There’s something truly magical about christenings—the love, the prayers, and the celebration of your child, surrounded by family and friends.
Recently, I had the absolute joy of photographing Alexander’s christening at Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church in Miranda, followed by a beautiful reception lunch at the St George Sailing Club at San Souci. Everything was lovingly thought out, and it all came together beautifully. It’s the little details, the big moments, and everything in between that make the day so special.
The Details
One of the most beautiful things about christenings is how personal they are. For Alexander’s special day, his family curated every detail to perfection.

Custom invitations set the tone for the day, made by Alexander’s mama.

How sweet is this? The cookies were not just delicious but also a meaningful touch made with love by Alexander’s godmother. They added a layer of sentimentality that truly made the day unique.

Preserving the most cherished moments
Christenings aren’t just about the ceremony; they’re about the love and thought poured into the details, the special people who come together, and the emotions that shine through. Capturing Alexander’s day meant preserving all of these moments—his proud godparents, the beautiful ceremony, and his family’s joy.
As a christening photographer in Sydney, the day is about telling stories through timeless images – the details, these memories, and these milestones that truly matter.
