First Holy Communion Photography – North East London & West Essex

Your Child’s First Holy Communion is a Once in a Lifetime Event in a Catholic family’s life. It deserves to be remembered with beautiful images by using a professional photographer. There is nothing like witnessing the pure joy and beauty that is a little child receiving Jesus for the first time... 

As a specialist in Holy Communion photography, I offer both Portrait and Reportage (documentary-style) photography services to capture the joy, beauty, and sacred meaning of your child receiving the Eucharist for the first time.

 I would be more than happy to offer photography services to suit your requirements and your budget. 

First Holy Communion Portrait Photography

My First Holy Communion Portrait Sessions are thoughtfully designed to create elegant and heartfelt images that you and your child will cherish for years to come.

Each session typically includes:

• Individual portraits of the Communion child in their ceremonial attire
• Portraits with parents and siblings
• Family group photos with immediate family
• Optional close-up detail shots (e.g. rosary, Bible, accessories)

Portrait sessions can be done at your home, in a church setting (if allowed), or outdoors in a nearby park or garden for a natural feel.

Reportage / Candid Holy Communion Photography

For those who want to document the full spirit of the day, I offer Reportage-Style First Holy Communion Photography. This natural, photojournalistic approach captures your child and your family in candid moments throughout the day.

This includes:

• Discreet coverage of the church service (with permission)
• Candid moments of your child during and after the sacrament
• Photos of family and guests celebrating
• Formal portraits after the ceremony

You will receive 100+ professionally edited, high-resolution images capturing the emotions, atmosphere, and joy of the occasion. 

Customised Packages to Suit Your Needs - Whether you're planning a quiet family gathering or a larger celebration, I offer flexible photography packages to match your event size and budget. I’d be honoured to work with you to create something special.

 I cover North East London and West Essex, United Kingdom (I am happy to travel outside these areas, however small travel fee may occur).

 Please feel free to ask for more details about documenting your child's First Holy Communion. You can also email me at contact@littlebunnyphotography.com or call 074 1146 4477.  I would love to chat with you! 

For my  First Holy Communion portrait sessions I want the photos to look as pure and heavenly as possible. For my outdoor Holy Communion portraits I always aim to find stunning locations; I love local beautiful meadows and parks, full of blossom and fresh greens at this time of the year. BLUEBELL or BUTTERCUP sessions are the most popular in May. Your home or the CHURCH are great locations for this type of the session as well. 

The children look so beautiful; they are dressed up in their pretty white dresses and handsome suits. I take many different types of portraits, some traditional, some of them more child like and free.  I usually photograph the children with their rosary and Bible with them.

Holy Communion sessions take place on the actual ceremony day itself or can be arranged for another day before or after the ceremony.  

Having the portrait shoot prior to the actual First Holy Communion day sounds unusual, but it is a great idea to have your child's portraits ready earlier and print them as a gift for your guests or on your Thank You Cards.
