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.

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.

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.

✨ 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!"

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
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:

Building a strong model portfolio is an essential step for anyone entering or growing within the modelling world. Whether you're just starting out or refreshing your look, your portfolio should showcase your personality, versatility, and presence in front of the camera. If you're looking for Bath model photography that feels natural, expressive, and tailored to you, this is where I come in.

As a photographer, I genuinely love working with people. I have a natural ability to observe, understand, and highlight what makes each person unique. My style is relaxed, encouraging, and collaborative — perfect for helping models feel confident and comfortable during their session. Many people say in their reviews that they appreciate how at ease they feel in front of my camera, how I notice the meaningful little details, and how their final images feel authentic and full of personality.



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.

My goal is to help you feel relaxed and confident, so your expressions and poses look effortless, strong, and real. This approach creates images that agencies and casting directors love: clean, expressive, and honest.
