Marianne Taylor Photography | Portrait & Family Photographer in Cornwall
On-location portrait and family photography in North Cornwall. Siren of the Sea sessions, couples, families. Soft, romantic, coastal.
It was amazing to see Alev & Can’t South of France wedding featured over 10 pages in Martha Stewart Weddings Spring-Summer 2015 issue in Turkey! This wedding was just the loveliest, and it was amazing to work with Lavender & Rose Weddings, can’t wait to do it again next month!
It was such a pleasure to plan and shoot this spring flower editorial with Steph of Fairy Nuff Flowers for Mennään naimisiin! (Let’s get married!) magazine in Finland. We also shot DIY tutorials for creating some of the flowery touches Steph designed, and I love how they laid everything out in the feature, everything looks so pretty. If you’re in Finland, the issue is out now! You can see more images here.
I’ve feel slightly embarrassed that I completely forgot to share this piece of press at the time it was published! I’m talking at a super exciting new photography festival called SNAP next month, and Photo Professional magazine ran a brilliant article on it a few months back. It was a nice surprise to see my image used full spread at the beginning of the piece (and to be referred to as ‘big name in the field! Ha.). I’m so excited to be a part of this new endeavour, and I’m sure SNAP will be a roaring success and that there will be many more to come in the future!
Over in the UK, a DIY shoot I did for Bridal Musings got featured in Wedding magazine.
Florence & Alvaro’s South of France wedding had a 7-page feature in Mennaan Naimisiin magazine in Finland!
Also in Mennaan Naimisiin, our Pink & Turquoise shoot with Fairy Nuff Flowers continued making waves.
And last but certainly not least, Rachel & Alexander’s Northbrook Park wedding day got featured in Wedding magazine.
Ah, such good memories from Jo & Tom’s wedding in Cornwall! It was lovely to see this wedding featured in the September/October issue of You & Your Wedding magazine.
I was interviewed about Beloved for Kamera magazine in Finland. I was pleased that they used so many images and gave me 6 pages!
Sarah & Boris’ (rainy!) Hampton Court Palace wedding was featured in the Perfect Wedding magazine.
This is a pretty big day. A project that has been taking quite a lot of my time in the past year or so, has finally come to fruition. I am so SO proud to present to you the first issue of Beloved magazine!
It seems like forever since the initial idea for a magazine came to me, and the feeling of holding the finished product in my hands feels pretty special indeed. It was so much fun working on this project with the incredible Miranda Eason. I can’t quite believe that years after jokingly talking about making a magazine together, we’ve actually gone and done it! I’m also overwhelmed by the amazing quality of work we received for the first issue, whether you are interested in the Beloved technique or not, you will enjoy the gorgeous collection of stories and images showcased within.
You can read more about the magazine over on the Beloved Collective blog. The magazine is available in both electronic form and as a printed ‘collector’s item’ through this link. It’s also possible to purchase an iPad version through the magcloud app.
P.S. the photograph on the cover of the first issue is by the amazingly talented Fer Juaristi, who is also interviewed on the pages of the magazine.
I loved reminiscing over Julie & Ryan‘s gorgeous Preston Court wedding, which is featured in the current issue of Wedding Flowers magazine. Flowers by the ever-amazing Euphoric Flowers.
I was cleaning up the office and found the December issue of F2 magazine, with my interview in. Had completely forgotten to share this. The image is of course from the amazing wedding of Binky and Dazzy!
I’ve been very bad at blogging features lately. To make up for it, here’s Sarah & Sam’s wedding in the November/December issue Wedding Flowers Magazine. Oh it makes me miss the summer so!
Towards the end of last year I was interviewed for a Finnish wedding magazine, Mennään naimisiin (Let’s get married) about my approach to wedding photography and Beloved. The issue is now out in Finland, for those who are interested over there. It was truly a strange experience to read about yourself in Finnish, not something that happens too often! Quite fittingly, the article also features pictures of another Finn living and working in the UK, Minna, with whom I did a Beloved session last year.
A while back Photo Professional magazine interviewed me about the Beloved interaction technique for portrait photographers, and the issue with the finished article is out now. I feel like it’s the best, most concise explanation on Beloved that I’ve managed to convey through a magazine article yet, so I’m personally very pleased!
It’s been a while! But it is a fresh new year (gosh, how is it already the latter part of February??) and after a few months of hibernation and behind-the-scenes tinkering it’s time for new adventures, as well as some new glossy pages featuring my lovely beaming couples + two pretty girls with pretty tresses & dresses.
