Emilie’s beautiful Orthodox christening was a day filled with family, tradition and celebration in Wollongong.


We began at home with relaxed family portraits of Emilie and her family, capturing some beautiful moments together with her Christening box, thoughtfully chosen from Moments La Vie and Emilie’s beautiful dress from Kidz N Style before heading to the Macedonian Church in Wollongong for her christening ceremony. Orthodox christenings are always incredible to photograph, with so much tradition, symbolism and emotion woven throughout the service.


The celebrations continued at Harbourfront Seafood Restaurant overlooking Wollongong Harbour, surrounded by family, beautiful styling and thoughtful details. The day featured a gorgeous cake by Flour & Frost Cakes, florals by Cutie Cutie Florist, styling by Arabella Events, cookies by Fondant and Me,
