Rose & Brendan’s engagement shoot yesterday kicked butt. I really enjoyed traipsing around Southwark with this couple, and we even managed to capture some sunshine! Honestly, it was so very strange seeing sunlight through my camera for the first time in months…
To be honest, I really shouldn’t give you any more sneak peeks of anything until I’ve actually finished editing all the weddings and sessions I need to finish, but I just couldn’t resist testing out my new blogging platform. It’s been a long day of moving everything over to Wordpress, but I think things work more or less normally now – or actually, even better than before. Do let me know if you experience any glitches and I’ll get on it!
Oh and do remember to update your RSS feed for Marianne Taylor Photography.

Here’s a little sneak peek from Lucy & Jeremy’s wedding, which took place in the STUNNING St. Bartholomew The Great, with a reception at The Royal Exchange. Full blog post coming some time next week (I hope!).
I should also mention that my blog is experiencing some technical difficulties at the moment, mainly the categories are not loading properly. I will be moving over to a different blogging platform this weekend, which will hopefully make everything better, but in the meanwhile you can still browse via the archives. Sorry for the inconvenience!

It was exciting to see a couple of my brides gracing the pages of the April/May Cosmopolitan Bride. Eleni was featured in the ‘real bride’s beauty’ section…


…and in the ‘real weddings’ section there was a beautifully laid out feature on Magali & Jeff’s wedding. The issue is out now, so go get it! :)

I just had to share this shot from Caroline & Ben’s wedding from last Saturday, as I think it’s one of my favourite pictures I’ve taken so far this year. I still have another wedding to edit before I get to the rest of the images from this one, but I just couldn’t resist having a peek to see whether this came out like I thought it did when I took it.

Katie & Sam’s wedding got featured on The Wedding Chicks. I love how pretty the images look on there, almost like it was meant to be. :D

I thought this ring shot from Simona & Dan’s wedding was a quite fitting way to wish all of you, whether already hitched or yet to marry, a lovely Valentine’s Day! Remember that love is all that really matters in the end. x

Completely forgot to mention that Fiona & Pete’s wedding was featured on English Wedding this week, accompanied by a lovely write-up from Claire. Thanks so much for the really rather sweet feature! x

I know it’s been a while! I’ve had a bit of a nightmare week what with getting ill and all sorts, but I’m finally getting back on track. Hopefully I can show you something from last Saturday’s amazing Andaz/Gherkin wedding soon as well.
In the meanwhile, I thought I’d finally share some pictures of the new Wedding Book. In the past few years I have offered a few different types of albums, primarily because I hadn’t found one that ticked absolutely all the boxes. I have offered coffee table books as I really think the album should tell the whole story of the wedding day, not just selected highlights, and with coffee table books that is possible as it is more cost effective to get more pages in. But the quality of coffee table books is not quite up to what I’d ideally envisage for a wedding album, they always tend to feel a bit less substantial. So that’s why I have also been offering the option of a flush mounted album, which really is a beautiful album to behold, but in order to include as many pages as I feel there ought to be, drives the price of the album out of reach for most – besides most flush mounts can’t even accommodate the amount of pages I want to give my clients.
I am so happy to say that I have finally found the one, and it really is a match made in wedding album heaven. I shall just call it The Wedding Book. The book feels really solid and substantial in your hands, the pages are stiff and lay completely flat and have a beautiful matt finish, which I think really compliments my photography. Each book is designed individually for you and tells the whole story of your wedding day. This means that each book comes up a slightly different – but always quite a substantial – length, while the price still stays the same.
Since I’m a big believer in ’simple is better’, I am going to offer this new type of Wedding Book as the only option for 2011 and onwards – I really feel that strongly that it is the 100% perfect way to display my photographs and to tell the story of your wedding day in the most beautiful way. Those clients who have booked me with my 2010 prices will of course be able to order the older types of albums as well.
I have now switched over to the new 2011 prices, but for those still in consultation stages, who have received the old price list, I will hold the 2010 prices for you if you book by the end of February.
