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.

Hello,

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.

"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!"
