Pasha | Photographer
Hello there, I am Pasha and I started Plugovoy Photography in 2011. I am a simple person with an artistic and creative background. I attended an art school in Charlotte, North Carolina where I obtained my graphic design degree. North Carolina is also where I met the love of my life - Olga. I am so lucky to have married such a creative person who shares my passion for Arts. I love vintage cars, long road trips (my wife hates them), war propaganda art/posters, anything Art Deco and mix tapes. Who else still listens to mix tapes in their car? This guy! I also enjoy working with wood (a lot). I have traveled all over but Rhody is my home. To the two awesome girls Fiona Piper & Penelope Jane, I am a father and a friend and they mean the world to me. I hope you enjoyed getting to know me a little. Ciao
Mark | Photographer
Photography has been a bridge for people to see through my eyes. My name is Mark, I'm constantly composing photographs in my mind as I walk around in everyday life. Ever since I picked up a camera, I've wanted to try more and more crazy things. I stay out in the cold photographing snowflakes, or in the rain to get the perfect lightning strike. I climb to the top or lay on the ground next to puddles for a different perspective. I've made large torches to photograph fire, I go where others don't feel comfortable going. I run and jump, and sometimes stay extremely still so I get the shot exactly how I envisioned it. I've been published by National Geographic, local magazines and wedding magazines and I strive to learn more everyday.
Olesya | Photographer & Photo Booth Operator
My name is Olesya. I moved from Ukraine to the U.S. when I was three years old and am fluent in Ukrainian, Russian, and English. Have a slight obsession with Italy and the Italian language as well as pineapples. I have spent countless hours working with kids because what’s cuter than little humans. I’m currently working towards my B.A. in Management with a concentration in Human Resources. Twice a year I go to Belarus with a team of amazing people to spend time with the kids in some of the orphanages there. I love traveling and exploring. Whether it’s mountains, cute towns, or big cities, each place contains something magical and worth seeing. Grateful for friends who share my excitement for exploring and for cameras to help capture and remind me of the beauty and majesty. Excited to see where life will take me and where I’ll end up.
Olga | Wife & Photo Booth Operator
Hello, I’m Olga, happily married to my best friend and mama of two girls, Fiona and Penelope. My greatest blessing is being able to stay home and take care of my children. This has allowed me to dig deeper into what I enjoy doing. What really makes my soul happy. I love being able to transform any space into something beautiful, I enjoy throwing parties and decorating for events. In the recent years my love for flowers has really grown and I’m enjoying learning how to arrange bridal bouquets and centerpieces. I’m also starting a small flower garden come spring! Being a wife of a photographer has also given me the opportunity to assist where I’m needed, whether helping as an assistant, meeting clients, or tagging along for photo shoots (often with my own camera!). There’s something so amazing about seeing fairytales come true and I’m glad I get to be a part of something so beautiful.
