A very wet wedding at Llandaff Cathedral

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.

Ian & Katie’s Wedding at Miskin Manor

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.
