About

Hey, I'm Viviana; it's nice to meet you. I'm a wedding photographer based in the Hudson Valley, New York area, serving the Catskills, Poughkeepsie, and Westchester County area.

My approach to photographing weddings:

It’s finding the interesting, the details, and pockets of light. I believe in minimalism when it comes to photography. Some flash and artistic light are used when needed, but you won’t find me bringing mega-light modifiers.

My ideal couples are looking for something different for their wedding photos. They can appreciate the formal portraits but also look forward to being with one another, dancing, and letting the day be. Documenting is where my work lives.

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.

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.

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.

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 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’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

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!

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.

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!!!
