Hi, I’m Irma, an award-winning family photographer working all across London. I create natural, storytelling images that reflect who you are as a family.

My Christening and Baptism sessions all have a documentary approach. I love capturing real emotions so, apart from documenting all the key elements of the ceremony, I also focus on photographing the emotions and interactions of your family and friends.

WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE ME

Planning a Christening can be hectic, and I know how crucial it is to have photography be worry-free.

My London Christening Photography package is simple and customised for you. We'll have a friendly phone call before the day to discuss your plans, key moments to capture, and any special details that are important to you. This allows you to relax, knowing everything is handled, and your family's story will be beautifully documented.

Award-winning London Christening Photography

Most families choose to have both the service and reception documented, but I’m just as happy to photograph the ceremony only. I usually start when guests arrive, cover the full service, and, if you’d like, we can plan a few relaxed group portraits afterwards.

If you decide to have your ceremony photographed, it’s worth checking with your vicar or priest to make sure photography is allowed. Most churches are very accommodating, though a few venues, like St Paul’s Cathedral in London, don’t permit photography during the service.
