Elaborate 1st Birthday Party at the Renaissance Event Hall, Long Island City (Queens)
Stepping into the vibrant atmosphere of the Renaissance Event Hall in Long Island City, I had the honor of documenting Arya's 1st birthday party—a delightful three-hour celebration.
The event was a sensory delight, featuring a catered dinner that pleased both young and old taste buds, along with an array of decadent pastries, and impressive decor. The beats of a skilled DJ and the presence of children's entertainers filled the venue with lively energy; as Arya's loved ones gathered to celebrate her big day, I captured candid interactions, heartfelt moments, and some posed family photos.
Here are some of my favorite images from this shoot (click/tap to view full size and un-cropped):
