VPodhaiski Photography

Hi, Thanks for reading! Here's my photography short story: 2017, after 13 years of teaching, I said goodbye to the classroom and pursued Olympic weightlifting photography- my company was Everyday Lifters. Shortly after, I launched my wedding business. The Long Version: Weightlifting has taken me to places like Turkmenistan, Germany, & across the country! The weightlifters started getting married, and along the way, I received training to advocate for diverse bodies as a photographer. During this time of transition, I started taking documenting courses through the International Center of Photography and work on documenting local stories.

MY APPROACH 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.
