Baptisms, Christenings & First Communions in Henderson: photography & video

Baptisms, christenings and First Communions are quiet, meaningful ceremonies, often with godparents and extended family gathered in church. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers cover the ceremony with care, along with family portraits and the gathering or brunch afterward, so you have a full record of a day that happens only once. We also photograph the small things families tend to keep, such as the gown, the candle and the certificate.

Henderson is a major city in Nevada, home to roughly 286,000 people. Whether your baptism, christening or First Communion is at Green Valley Ranch Resort Spa and Casino, The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa or a family home, your MacroSnaps crew arrives early to check light, angles and any venue rules.

Churches set their own rules for photography, and many limit movement, flash or positions during the sacrament. We confirm the rules with your parish or priest in advance and work discreetly, usually from the side aisles or the back. If photography isn't allowed during the ceremony itself, we arrange portraits at the font or altar immediately afterward, which many families find gives better results anyway.

For a typical baptism, christening or First Communion, clients in Henderson book about 2 hours of photography ($350) and 2 hours of videography ($500). Photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour; videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour, with a 2-hour minimum. The first-hour price includes travel, so Henderson costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.

Planning tips

Planning your coverage in Henderson

Confirm the church's photography rules

Ask your parish office whether photography and video are allowed during the sacrament and where photographers can stand. Some churches allow photography only for private baptisms.

Book 2 to 3 hours

The 2-hour minimum usually covers the ceremony and family portraits. Add an hour or two if you'd like the reception covered as well.

Plan portraits after the ceremony

Ask the priest whether you can stay for 15 to 20 minutes after the service for photos at the font or altar. Churches are often dim, so this time allows us to work carefully.

Consider video for the sacrament

Video records the prayers and blessings with sound. For First Communion Masses with many children, a second photographer or videographer can cover your child while the other covers the full ceremony.
