The couple had travelled all the way from Peru to experience the charm and romance of this historic city — and what better place to get engaged than in one of Bath’s most picturesque green spaces?
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.

Elmhay - a great venue for wedding photography captured by wedding photographer
I recently went to scout out a Somerset wedding venue: Elmhay Park, near Frome. It's set on the Orchardleigh Estate, home to a lake with an island church and even a golf course. So let's take a look round...
First up is Elmhay Village, a suite of lodges and cottages for guests, set around a fine courtyard (below).
The wedding venue itself (Elmhay Park) is in a fine walled garden, dominated by the light-filled Orangery (below).
Ceremonies can take place in the Italian Garden (below) with a covered space that is open to the outside.
Having done a comprehensive recce of the place, I can say with confidence that there are a number of perfect locations for photographing groups of wedding guests, as well as signature shots of the bride and groom.
If you're looking for a wedding photographer for your wedding at Elmhay Park, do please get in touch. Feel free to send me an email, and I will let you have full details of my Elmhay wedding photography packages.

"Beata was brilliant. 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)
