St Crallo's, a lovely Welsh wedding in February
 |
| A wedding at St David's beautiful church in Abercrave in 2013 |
A nice wet Sunday morning and time to have a look at the interior of a church where I shall be covering a wedding in February. No point in going on a sunny summer’s day when I’m trying to reassure myself that I shan’t need to use flash during the service.
What a joy, the church looks stunning from the outside and has a large area around it, where if it is not pouring I can perhaps grab some formal shots before the guests set off across the Brecon Beacons to the reception. Despite the large number of soldiers amongst the guests presumably they are driving rather than yomping.
The interior stained glass windows are an attractive mix of ancient and modern style and the walls are a charming light cream colour with none of the dark nooks and crannies that older churches have. (Photographer chortling with glee as no need to fight with the vicar about how and when a flash gun may be used!) And if, with permission, I do use one at all, lots of light walls to bounce it off.

The main thing to note is that many of the parishioners park their cars on the asphalt entrance. Hopefully the bride and groom can discourage this or they will lose the picturesque background this handsome building makes and our chance of getting some formal groups in the can before everyone gets into the chocolate fountain waiting at the reception venue!
As yet no details on their choice of vehicle?!
