eritrean baptism

An Eritrean Catholic Christening in South London | Clapham | London

I hadn’t been into St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Clapham before so it was a wonderful opportunity to visit this church that had been part of my neighbourhood for many years. It was a beautiful and very special Catholic Christening for the newest addition to my clients who are of Eritrean descent. Having never shot an Eritrean Catholic Christening this was a real treat for me and reminded me of why I love living in South London so much. After the baptism we headed to local Eritrean restaurant Adulis in Oval for food and dancing and I was also treated to a traditional Eritrean coffee making ceremony which very much forms part of any Eritrean special occasion. The food was warm and the guests/family even warmer. Had such a lovely day with them. Here are my favourite pictures from the day.
