Christening in Thornbury & The Aztec Hotel, Bristol

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 specialize in creating natural, timeless images that reflect the unique essence of each Christening.

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 beautiful celebration at The Aztec Hotel in Bristol.

The day was filled with emotion, warmth, and love. Close family members and friends gathered to support Ivy as she was baptised. 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 the joy, the love, and the beauty of life’s most precious moments!

Once the ceremony had finished, the celebration continued at The Aztec Hotel in Bristol. Guests were welcomed into an area at the back of the hotel which is conveniently connected to their lovely garden. A table full of delicious food, sparkling champagne, and a stunning Christening cake was waiting for them!

One of the most unique aspects of Ivy’s Christening celebration was the fingerprint tree activity. Guests were invited to place their fingerprints on a special painting that formed the shape of balloons, creating a lasting keepsake for Ivy and her family. This creative activity was not only fun for the guests but also meaningful, as it symbolized the love and support surrounding Ivy as she begins her journey through life.

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. Christening photography is about more than just pictures, it’s about telling a family’s story and preserving moments that will be loved forever.

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