Seems like some time ago now that I was asked to document Ethan’s Christening on Portland, in Dorset.
It was September and I had been approached by Ethan’s grandfather David, to join them at St John the Baptist Church to photograph the ceremony along with taking a few family group shots.
I had first met David at another wedding the year before, and like many people who have seen me work – he liked the gentle approach and style of photography. Proving once more that being seen at work, along with our actions are the best form of advertising!
Christenings are a natural progression on from weddings and have their own feel about them. With many couples going on to have a family of their own – why not continue the photographic narrative on long past the wedding day?
If you appreciate documentary wedding photography, this narrative of pictures can be built upon with the story of your children and the key moments in their lives.
Christening services mostly fall on a Sunday, and can be available to book at off peak times of my year. If you are planning a ceremony and would like a quote, do drop me a line on my contact page. It would be great to hear from you.
