Why proposal photography?

One moment.
Priceless forever.

You've planned the perfect proposal. You've chosen the ring, the location, the words. You've thought about everything — except the photographs. And in the rush of that extraordinary moment, nobody will be reaching for a camera.

That's where I come in. I arrive before you, scout the space, find the perfect vantage point — and then I disappear. When the moment happens, I'm there. You won't see me. Your partner won't see me. But every tear, every laugh, every embrace will be captured in full.

👁️
Completely invisible
I position myself out of sight using long lenses. Your partner will have no idea a photographer is present until you choose to tell them.
📍
Location expertise
I know Bath's most romantic spots inside out — where the light falls, where to stand, which angle tells the story best.

The process

How it works

From your first message to the moment your gallery lands in your inbox — here's exactly what to expect.

01
Get in touch
Drop me a message with your proposed date, location and a rough idea of what you're planning. Everything is completely confidential — I'll never contact your partner or post anything without your permission.
02
Location scout
Once booked, I'll visit your chosen location in advance. I'll assess the light at your planned time, identify the best angles and plan exactly where I'll be positioned so nothing is left to chance on the day.
03
The proposal
I arrive early, get into position and wait. From the moment you appear to the moment you both walk away together, I capture everything — the approach, the question, the reaction, the first embrace as an engaged couple.
04
Your gallery
Within two weeks, your fully edited gallery arrives — typically 80–150 images. You'll have complete download and print rights, and I'll never share images without your explicit permission.
Where to propose in Bath

My favourite proposal locations

Bath is one of England's most romantic cities. These are the locations I know best — where the light is extraordinary, the setting is unforgettable, and the photographs will be stunning.

location-pulteney.png
Pulteney Bridge
Bath City Centre
One of Bath's most iconic spots — the bridge at golden hour is extraordinary. Best at dusk when the lights reflect on the weir below.
location-royal-crescent.png
Royal Crescent Gardens
Bath
The sweeping lawn in front of the Royal Crescent is perfect for a proposal — open, elegant and unmistakably Bath.
location-prior-park.png
Prior Park
Bath
The Palladian bridge and lake at Prior Park create a breathtaking backdrop — intimate, leafy and utterly romantic at any time of year.
location-sydney-gardens.png
Sydney Gardens
Bath
Bath's oldest pleasure gardens — hidden paths, iron bridges and mature trees make this one of the city's most secret and romantic corners.
location-roman-baths.png
Roman Baths at Dusk
Bath City Centre
The torchlit Roman Baths after hours is a truly once-in-a-lifetime setting — available for private hire for the most special occasions.
location-avon.png
River Avon Path
Bath
A quieter, more intimate setting — the riverside path offers beautiful natural light and a relaxed backdrop away from the crowds.
A real proposal

Tom & Alice —
Pulteney Bridge at dusk

Spring 2025 · Bath City Centre

Tom contacted me three weeks before he planned to propose to Alice on Pulteney Bridge. He'd chosen the spot because it was where they'd walked on their first date in Bath — it meant everything to both of them.

I arrived an hour early, found a position on the opposite bank with a clear sightline to the bridge, and waited. The light was perfect — that pale gold that only appears in early spring. When Tom stopped walking and turned to Alice, I had the shot before she'd even registered what was happening.

"She was invisible. I had absolutely no idea there was a photographer anywhere nearby. When we saw the photos two weeks later, we both burst into tears — they captured everything perfectly."

— Tom, Bath

My promise to you

Complete discretion,
always

I understand that a proposal is one of the most private, personal moments of your life. Everything about how I work is built around protecting that privacy and making sure your partner has absolutely no idea what's coming.

I have photographed over 70 proposals and I take the trust placed in me extraordinarily seriously. Here is my promise to every client:

Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I book?
As soon as you have a date in mind. Popular times — Valentine's Day, Christmas Eve, summer evenings — book up quickly. A few weeks is usually enough but the more notice you can give, the better.
What if my partner suspects something?
It happens! I'm very experienced at blending in and have a range of cover stories ready. Even if your partner notices someone nearby, they won't know they're being photographed.
Can you help me choose a location?
Absolutely — it's one of my favourite parts of the process. Tell me a little about your partner and what they love about Bath, and I'll suggest a shortlist of locations that will make for both a perfect proposal and beautiful photographs.
What if it rains?
We either reschedule (if you have flexibility) or embrace it — rain and mist can create some of the most atmospheric proposal photographs. I always come prepared for all weathers.
Will you share the photos on social media?
Never without your explicit permission. I will always ask before publishing or sharing any images — many couples prefer to keep their proposal photos private, and I completely respect that.
Can we do portraits after the proposal?
Yes — and I highly recommend it. Those first moments after a yes, walking hand in hand as a newly engaged couple, make some of the most beautiful photographs of the whole day. The Full Story package includes this.

Ready to plan the moment?

Tell me your date, your location idea, and a little about your partner. I'll take care of everything else — so you can focus on the question.
