Alessia's Baptism in Eastbourne

I was very pleased to be asked to cover the Baptism of baby Alessia a couple of weeks ago.



I have known her parents for a number of years and Betty had asked me to travel to the French Alps to photograph their wedding a couple of years back. Unfortunately i was already booked up as it was a summer date, but these things happen.

The Baptism was held at Christ the King Catholic Church in Eastbourne and then an informal lunch was held at the beautiful Grand Hotel in Eastbourne.

With families traveling in from France and many other places, despite the best efforts of the Icelandic volcano, it was a really good afternoon. I was asked to photograph the day in my usual documentary style as well as include some good family and godparent shots.

Here are a few moments of the day.

Peace at last!
