My name is Marianne Taylor, and I live where the ocean meets the sky on the rugged Atlantic coast of Cornwall, South West England. Previously based in London, my soul was always most at home by the sea, and eventually, I had to answer the call of my heart and relocated to the wild Cornish coast.
‘I went for a walk in Regent’s Park yesterday morning, and it suddenly struck me how absurd it was to stay in London, with Cornwall going on all the time.’
Now, I’m planning another move up the coast to Devon. The plan is to remain in the West Country and close to the sea, but also be closer to the city of Exeter and to transport links to London. While this move is still very much in the planning stages, I’m starting to think about the possibilities of portrait and family shoots in Exeter and beyond, so if you are interested in what I can offer in Devon, do let me know, and we can chat about the future!
I’ve created pictures for as long as I can remember, and I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of the joy that it brings me. My philosophy in life is that there is beauty to be found in everything and everyone, and that capturing and remembering those all important moments – whether big or small – is what adds some magic into life. Whether you book me for a couple session, a family shoot or maybe a West Country elopement, I’ll make sure that you will have beautiful memories to look back on. As well as that, I’m also confident that we’ll have a fun time creating your images!
I believe that my genuine interest in people and my dedication to beauty shows through in my pictures. In 2012 I was chosen as the national winner for Best Wedding Photographer at The Wedding Industry Awards. My wedding work has been published in several magazines such as Cosmopolitan Bride, Wedding, Perfect Wedding, Wedding Flowers and You & Your Wedding. My personal photography has been published on book covers, featured in several magazines – both online and in print – and has also been a part of an exhibition at Tate Britain.
