A lovely wedding and the weather was fine. It was a delight to photograph and really enjoyable. Here are a few images, the full viewing gallery is available on my main web site.
I don’t often attend wedding rehearsals but I always like to visit the wedding venue a few days before the ceremony. When I was invited to attend the rehearsal it was an excellent opportunity to combine a visit to the venue with meeting the minister, groom’s parents, best man and ushers in advance of the wedding.
The minister is terrific and is allowing photographs (preferably without flash) during the ceremony.
Fingers crossed for a fine day on Saturday.
I really must make an effort to keep this blog up to date! Things have been very busy recently mainly with commercial photography commissions, the ‘wedding season’ starts very soon and I’m looking forward to another busy time.
We’re still offering some special offer wedding packages, subject to availability.
I’ve recently started using Twitter and I’m finding it very interesting, great for keeping up with the latest news.
Today I assisted my friend Jen who was photographing the wedding of Harry and Liz at Llandaff Cathedral. The weather was very wet but fortunately the rain stopped for the group photographs outside the cathedral. It was a lovely wedding with the reception at the Museum in Cathays Park. I’m not going to post any images of the wedding but here is one of the interior of Llandaff Cathedral showing Jacob Epstein’s aluminium figure of Christ in Majesty suspended above the nave on a concrete arch designed by George Pace.
Today I had the pleasure of photographing Rob & Kelly’s wedding at the Maes Manor in Blackwood. It was a lovely wedding and everyone had a great time.
A Happy St David’s Day.
A Merry Christmas to everyone.
On Sunday I had the pleasure of photographing Ian and Katie’s wedding at Miskin Manor, Katie’s dress was absolutely lovely. I have photographed many weddings at Miskin Manor and it is a lovely venue that offers a lot of variety for locations with lovely well managed grounds but unfortunately on Sunday the rain didn’t stop so we were unable to take any outdoor photographs. To record the group photographs I set up a small battery powered flash with an umbrella, mounted on a portable light stand with a little additional flash bounced off the ceiling from my on-camera unit balancing the flash and ambient exposures. This enabled me to take the group photographs without the distracting shadows that on-camera flash alone would have produced.
