Catholic Baptism of Matthew
I thought I was going to have a challenging day today…..as soon as I said hello to Matthew he broke out tears. Obviously a photographer with a big scary camera & flash frightened him, however he soon started to get comfortable with me around.
Soon after he got dressed managed to capture some cute photographs.
Here is Mathew with his big sister Laura. I met Laura over 2 years ago when she was an infant, I photographed her baptism as well.
The church was St Charles Borromeo in Ryde, I got there a bit early & captured this using natural light.
Father Paul had a good demeanour with the children. He invited them up to the baptismal font & explained the significance of the Water.
He then got all the children to assist in the blessing of the water.
Matthew getting baptised with his very proud parents looking on.

Here is a couple of candid shots I liked, both capturing a special moment.
