modern vintage brige Archives - London & Cornwall Wedding Photographer Marianne Taylor | Creative wedding, couple & family reportage photography covering Cornwall, London, UK and overseas

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!

Vienna engagement photography

As an enthusiastic reader of blogs, I always find it exciting when I find out a client of mine is a blogger. I really enjoy reading up on their wedding plans, or checking out their style blogs, in order to find out a bit more about what makes them tick. I thought it might be fun to share a few of my favourite blogging brides (and one groom!) with you. I hope you’ll find these blogs, with very different subject matters, as enjoyable as I do.

A Norfolk wedding.

Clare is getting married on the beautiful Norfolk coast, and she blogs about her plans and ideas for the wedding. All her gorgeous moodboards really inspire me and make me look forward to this wedding so much!

Modern Vintage Bride

Saleema blogs about all things wedding. She has an exquisite sense of style and a keen eye for details, especially those with a vintage flair, so I’m sure this is one wedding that will be absolutely stunning. Her wedding is actually split into two, with a Ghanaian ceremony on one day, and an English wedding on the day that I’m covering.

Le Blog de la Mechante

Elodie’s blog is a treasure trove of quirky ideas, beautiful pictures and copious amounts eye candy. Her plans for her wedding are SO creative that the wedding will most likely be the most individual looking one I’ve ever attended, and I really can’t wait to see all the things she will come up with. Hers is bound to be a wedding full of fun and whimsy!

The Cherry Blossom Girl

There’s no denying that Alix is one of the most stylish bloggers out there in the fashion blogosphere. I have no doubt that her wedding will be absolutely beautiful from start to finish, and that everyone involved will look super cool from head to bottom. What a better way to celebrate my birthday this year than to get to record this wedding. Squee!

Georgian London

If you’re interested in the history of London, Lucy’s blog is an absolute treat! Her writing is engaging and her facts well-researched, which has earned her blog all sort of accolades. It really is a fascinating look into the history of this exciting city that surrounds us.

Marc Broussely Photography blog

Marc has just launched a new website, and a new blog to go with it. I really enjoy his music photography and every time I visit his blog I get an itch to go buy concert tickets. If you’re a gig goer and love photography that helps you relive the best times, look no further than Marc’s blog.

Rock ‘n Roll Bride

Well, technically Kat isn’t really a client of mine, but I have done a photo shoot with her, so I say she qualifies! How could I leave out the royalty of UK wedding blogs from my list. If you need ideas on how to make a wedding look like you, look no further. Kat’s blog is packed with individual couples channeling their inner cool.
