Book a photographer for a baptism
A binyag is short at the church and longer at the reception. A photographer covers the ceremony and the family photos with the ninongs and ninangs; a videographer and a coordinator help when the reception is big.

Before you book
- Check the church's rules on photography during the rite before the day, and share them with the photographer.
- List the family photos you want, sponsors included, so none are missed.
- Book enough hours to cover both the church and the reception.
- Pay in person: on a first booking, at most 50% in cash when you meet and the rest after. Phriend never holds the money.
Questions
- Can the photographer shoot inside the church?
- It depends on the parish. Ask the church office and tell your photographer what is allowed.
- How many hours should I book?
- Most families book the ceremony plus the start of the reception, about three to four hours.
