I was extremely privileged to be asked to photograph Jakes christening. It was unlike any other christening I’ve been to. In a great way, of course.
I’m used to the stock-standard aussie-style christening, not the beautifully traditional celebration that is a Macedonian christening. And do these guys know how to celebrate. I often forgot I was there to work, I was enjoying it so much.
The day started at Jake's house as I, along with the videographer, captured everyone arriving. The little man of the day was in a great mood from the get go, which made my job nice and easy. What a great little personality he has.
From there it was on to the ceremony, which I absolutely adored.
It was such a wonderful service, even being unable to understand it, and so many lovely images that I had a hard time choosing what to share here.
It spoke a lot to me about the relationship between father and son. As an observer throughout the day I saw a lot of love pass between them, and it was a very special thing to witness. Daddy was clearly proud of his little boy, as he should be. And it’s being able to capture these emotions and moments that endears me so much to what I do.
After the christening ceremony, it was on to the reception. Think lots of food, lots of dancing, and loads of celebrating going on and you’ll have a rough idea what it was like. I was super impressed with how well Jake took it in stride.
I would easily say a wonderful time was had by all that were there, myself included. Chris and Dianna – thank you so much for the honour of recording this very special day for you all. I can’t wait to share the rest of the images with you
