✨ Why capture the proposal?


Many people book a photographer for their wedding day in Bath, but the moment it all begins — the secret proposal or engagement — often goes unseen on camera.

I’m here to help you plan and capture those precious seconds that start your new chapter.

 

Here are a few reviews from surprise proposals and engagements captured by Beata in Bath

 

"We had such a wonderful experience working with Beata! She captured our surprise engagement perfectly and made us feel completely at ease throughout the whole shoot. Her spontaneous ideas and warm, easygoing personality made the moment even more special. The photos turned out beautiful and truly reflect the emotions of the day. Highly recommended!"

"I hired Beata to capture my surprise proposal in Bath, England. She was so accommodating and helpful in every way! I hired a private charter boat for the special moment and Beata contacted the skipper to coordinate a plan. She arrived early, wore a crew shirt, and pretended to be a member of the team so my new fiancée had no idea she was a photographer. Beata went above and beyond in capturing our photos, even taking risks by hanging outside the boat! She was truly a pleasure to work with and shared our photos with us promptly. I highly recommend Beata’s photography services!"

As a Bath-based photographer with years of experience and the over 100 Google reviews, I’ve had the joy of capturing over 60 surprise proposals and engagements. I’ll walk you through:

 

  • The most beautiful and photogenic spots in Bath

  • Perfect timing and lighting tips 

  • Keeping the surprise under wraps

  • How to relax and pose once she says “YES!”

  • Building real connection and emotional support throughout your journey

  • Creating a calm, natural experience where you feel truly seen and celebrated

 

Here’s a bit more about me and what makes this experience unique

 

  • I bond deeply with people and genuinely connect with every couple I meet. Supporting you emotionally and making you feel at ease is at the heart of my work.

  • I see photographs everywhere — not just scenes, but feelings, light, and emotion. With a creative eye and attention to detail, I capture the real magic of your proposal: the joy, the connection, and that unforgettable “YES.”

  • I shoot with a high-end Leica camera, known for its exceptional quality, subtle tones, and rich, filmic detail — perfect for capturing the emotional depth of your moment.

  • I’ve lived here for donkey’s years and have strong family ties to this beautiful city. I know Bath inside out — from iconic landmarks to hidden corners perfect for intimate proposals.

  • Couples often tell me how calm and emotionally safe the whole experience felt, from the first message to delivering your photos.

  • I’m a warm, sensitive person who embraces all backgrounds, cultures, and love stories. I’ve had the honour of photographing both straight and same-sex couples — every story is beautiful and welcome here

  • I’m always exploring and scouting new backdrops to make each moment feel completely your own.

  • I speak several languages — English, Polish, Italian, Russian, and some Hindi — which helps me connect easily with couples visiting from around the world.

  • I don’t just deliver beautiful images. I give you a moment in time, frozen forever in a way that feels honest, emotional, and truly yours.

 

If you're looking for someone who will genuinely see you, care about your story, and gently guide you through the experience, I’d be honoured to capture your “yes” moment in Bath. Please contact me at [email protected] or send me a message

A Bath wedding with a difference. Pictures taken by Bath photographer

According to the vet charity PDSA, 27% of adults in the UK own a dog. So by my reckoning, that means that roughly one in ten weddings in the UK involve one dog owner marrying another dog owner. This raises the question of what marrying couples actually do with their pets during the wedding day itself. While many doubtless call in their local dog-sitter, one couple whose wedding I photographed recently had a rather different idea. When K and J got married at MacDonald Bath Spa Hotel last year, they decided not just to bring their dogs, but to invite their guests to do so too!

The idea worked brilliantly, as all the dogs were extremely well-behaved, and were happy to pose for pictures with their humans....

I particularly loved the rather fetching apparel the dogs were sporting!

Squatting down enabled me to get a dog's eye view of the wedding in progress and I loved it :-)

All in all, the wedding was an absolutely wonderful celebration of the couple's love for each other - and their four-legged friends.

A Photographer Who Sees the Real You

Model portfolio photography isn’t just about posing, it’s about expressing who you are. I’m drawn to those subtle, genuine moments: the way someone moves, laughs, pauses, or reacts. These are often the frames that stand out most in a portfolio because they show a true sense of character.

I would recommend her as we loved having her as part of our big day, as did my whole wedding party, she went above and beyond to get the photos we wanted. She is always responsive to emails, sends images on time and we absolutely love the engagement and wedding photos we received" (Caley & Kristian)
