Christening Photography and Videography Lancashire
Candid, Documentary Family Events Photography and Videography
Christenings, Baptisms, Naming Days, Blessings and Ceremonies, First Birthdays (or every year if you’re like us). All the family milestones that deserve celebrating, they deserve to be documented professionally too!
You’ll love reliving all the memories with your very own candid photos and video.
If you’re after a more discreet style of photography and filming to capture more natural and honest moments from your family event, then you’ll love my documentary approach to capturing these important milestones in your family life…
Why Families Choose A Documentary Approach For Christenings, Naming Days & Blessings
Because this day isn’t all about perfect photos, it’s about remembering how it felt. The quiet tears, the proud smiles, the little hands clinging tight. The deep concentration needed by a little helper to light a candle or pour the sand. The personal words spoken. The laughter, the tears, and the tiny yawns…
I won’t direct. I won’t pose. I won’t make you “perform” to ensure the ‘perfect’ shot.
Instead, my experience in documentary-style photography and videography allows me to move discreetly through your day capturing what really matters:
- Real reactions from family, friends and loved ones
- The soft way your baby nestles in your arms before the ceremony
- The little touches: a hand on a shoulder, a whispered word, a sibling’s shy grin
- Genuine connections between you and the people you love the most
You get memories that feel honest, not staged for a camera. True to how that day felt. Because 10/ 20/ 30 years from now, what you’ll treasure isn’t the perfectly symmetrical group photo or the posed shot of your child, it’s the memory of tenderness, love and family.
An added bonus to helping you relive how these moment felt is the powerful combination of Photography + video.
Photos to print, frame, and pass on. Video to bring the sounds, movements, and life back. To take you right back to this moment you hold dear…

Christening Photography and Video – A More Natural Approach
What To Expect When You Book Me For Your Christening
To start it’s all about a simple, open conversation ahead of the day. We talk about what matters to you, who’s most important to include, what kind of memories you want to cherish as a family.
- A calm, unobtrusive presence from arrival to the last goodbye
- Flexibility! I help you choose the best coverage of your celebrations and then on the day I move with the day’s flow. Need a nappy change? A cuddle? A quiet moment for feeding or calming? Totally fine (and lovely moments to capture too!)
- Real, candid storytelling. I anticipate moments, follow the emotion, and capture what you’ll want to remember long after the cards and gifts are packed away.
- Simply capturing those natural moments, the love between you all and everyone celebrating with you so you can look back and remember how special it all was.
Documentary style family photography and videography is about documenting an accurate representation of family life, whether that’s the every day or a celebration like this. You can look at your photos and feel like you’re right back there again.
Why This Matters
This day might feel like just another event right now but it’s a beginning for your little one. A core memory for you and them!
A beginning of traditions, of family history, of stories your child might one day show their own children.
The messy, beautiful, imperfect moments are what make it yours. Not the posed “say cheese” moments on an alter.
If you’d like a photographer who honours that, who really captures tenderness, authenticity, emotion, and you want to look back on these photos and video and feel that day all over again…I’m here for it!

Relaxed Children’s Blessing – Photography and Videography
Love Gets Sweeter is unique as I document your special family occasion in both photography and videography in a ‘hybrid’ approach.
Having both photography AND videography to capture your child’s naming ceremony, christening, baptism or birthday means you not only have professional images to print and enjoy but you get to watch everything back too!
There’s something really special about having both to help you preserve these memories and I’m here to help guide you to ensure you get the very best from having a professional capture your family event.
What To Expect; Naming Day Photography and Video
A documentary photography and video of your family event and milestone is a more relaxed approach to capturing the day.
With every celebration being very personal and unique to you I can help you work out what to capture to get the best from your family photos and video.
One thing I do love to recommend is trusting me to capturing a little bit of family life at home before the celebrations begin.
A little bit of quiet time together before the fuss. Capturing you getting them ready in to their special outfit. Creating some special memories of you together.
After that it’s simply documenting your celebrations, anticipating those moments and connections and capturing the day in a really discreet way so you never have to worry about the camera and can enjoy your day
