/), with their daughter, Claire. I’d have to check, but I’m pretty sure that this is the first time I’ve done the wedding of the parents, and then the Bar or Bat Mitzvah many years later.
To illustrate how we often work within a circle, there were several other clients in attendance. There were two couples whose weddings I had recorded within the last 10 years or so-along with their children, and the parents of another couple. That’s a nice environment in which to work, especially because I’m also friendly with their photographer and DJ.
