The Year in Pictures

January 3, 2018 · 10 Comments

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 my heart with joy. Just remembering all these beautiful days and moments makes me realise that I never want to stop working with private clients completely, there’s just something so special about getting to be a part of real lives and real moments in time.

I hope you’ll enjoy this little selection of my favourites from the past year!

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 family sessions, and even the odd wedding!

This year I’m hoping to shoot more and more down here in Cornwall (It’s just too gorgeous here to ever leave!), but I do have some fun things booked in for London as well. Anyways, without further ado, farewell 2016, you were quite challenging in many ways, but clearly, you also provided some utterly beautiful moments!

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!

The Best of 2014

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

Favourite images from 2013 by Marianne Taylor Photography.

I can’t quite comprehend that 2013 is over already! I genuinely feel like I was only just getting used to writing out the correct year, and now we’re suddenly hurtling into 2014! Whoa.

Looking back at the year, it was packed full of good stuff, though. So many lovely weddings and together sessions, a lot of travel and good times with friends. Many new adventures, challenges and opportunities embarked upon.

It looks like 2013 was full of love & kisses between beautiful people, it’s just a shame it didn’t stick around for longer!
