Engagement and wedding photography at Bailbrook House Hotel, 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:

Welcome to my wedding photography blog!
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!
Squatting down enabled me to get a dog's eye view of the wedding in progress and I loved it :-)
All in all, the wedding was an absolutely wonderful celebration of the couple's love for each other - and their four-legged friends.

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.
