In contrast to wedding photography, which according to the perception should remind and refer to the glamour of the most important day of your life, or the grandeur of Hollywood films, the photography of baptism is informal, and is treated without too much stress by a professional photographer. However, whether the event is grand, or simple, the photo shooting of cherished moments records our personal history, and each photograph puts us in touch with the lived experiences of the past. So choose the photographer for the baptism of your child with the same care that you would choose the photographer that would captures any other significant moment in your life.

The informal atmosphere of baptism is reflected in the casual dress of the guests, the time at which the baptism is held, which can be in the morning, or in the afternoon and the presence of the many children who move with ease among the guests. However, despite the looseness and informality of baptism, you should keep in mind that the church remains a sacred place. So choose a professional photographer (many parents assign the shoot of their child’s baptism to the same photographer who covered their wedding) who knows how the mystery is performed so as to shoot the baptism without bothering and getting in the way of the priest.

The budget and photography requirements of baptism are certainly smaller than the budget and the demands of the photography of marriage. For example, the photography of baptism can be done without a lot of lights and set-ups, especially when the church has several openings and skylights that allow shooting with natural light. Nevertheless, do not just make assumptions about the services that the photographer will undertake. As with any other photography, ask for and agree on the specific services you want from the beginning and get the agreement in writing so as to avoid misunderstandings and disappointments.

Some important things you should know are whether the photographer will cover the baptism himself, or one of his partners, whether he will go to the reception and whether he will shoot all, or only part of the greetings. Other important details that must be agreed upon from the beginning are the form of delivery of the material, i.e. whether the material will be delivered on video, or High Definition DVD, a photo album and whether it will be analog or digital, whether the price includes an album for godfathers, photography studio for the baby and his/her family, but also the gifts offered.
