I am so very honored that you are considering me to be apart of your speical day. Choosing a wedding photographer can be one of the most important decisions you’ll make in planning your wedding. This is your Day the day you have been dreaming about your entire life. Thats why I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who makes you feel comfortable, someone who eases the craziness of a wedding day, and maybe, someone who eventually becomes a friend.

“Shannon Clark was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding day. Shannon is quick to respond and absolutely accommodating - she is determined to make you happy! She showed up with encouraging words, opinions, and advice, and was extremely patient with the obvious stress and nerves, always making sure to get the job done. Shannon has taken many more pictures for us, before and after our wedding for other events in our lives, and she has practically become family at this point. She checks in, sends sweet gifts after we got married, and is always there to help book other sessions, short notice or months in advance. We absolutely adore her.”

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.

They were extremely thoughtful in ensuring we had every picture we wanted, and the quality of their work is simply priceless. Ethereal Moments Art captured the beauty of our small mountain top wedding, including the stunning scenery and breathtaking sunset portraits. We love looking back at our wedding photos and reliving all the special moments they were able to preserve for us.”

Nothing felt awkward in the shots we posed for or in the candid ones she captured. Honestly the candid shots were absolutely amazing. She reminds me of Henri Cartier-Bresson in her ability to capture precious decisive moments of embraces, smiles and tears. We are grateful for these memories Helen captured at our wedding.”

  • Serves Cliffside, NC

The day that you exchange vows with the love of your life should one filled with peace, love, pure bliss...and a whole lot of fun! My job doesn't stop at creating timeless photos for you, it extends to offering you a sense of peace and showing you that a wedding/elopement day doesn't have to be stressful. Photography began as a passion for me and I make sure to hold on tight on to that and bring that passion into every event, every couple I photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Having Kalypso on our team as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! My husband is historically not the best at genuine looking forced smiles, yet our wedding pictures all turned out so well! Yes, he was very happy on our wedding day, but in the moment when you tell him to pose, it usually doesn't go so well. Kalypso has all sort of tricks up her sleeve to fix this, and she is such a joyous ball of energy that she has us legitimately laughing and smiling the entire time anyways. She was so easy to coordinate with, and her communication and promptness are on point. On to the most important part though - the pictures! They are AMAZING!! They perfectly capture the best day of our lives and work in all the little details so well. We are having a hard time figuring out what to frame where in our house - there are that many PERFECT pictures. It was Kalypso's first day shooting a wedding at our specific venue, and you would would think it was her own house based on how well she captured it all and worked so well in the space. I will certainly be trying to work with her for future life photoshoots and recommending her to all my friends!”

Hi, I'm EmmaLee, the photographer and videographer behind EmmaLee Rose Photo + Video! I'm passionate about capturing love stories in a way that feels genuine, emotional, and true to you. From the quiet moments while getting ready to the happy tears, laughter, and packed dance floor, I want you to be able to look back and feel your wedding day all over again. I serve couples throughout Western North Carolina, East Tennessee, and beyond, and I'd be honored to capture your love story!

“I truly cannot recommend our photographer enough! She was so laid back and easy to work with, which made such a difference on an already busy wedding day. She made us feel comfortable, never made anything feel rushed or stressful, and was willing to do anything and everything she could to help throughout the day. She also came prepared for things that had absolutely nothing to do with taking photos! One of my bridesmaids got a stain on her dress, and she immediately had a Shout wipe ready to help. A few of my bridesmaids needed bobby pins, and of course, she had those too! It felt like anytime someone needed something, she was already prepared for it. Beyond being incredibly helpful, she captured our day beautifully. She got all of the important moments while also capturing the little candid moments and emotions that we might have otherwise missed. Looking through our photos allows us to relive our wedding day all over again. You can tell she genuinely cares about her couples and wants their entire wedding day to go smoothly—not just the photography part. She was professional, prepared, kind, and such a calming presence to have around. We are so thankful we chose her and would recommend her over and over again!”

Born and raised in Southern California, I was always surrounded by vibrant culture. After moving to North Carolina, I brought my passion for photography with me, turning it into a career that has now spanned over seven years. Through the years, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless moments, but I truly fell in love with photographing weddings and portraits. Weddings allow me to document love stories in their purest form, portraits give me the chance to highlight individuality and emotion. Photography isn’t just a job for me, it’s my way of preserving memories and telling stories that last a lifetime.

I’m passionate about capturing genuine connections, real emotions, and the little moments. My approach is personal and intentional, because I believe getting to know my couples is just as important.

I want you to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for! My goal is to create timeless, creamy, moody imagery that brings you right back to how it all felt. (I have a new blog for engaged couples! Posting a new one every week! You can find it on my website straight from here!) You can connect with me via my website by tapping on the little globe under my picture directly above!

On the wedding day, she went above and beyond, making sure everyone felt comfortable in front of the camera and even helping with things like fluffing my dress.

Hi I'm Shannon, I was raised in the city of Los Angeles, but now reside in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I describe my photography approach as a "directed documentary". I love to blend more traditional money shots (the big kiss, walking down the aisle, first dances) with a photojournalistic angle that feels like natural snapshots rather than posed photos. My firm belief is that great photos can only reflect what naturally unfolds on your big day. I focus on candids, guest reactions, and photographing anything that helps tell a complete, and unique story. My goal is that anyone who looks at your gallery feels what it was like to be there.

“Shannon has impeccable talent! Her photos always tell the most beautiful stories. You can't help but do a little "happy dance" whenever she sends a gallery your way!”
