This is not what you think
Wedding photography this is not! Too often, my christening clients say that my christening photos are better than their wedding photos. I am not sure why this is – there is certainly less stress at christenings and it may be that forcing wedding couples to endure posed shots in an unfamiliar public place is an uncomfortable experience. These...
A review of Balmoral Bathers Pavilion
A review of Balmoral Bathers Pavilion from a photographer’s perspective Candid photos of a christening Candid and natural photos are wonderful, like this one taken of a little girl at Balmoral Bathers Pavilion during a christening function. But naturally beautiful photos are elusive. I recently photographed a christening function at Balmoral Bathers Pavilion where a...
A review of St George Motor Boat Club
A review of St George Motor Boat Club, Sans Souci Two years ago I photographed Justin’s christening for Maria and Buddy. Almost to the day, two years later I photographed the christening of Jade, Justin’s younger sister. The christening venue was St George Motor Boat Club in Sans Souci.

A 4pm start on a cloudy day in winter meant dull light. The church was less than beautiful – red brick and concrete, no soft sandstone as a background. Not even...
A Christening at Le Sands Function Centre
Many function centres have terrible light and cluttered backgrounds which means photos suffer. Le Sands’ function centre, at Brighton Le Sands is different. First, it has a balcony which overlooks the beach which makes it easy to go outside and photograph Justin having fun with his dad Buddy. And his Godfather…. I could...
How to improve christening photos, an example from St Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church, Kingsford
[vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_column_text] To get the best christening photos, you need a great location; this might not often happen as churches can be dark with dim lighting. However, last Saturday I photographed Michael’s christening at St. Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church, Kingsford. The church was a great venue for christening photos, the priests were kind and didn’t rush...
