Creative wedding, couple & family reportage photography covering Cornwall, London, UK and overseas
Here are a few shots from Rubbina & Louis’ South Bank engagement shoot from a few weeks ago. Despite the lovely sun, the temperature on the day plummeted due to the freezing wind, and I don’t think any of us could feel our fingers by the end of the shoot! But we did still have a good time, which is all that matters. Fingers crossed that was the last properly cold day of the winter. I’m really looking forward to seeing Rubbina & Louis again at their wedding, hopefully in much warmer conditions!
Rose & Brendan’s Southwark engagement session was so much fun. It was the first truly warm day of this spring (even if the temperature has taken a turn for the worse since then) and we even had a few rays of sunshine to brighten up our day. After the looooong, dark and cold winter we’ve had in London, it really felt good to be out and about without being dressed for an arctic expedition. I’m so looking forward to Rose and Brendan’s wedding in June, which, with Rose’s fashion designer credentials, is bound to be absolutely beautiful.
Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention, they also get a gold star for being the first couple ever who jumped perfectly on the first shot! :D
Rose & Brendan’s engagement shoot yesterday kicked butt. I really enjoyed traipsing around Southwark with this couple, and we even managed to capture some sunshine! Honestly, it was so very strange seeing sunlight through my camera for the first time in months…
To be honest, I really shouldn’t give you any more sneak peeks of anything until I’ve actually finished editing all the weddings and sessions I need to finish, but I just couldn’t resist testing out my new blogging platform. It’s been a long day of moving everything over to WordPress, but I think things work more or less normally now – or actually, even better than before. Do let me know if you experience any glitches and I’ll get on it!
Oh and do remember to update your RSS feed for Marianne Taylor Photography.
If there was an award for the craziest engagement shoot weather ever, Simona & Dan’s shoot would win hands down. Oh. My. God. Gale force winds and horizontal rain made this one of my most challenging shoots to date. I have to say that Simona and Dan were absolute troopers, and despite the slightly ‘windswept’ look, Simona managed to look absolutely stunning throughout! They are one of my (many!) couples getting married at the Andaz next year, and as if that wasn’t exciting enough a prospect, their evening party will take place at the Gherkin. I can’t wait!
As a rule us photographers generally have a very turbulent love affair with light. More often than not dark clouds and grey skies try to come between us (unless you’re lucky enough to be a photographer in California), but sometimes we just manage to be in the right place at the right time. On those days, when the sun comes out to play and it’s all good, you know that you and light are as tight as can be.
It was pretty much the perfect autumn day when we went to Primrose Hill for Erika & Jon’s engagement shoot on the last weekend of October. The gloriously warm and beautifully low autumn sunshine made me a bit giddy, and all the colourful leaves were like sensory overload. If only every day and every shoot could be like this!
