Engagement Photography That Feels Like You!

There’s something truly magical about Bath. Maybe it’s the golden glow of the stone buildings at sunset, the peaceful corners of hidden gardens, or the way the city somehow makes everything feel timeless. As a Bath-based photographer, I’ve had the absolute joy of capturing some of the most beautiful moments between couples here—surprise proposals, quiet walks, and those soft, joyful smiles that say everything without words.
Engagement photography isn’t about posing perfectly or forcing big gestures. It’s about capturing the real connection between two people, in a place that means something to them. Bath, with its elegant charm and natural beauty, offers the perfect backdrop for that.

Some of the most memorable sessions I’ve done have started with a surprise proposal. Whether it’s carefully planned or slightly spontaneous, I help make sure everything flows naturally—often hiding nearby (yes, sometimes behind a tree!) to stay invisible until the big moment. With local knowledge of the city and experience photographing many couples, I can guide you to the right locations at the right time of day—where the light is soft, the setting is quiet, and the moment is just yours.
Favourite spots? There are so many. The view from Alexandra Park as the sun dips below the hills, the romantic stillness along the Kennet and Avon Canal, the warm stone.
Many couples tell me they were nervous at first, but within minutes it felt like we were just taking a walk together—chatting, laughing, enjoying the scenery, and letting the photos happen naturally.

Bath is a beautiful and idyllic place to propose, with so many romantic spots to choose from. Once you have a date — or a couple of possible dates — please get in touch so I can check my availability.

Every couple is different. Some prefer a lively public space, while others want somewhere private and intimate. Some locations need to be booked in advance, and others are completely free. I’ll guide you through the options and suggest places that feel right for you both.

I’ll help you plan the best approach for your proposal, including ideal timing. Mornings and evenings offer the most beautiful light, and in winter, late afternoon works perfectly for soft, romantic photos.

I always keep an eye on the weather and am very happy to adjust plans to your wishes. If you’d like to make any changes, we’ll work together to make everything feel easy and relaxed.

My approach is very personal. I often hide just before the big moment and then quietly step in to capture the joy and emotion right as it happens. I love creating images that feel natural and full of feeling. Many of my couples say their proposal went smoothly because I helped them organise the moment, made them feel at ease, and captured their happiness beautifully.

The ring is always personal to each couple, but having it ready in a box when you ask the question adds something truly special to the moment — it’s a little detail that makes the memory even more unforgettable.

“We couldn’t have asked for a more magical experience. Beata captured every emotion so beautifully — moments we didn’t even realise were happening. We’ll treasure these photos forever.”
“Amazing experience, incredible photos. Beata is truly gifted.
Beata helped plan every detail of the surprise proposal and made the whole experience effortless. Her kindness, professionalism, and eye for perfect moments blew us away. The photos are everything we hoped for and more.”
Beata offers surprise proposal & engagement packages for every pocket — she truly believes everyone should be able to capture their most precious moments.

"Beata was brilliant. When we booked her for our wedding we also got an engagement shoot too which was great as my husband and I don't normally like getting our photos taken but we had the opportunity to feel comfortable with Beata and love her style of photography and the way she makes you feel comfortable and happy when you are having your photo taken and she also takes fantastic photos when you don't even realise it too! I would recommend her as we loved having her as part of our big day, as did my whole wedding party, she went above and beyond to get the photos we wanted. She is always responsive to emails, sends images on time and we absolutely love the engagement and wedding photos we received" (Caley & Kristian)

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.
