"Anna & Vitaly are such an amazing team to work with. We booked them because we loved the way they capture candid scenes and detailed shots. From our first meeting, we could tell they are incredibly professional, experienced and meticulous.
We ended up having a rainy wedding day, but nothing about the day felt dampened. Anna & Vitaly brought along a clear umbrella and a plan to make the best of the weather. They made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and their verbal cues made it easy for us to pose naturally without feeling awkward.
Within days of the wedding, they sent us a sneak peek. All of the images were SO stunning and artistic. We are so thankful to have Anna & Vitaly be part of our big day and can’t recommend them enough!''

THE REAL FACES
OF PURITY WEDDINGS
We’re Anna and Vitaly Podoliak, born and raised in the cold climate of Siberia. Our love for capturing beautiful, touching, and powerful love stories is what brought us to LA seven years ago, but before we talk about that, we’d like to tell you our story.
We met in Prague at the age of 16 just as two regular travelers who had no idea that we were from the same city. Something definitely clicked because we began dating once we got back to our hometown. A year later, we even attended university together.
While pursuing our Bachelor of Arts degrees, we took an interest in visual art. Anna had attended painting classes as a child and got interested in photography while Vitaly’s interest was drawn towards filming, having been influenced by playing music. After graduation, we both worked in the fashion industry.
A few years and friends' weddings later, we finally found our passion in wedding visuals, which combined all the things we loved: beauty, true emotions and stories that evoke raw feelings. Our style of wedding photography and videography is a modern and sophisticated fine-art for authentic and self-confident couples.
We prioritize real emotions and unrepeatable moments while also paying careful attention to the finer details of the wedding day. We draw inspiration from classic fine art wedding visuals, fashion editorials, journalism, 50'60'70's vintage romantic pictures, and modern cinematography. Besides this, the love stories of our couples never fail to inspire us.
We’re both 31 years old and currently live in LA, where we’re happy parents to 2 fur kids – 2 cats. We brought 1 of our cats to LA all the way from our hometown and found the other on the streets of DTLA.
We’re calm and pensive people in real life, but see us at a shoot, and you'll find us smiling, fully energized and radiant. We love and admire what we do, the benefits of which get translated into our work.
"I loved every single picture from our wedding. I love colors and all the moments that are so real so us. There is nothing fake and all these memories we have created is thanks to Purity weddings team. They are invisible and they are everywhere. They capture every essential moment that you need to remember. Love you. Great team.''
