Not quite a wedding!

Wedding day indifference

     Well, I covered the lovely little ankle-biters ceremony and although it had none of the things that make a wedding day special it definitely wasn't a complete disaster.
       Not a hoody in sight!
       Despite a very chilly church and no sense of occasion, I think a good time was had by all. The English Vicar was charming and funny (even if the jokes went straight over the heads of all the assembled company) and the children, mainly Welsh speakers (I believe) were very well behaved and sang their Welsh song very well.

Wedding disappointment? Or is she just cold?

      The most noticeable difference about this wedding, apart from the height of the participants was the complete lack of interest of the bride in her groom and vice versa.

Weddings in charming Welsh Churches

October  6th 2012

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.

Light and bright, the church of St David in Abercrave, a photographers delight

   

    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?!

THE WEDDING OF CERI CANNON AND ANDREW SMITH

Baby Jessica Louise 

May 4th 2011

Very much the centre of attention at the wedding of Ceri Cannon and her delightful new husband Andrew Smith was their eight week old baby daughter Jessica Louise who behaved delightfully throughout the ceremony and was the only one who appeared completely unaware of the sudden drop in temperature as the brave party approached the beach.

Who is this (with bridegroom Robert currently in ‘Hustle’)? Aged 21. And which hunk does he famously play? Sadly missing from our screens for too long.
