Baptism photography

Baptism Photographer in Santo Domingo and the Dominican Republic

Babula Shots shoots baptisms inside the stone churches of Santo Domingo’s Zona Colonial — gilded Baroque altarpieces, stained glass, walls that have stood for centuries. We don’t stage anything or get in the priest’s way: we work the aisles, chase the light coming through the high windows, and wait for the real moment — the baby staring up at the priest, a grandmother tearing up, the godfather holding the candle steady. Coverage runs 2 hours, from arrival through the full ceremony to the family group shot at the altar once it’s over. In Santo Domingo the package is RD$16,000; anywhere else in the country it’s a flat RD$20,000, travel included, no line-item surprises later. A 50% deposit holds your date, and the rest is due the day of the session. Edited, high-resolution photos land in a private online gallery, ready to download and print.

We’re not limited to Santo Domingo: we cover baptisms in Punta Cana, Bávaro, Cap Cana, La Romana, Casa de Campo, Santiago, Puerto Plata, Samaná, Las Terrenas, Jarabacoa, and the rest of the country, always at the flat RD$20,000 rate outside Santo Domingo. Delivery is digital, through the private online gallery; if you’d also like a printed album or framed prints, we can arrange that as an optional add-on.
