Christening photographer: Westminster Cathedral Westminster Cathedral has to be one of my favourite venues. As a professional Christening photographer, I often visit stunning churches and cathedrals – but Westminster Cathedral still takes my breath away. The sense of occasion arriving at those beautiful steps is remarkable, and the interior is just as beautiful. Some of…
Christening photographer: Chelsea churches There are some beautiful churches in Chelsea. I particularly love St Mary’s on Cadogan Street, Chelsea Old Church and Our Most Holy Redeemer & St Thomas More Catholic church. It’s wonderful having the picturesque riverside for family group shots after the service, as well as the pretty church gardens. As a…
Baptism photographer: Hagia Sophia Greek Cathedral I love photographing baptisms at the Hagia Sophia – it’s one of my favourite churches in London.

Christening photographer: St Bartholomew the Great I absolutely love photographing christenings at St Bartholomew The Great. It’s London’s oldest parish church, and the sense of history in the building is intense. The juxtaposition of the super-modern buildings of Smithfields with this ancient church is just astonishing. It feels incredible to walk past glass towers and…
Christening photographer: St Paul’s Cathedral On every photographer’s bucket list are a few spectacular venues, and for me, St Paul’s Cathedral in London is one of those.

Christening photography at St Botolph Without Bishopsgate Church St Botolph’s is such a beautiful church – I love the fact such historic buildings survive right in the middle of a financial zone. It’s one of the things I love most about London, and which makes my job of photographing christenings such a delight. The light…
Christening photographer: St James’s Church – Paddington St James’s Church in Paddington is a very pretty Church of England church. As a christening photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of photographing several christenings here. It’s been through some serious refurbs over the years, and is now looking glorious. The light is quite complicated in this church,…
Greek baptism photographer: All Saints Greek Orthodox Church in Camden All Saints Greek church in Camden is so atmospheric. It’s a real delight for me as a baptism photographer to document services here. Photographers – the area used for baptisms is slightly surprising, so it’s well worth scoping out the church before photographing a service…

A day in the life of a London christening photographer As one of London’s top christening photographers, I’ve photographed hundreds of services.

Christening photographer: St Peter’s Italian Church It was a real delight to photograph this christening at St Peter’s Italian Church on Clerkenwell Road.

Romanian baptism photography in London: St Dunstan-in-the-West on Fleet Street It was such a pleasure photographing this baptism.

It was lovely to see her godmother doting…
Christening photographer at Grosvenor Chapel, South Audley Street in Mayfair, central London The family wanted extremely discreet coverage of this Christening, so I photographed the service from the gallery of the church, out of sight. It was interesting photographing entirely from overhead, and I enjoyed the challenge of looking for emotive moments and still documenting the key…
