Ethereal Moments Art 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Vilas, 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 amazing to work with from start to finish and worth every penny. The theme of our May wedding was romantic, storybook/fairytale with lots of mauves, olive and sage colors and we wanted a photographer with an ethereal, intimate, candid style to match. We found Ethereal Moments Art by searching on the Knot. The first "difference-maker" is that the Ethereal Moments Art's website is upfront and transparent about pricing, day-of-timeline and process, which many photographers don't discuss in such detail right away. We were able to clearly envision working together. Plus, we could immediately make a decision to engage based on one of our highest priorities in vendor selection--budget. After an initial call and agreement, we had an engagement shoot. Wioletta suggested a time and place near us that captured our desire for a candid shoot in nature. We had not had a formal photoshoot done before, and Wioletta was professional, patient when we ran into traffic, gave helpful direction, made us feel comfortable, and took charge to capture us while the sun was going down and we were super sweaty! You can't tell at all in the final photos, either - it was a great way to get to know Wioletta and establish trust before the big day. Wioletta helped ease our minds and prepare us for the wedding day by asking for a list of photos that we wanted to have such as locations during first look, family portraits, etc. She and her shooting partner were on time and started working immediately. Even while the bride needed extra time due to a nervous stomach Wioletta was patient and adapted quickly, used that time to collect more photos of family and the venue. Wioletta did a fantastic job capturing all of the key moments, the beauty of the venue, family group portraits, and the candid moments shared amongst everyone having a great time. She provided a preview shortly after the wedding day, and then the whole album within her promised timeframe. Our album consists of thousands of photos(!) and we are very happy with them. Ethereal Moments Art's online platform made it easy to order prints, an heirloom photo album with USB containing all files, and a large framed version of our favorite image - the one of us sitting in the red chairs. It's hanging in our living room today. I cannot recommend Wioletta enough for your wedding and/or engagement. Overall, a pleasure to work with, responds promptly, and is a master of her craft. If you are on the fence, don't hesitate to book. Thanks again, Ethereal Moments Art! Our family will treasure your art for our entire lives.

As a long time wedding and elopement photographer, I am passionate about my couples enjoying and being present on their wedding day. I take only a handful of wedding clients a year so that I stay fresh and excited. I usually shoot about 30% classic portraiture and 70% lifestyle/photo documentary. I like to tell the story through movement and candid photos, while also taking time to create striking and timeless portraits. I edit all my photos in black and white and color, with a film finish.

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.

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.

Molly did an amazing job at capturing our special day and did so in our style as well! Her pictures turned out absolutely stunning and we could not be happier with her and her work! She shows up on time and is very organized in how she works and the pictures she takes!

Bethany Barton Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. Her communication was seamless and great, making the entire process incredibly smooth. The quality of her work was truly stunning - their photos were beautiful, light, and airy, capturing all the special moments of our day perfectly. Despite the rain, sun, and even a rainbow, Bethany and her team handled everything beautifully, and all the photos looked incredible. We worked with Bethany for our engagement photos and welcome party. Bethany herself was level-headed and easy to get along with, making our wedding day that much more special. We couldn't be happier with the memories Bethany Barton Photography has given us.

  • Serves Vilas, NC

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!

Erin and the entire OLAS team were an absolute dream from start to finish. From our very first phone call to receiving the final gallery, everyone was kind, professional, and so helpful. Erin was a calming, joyful presence all day long – giving gentle direction exactly when we needed it and somehow making us feel like total naturals in front of the camera. Every single photo is breathtaking. She captured the giggles, the happy tears, the little glances – every moment that made the day feel like pure magic. Steve and I keep saying we’ve never smiled so much in our lives, and now we get to relive it forever because Erin caught our love so perfectly. If you’re getting married: book OLAS. 10/10. Marry your best friend and let OLAS capture it. We’re obsessed and will recommend them to everyone we know! Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our wedding day even more unforgettable.

The White Fox Photography team was AMAZING for our wedding day! Both photographers were wonderful and captured the day beautifully. Their fun personalities eased the nerves that typically come with wedding days and group photos - they helped us pose (which was so helpful as a couple of awkward non-photo people), captured perfect candids with all of our guests, and made sure to get photos of our decor, venue, dress, etc. for the perfect wedding day photo album. We were initially worried about quality given how affordable their packages were, but they truly just want to provide the best service as a family- and veteran-owned company without making couples break the bank. We chose the documentary editing style and loved the quality of the photos. Also, they gave us SO many edited photos (500) with a full album in less than 30 days after the wedding. I cannot recommend their team enough!

These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

I’ve known Ali outside of her photography career and when I was starting to plan out things for my wedding I didn’t hesitate to reach to her for her to be my photographer/wedding helper. Her personality and work ethic spoke for themselves. I hadn’t seen her photography work before booking with her, and that’s how much trust I had in her and her expertise as a wedding photographer. Our engagement shoot with her was flawless and her patience was greatly appreciated. We had no idea what to expect but her many years of photography experience definitely helped our nervous jitters. She cued us on specific positions and things to talk about so that she could capture the perfect moments. Oh and she was great with the fur babies, they were doing their best but she helped us out with their quirks. 10/10 recommend Ali for your photography needs…I’m very excited for our wedding day!
