Looking for a Wedding Photographer for Temple Guiting Manor?

If you’re planning your wedding at Temple Guiting Manor and want relaxed, documentary wedding photography that captures the real atmosphere of the weekend — you’re in the right place.

This is not a conveyor-belt venue. It’s about space, time and experience.

Morning preparations across different rooms of the manor. Guests arriving through the courtyard. Ceremonies in the gardens or inside the house. Long drinks receptions that spill across the lawns. Fire pits. Late-night dancing.

The layout allows moments to unfold naturally and 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?


Group Photos (Without the Production Line)

Whilst 90% of my photography is candid, we’ll absolutely do group photos— just quickly and efficiently.

Around 8–10 combinations usually works perfectly, taking about 15–20 minutes. The gardens, manor façade or courtyard give us clean, elegant backdrops.

Then you’re straight back to enjoying your guests.
