Ethereal Moments Art

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.

Helen Joy Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Valle Crucis, NC

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 loved working with Helen Joy, and I highly recommend her for any event. Her wedding photography was lovely, she did a great job getting the ‘formal’ portraits of family and the bridal party. But my favorite pictures were the candid moments I didn’t think to capture, she has an eye for special moments that I didn’t recognize at the time but are now my favorite pictures.

Let us share our special place with you…Tucked away on a mountain top is Winter Wood Farm. Come visit and you’ll find a gorgeous barn full of elegant touches with stunning views of graceful rolling hills, the majestic Blue Ridge mountains, and the historic New River. It’s the perfect backdrop for the wedding of your dreams… A day at the farm is soothing to the soul, which is just what every couple needs… and your guests will enjoy this beautiful experience too.

We were married at Winter Wood Farm and it was absolutely gorgeous. The owners were amazing and made us feel like we were a part of their family from the moment we booked our wedding date. Honestly, we could not be more pleased with the venue. The owners are filled with so much wedding knowledge, and they include SO MUCH at no extra cost. They provided a list of recommended vendors and lodging options nearby which was great for us, because we are not local to the area. They are quick to respond to texts and calls and always eased my mind. The bridal suite and grooms lounge were so convenient to have right on site. The family works incredibly hard to maintain the landscaping and the interior of the venue. It is so tastefully though-out, well-maintained, and very clean! We could not recommend this venue more and thank the Winter Wood Farm family for making our day so special. We are so thankful we chose Winter Wood!

Unwind in private hot tubs, gather around the Fire Pavilion, or find quiet moments under pergolas. At Serenity Ridge, we're here to create a genuine and heartfelt setting for your love story, a place where your love shines brightest.

The Serenity Ridge team was amazing on our special day! We got married just a week after Hurricane Helene hit, and we were devastated thinking our wedding might not happen or be what we had envisioned. Haley, Elliot, Jordan, and Katie went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, from finding propane tanks to securing the food we needed and staying in constant communication with us. By the grace of God, the power came back two days before the wedding, but Serenity Ridge was prepared even if it hadn’t. The day turned out to be everything we dreamed of and more. We cannot thank the team enough for their hospitality, communication, and kindness throughout the process. Not to mention, the venue itself was beautiful—stunning mountain views, delicious breakfast-for-dinner catering, and cute furniture made it all even more perfect. We highly recommend Serenity Ridge for anyone looking for the perfect venue for their big day!

We easily chose Shack Photo and Film for our wedding day. Their communication style was open, continuous, kind, and mindful throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was superior, first-rate, excellent, and of the highest quality - truly exemplary. They captured our wedding day beautifully on both video and photography, and made my husband, who is not a fan of photos, feel so comfortable. Their documentary style allowed us to revisit the genuine, authentic moments that we will forever hold dearly. We are so grateful to Shack Photo and Film for helping to make our special day perfect.

Scott with Big R Orchards is phenomenal! He is a joy to work with - professional, positive energy, incredibly kind and gets the job done! He was very responsive and answered all of my many questions throughout the planning process. He also gladly accommodated a few last minute set up changes. Scott was extremely helpful during the ceremony, carting us across the property to get to our spots for ceremony and golden hour. The property itself is beautiful and well-maintained. We had a fall wedding and the trees were just gorgeous! The tables, chairs and decore that he provided were exactly as described. The venue structure is awesome and the recent upgrades really elevated the space. Scott’s space is already so beautiful that you really don’t need much in terms of decore. If you are looking for an outdoor wedding venue with natural beauty that won’t break the bank, look no further. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue, owner or crew to work with!

Hi. I’m Emily. Mother, wife, and baker. I was diagnosed with psoriasis over 8 years ago shortly before discovering my husband could not tolerate any grains. While this time was rather difficult attempting to maneuver life with “dietary restrictions,” it was also a pivotal moment where I decided to continue making all the things I love (yes I have a sweet tooth). I embarked on an 8 year journey trying all the flours and substitutes in all my cherished recipes. I have found what works without compromising taste and texture. Fast forward three kids later who also deal with dairy, nut and gluten intolerances and I think I have found what works.

