A Greek Orthodox Christening in Belmore
Penelope’s christening was celebrated at All Saints Greek Orthodox Church in Belmore, surrounded by family and friends for a beautiful traditional Greek Orthodox ceremony.
From the preparations and family moments through to the baptism itself, I focused on documenting the traditions, emotion and little interactions that made the day special. The celebrations then continued at Brighton Lakes Recreation & Golf Club in Moorebank for the reception.
The Greek Orthodox Baptism Ceremony
Greek Orthodox baptisms are filled with meaningful traditions, from the blessings and anointing with oil through to the immersion in the baptismal font. Having photographed Greek Orthodox christenings across Sydney, I’m familiar with the flow of the ceremony and can anticipate the key moments as they happen.
For Penelope’s baptism at All Saints Greek Orthodox Church in Belmore, I photographed the ceremony closely while giving the priest and family the space they needed, capturing both the traditions and the reactions surrounding them.

Alongside the traditions of the ceremony, I always make time to capture the family moments that happen around them. After Penelope’s baptism, we photographed her with her parents, godparents and family inside the church, as well as the natural interactions in between.
These photographs help complete the story of the christening, combining the important religious traditions with the people who came together to celebrate such a special day.
Celebrating at Brighton Lakes, Moorebank
After Penelope’s baptism in Belmore, the celebrations continued at Brighton Lakes Recreation & Golf Club in Moorebank. The reception brought everyone together for family photos, cake, dancing and plenty of relaxed moments with Penelope.
Photographing both the church ceremony and reception allows me to tell the complete story of a christening day — from the traditional Greek Orthodox baptism through to the celebrations with family and friends afterwards.
