✨ 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
Bath Wedding & Engagement 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.

Engagement Photography That Feels Like You!


Photo credit: Beata Cosgrove Photography
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)
