My biggest piece of advice, talk to the parents and officiator before the christening so you know what is appropriate. I was asked by parents to take pictures of a christening during the ceremony. I took test shots in the chapel and felt ok about my lighting. Later, they talked to the officiator and he requested that pictures only be taken after the meeting was over. OK, but that totally changed my lighting set up and I was such a noob at flash that I was thrown off a bit. The pictures came out fine, but could have been better.
Also, make sure to get a list from mom and dad beforehand as to what pictures they want.
Wish I could give you more lighting advice, but it isn't my forte yet. Good luck, and have fun!
