Pen & Cam : Cornish farewell couple shoot

November 13, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Last time I photographed Pen & Cam was for their anniversary session right after they had moved to Cornwall. It’s a little bit bittersweet that this next shoot took place at a time when they were getting ready to relocate to Cam’s native Australia. They will be deeply missed by most of Cornwall (no joke,… Keep Reading

Rosanne & Olly : a love story of two beaches

September 17, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Oh my, how time flies! It suddenly seems ages ago when we went for a cliffside walk with Rosanne & Olly (avec the most adorable Turnip!) on one of the many many days last summer when the sun was just relentlessly bright and warm all the way into the evening. What I’d do to go… Keep Reading

Frøy, from Norway & Alex, from Devon, have made Cornwall their home while Frøy studies here. On a beautiful hazy summer’s day, we had a little shoot on the beach to create a memory of this time in their lives. ‘Cornwall has been a little adventure, having fires on the beach, swimming before work and… Keep Reading

June 26, 2018 · Leave a Comment

It was Midsummer’s Eve and the weather really couldn’t have been more beautiful when we headed out to West Pentire for Sophie & Gareth’s couple session.

Cliffside Engagement Session in Cornwall

Cornwall Newquay engagement couple photography by Marianne Taylor.

Technically, these two cuties are already married, but because of the timing of their nuptials, they didn’t have an opportunity to arrange a proper wedding party until now. While the ceremony on the day will be called a Vow Renewal, the day is most definitely a genuine wedding day for them and their family. They… Keep Reading

Enchanting elopement wedding in London by Marianne Taylor Photography.

Both Milla & Nelo’s families live far away from their home in London and trying to arrange a big wedding that would bring everyone together just seemed like a too stressful task, so the couple decided to ‘run away’ and get married without telling anyone in advance! I really do enjoy elopement weddings because there’s… Keep Reading

London engagement photography. Click through & have a love affair with London!_0026

In my opinion, London is at it’s best on a gentle late summer’s evening. There’s a sweetness in the air that smooths the rougher edges of the always bustling city. I thoroughly enjoyed walking through their beautiful neighbourhood for Anne & Archie’s engagement session, and I can’t wait for their big day next year!

London engagement photography. Click through & have a love affair with London!

Generally, I’m very much a parks and nature, cliff tops and the ocean kind of girl, but I have to say that from time to time a super colourful and urban London engagement session can really refresh your senses and eyes. Chiujung & Poyu wanted to find as much colour as possible for their engagement shoot, so… Keep Reading

Jeannie & Billy, who are getting married in Hong Kong later this year, knew they wanted to have engagement photos taken in the UK.

This shoot really is a little testament to the magic of photography… Kozy & Alan wanted to include some beautiful blossoms in their London engagement session, but the cold snap meant that when we met up in the middle of March, there was hardly any blossom around yet.

The magic of Cornwall: plan a romantic getaway

May 25, 2015 · 1 Comment

As I’m getting closer to the BIG MOVE over to Cornwall (woop!), I thought I’d share some of my recommendations for romantic getaways. Whether you’re planning an engagement, pre-wedding or anniversary shoot, you couldn’t ask for a prettier setting than the quintessentially British seaside town of Padstow, or the wild and rugged coastline around Newquay, with its multiple beaches, such… Keep Reading

Kerstin & Dan are from Chicago, where they are getting married later this year, but as they are currently based in London with their work, they wanted to capture their engagement session on the streets of their current home.
