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.”

Ethereal Moments Art

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Purlear, NC

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.

“Ethereal Moments Art was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day. Their communication was always timely, detailed, and showed a clear attention to detail. 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.”

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!”
