I first met Saleema & David what now seems like ages ago, when they booked me for their June 2011 wedding two years in advance. We’ve been meaning to do their engagement session ever since then, with the possible location changing more times than I can count. In the end we settled on doing the session in Vienna, as that’s where Saleema & David currently live. It was a bit of a fly-by visit for me, flying in in the morning and back home in the evening, but well worth it. It was so nice hanging out with these two beautiful people, and I absolutely loved Vienna (the night before I got so excited about the prospect of reliving one of my favourite movies, Before Sunrise, that I hardly got any sleep! :D), I will definitely be returning for a longer visit one day.
I can’t wait for Saleema & David’s London wedding in June, and will definitely be keeping an eye on Saleema’s blog in order to see what kind of things she has planned for the big day.
P.S. I’m so kicking myself right now for not having any of that mouthwatering cake!
Love it! They look so happy! And omg, those cakes! Need to plan a trip to Vienna just for them alone!
I think I might have to as well…
OH MY GOSH! Marianne! I love your work!! YOU ARE AMAZING REALLY!
Awwe. You are too kind!
This shoot reminds me of the film Amélie…such a sweet couple! I love the photo booth shots and the negative space & texture of the big grey building! Stunning
Ooh I love Amélie! How cool if that’s what the pictures made you think of. x
Marianne, you’re awesome! These two are amazing as well, I love each of these pictures right down to the very last one!

Fantasia, Marianne! What a stunning bride2B! Love her coat, the green bike, the jump shot, the red in the photobooth. Such a range of fun and touching shots!
I think the one through the bike is my own personal favourite. Thank you! x
Cute engagement! And super fantastic new look to the site!
Glad you like the site!
These are AMAZING! I bet the Vienna Tourist Board would love to feature these images! I want to go now and relive their day out {esp the photobooth & cake part!} Such a stylish, fun couple, bet the wedding will be fab!
Ooh maybe the Vienna tourist board could sponsor a cake holiday for me. :D
These are so good, Marianne. I love your perspective using the photobooth and the fun, playful feel of the session.

I love the photobooth too. Would it be weird to have one in my garden… Hmm.
These are seriously awesome. I love every single one of them.

Awesome concept with the photobooth. The rest of the pics are gorgeous too, especially the vertical shot of them small against the building.
Thank you!
I NEED that wall now.
It is a pretty special wall for sure.
That wide shot of them holding hands is just killer! Love those branches sneaking in at the top of the frame. Just nailed that! Great images Marianne!
Thank you. I do love that one myself as well. :)
