Ethereal Moments Art 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Shelby, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

I hosted my business’s 10-year anniversary customer appreciation party at Creekside Farm, and I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect venue. Megan has truly created something special in Bostic. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail—from the beautifully maintained landscaping to the thoughtfully curated indoor and outdoor spaces—had been designed with care and intention. The barn itself is stunning, with both climate-controlled comfort and expansive outdoor areas that make the most of North Carolina’s natural beauty. Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, or celebration of any kind, Creekside Farm is the ideal setting. Our event was a smashing success, and much of that is thanks to Megan’s expertise. She is a true professional—detail-oriented, prompt, and incredibly organized. Every aspect of the venue was taken care of seamlessly, allowing us to focus entirely on our guests and the celebration. We also chose to hire some of Megan’s event staff, and it was absolutely worth it. Having an experienced, capable team ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Megan wears many hats, and somehow she manages to excel in all of them. She is not just a venue owner—she is a dedicated partner in making events truly memorable. Her upbeat energy, professionalism, and passion for ensuring our event’s success made working with her an absolute pleasure. If you’re looking for a venue that is both breathtaking and run by someone who genuinely cares about your experience, look no further than Creekside Farm. It’s a hidden gem, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

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.

I am a native of WNC and love living in this beautiful area. I live in a tiny home in Lake Lure NC with my husband, dog and cat. I enjoy hiking, paddle boarding on the lake and traveling. I am a self-help junkie and am always in pursuit of my best me. I love people and love making genuine connections and new friendships.

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!

Tucked away on a hundred-acre stretch of land, one mile outside Elkin city limits, Klondike Cabins offers a secluded escape. Original wood beams and early American antiques welcome guests to experience life a little simpler. Surrounded by 60-acres of vineyards, a 2-acre fishing pond, and a walking trail winding alongside the Grassy Creek, days can be filled with discovering what the Appalachian nature has to offer, or cozied up with a book or game of chess next to a roaring fire in the original 1920’s hearths.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Unique barn setting
  • Accommodates more than 200 guests
  • Historic touches

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Limited cleanup and setup services
  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
Communication with Danna was incredible from start to finish. She always responded quickly, answered all of our questions, and was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. The space itself is stunning—the wooded area with the lake backdrop was the perfect setting for our ceremony. One of the things that made our experience extra special was having our wedding party stay in the cabins for the entire weekend. Everything was set up and ready for our guests, and we were able to use all the kitchenware and amenities, which made hosting so easy. Having access to the entire property truly set Klondike Cabins apart, especially since so many venues don’t offer that—let alone at such a great price. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to celebrate at Klondike Cabins. The beauty of the grounds combined with the time spent surrounded by our closest friends and family made it all unforgettable.