If you're looking for a gluten free baker in NC, chose Choice Cakes!!! My fiancé and I are so grateful to have found Emily to create our wedding cake! She is the best of the best and takes food allergies very seriously. Her gluten free s'mores cake is truly out of this world. It has been a week since our special day, and we still have guests reaching out to us about it. We had a very specific design in mind for our cake, and she was able to execute it perfectly; it was so elegant! In addition to our cake, Emily also made us lavender lemon macrons for our wedding day... we can't wait to be in NC just to order more. Her communication and kindness are also wonderful. Thank you so much, Emily! You really made our day even more magical.

Are all brides that anxious on their wedding day? I certainly was! In addition to “typical wedding jitters” my dress hadn’t come back perfect from the seamstress… I was a wreck. I worried about how the photos would come out even with the best photographer. Andrea was amazing. Most of the time I didn’t know she was there. She got the best and most candid shots without any distraction (she must be part ninja). Andrea also got all of the wedding shots I’d requested through communication before the wedding and also had fun ideas that I wouldn’t have thought of. I received my photos within weeks of the wedding and I was amazed at how beautiful they turned out! The photos tell a story of a beautiful day and don’t even show a hint of the worries I had behind the scenes. I would recommend Andrea Coon photography without any reservation!

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!

A fairytale setting, Smithmore Castle offers majestic architecture and breathtaking views. The venue's grand ballrooms and lush gardens provide an opulent backdrop, while the dedicated staff ensures a seamless and memorable wedding experience for couples seeking a regal celebration.

I had the immense pleasure of getting married at Smithmore Castle during the enchanting winter season, and I can confidently say it was a truly magical experience deserving of a full five stars. From the moment we arrived, the castle exuded an air of timeless elegance and charm, wrapped in a pristine blanket of snow that made the entire setting feel like a fairy tale. The grandeur of Smithmore Castle is matched only by the warmth and professionalism of the staff. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, allowing us to focus on celebrating our love. The ceremony took place in the castle's stunning great hall, which was beautifully adorned with winter-themed decorations. The roaring fireplace added a cozy ambiance, making the atmosphere both romantic and intimate. The castle’s historic architecture provided a breathtaking backdrop for our vows, creating memories that we will cherish forever. Our reception was equally spectacular. The dining experience was exceptional, with a gourmet menu that delighted all of our guests. The castle’s chef crafted a winter feast that was both elegant and delicious, catering to all dietary preferences with ease. The staff's attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the meal, from the beautifully set tables to the exquisite presentation of each dish. The accommodations at Smithmore Castle are nothing short of luxurious. Our bridal suite was a haven of comfort and style, offering stunning views of the snow-covered grounds. Our guests were equally impressed with their rooms, each uniquely decorated and equipped with modern amenities while maintaining the castle’s historic charm.

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 was great. We didn’t have to worry about missing anything. Pictures are perfect and her simple touch was perfection.

We are Adam and Paige, your bartending couple who loves couples! We met 3 years ago while working at a restaurant in small-town Shelby, NC! 8 months ago we welcomed a lovely baby girl into our blended family. We started our business because we wanted to be apart of your special day-whether it’s to bring the party, to start up the dance floor or just to make things a little less stressful, we are here for it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Paige and Adam were great to work with! This was the first time I had the opportunity to work with them, and I can't wait to work with them again in the future. The venue didn't have a designated bar, so we were going to use standard folding tables, but the morning of the wedding, Paige asked if they could bring their mobile bar. It looked AMAZING and was a wonderful surprise for the couple! They had the best custom drinks I've had at a wedding, and I went home and told my husband that I was bummed we didn't know about them we got married because we absolutely would have hired them. As a wedding coordinator, I highly recommend!

Our mother-daughter team specializes in creating currated floral designs that realize the beauty of the event as you envision it. We consider it our joy to help you achieve your unique wedding - making it a reflection of you and your story. Our style is very naturalistic and derives its inspiration from the beauty of the mountains and the soft, graceful lines found in nature. ​We believe that flowers should speak to your heart, kindle a sentiment, and awaken a beloved memory.

Hannah and her team are the essence of professionalism. Kind, courteous, and easy to work with, not to mention incredibly talented. Golden Thistle's designs are anything but ordinary, yet exude classic bridal beauty all the same. Not only have I recommended their services to countless brides as a wedding planner, but I have also used Hannah's beautiful designs for myself. This team values sustainability and uses local blooms often, hand dyed ribbons, and minimal floral foam. From the tiniest boutonnière with blueberries picked from her own garden to the largest Moongate arbor, Hannah and her team ensure every bloom is perfect and bursting with character. Working with Hannah is to begin as a client and end as a friend, and I couldn't recommend her enough.
