Baptism
The sacrament of faith
A day that sets the foundation for eternal love in family, faith and friends.
We have captured baptismal blessings for over a decade and its safe to say we are the experts in the field.
Flashback to your wedding day, a baptism shares the same structure.
The three main locations for a baptism are
- At-Home photos
- Church service
- Reception
Each location is as important as the next.
Here are some FAQ'S asked by other Mums
How long do you require at each location?
As a guide, our minimum is three hours coverage for baptisms.
Heres why:
For house photos, we recommend a minimum of 1.5 hours of capture time + travel time to the church.
As an example, if your church is roughly 15 minutes away from home, and your church service is scheduled to start at 12pm, we recommend starting house photos at 10:15am (at an absolute minimum).
The church service traditionally runs for 30mins-1 hour and is inclusive of all certificate signings, family blessings and church registrations. We also must consider travel time from church to the reception.
The reception capture time is the main difference across the board for baptism packages.
Some main factors may include: your baby's sleep time, when the cake will be cut and what you anticipate to have captured for the reception. (Will you have entertainment, dancing or do you require photos with all the guests?).
As a minimum we would recommend 1.5 hours for the reception coverage, however, we would need to know more details to tailor a package here.
Is travel time inclusive in your packages?
Yes! We like to be transparent with all our packages which is why travel time is inclusive.
If you choose a 4 hour package starting at 8am, we will finish our coverage at 12pm. We can travel to any location during this time.
The only exception to this is if your event is outside or beyond the Sydney metropolitan, rural or regional area.
What photos do you take at each location?
The At-home photos include details of the baptismal box, gown, candles and accessories. We slowly transition into getting ready photos of your baby and family photo combinations. This may include godparent and grandparent photos if you wish to extend the invite.
The Church service is captured quite candidly and unobtrusive. We capture the baptismal details, the sacramental blessings and intimate family photos.
The Reception is where we capture the details of the room and setup, formalities of cake and speeches, combination of family photos, guest photos and any additional details within your time of coverage.
What should we include in the baptismal box?
We have you covered mama! When you book with us we will send you a cheat sheet of all the necessities to include in the box.
