Wolfgang's Naming Ceremony Photography | Barnes | South West London

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. :-)

Dafermou Winery (Ktima Dafermou) in Lefkara remains one of my favourite and frequent wedding venues to shoot at. Just the vibe, architecture and stunning exterior, surrounded by vineyards and starry skies, make it one of the number one wedding venues in Cyprus. And lets not forget the food! An all-round incredible wedding experience and highly recommended!

An Eritrean Catholic Christening in South London | Clapham | London

I hadn’t been into St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Clapham before so it was a wonderful opportunity to visit this church that had been part of my neighbourhood for many years. It was a beautiful and very special Catholic Christening for the newest addition to my clients who are of Eritrean descent. Having never shot an Eritrean Catholic Christening this was a real treat for me and reminded me of why I love living in South London so much. After the baptism we headed to local Eritrean restaurant Adulis in Oval for food and dancing and I was also treated to a traditional Eritrean coffee making ceremony which very much forms part of any Eritrean special occasion. The food was warm and the guests/family even warmer. Had such a lovely day with them. Here are my favourite pictures from the day.

Highgate Kids and Family Photographer | Christine C Photography

If you live near or around Highgate you will be familiar with the popular Highgate Wood. These ancient woods date back centuries and you will often find families and dogs going for a daily stroll there. There is a wide open space too for sports including cricket and football, and a cosy cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. And for families with young children, an extensive children’s playground tops off the experience.

As a natural family photography, I simply ADORE photographing in these woods where I capture children running around in nature, really making the most of the subtle light conditions and green backdrop. And how does kids photography get any better than that?

The images I shot below are from one session with local family and give you an idea of what you can expect if you book a family or children’s photoshoot with me. Hope you like them as much as I do.
