Ethereal Moments Art 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • 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.

Ethereal Moments Art was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day. Their communication was always timely, detailed, and showed a clear attention to detail. 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.

Hi, I'm Allison- a mom of two, huge animal lover (mom to six fur babies), and most importantly a hopeless romantic with a passion for capturing your love story and perfectly curating it.

I take a personal interest in your wedding day and aim to make it as stress free as possible. I want you to know you are in good hands and I will do whatever it takes to make your wedding dreams a reality.

Allison Wilson Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the moment we spoke with Allison, we were impressed by her prompt, personable communication style.

Allison went above and beyond, making my husband and I - who aren't big picture takers - feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. We could not have asked for a better photographer to document our wedding. Allison's hard work and attention to detail ensured we have a stunning collection of photos that we will cherish forever.

Helen Joy Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Shelby, 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.

Helen Joy took our wedding pictures and they turned out amazing! We had an outdoor ceremony and she took some incredible photos, both organic shots and poses with the wedding party and family. She was great to work with, professional, and reasonably priced. We received our prints quickly afterward also. The entire experience with Helen Joy was an absolute pleasure!

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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!

I'm Bethany - a portrait & wedding photographer based in Boone, North Carolina. I'm married to my best friend, Scott, I'm Mama to two sweet boys, and my family is the heartbeat behind my work. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me kicking my shoes off at Bass Lake, knee deep in home renovations, sewing a new pattern, or searching for my next favorite podcast. I celebrate true to life colors, timeless portraits, and the joy and beauty of life with those we love.

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.

Shannon Leopold Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Shelby, 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!

We had such a great experience with OLAS! Our photographer, Jasmine, was a very calming and helpful presence during the day. She was professional and patient and worked collaboratively with us and our families to adjust to our shot needs and any other minor chances. She also gave clear directions on how to pose! The photos came out really wonderful - we love the warmer tones and Jasmine captured the joy, fun, and touching moments really well. The OLAS team was very professional from beginning to end and we appreciated the level of detail through the planning process.

We needed a photographer experienced with low light photography because our ceremony was at 5pm in November. We wanted classy, romantic indoor and outdoor photos! We had ideas, but also needed professional suggestions. Ashley's edgy and moody photography paired with our more traditional-style wedding produced the most romantic photos! Intimate, secretive, vintage. My SIL found a cool lounge space for our indoor photos and Ashely quickly adjusted to this impromptu find. Ashely is very easy to communicate with and pleasant to work with.

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
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.
