Surprise Proposal at the Botanical Gardens in Bath by Beata Cosgrove Photography
Surprise & Engagement & Proposal at the Botanical Gardens in Bath
One of the most heartwarming moments I’ve had the pleasure to capture recently was a beautiful surprise proposal at the Botanical Gardens & Temple of Minerva in Bath. Somerset
The couple had travelled all the way from Peru to experience the charm and romance of this historic city — and what better place to get engaged than in one of Bath’s most picturesque green spaces?
Despite a little rain on the day, the love and excitement between them shone through. The weather didn’t dampen their spirits in the slightest — in fact, the soft light and gentle drizzle added a uniquely romantic atmosphere to the moment.
As a local photographer based in Bath, just a short walk from the Botanical Gardens and Temple of Minerva, I feel incredibly lucky to work in such a beautiful part of the world.
I specialise in engagement photography, surprise proposals, and couple sessions — all tailored to reflect each couple’s unique story and vision.
Whether you're visiting from abroad or planning a local engagement, I’m here to help you create a relaxed, joyful experience — and to capture every genuine emotion along the way. Bath offers an incredible variety of romantic backdrops, and I’ll help you make the most of it.
If you’re thinking of planning a destination proposal in Bath, or simply want to capture some timeless memories together, I’d love to hear from you.

Bath 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.

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.
The couple said:
“Thank you, Beata. We love the photographs!”
