Today my brother was baptized by the Isla Vista Church in Santa Barbara, California. I was there to photograph it.
Spontaneous hug.
Pastor Jason in Uggs and swim shorts, naturally.
The other baptist-ee, Sean.
Reading the Bible before the ocean.
Group prayer.
Sean out to sea.
I braved the cold and went in with them.
First breath baptized.
Embrace.
Kissing his girlfriend, Michelle.
Hopefully another baptism will come up soon (likely this weekend…assuming it doesn’t rain) because I would like to shoot this again, but from different angles. And next time I will definitely come more prepared for the ocean.
