About

On WeddingWire since 2019

Welcome! My name is Wioletta Gavrilova, but you can call me Viola, Violet or V for short. 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, but my passion for art and photography never dwindled. I created my first freelance photography business in 2010 where I mostly 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. I have experience shooting dozens of weddings annually, as well as filling my time in between with family and engagements sessions.

I have a deep love for candid moments and epic surroundings.

Ethereal- (adjective) Extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world.

Documenting the joyful and loving emotions and organic connections between you and your loved ones is what draws me to fine art and candid photography. I want to illustrate the depth and intimacy that y'all share in a timeless style. I also try to let your personalities and relationship together guide the way that I photograph you. All couples and families are unique, and I want your photos to feel and look like you.

My photography process includes some traditionally posed photographs, but I don't concentrate solely on them. They are just a formality that I want to document. The real essence of my work lies in my ability to capture organic, ethereal moments.

When decades have passed, and you look back at your album, prints, and canvases I want every glance to revoke significant feelings and memories. I want you to have something far more precious than anything else, your love, and your memories. Preserved. Forever.

Your search for the perfect wedding 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 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.

The perfect photographer for your 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 knew 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 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. 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!

Absolutely Amazing

When I was picking a photographer, I knew this was the most important part since you’ll have these memories forever! I searched and searched for the perfect and Viola was incredible to work with! I could not recommend her more! She was so easy to talk to, had ton of great photo ideas and made you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We have gotten so many compliments on our pictures and lots of people asking who took the photos. I’m betting grateful to have such amazing photos forever!
