Ania Haponiuk Photography

I’m Ania — a Hawarden-based wedding photographer who believes wedding photography should be about memory keeping, honest emotion and timeless storytelling. I specialise in wedding and engagement photography across Hawarden, North Wales and nearby Chester, bringing a calm, personalised approach that helps couples feel relaxed on their wedding day. My style is natural, colourful and timeless with a strong appreciation for black-and-white fine-art portraits. I look for connection and authentic moments rather than forcing poses. Whether it’s an intimate ceremony, a joyful reception or a quiet bridal portrait, I aim to capture the moments that matter: the laughter, the small gestures, the atmosphere and the details that make your day unique. Why choose me as your wedding day photographer? I focus on crafting professional wedding photos that tell your story, working with sensitivity and experience to blend documentary coverage with considered portraits. My memory-keeping sessions are designed to put you at ease — I gently guide couples and families so you can be present and enjoy the day while I capture it. The result is a collection of images that feel both real and beautifully composed. The process is simple and client-centred. From our first conversation I’ll listen to what matters most to you — the people, the places and the moments you want to preserve. I tailor the session to your day, combining unobtrusive reportage with short, relaxed portrait time. I value clear communication, a calm atmosphere and delivering professional wedding photos that you’ll return to again and again. Although weddings are my core focus, I also bring experience in portrait, family and commercial photography — skills that enhance how I see light, composition and the small details on a wedding day. Every wedding I photograph is treated with care and the same memory-keeping philosophy: to preserve the emotion and story of your celebration. If you’re planning your wedding in Hawarden or across North Wales and want a wedding photographer who prioritises authentic moments and timeless imagery, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s create photos that become part of your family’s story.
