Thornbury christening & party at The Aztec Hotel in Bristol

Bristol christening photographer

Christenings are among the most meaningful and cherished occasions in a family’s life.

These milestones mark the beginning of a child’s spiritual journey, surrounded by loved ones, joy, and celebration.

Capturing these moments through professional photography ensures that the memories from this special day are preserved for years to come.

I had the honor of documenting baby Ivy’s christening day. The ceremony took place at a local Catholic church in Thornbury, followed by a  celebration at The Aztec Hotel in Bristol.

Being able to photograph such an important milestone in Ivy’s life was a privilege. It’s events like these that remind me why I do what I do – capturing joy, love, and the beauty of life’s most precious moments!

When the ceremony was over, the celebration continued at The Aztec Hotel in Bristol. Guests were welcomed into an area at the back of the hotel, conveniently connected to a lovely garden. A table full of delicious food, sparkling champagne, and a stunning christening cake was waiting for them.

A fingerprint tree activity was going around the guests (something new to me). Each guest pressed their finger onto a inkpad and put it onto a painting that formed the shape of balloons – what a nice keepsake!

Whether you’re celebrating in Thornbury, Bristol, or beyond, I’d love to help document your christening day.

Each family is unique, and my photography reflects that individuality. The goal is always the same: to create lasting memories that you can look back on for years to come.

Thank you to Ivy’s family for allowing me to be part of such a significant day in their lives. It was a joy to capture these precious moments, and I hope the photographs continue to bring them joy and warmth for many years to come.

If you’re planning a christening or any other special family event and want to create lasting memories, don’t hesitate to contact me.
