✨ 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
This lovely couple came to Bath just to get married, starting their day with a beautiful ceremony at Bath Guildhall.
A sweet moment was when the wedding ring was passed on by the youngest person in the room — making the exchange even more meaningful.
After the ceremony, we wandered around some charming spots nearby, capturing real moments and natural smiles. One of my favourite shots was the confetti moment — full of joy, laughter, and celebration.
Bath’s unique charm made the perfect backdrop for all these memories.
This wedding photography was a special gift from the bride’s sister — a beautiful way to capture a day they’ll always remember.
