Michalis and Paschalis' Christening | Greek Orthodox Christening | The Cypriot Club Bedfordview

-
These gorgeous boys were Christened at The Saheti Church in Linksfield and they handled the ceremony like champs, just like their Chiristening theme which was 'little fighters'. The reception was held at The Cypriot Club in Bedfordview and as usual it was a spectacular occasion. Many family members came from afar to join in this momentous occasion and as such, we managed to get some special family portraits with our mobile backdrop and studio lights. Towards the end of the evening, we were treated to an elaborate display of Greek dancing which among other things, included the burning of whiskey. Something we have never witnessed before. Unfortunately there weren't plates, but the flower petals served this purpose well :) It was a magical affair and one we will remember for a very long time. Thank you Evi and Peter for calling on us to photograph this special day in the lives of your sons.

I am always nervous when incorporating something new into a photoshoot, and this particular instance was no different.  I was asked if I'd do some pre-matric dance photos for a beautiful young lady the other day.  Now that wasn't the difficult part.  The part that worried me a little, was that we'd be including two horses!  I love horses and think they are majestic creatures, but I've have never had the privilege of photographing one, so the stakes were high.  Fortunately our lovely lass handled the setting like a pro, and her equine pals Ronnie and Impi were perfect gentlemen.  All-in-all an absolutely stunning photoshoot which will definitely go down as one of my favourites :)
