For those wanting to celebrate the life and blessing of a child without the religious aspect of a Christening, a naming ceremony is a perfect option. Naming ceremonies, like Christenings, include the gathering of the family and close friends and also named individuals acting as ‘Guideparents’ as opposed to Godparents can be present. Readings can be read, music can be played and presents can be exchanged.

I particularly like the humanistic element of Wolfgang’s special day and paired with the joy and love I felt from the people around me- made it an extra-special honour to be their photographer. :-)
