Next week I’m photographing Frankie and Ollie’s wedding at Catholic Parish of the Most Holy Redeemer Church, Porthmadog, and Portmeirion.
There are large windows parallel to the aisle and a high ceiling.
This means the guests may be well lit, but Frakie and Ollie may be back lit. This means it will probably be a good idea to use a bit of flash, esp when she’s walking up the aisle.
There is plenty of room for me to stand back and keep out of the way.
Behind the altar there is a huge statue of Jesus set into a blue-tiled alcove.
I couldn’t figure out how to turn the lights on when I was there, so not sure how it will be lit.
I really like the blue tiles as a background, but they’re tricky to light because of being reflective and curved. This will call for off camera flash at a very shallow angle to the wall, perhaps diffused with one of my tri-reflectors.
There are steps leading up to the entrance of the church, which might make a good place for a confetti shot, with guests lining each side, although there is hand rail that’s a bit in the way.
The wedding reception is being held at Portmeirion and you can see my pre-wedding scout here.
