Despite a little rain on the day, the love and excitement between them shone through. The weather didn’t dampen their spirits in the slightest — in fact, the soft light and gentle drizzle added a uniquely romantic atmosphere to the moment.

As a local photographer based in Bath, just a short walk from the Botanical Gardens and Temple of Minerva, I feel incredibly lucky to work in such a beautiful part of the world.

When we booked her for our wedding we also got an engagement shoot too which was great as my husband and I don't normally like getting our photos taken but we had the opportunity to feel comfortable with Beata and love her style of photography and the way she makes you feel comfortable and happy when you are having your photo taken and she also takes fantastic photos when you don't even realise it too! 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)
