Wedding, anniversary and engagement shoots in Bath with a local photographer
Wedding, engagement shoots in Bath with a local photographer
A wedding is one of life’s most meaningful milestones — a celebration of love, commitment, and the beginning of a shared journey. As a photographer, it's an incredible honor to capture these once-in-a-lifetime moments and tell each couple’s unique story. I had the joy of photographing a beautiful wedding set in two of Bath’s most stunning locations: the Botanical Gardens and the iconic Temple of Minerva and Parade Gardens.
A Personal and Relaxed Approach
When working with couples, my goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere where they feel completely comfortable being themselves. Whether it’s a wedding anniversary, engagement session, or surprise proposal, my approach remains the same: capturing natural moments that reflect each couple’s love and personality.
Bath’s timeless beauty — from the lush gardens to the grand Temple of Minerva — provides the perfect setting for these precious memories. During their anniversary shoot, the couple enjoyed a stroll through the gardens, sharing laughs and intimate moments, while I captured their connection in the stunning natural surroundings. The Temple of Minerva then offered a majestic backdrop to celebrate their love and the journey they’ve shared.

A Day Full of Love and Memories
What makes these shoots so special is not just the photos, but the experience itself. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, marking an engagement, or planning a surprise proposal, the goal is to create an unforgettable experience that feels as beautiful as the memories you’re making.
I believe that when couples feel at ease, their love shines through in every shot — and it’s an honour to be part of that. Bath offers a perfect blend of nature and history, and each couple’s story becomes a beautiful part of this city’s legacy.

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!"

Engagement and wedding photography in Bath
When this couple asked me to photograph their wedding at Bailbrook House Hotel in Batheaston (just outside Bath), I leapt at the opportunity. Before the big day, we met at the venue in order to plan which locations would work well for group photos on the wedding day. It also gave them a picture to use for their invitations.
No excuse now for guests to turn up at the wrong hotel!
The hotel's rolling grounds and gracefully landscaped gardens provide several ideal places to take some engagement shots. One of my ideas was for them both to each produce a drawing showing how they see the other, which caused a great deal of laughter!
Bailbrook House is a handsome Georgian building, and its front entrance provides an imposing backdrop for group photos.....
... and confetti shots:
...as does the garden:
with its majestic trees just asking to be sat on!
The interior also contains some fine period features for wedding photos in a classical style:
