Jacob's Christening Photography | St Giles the Abbot Church | Farnborough Village | Bromley

Jacob’s Christening took place on a beautiful sunny morning at the popular Anglican church of St Giles the Abbot in Farnborough. Farnborough is less than 2 miles from Orpington, and within the London Borough of Bromley, as it has since the creation of Greater London in 1965. The church is popular amongst the local community and is a friendly and diverse place, offering many services.

Jacob and his parents, Godparents and friends and family were all there to witness this baby boy’s Christening and South London Christening photographer Christine Constantine mingled discreetly among them and took some natural pictures.

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.
