The Year in Pictures

January 3, 2018 · 11 Comments

Favourite wedding together family photographs from 2017.

Here we are again, waving goodbye to yet another year! While 2017 was the year where the commercial side of my photography business really took off and kept me super busy, there were still lovely moments shared with Together and Family photography clients, as well as some editorial commissions and a few weddings that filled… Keep Reading

St Pancras Renaissance Wedding Photography

October 9, 2017 · 14 Comments

Wedding photography at St. Pancras Renaissance by Marianne Taylor.

I’m so late blogging this London vow renewal and wedding celebration! I don’t quite know how the summer is already in the rearview mirror and we’re heading straight into winter. It feels like only yesterday when we gathered at St Mary Abbots for a beautiful ceremony and, afterwards, hopped onto a Routemaster that took us to St… Keep Reading

Aynhoe Park Wedding Photography

Aynhoe Park wedding photography by Marianne Taylor.

It was such a pleasure to get to return to Aynhoe Park for another beautiful and unique wedding day. The summer weather was showing its best, and the grounds of this beautiful venue transformed into a wonderland with cocktails on the lawn and deer coming up to see what was happening. There were out-of-this-world-beautiful floral… Keep Reading

Countryside Summer Wedding at Soho Farmhouse

Soho Farmhouse countryside wedding photography by Marianne Taylor.

It felt like such a long time since Anne & Archie’s London engagement session, but when their beautiful countryside wedding day at Soho Farmhouse finally arrived it was certainly worth the wait! The day started in such an idyllic setting, with the girls getting ready at the cutest cabin where Gemma Sutton was in charge of hair & makeup…. Keep Reading

Enchanting Elopement Wedding in London

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

Garden wedding in Cornwall

Cornwall garden wedding photography by Marianne Taylor.

I can’t quite express how much I love photographing weddings local to me. I moved to Cornwall for its immeasurable beauty and relaxed lifestyle, and Cornish weddings tend to reflect these very same qualities. Tara & Simon got married in a beautiful marquee on the lawn of their own house in St. Ervan in North… Keep Reading

Siren of the Sea Portrait in Cornwall. Marianne Taylor Photography.

I know, I know, I’m a little bit late with this whole ‘2016 favourites’ post, seeing that we’re suddenly in February already! But hey, better later than never eh? Last year I concentrated mostly on building the commercial side of my photography business, but I still managed to fit in some pretty portrait, couple and… Keep Reading

Kensington Palace Orangery wedding photography by Marianne Taylor. Click through to see more!

Time is a funny thing. It seemed like I had been waiting for Victoria & Charles’ wedding day for ages, and yet it felt like it was only yesterday when we got together for their engagement session in Somerset. Taking on such a limited number of weddings means I’m looking forward to each one with… Keep Reading

Favourite images from 2015 by Marianne Taylor Photography.

What a strange and wonderful year 2015 has been! When we were leaving Cornwall after a short stay last December, I remember saying a silent goodbye to the ocean and wishing I never had to leave… It’s kind of mindblowing that now, a year later, we actually live here! Most of 2015 got swept up… Keep Reading

Charley & Freddie | Wedding

October 5, 2015 · 15 Comments

Charley & Freddie’s wedding was special for many reasons. Not least because I had earlier photographed Charley sister Jess’s wedding to Luke, and prior to that Jess’s friend Lucy’s wedding to Matt, and even further back Lucy’s brother David’s wedding to Eleni. So being there for Charley & Freddie’s wedding made me feel connected to… Keep Reading

Jenni & Ibrahim | Wedding

August 31, 2015 · 5 Comments

It’s a gloriously sunny Bank Holiday Monday in Cornwall, which makes my mind wander back to Jenni & Ibrahim’s equally sunny (albeit much, much hotter!) elopement wedding in Vienna. The Finnish-Turkish couple currently live in Ibrahim’s home city of Istanbul, but as Jenni was born in Vienna, they decided it was the perfect location to ‘elope’ to, with just… Keep Reading

Mary-Jane & Andrew | Wedding

August 24, 2015 · 2 Comments

Mary-Jane & Andrew’s wedding was such a joy to photograph! The couple had their ceremony at a registry office in London the previous day, with just witnesses present. The next day, they hosted an intimate reception for their nearest and dearest at Rossini at The Leatherne Bottel, a magical place by the river, which is where I… Keep Reading

Aran & Mark | Wedding | Farewell brunch

August 6, 2015 · 5 Comments

The last day of Aran & Mark’s fairytale Provence wedding weekend at Villa Baulieu started with a relaxed brunch by the pool. Hardworking planners Lavender & Rose and florist Miss Rose Perrine had created yet another pretty scene, which was the perfect way to say goodbye to guests who came from near and (mostly) far. We took in the gorgeous scenery one… Keep Reading

Aran & Mark | Wedding

Creative Wedding & Together photography by Marianne Taylor. Click through for portfolio.

Whenever I get to work with Cannes-based wedding planners Lavender & Rose  I know there’s going to be magic involved, and Aran & Mark’s Provence wedding certainly didn’t disappoint! Wedding planner Jennifer was in charge at the amazing Villa Baulieu, while Parfums & Saveurs took care of catering and the talented Miss Rose Perrine did gorgeous things with flowers. The day… Keep Reading

Aran & Mark | Wedding | Welcome Cocktails

July 21, 2015 · 7 Comments

Aran & Mark’s South of France wedding weekend kicked off on the Friday evening with welcome cocktails at Le Pigonnet in Aix-En-Provence. The surroundings and the setting sun couldn’t have been more beautiful. Add to that glamorous dresses, the excited sounds of people coming together, and all the little details, such as the adorable welcome packs and the stationery… Keep Reading

Fine art Aynhoe Park wedding photography by Marianne Taylor. Click through to see more.

It’s always such a pleasure to get to shoot at the magical Aynhoe Park and Rebecca & Craig’s wedding, which I’d been impatiently waiting for ever since their engagement session, sure didn’t disappoint! The day started with Gustav and Lisa from Michael Van Clarke weaving their magic with hair and make-up, before Rebecca stepped into her Stephanie Allin gown and Jimmy Choo  heels. We… Keep Reading

The magic of Cornwall: cliff-top weddings by the sea

June 1, 2015 · 3 Comments

Over the years I’ve been so lucky to return to Cornwall over and over again for some of my favourite weddings, I have to pinch myself when I think that I will be living there permanently, and that these sort of affairs will be ‘the norm’! Cornwall offers many spectacular wedding venues with stunning sea… Keep Reading

The Best of 2014

December 29, 2014 · 14 Comments

2014 has been one of those funny years… on the other hand, it seemed like Christmas and the end of the year caught up with me way too fast, but at the same time it felt like a looong old year. So many challenges and changes took place that looking back it seems crazy it all fitted… Keep Reading

Liz & Jonathan | Wedding | Farewell brunch

October 21, 2014 · 6 Comments

If you saw my post on Liz & Jonathan’s French Riviera wedding day yesterday, you’ll know how much beauty there was to be found at Chateau Diter in Grasse. Well, I hope your eyes can take a bit more, as we move on to the next day, and the farewell brunch. There were pretty blooms, lawn games,… Keep Reading

Liz & Jonathan | Wedding

October 20, 2014 · 12 Comments

For Liz & Jonathan’s gorgeous wedding we returned to the South of France, this time to the capital of perfume, Grasse, on the picturesque Côte d’Azur. The stationery by Louise Richardson already set the tone for the glamour to come, and indeed pretty much everything about this wedding was like straight out of a movie scene…. Keep Reading
