Sophie & Henry | Wedding

Sophie & Henry got married in Solihull on a sunny but windy Saturday at the start of July. I had been waiting for this wedding for what seems like forever! We had such a blast during Sophie and Henry’s engagement session last September that I just couldn’t wait to see them again and find out what their wedding would look like. And as suspected, it was all absolutely beautiful!

I just adored Sophie’s gorgeous Pronovias gown and her ridiculously high pink heels from asos, so elegant and girly at the same time. The beautiful peony bouquet from Fleur De Lis really completed the look – LOVE peonies!

The ceremony of Sophie and Henry’s wedding took place in the beautiful Church of St Mary the Virgin, followed by a reception at the Punchbowl, a stunning country pub in Lapworth. Sophie hired the jugs, cake stands, bunting and sweet jars from Vintage Teas & RSVPs. She arranged the table flowers (from Birmingham wholesale markets) herself, with the help of her mum and friends – and her dad grew the sweet peas that were in the jam jars on the top table.

I so enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of this wedding, and I had so much fun hanging out with Sophie and Henry again after all this time. I really wish you guys all the best in your future, you rock!

Sophie & Henry | Sneak Preview

Hello, my name is Marianne and I’m a field addict… I’m sure this will pass (in time with the seasons), but at the moment I just can’t get enough of dragging couples out into fields for some portraits! Sophie and Henry got married in Solihull on Saturday and at Sophie’s request I have whipped up a little super speedy sneak preview. More to come (quite a bit) later…

Elodie & Vianney | Sneak Peek

Last month we had the pleasure of covering Elodie & Vianney’s magical wedding in France. It’ll be a while until I’m finished with processing all the pictures, but I couldn’t resist giving Elodie a little sneak peek of one of my favourite images from the day. Check out Elodie’s blog for her thoughts on the day, and possible further sneaky peeks!

Helen & Tom | Wedding

Funnily enough Helen & Tom’s wedding was the first ‘local’ wedding I’ve ever been a part of. I cover a lot of weddings in central London, and all over the UK, but for some reason I’ve never gotten a lot of enquiries for south west London where I’m based. So in that sense, this wedding holds a special place in my heart.

Helen and Tom got married at the Holy Trinity on Twickenham Green and the reception of their wedding was held at the beautiful Richmond Hill Hotel. The sun was beaming down with all it’s strength all day and the wedding had a real fun and warm atmosphere to it. Helen is one of those uber-organised brides, and I have to say that the schedule at this wedding ran like clockwork (which is a rare thing)! I also have to mention the photo booth, provided by Groovybooth, which was a real blast. I’m not normally a huge fan of photo booths, but this one definitely worked well and looked like a lot of fun – not to mention the resulting pictures were really cool.

I’d like to thank Helen and Tom for finding me so early on, and for being totally awesome, I really loved getting to know you and your families. I wish you all the best for your future together!

Amy & Jonny | Wedding

It’s been a bit of a traumatic week so far, as on Monday, on my way to a engagement session, I fell down some stairs that gave way due to rust and tore the ligaments in my ankle. Ouch doesn’t quite cover it! It’s been a busy week rescheduling things and arranging for cover and extra help for upcoming events. Fingers crossed I’ll be back on my feet soon though!

In order to cheer us all up I’m finally posting some pictures from Amy & Jonny’s super pretty Kent wedding. I have to say I really adored Amy’s style on the day. Amy’s gorgeous dress and veil were by Amanda Wakely Sposa and her beautiful hair bloom, an ivory feather peony which I absolutely l-o-v-e-d, was designed and made by Yasmin Rizvi. Her perfectly ‘imperfect’ hair was carefully teased into place by Victoria Boorman and her make up was done by Vicky Snepp from Space NK in Tunbridge Wells.

The ceremony took place in the charming St Peter’s Church in Ightham, made really special by the beautiful singing from the members of the City of London Choir (with soloist Louisa Brown). This was followed by a reception in the family garden, held in a marquee decorated beautifully with flower arrangements made by a family friend, Judy Debenham (who was responsible for the gorgeous boquets as well), and lots of personal touches, such as the cute lavender bags made by Amy’s mum and the napkins which were made by Amy herself from fabric off-cuts from Cabbages and Roses‘ gorgeous fabrics. Henrietta Donovan was in charge of the catering and I must say that all the food looked simply divine!

