My name is Wioletta, but you can call me Viola. I am a professional photographer based in the mountains of North Carolina where I reside with my three children, partner, a Great Pyrenees dog and a Siamese cat. I have a degree in Visual Art, but I have been fascinated by photography since I was 14 years old. I moved to the United States from Poland when I was just 16. I created my first photography business in 2010 where I shot moody and aesthetic self-portraits that I later sold as prints. I also designed logos and CD covers for bands. I created my wedding business, Ethereal Moments Art, in 2018 and ever since it has continued to grow.

Hi, I'm Devin, the photographer behind Crafted Nuance Photography. Based in the Hickory, North Carolina area, I serve couples throughout Western North Carolina, Charlotte, Lake Norman, the High Country, and beyond. My work combines documentary storytelling with a fine art perspective. I believe every couple deserves to have their story documented with care, respect, and intention. In addition to photographing weddings, my fine art work has been exhibited in galleries, shaping the artistic approach I bring to every celebration I'm honored to document.

“Devin was an absolute joy to work with and made us (the wedding couple) feel so much more comfortable and confident throughout the day. It was clear through the way he interacted with us that he was invested in making our wedding day go well, and offered plenty of encouragement through the first look and couples photo session, as well as even giving us a preview of the shots he had taken through the day. His work is awesome, and shows care and sensitivity to the environment he is working in. Looking through the shots we received (which was much more than anticipated), it’s evident he was moving around a lot, but impressively remained unnoticed while the ceremony was going on. And he put in the time after the wedding to make sure that we received the photos with the shortest of wait times. Ultimately, Devin showcases his skills in consideration and genuine desire to provide for his clients, though now, through this experience, I’d say we are friends! Thoroughly satisfied with Crafted Nuance Photography!!”

My philosophy is simple... I am here to tell the story of the day you married the love of your life. I want to document the excitement of you getting ready with your best friends, the look on your mother's face when she sees you in your dress for the first time, and the tears your father cries during the father - daughter dance, and that "Oh my God, we are really married?!" look of joy on your faces as you walk down the aisle as a married couple for the first time. I will pose you and guide you when necessary, but I believe when you are focusing on each other and really soaking in those moments --- that's when the magic happens.

“Megan was the best photographer we could have ever asked for! She captured every aspect of our wedding day from start to finish. She was on time, communicative, and sent the pictures back in a timely manner. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and helped pose us when need. She also created our wedding album that came out beautifully!”

“Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it.

I'm Ali, a wedding photographer based in North Carolina with over 10 years of experience capturing the unique stories of wonderful couples. Finding a photographer whose work you truly love is essential, but it's equally important to choose someone who will bring out your best and make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I strive to do just that and would love the opportunity to be part of your special day!

“From our first call, I knew Ali was the photographer we needed (seriously think we booked within 24 hours). We immediately felt comfortable with her as if we were talking to a friend and, as two people who tend to be awkward in front of a camera, this went a long way. During our engagement shoot, she helped find poses that worked naturally, made us laugh during the cheesy shots that turned into our favorite pictures, and brought my Pinterest dreams to life (we had the same pics pinned so it was meant to be). Not to mention she was even sweeter in person. On our wedding day Ali jumped straight into it seamlessly. She’s easy to be around and brings a calming presence no matter what’s going on around her (calling her the calm in the storm would be an understatement). She captured every moment perfectly and had our best interest at her forefront the entire day. She even found excuses to give me a pause if she noticed I was getting nervous or seemed overwhelmed (I never told her I noticed she did that for me but it was so appreciated). After the ceremony, she knew exactly how to wrangle in our families and wedding party, and somehow managed to capture the best photos in record-breaking time. This is getting long so I’ll wrap it up, but if you’re anything like me and you’re indecisive or worried about making the right vendor choices, trust that you won’t regret this one. I could go on and on but, long story short, we’ll be forever grateful we chose Ali!!”

I'm a filmmaker and photographer who believes every couple has a story worth telling, not just documenting. My background in directing films has shaped the way I approach weddings, focusing on genuine emotions, meaningful moments, and timeless imagery instead of staged poses. Every wedding is unique, and my goal is to create photographs and films that let you relive the feeling of your day for years to come. I pay close attention to light, composition, and the small moments that often go unnoticed, because those are the memories that become priceless over time.

“Alvaro’s team are beyond talented! We did a photo shot with my sister who is pregnant and the pictures came out so good, better than what we expected. He is so professional and we honestly couldn’t have a better team to capture this moment. I 100% recommend him.”

Hi, I’m Angelina, the photographer behind Angelina Vazquez Photography, based in the Charlotte, NC area. I photograph weddings and engagements with a bright, refined, romantic, and true-to-life approach. I’m drawn to genuine emotion, beautiful light, and those little in-between moments that make your wedding day feel completely your own. My faith is at the center of my life and business, and I believe every love story is God-written. It’s such an honor to preserve the beginning of a marriage with care, intention, and heart.
