About

Hi there,

I'm Ania, and I've spent the last decade immersed in the world of photography. My journey has led me to specialize in wine, food and portrait photography, collaborating with various magazines and seeing my work come to life in print.

What fuels my passion is capturing genuine emotions on people's faces, which seamlessly guided me into the realm of wedding photography. My images embody a candid and authentic essence, and I have a particular fondness for chasing after the beauty of natural light.

If my photography style resonates with you, I'd love to connect! Feel free to reach out, and let's create something beautiful together.

Ania made our day perfect

Having Ania photograph our wedding day was one of the best decisions we could've made. She was so helpful with every step of preparation, from helping us decide on locations to use (we were having a London wedding), plotting out excellent backup plans for weather-related issues (Jan wedding = strong chance of rain!), making mood boards with the kind of images we liked to help shape the style of the photos and making sure she knew every possible combination of guest photos we wanted to get.

The best part though was just having her on the day, she is so fun and friendly, making us feel completely at ease and actually ENJOY being photographed. She is also incredibly professional and assertive, meaning if anyone was in shot that shouldn't be she'd politely move them along (we did most of our photography in busy London locations but no tourists or tube travellers bothered us thanks to Ania!).

We are over the moon with the photos Ania took. They are everything we wanted and so much more. I can't recommend her highly enough.

An absolutely fantastic wedding photographer

Ania was an absolute joy to have as our wedding photographer!

Ania completely understood the style of photography we were seeking and the results were absolutely beautiful! She was very organized and ensured that we had everything in place for the photography.

Ania moved throughout the guests subtly, and considerately and took such beautiful candid photographs throughout the ceremony and reception. She captured so many incredibly special moments, without us even realizing!

I cannot recommend Ania enough for her beautiful photography skills, calm and happy energy and professional structure both preparing for the wedding and on the day.
