Baptisms, Christenings & First Communions in Queens: 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.

Queens is one of the largest cities in North America, home to roughly 2.3 million people. Whether your baptism, christening or First Communion is at Terrace on the Park, Queens Botanical Garden 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 Queens 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 Queens costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.
