RF Wedding of the Week: French Country Wedding Photography by Marianne Taylor

October 2, 2013

By Laura Brauer

Americans (re: me) have a tendency to romanticize the French Countryside—with its wildflowers, stolen kisses and miles of baguettes. Does it get move lovely, more Chocolat, more French Kiss? This week’s wedding in Aubiac, France captured by London-based wedding photographer Marianne Taylor proves that oui, I am right to have these romantic delusions.
