Amanda and Danny, welcomed baby Benjamin into this world just a little more then ten months ago. Now, Benjamin is ready to take in the Holy spirit. He was baptized on one of the most gorgeous days this Spring. It seems as though every time I document a baptism the birds are chirping, the sky is crystal clear, and God is just waiting to welcome beautiful bundles of joy into His glory. During the ceremony Benjamin was all smiles, ready to accept Jesus into his heart. They started the day with dressing him in a vintage inspired cream one piece with an absolutely charming bib and bonnet. And how perfect was it that St. Bartholomew is located literally two blocks from Amanda and Danny’s home, so we all trotted along Long Beach’s cheerful neighborhood. Of course with all joyous occasions quickly there after comes the celebration. I just had to capture the pin-worthy centerpieces and very chic dessert table that Amanda created for her guests. Congratulations baby Benjamin!
This one below is my favorite. I love the way Danny shows his overwhelming sense of delight in his son’s initiation into the first sacrament with God. I loved capturing everyone’s moment of joy for Benjamin. Look at grandma clapping for him…awwAnd now the proud family.
Seriously, I wanted to be a guest just so I could maybe snatch one of these perfectly put-together succulent centerpieces.
