A surprise proposal is one of the most exciting, heart-pounding moments you’ll ever share and it deserves to be captured just as beautifully as your wedding day.

There’s something truly magical about documenting the proposal from an observer’s point of view, catching those genuine, unscripted reactions and emotions that only happen once. That magical moment might only last seconds, but it’s the start of your forever story. And I’m here to make sure you remember it exactly how it happened naturally, joyfully, and without any stress.

 

Why work with me, Beata?

 

I’m not just your photographer; I’m your local friend, your planning partner - all rolled into one. This is not a numbers game for me as every couple gets a completely personal, tailored experience designed just for them.

I have lived and worked in Bath as a professional photographer for donkey’s years, so I know the city inside and out. From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, I’ll help you find the perfect spot that feels just right for you.

Capturing your proposal from an observer’s perspective allows me to freeze those authentic, priceless moments, the happy smiles, joyful tears, and heartfelt embraces, all without interrupting your flow. Afterward, I’ll spend time with you for relaxed, natural portraits that reflect your unique connection.

 

What you get with every proposal shoot:

 

✔️ One-on-one advice to pick the perfect spot in Bath for your proposal (if you need one :-) )
✔️ Help crafting a smooth, stress-free timeline so everything flows naturally
✔️ A handy planning document packed with tips and inspiration
✔️ Discreet, documentary style photography - (sometimes I even hide!)
✔️ 40 minutes of relaxed, fun couple portraits after the big moment
✔️ 5 beautifully edited preview photos delivered the same day to share your joy instantly!
✔️ 50 fully edited images delivered through a secure online gallery

 

If you’re dreaming of proposing in Bath, let’s make it happen together! I’ll help you plan every detail and capture your story with warmth and creativity.

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!

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

Baptism Photography in Bath: Capturing Beautiful Moments at Your Local Church

A baptism is such a special occasion — a day filled with love, joy, and blessings that you’ll want to remember forever. Whether it’s taking place in one of Bath’s beautiful historic churches or during a smaller family gathering, professional baptism photography helps you relive every precious moment for years to come.

Why Choose Baptism Photography in Bath?

Bath is one of the most picturesque cities in the UK, making it the perfect setting for baptism photography. From the golden stone architecture to the soft natural light, Bath offers a timeless and elegant backdrop for family portraits.

Many local families choose to hold their ceremonies in iconic Bath churches such as Bath Abbey, St Mary’s Catholic Church, or St Michael’s Without, all of which provide stunning spaces for photography. As a Bath photographer, I love capturing the emotion and beauty of these moments — the proud smiles, tiny hands, and all the little details that make each baptism unique.

What’s Included in a Baptism Photography Session

Every baptism photography session in Bath is tailored to your family and your day. Typically, your session can include:

  • Coverage of the baptism ceremony at your chosen local church in Bath

  • Natural, relaxed family portraits afterward

  • Candid shots that capture genuine emotions and joyful moments

  • Professionally edited images that reflect the warmth and meaning of the occasion

Booking Your Bath Baptism Photographer

Surprise & Engagement & Proposal at the Botanical Gardens in Bath
 

One of the most heartwarming moments I’ve had the pleasure to capture recently was a beautiful surprise proposal at the Botanical Gardens & Temple of Minerva in Bath. Somerset

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.

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.

I specialise in engagement photography, surprise proposals, and couple sessions — all tailored to reflect each couple’s unique story and vision.
