Temple Guiting Manor Wedding Photography
Set in the heart of the Cotswolds near Bourton-on-the-Water, Temple Guiting Manor is an exclusive private estate that offers complete privacy, space and flexibility for weddings and special celebrations. Surrounded by rolling countryside and beautifully kept grounds, the manor feels elegant yet welcoming — refined without being formal.
Temple Guiting Manor is perfect for couples who want a wedding that feels personal, immersive and unhurried. With accommodation on site and the freedom to shape the day exactly as you wish, it’s an ideal setting for candid, documentary wedding photography where real moments naturally take centre stage.
A Relaxed, Documentary Wedding at Temple Guiting Manor.
While photography is obviously important, it’s only one part of your whole wedding day. What really matters is celebrating your commitment and bringing two families together. You may have guests travelling from all over to be there, and you should have the time and space to actually enjoy them.
My approach at Temple Guiting Manor is always documentary-led. I capture the fun, emotion and atmosphere as it unfolds, working quietly with a fly-on-the-wall presence. I won’t pull you away for hours of posed photos or make you miss time with your guests. Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot — it’s a celebration. And the most meaningful photographs are always the natural ones don’t you think?
A Collection of Temple Guiting Manor Weddings
This blog isn’t about one single wedding, but a collection of moments from weddings at Temple Guiting Manor. Each celebration feels unique, shaped by the people and the energy they bring — but the relaxed, candid style to photography remains consistent.
Group Photos Without Stopping the Day
Of course, I’m always happy to photograph family and friend group shots — they’re important too. I simply recommend keeping them relaxed and limited. Around 8–10 group photos is usually ideal and means they don’t interrupt the flow of the day or pull you away from your guests for too long.
At a venue like Tunnel Beaches, keeping things moving helps maintain the fun, laid-back atmosphere that makes it so popular.