The March/April issue of You & Your Wedding features our blooming Fetcham Park bridal hair shoot…
…as well as Binky & Daz’s uh-mazing sun-filled wedding day…
…while Cathryn & Alex’s Cornish wedding was featured in the Jan/Feb You & Your Wedding…
…and let’s not forget Marie & Woody’s Botley’s Mansion fairytale affair in Perfect Wedding magazine.
A quick press round-up before the year is out!
In the Nov/Dec issue of You & Your Wedding magazine, Polly & Jack talked about their decision to downsize their wedding.
Mia & Andrei’s yellow accented wedding got featured in the Nov/Dec issue of Brides magazine.
A couple of pages from the past month, gracing some very special people. Love the way my clients look in print! :)
Flora & Benjamin’s French countryside wedding got featured in the autumn issue of Marions-Nous! magazine.
Images from Minna & Mike’s Beloved session got featured in the Sept/Oct issue of You & Your Wedding magazine alongside an interview of Minna.
Andrea & Sean’s gorgeous Maltese wedding was featured in the Summer issue of Reverie magazine…
…and the beautiful couple also got to star in You & Your Wedding magazine‘s July wedding supplement.
I know, I know, it’s a leetle bit late, and not even sure if this is all of it, not quite on top of the publication schedules of magazines at the moment. But anyways, in April/May, at these lovely couples graced the pages of the following magazines.
Rachel & Nick’s gorgeous marquee wedding was featured in the May/June issue of Wedding Flowers magazine.
And Sophie & Jonny’s cool burlesque wedding in the first ever issue of Unique Bride. I really loved the unusual format of this new magazine!
A couple of recent tear sheets. Lisa & Alex’s uhmazing Preston Park wedding was featured in Wedding magazine.
Flora & Ben’s beautiful French wedding appeared in Signature Weddings magazine…
…as did Emily & James’ wedding in Florence, Italy.
The year has barely got going, but it seems like so many amazing things have already been happening. My couples have also been busy prettifying the pages of many a magazine. Here’s a round-up on the latest coverage.
Isla & Ewan’s Scottish wedding was featured in the January issue of Wedding Flowers magazine.
Alexis & Jack’s glamorous Bath wedding can be currently seen in the Feb/March issue of Wedding magazine.
Christian & Phil’s civil partnership at the Gherkin was featured a while back in the summer issue of Pink Weddings, but I only got my hands on the magazine now.
Irene & Benn’s gorgeous London wedding graced the pages of Wedding Nouveau magazine‘s winter issue.
Sarah & Will’s London engagement session was featured in the brilliant Dashing magazine. Although this was technically an engagement session (purely because it took place before the nuptials, rather than a few years after), the article talked about Beloved sessions. I’m always happy to raise awareness of Beloved, so this was perfectly fine by me.
Blush magazine chose a picture from Alexandra & Billy’s Maunsel House wedding (top right) as one of their ‘favourite photos’ in the latest issue…
…while You & Your Wedding ran a feature on Alex & Billy’s wedding in their March/April issue.
And to end on a different note, also in the latest issue of You & Your Wedding, a pretty little pink & turquoise flower shoot we did with the lovely Steph (will tell you a bit more about this shoot later on).
I haven’t done a press round-up in a while, so I thought I’d better fix that. Here are some pages from magazines from the last few months starring my couples. It never gets less exciting seeing my weddings in print, it’s just somehow very satisfying for an ex-magazine designer to see beautiful layouts with your own images.
First up, Katie & John’s beautiful Northbrook Park wedding was featured in the November issue of Wedding Flowers.
Saleema & David’s cool London wedding is currently gracing the pages of the
January (yes, as in next year, funny how that works) issue of You & Your Wedding.
Abi & Simon’s whimsical Surrey wedding was featured in the December Wedding Ideas Magazine.
And last, but not least, Rachel & Ben’s Oxford wedding with an outdoors ceremony
was featured in the October issue of Perfect Wedding.
I still can’t quite believe that the current October/November issue is the last ever issue of Cosmopolitan Bride. Cosmo Bride was the first magazine to feature pictures from the weddings of my lovely couples, and it is really really sad to see it go. Flo & Chris’ beautiful farm wedding is gracing the pages of the last issue, and with that, I will bid my farewell to the prettiest bride on the block… it has been an honour and a pleasure to share column space on your beautiful pages. x
