Bath Spa wedding with a difference. Pictures taken by Bath photographer
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.

✨ 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!"

Bath Model Photography by Beata Cosgrove Photography
Bath Model Photography: Why Beata Cosgrove is the Perfect Photographer for Your Model Portfolio
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.
Your Model Portfolio
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.
A Photographer Who Sees the Real You
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.
