Betty Bhandari - Wedding Photography & Surprise Engagement Proposals

Betty Bhandari is a Bath-based, award-winning wedding photographer who specialises in candid, creative documentary wedding photography. Since 2012 she has photographed hundreds of weddings across Bath and the South‑West, building a reputation for capturing the small, unscripted moments that carry the real feeling of a day — the laughter, the tears, furtive glances and the fleeting reunions that make each wedding unmistakably yours. Why choose Betty? Her background as an architect gives her a quietly meticulous eye for composition and light, while her warm, friendly manner puts couples and families at ease. Betty describes her approach as focused so you don’t have to be: she blends into the day, making minimal interference so you can relax and be present. Her documentary style means she’s always alert to genuine interactions, yet she’s organised and professional — planning conversations, helpful timings advice and thoughtful direction when natural portrait moments are needed. How she works: Betty believes good photography comes from trust and preparation. Early conversations — phone or video — let her understand your priorities, while on-the-day calm and unobtrusive coverage lets your story unfold. She uses the best cameras and lenses (a committed Nikon user) and combines an observant, patient approach with a playful energy that helps even camera-shy guests feel comfortable. For couples who want it, engagement and surprise‑proposal photography are available as a natural compliment to wedding coverage, capturing the lead-up to the big day in the same honest style. Betty loves Bath. She knows the city’s Georgian streets, Abbey and garden spaces intimately and uses them to create timeless portraits that sit beautifully alongside spontaneous reportage. Her images aim to be warm, authentic and creative — photographs you’ll want to return to again and again. Beyond the wedding day, Betty supports couples with beautiful ways to enjoy their images, from private online galleries to heirloom wedding albums. Above all she is driven by telling real stories: a confident, organised photographer with a sensitive, human approach who will help you feel relaxed, looked after and able to enjoy every moment of your wedding day.