I feel so privileged to have been a part of this lovely wedding, with such loving atmosphere and beauty all around. I wish Amy and Jonny all the best in their future adventures together! <3

Rachel & Ben | Wedding

When Rachel got in touch with me originally, she booked me for a few hours to shoot her and Ben’s engagement party in Oxford. They were planning on getting married in Switzerland, but wanted to throw a party for their friends and family in the UK prior to that. Three weeks before the party Rachel phoned me and asked whether I would be available for a longer coverage, as they had just then decided that they were going to change their engagement party into a wedding! The short notice was a bit of a shock for everyone involved in the planning, but it did make sense since Rachel and Ben had already put so much time into the preparations, and since all of their loved ones were going to be under the same roof.

Rachel and her bridesmaids got ready at the beautiful Old Bank Hotel in central Oxford, but from there on things got a bit more adventurous. The unusual, and beautiful, ceremony took place outside on a hilltop in Shotover country park. It was a bit of a new situation for us as photographers logging our stuff across a huge hill, but the setting sure was worth it! I really loved the idea of guests hanging wishes onto the branches of the three underneath which the ceremony was held. In fact, there were lots of lovely details to this wedding, not least Rachel’s beautiful flowers from Daisies, and the gorgeous cars, which came from London Legend.

After the hilltop ceremony, it was back to central Oxford for the evening reception at Gee’s Restaurant, which was the perfect setting to for eating and dancing the night away.

Thank you Rachel and Ben for giving me the shock of my life by changing your plans at the last minute, it really did result in one of the prettiest weddings I’ve had the pleasure to attend this year!

I’m so happy to finally be able to blog about Caroline & Ben’s beautiful London wedding. There are so many things I loved about this wedding, from Caroline’s stunning Jenny Packham gown and headpiece, to the gorgeous Market Suite at the Fox & Anchor where Caroline and the girls were getting ready, through to the beautiful ceremony at Islington Town Hall and reception at The Crypt. There was a real London feel about this wedding, and I loved the fact that when we went for a little portrait shoot with Caroline and Ben after the ceremony, we just hailed a black cab. When in London…

Thanks so much C&B for letting us be a part of your beautiful day!

Lucy & Jeremy | Wedding


















































































First of all, can I just go on record and say that St. Bartholomew The Great is quite possibly the most gorgeous church I’ve ever had the pleasure to visit. Tucked away behind London’s Smithfield Market, it’s so inconspicuous from the outside that you would never guess at the gorgeousness inside. I’m not alone in my opinion either, proved by the fact that St. Barts has been used as a location in several films. It certainly provided a breathtaking backdrop to Lucy & Jeremy’s wedding ceremony.

Mind you, it wasn’t just the church that was impressive, the reception at The Royal Exchange was equally stunning. These amazing venues, and the attention to details, did make me feel like I was lost in a movie or a fairytale for the day.

Thanks Lucy and Jeremy for letting us share your magical day with you, I hope you’re enjoying your kick-ass honeymoon as we speak!

Rose & Brendan | Sneak Peek

London engagement photography
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.

Lucy & Jeremy | Sneak Peek


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!

Tales from the Crypt


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.

Simona & Dan | Wedding




































































Ooh I do love an Andaz Liverpool Street wedding! Luckily I have quite a few of them coming up, but Simona & Dan’s was the first one this year, which makes it a little bit special. The ceremony of Simona & Dan’s wedding took place in the Bishopsgate Room of the Andaz, while their drinks reception was held at the Gallery and dinner in the gorgeous 1901 restaurant. I have to say that I was blown away by how Simona had planned every little detail SO perfectly. From her gorgeous Vera Wang gown, to the purple colour theme running through the day, everything looked just absolutely sublime!

After the speeches guests piled onto an old London bus, which ferried us over to the St Mary Axe at the top of the Gherkin. Despite the darkness and the fog, the views from up there very pretty spectacular. What a place to dance the night away! Oh and a special shout out goes to the boys from Wedding Smashers who did a seriously good job on the decks. If you’re in search of the coolest wedding DJ’s in town, look no further.

Thank you so much Dan and (princess) Simona! I loved every minute of your beautiful wedding and I hope you will always be as happy together as you were on the day. <3
