Photographing the baptism of twin girls, Olivia and Ava, was an absolute joy, as their day was filled with love, family, and heartfelt traditions. The day began with the parents and godparents preparing the girls for their special day. I captured the delicate details of their outfits, including their elegant white baptism dresses, adorable little socks, dainty earrings, and personalized gold bracelets engraved with their names.
The ceremony took place at St. Hedwig's Church in Floral Park, Long Island, a beautiful setting for this sacred milestone. The church’s serene and welcoming atmosphere added a special touch to the event. Both Olivia and Ava were baptized in a touching ceremony attended by their closest family and friends. Documenting their expressions and the tender moments shared between the girls and their parents and godparents was an honor, as these are memories that will be cherished for years to come.
After the baptisms, the celebration moved to The Somerley at Fox Hollow in Woodbury, NY, where the family gathered to continue the festivities. The venue was adorned with beautiful table setups featuring a white and pink theme that added a touch of elegance to the space. One of the most delightful aspects of the event was the dedicated play area for the children in attendance. The play zone featured a ball pit, slide, and an array of stuffed animals, ensuring that the little ones had just as much fun as the adults.
The reception at The Somerley was full of joy, laughter, and meaningful moments as friends and family celebrated together. The parents, beaming with pride, shared smiles and laughter as they embraced their loved ones. Capturing the heartfelt interactions and candid moments during the reception made for a collection of photos that radiate love and community.
This baptism was not just a religious ceremony; it was a day that brought together a large, loving community to celebrate Olivia and Ava. Their baptism at St. Hedwig's Church and the joyful gathering at The Somerley at Fox Hollow created memories that will be treasured for a lifetime.
