I was thrilled by the opportunity to photograph this beautiful family occasion in tiny Lucmau in the Gascogne region of France.
The beautiful church stood tall in the blue summer sky as the crowd gathered outside its doors and the ceremony began. Inside the church was cool and tranquil, there was damage to the roof above the font which added a historic beauty and contrast to the images of baby Charlotte's immersion.
I love watching for emotional faces in the audience and had plenty of opportunities for shots of them here.
After the service the party travelled to the family home for a lovely reception where speeches were given and toasts made; communicating the pride, love and happiness on the faces of the family, godparents and friends through my photos felt like a real privilege.
Congratulations Charlotte!
