Our photographer was Tyler and he was absolutely amazing! He was so kind and fun to work with. He made our wedding day even more special! We are obsessed with the wedding shots he took! We have all the photos we wanted and requested, plus some we love that we wouldn't have even known to ask for. They are all beautiful and super clear! It was very affordable and well worth the price!

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.

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.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

These moments on your forever day are to be cherished in time, my goal is to capture all of these moments timelessly with you by my side in awe! I’m very excited to start our adventure together. Your unique style. What makes you come alive. What you hope to share with the world. That's what you want in your wedding photos.

Working with Hannah as our wedding photographer was an absolute dream! She not only captured our big day on November 9, 2024, but also went above and beyond throughout the entire process. She even coordinated having KJ from KJ Visuals as our videographer, and together, they created magic. We first worked with Hannah for our engagement shoot in Western NC. It rained that day, and while the photos were beautiful, she knew it wasn’t exactly what I had envisioned. On the day of my makeup trial, she went out of her way to schedule a redo session, and the results were stunning—exactly what I had hoped for! On the wedding day, Hannah completely outdid herself. The sneak peeks she delivered less than four days later were breathtaking, and KJ’s video trailer came within a week, leaving us speechless. Both were incredibly talented and captured the essence of our day perfectly. Hannah’s ability to plan, adapt, and execute is unmatched. Her eye for detail and creativity shone through in every shot. Working with her felt like working with a friend—she made the experience fun, stress-free, and comfortable. I wholeheartedly recommend trusting her suggestions and vision because she truly knows how to deliver. I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos and the full video, but based on what we’ve seen so far, I know they’ll be extraordinary. Hannah and KJ were an amazing team, and I’m so glad we had them to document our wedding!
