The year in pictures

December 31, 2015 · 7 Comments

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 by the whole rigmarole of selling our old home, finding and purchasing not only a new house in Cornwall, but also a little ‘city base’ closer to London, and everything that goes with it, including two moves. We’re still trying to figure out the new rhythm of life, when to be where, how to get used to the travelling, but there’s one thing that’s certain – I’m never happier than under the Cornish sky, watching my beloved ocean.

Despite the year being a bit of a whirlwind with lots of new challenges on all fronts, I did get to take photos of some wonderful people and beautiful events, while also mentoring many incredible photographers via Her Lovely Heart. I hope you’ll enjoy this small collection of my favourite photos from 2015!

Cornwall, we’re on our way!

February 24, 2015 · 15 Comments

Photographer in Cornwall.

Once in a while you come across a place where you feel like your soul is at home. You might be thousands of miles from where you ever thought you’d end up, but you just feel at peace. For me that feeling has always been strongest in Cornwall. The wild ocean and the rugged, majestic landscape soothes me in a way that no other place on earth does. Over the years I’ve returned many times, often in winter, the wilder the better!

It’s been a day dream of ours to one day live in Cornwall. To be fair, it’s always been a more of a retirement plan due to the distance and the poor job opportunities for my husband. But sometimes, when you dream hard enough, and when you’re brave enough to ask out loud, magical things can happen.

Due to a combination of circumstances we figured out how we might be able to do this, right now, rather than in the distant future. It’s crazy how fast the momentum picks up speed after a decision is made. Our home is on the market and we’re getting ready to go. I’m sure it will take a little while to get everything in order, and the restlessness is building… I just want to be there already.

Despite the anxious wait, my heart sings with joy every time I think about it. Yes, we are coming, my beloved Cornwall! While it might take a little while for us to get there, I want to start reaching out to those of you out in the South West. If you, or your friends are getting married in Cornwall, do reach out. If you are a local vendor who wants to get together to make things happen do get in touch. If you want to hang out and have coffee or plan shoots or work with me in other ways in Cornwall let me know. I cannot wait to get down there and start my life!

P.s. Those of you not in Cornwall, don’t worry. We are planning to have a base close to London as well, so I will continue with my London (and destination) shoots and weddings, too.

The Best of 2014

December 29, 2014 · 14 Comments

Favourite images from 2014 by Marianne Taylor Photography.

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 into one year. As well as spending a year working on developing the Beloved Collective until May this year, creating the Beloved Magazine, and, of course, getting Her Lovely Heart up and running, I did fit in lots of lovely shoots, and memorable moments filled with love and laughter. I have to say I feel rather relieved that 2014 is drawing to a close though, and I am so happy about feeling way more focused and excited for the next year than I was this time last year. I really think 2015 is going to be different, surprising and amazing!

Here’s to everyone I shared laughter, tears and meaningful moments with, thank you for making 2014 all it was! xo

Brightening up a rainy day

May 23, 2014 · 3 Comments

I am so excited that the David Austin roses I planted in the garden a couple of years ago are starting to settle into their home. The bushes still look a bit scraggy out there, but having flowers like this inside from your own garden just puts a huge smile on my face. I grew these! How gratifying.

A magazine for Beloved

May 5, 2014 · 8 Comments

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!

Beloved-magazine-volume-one_0001

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.

Beloved-magazine-volume-one_0010

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.
