Amazing! Wioletta helped capture our extremely special day. I would highly recommend her to any couple on their special day! We are over the moon with how the photos came out.

I believe that capturing and documenting the most precious and dearest moments of one’s life is one of the greatest gifts of the modern era. I feel inspired by seizing one's individuality, connection between two lovers, and the unique identity of a family with a camera. My passion is in the real emotions, the honest moments and capturing how it all really felt. And since everyone's story is different, I know that the crucial importance lies in the raw candid moments.

The perfect photographer for you perfect day! While looking for a wedding photographer I was extremely picky about a photographer. I am not a fan of a lot of posed photos so I kn...

ew right off I wanted someone who would capture candid photos. When I came across Wioletta, I couldn’t stop admiring here work. Without knowing the other couples that she captured, you could read their love story by her photos. She checked every single box that I had while looking for a photographer! I scheduled a call with her and she went over all of the details with me. In that same conversation, I was able to confirm availability of our date and we had our photographer! Prior to our wedding, she met with my now husband and children at Asheville Botanical Gardens to capture a few photos so that we could learn each other’s style as some people are not comfortable in front of the camera. If you are a person who is not comfortable immediately, Wioletta will immediately make you feel comfortable. She is so incredibly kind and will listen to your suggestions on photos and make them happen. She really is the sweetest and most genuine person you will ever meet! I am beyond excited to see the full gallery of photos, but in the sneak peek photos she sent, I am more in love with her work than ever before!

Your search for the perfect photographer ends here! Ethereal Moments Art was amazing to work with from start to finish and worth every penny. The theme of our May wedding was roma...

ntic, 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.

Before anything else is said, just trust us and know that Violet is the right choice. We could tell that she could not only capture a couple's spirit and energy but that of their ...

friends and family as well. Immediately upon meeting her we knew she would be a great match for us. We scheduled an engagement session (highly recommend) and she took some incredible pictures. It was a great opportunity for us to get to know one another before the wedding. Violet is professional, personable, funny, badass and above all else, a true artist. I could go on and on but just look at her work and it will speak for itself better than I ever could.

Picking a wedding photographer is probably the hardest decisions of wedding planning. You want the moment to be captured and remembered forever. Wioletta stood out from the others ...

and receiving our engagement and wedding photos was like opening a gift each time. From her attention to detail, the way she made us feel at ease and the quality of her work is above anything we could have hoped for. We couldn't have asked for anything better! Truly amazing!

Wioletta was so great to work with! I was nervous about hiring a wedding photographer because I don't love getting my picture taken, but Wioletta worked with us to give us exactly ...

what we wanted. She got so many great candid photos of our wedding, and she made posing for photos easy and natural. It's obvious that she really cares about her clients' needs, and she kept communication open throughout the planning process. Also, I really appreciated the beautiful artistic touches in her photos--she always seemed to capture beautiful lighting, and took some pictures with plants in the foreground to create a cool framing effect, which we loved.

he entire process feel natural and took amazing candid style photos that truly captured the emotion, atmosphere and feeling of our big day. The entire gallery is great including the posed portraits of our family, who also loved them! Viola scouted out great spots at the location we chose to have our photos and this work shows her expertise and went a long way in the final results. We couldn't be happier with our galleries and would recommend Wioletta to anyone looking for engagement/wedding photos!
