SHRUTHI & JOE
MANOR BY THE LAKE INDIAN WEDDING
Day 1: Shruthi & Joe’s Colourful Fusion Wedding at Manor by the Lake, Cheltenham
As a London wedding photographer who adores destination love stories, I was thrilled to document Shruthi & Joe’s Indian–English fusion wedding at the breathtaking Manor by the Lake in April 2025. Bathed in spring sunshine, their day blended vibrant traditions, modern party vibes and genuine emotion—proving exactly why this venue tops every Manor by the Lake wedding photographer’s wish-list.
Cheltenham rewarded the couple with flawless weather: blue skies, blossom-dusted gardens and golden light perfect for natural portraits. The historic Victorian manor’s Cotswold-stone façade shimmered in the afternoon glow, giving us the dreamy backdrop every luxury fusion wedding photographer in London and beyond hopes for.
Under an elegant mandap on the lakeside lawn, Shruthi & Joe exchanged garlands while birdsong mingled with sacred mantras. Documenting an outdoor Indian wedding at Manor by the Lake is a visual feast—rich silks, marigold blooms and joyous colour everywhere. Shruthi’s crimson lehenga and Joe’s tailored cream sherwani caught every ray of sunlight, and the surrounding greenery added cinematic depth to the final gallery.
After the vows we explored hidden pathways, ivy-clad arches and the iconic bridge for couple portraits that honour both Indian heritage and Western elegance. These editorial-style frames show why Manor by the Lake wedding photography is famed for its storybook scenery—and why couples seeking a creative London & Cotswolds fusion wedding photographer travel here for unforgettable images.
Inside the grand ballroom, guests swapped saris for dance shoes. A surprise stand-up comedy set had the room roaring before the DJ unleashed Bollywood beats and classic UK floor-fillers. Capturing those candid reactions—dad’s bhangra moves, best-man mic-drops, sparkler-lit exits—was pure joy for this documentary Indian wedding photographer.
