    Amazing eye for detail and Wonderful Person!

    Viviana was an absolute dream to work with. Her calming energy was just what we needed on wedding day, and her artistic eye and photography skills are amazing. She is not only an amazing wedding photographer, but covers a wide variety of events as well. We are so happy we met her and are in love with our photos from our special day.

    Spring Wedding in Brooklyn

    Viviana and Liz photographed our wedding in Brooklyn and we couldn’t have been happier with their work. We planned our wedding ourselves and from the start Viviana was attentive and supportive and helped in solving many of our day-of logistics. On the day of the wedding, they helped us to feel comfortable taking portraits and we were amazed by how they captured the day. We would highly recommend working with Viviana and her team to anyone.

    Perfect Choice

    Viv was the perfect choice when it came to my wedding photos. She was helpful all the way through the process. She made us feel comfortable the day of as we were going through getting images done. She also was flexible when things changed in our desires for photos. The images we got we perfection! When it came down to our wedding album she helped create something we will cherish for ever. Couldn't say anything bad about the service we got when working with Viv.

    Fantastic!

    My fiancee and I worked with Viv for our engagement photos, and we could not be happier with the pictures! Viv did a great job of making us comfortable and talking us through what to do and how to stand. She was so much fun to work with, I can't recommend her enough!

    Vendor Match Made in Heaven!

    Viviana was an absolute dream to work with! Her communication, organization and attention to detail leading up to our event was topnotch. Her energy the day of our wedding was so calm yet assertive when directing our family members around for portrait shots. We completely trusted her vision and knew she would capture all the emotions on our day! If we could give her a 10 star rating we would and highly recommend to other couples in a heartbeat!!

    Love our photos & Love working with Viviana!

    Choosing Viviana as our photographer was hands down the best choice we made for our wedding. From our first chat, she made me feel extremely comfortable. Viviana was super flexible with the timeline and we were able to change things literally days before the wedding. I have to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of pictures of myself but look back at the pictures Viviana took just brings me back to how beautiful I felt and how happy the day was. Our family also felt comfortable with her and she was a pleasure to work with. She sent a small sneak peek the night of our wedding and got us the whole album fast! We were so happy to work with Viviana and I would highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend her!

    Absolutely Fantastic

    Problem: Do you have a somewhat introversive spouse who isn't exactly photogenic on command, who could in turn give you a life time of awkward wedding photos?

    Solution: Viviana Podhaiski.

    Yes I am that Problem Person described above. Not only was Viviana our wonderful wedding photographer, she's apparently a psychologist who made this introvert a little extro for the day.

    I cannot recommend her enough. The photos we received were beyond expectation, she's incredible to work with, and just a genuinely nice person. Her communication before, during, and after the wedding was fast and clear.

    On a day you are surrounding yourself with loved ones to have someone like Viviana there to capture it all seems natural.

    Viviana Podhaiski Photography's reply:

    These words... they made me smile so much. Thank you for leaving such kind words and had no clue at all about the camera shyness. Your wedding was a blast and one I will remember for a long time. Thank you my friends!

    Beautiful photos to cherish

    Being a covid wedding couple, we had rescheduled and postponed a number of times. We finally decided to do a minimony and make it official. Viviana was an absolute gem! She was even flexible when we had to reschedule our ceremony twice! She was kind, knowledgeable and patient with us! We’ve never had photos taken professionally before and we were terribly awkward but Viviana was so helpful and gave some really great pointers while shooting. Our photos came out beautiful and are everything we hoped they would be!

    Viviana’s work is amazing!!

    Norik and I could not be happier with Viviana! We stressed about finding the right photographer knowing how important wedding photos are! We had the best day of our lives and Viviana was able to capture it all during a very HOT September day in Georgia! Haha. Viviana did such a great job capturing so many great moments that were important to us and beyond! She made the entire signup process fun & stress free! Seriously, she is very thorough, organized and knows what an awesome photo should look like. We are so happy and thankful Viviana was available and willing to drive to GA for our big day. We are 110% happy with Viviana’s work! -Norik & Jenny Vardanian

    THE BEST! Professional, genuine and talented beyond measure!

    Viv was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is an incredibly sweet human who puts so much love into her work. I was blown away by her kindness, excitement and detail to her work. She was very professional and I love that she wanted to be a great match for the job before accepting it. Her photos speak for themselves... breathtaking. She is extremely talented, I suggest hiring her NOW before she is booked up, you will not regret it!!!

    Natural, Beautiful Candid Shots

    I loved having my picture taken as a kid but as an adult, it doesn't come as naturally. Viv made us feel so comfortable at our photo session which made our pictures even more natural. We loved our candid shots!

    Magical and special!

    It was so cold outside when my wife and I were doing the photo shoot, but Vivian made it so fun and special that we couldn’t think about anything else but each other. She’s a very talented, professional, and unique photographer. Highly
    Recommend.

    Beyond words!

    We had the pleasure of using Viviana for our engagement photos as well as our reception photos. I’m not sure where to begin! Viviana is more then just a photographer to us. She has captured the most important moments of our lives in a unique and genuine way. She has the ability to make and photo session feel like a day with friends. She is so personally investigated in her job and the quality is work she provides is incredible. We will use Viviana for every important event we ever have.

    Absolutely Amazing

    I could not possibly put into words how amazing Viviana was during our wedding. She was so flexible and was able to roll with the changes of the day so effortlessly. She captures our special day beautifully and has such an eye for detail. She somehow even got my two year old to agree to wear his suit !!! My pictures (the sneak peak I’ve seen so far) are STUNNING and look like they belong in a bridal magazine. I could not be happier with my decision to pick Viviana for my special day !

    Viviana Podhaiski Photography's reply:

    Thank you for these beautiful words, and thank you for having me be a part of your wedding day! xoxo

    Perfect Wedding Photography

    Choosing a photographer is always hard, it is even more nerve racking when choosing your wedding photographer. That wasn’t the case when we met and connected with Viviana. Viviana from the start was able to put us at ease and was incredibly welcoming. She was very open and helpful as we navigated the planning process.

    During the day of our wedding we felt like we were in safe and good hands. We didn’t feel like we had to act a certain way or pose in an inauthentic manner. We felt at ease and like our true selves throughout. Viviana’s approach and warmth helped us be our true selves and embrace the day to its fullest.

    When we received the photos we were thrilled about how they all came out. We loved that each picture captured a special moment on our special day. Whether that was at our first look, ceremony, or when we hit the dance floor. We included pictures to our friends along with our thank you notes.

    It was an absolute pleasure to partner with Viviana on our wedding day photography. We highly recommend her and her work for your wedding!

    We made the right choice!

    We were so very lucky to find Viviana because she was everything we were looking for in a wedding photographer. She was easy to make contact with, responsive, efficient, helpful, low key and just a lovely person. She was upfront about the packages and pricing and flexible with options while upfront with anything that was not possible. Most of all- her photos are sublime! I generally don’t love myself in photos but she captures the moments not just the face in such a special way that I just swoon every time I look at the photos. And the reaction from everyone that sees them is equally as bright.
