This venue is absolutely breathtaking. The scenic mountains were the perfect background for my husband and I’s wedding and the barn was equally as stunning. So much thought was put into the design of the barn and every little detail was thought out. The bridal suite is massive and has everything you could need and more to get ready on your big day, including a salon chair! The groom’s quarter was the perfect place for the guys to hangout the day of and has a TV and bar. The barn itself doesn’t feel like just any other barn venue; it’s rustic but so elegant at the same time. I can’t recommend this venue enough and the owners are the most down-to-earth, easy people to work with!

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 S Clark Photography was the perfect choice for capturing our wedding day. From our very first interaction, Shannon's communication style was quick, intentional, and efficient - qualities that continued throughout our entire experience working with her. The quality of her work is simply exquisite, showcasing her immense talent and seasoned expertise. Shannon went out of her way to make sure everything was captured, even taking the time to learn the best locations to photograph within the Catholic church where our ceremony was held. She is genuinely passionate about ensuring your day is beautiful, seamless, and effortless, going above and beyond for her clients. We are thrilled with the stunning photos that perfectly preserve the memories of our special day.

Truly the most beautiful venue and so much care goes into each thing they do! From the very start, everything was perfect! The food is absolutely amazing, all of our guests have been talking about it; neither one of us even like cake, but we loved theirs!! The entire property is gorgeous and meticulously cared for, they even grow ingredients there for the freshest best tasting meals. Communication was fantastic, they were on top of everything, and executed it extremely well. The entire team was so kind, helpful and professional but still so fun to have around! Haley and Kate singlehandedly saved the ceremony when we realized halfway through the rings never made it out of the house, they were already on it and running them down for us!

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.

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.

We’ve got about 15 years of experience planning events in all kinds of ways — and honestly, we still get excited every single time. We love the creative side, the problem-solving, and even the curveballs (okay… especially the curveballs). Figuring out how to take what you’re dreaming about and actually make it happen is kind of our favorite thing. We get really invested in our clients and their stories, and we genuinely care about making your day feel meaningful, smooth, and unforgettable. This isn’t just a job for us — we truly love it, and we don’t take for granted that we get to be part of such big moments. — Kimberly & Kayla

Working with Separk was super easy from start to finish. We had Hannah as our wedding coordinator and she did a great job with creating and sticking to the timeline. She also did great at setting up our decor items and some flowers we brought to the venue. She was very communicative with us and our bridal party/family so that everyone knew what was expected from them for the ceremony. Overall we had a great experience with Separk and had the most perfect wedding thanks to them!

I genuinely believe that love is love. I will be your advocate and your cheerleader. I’ll be your motivator and organizer. I have had the privilege to help over 130 couples walk down the aisle. I have sewn dresses, stapled pants, spray painted flowers, held hands, cried, laughed, sang, built arbors, washed dishes, served drinks and food, and so much more. I am detail oriented and appreciate finishing touches.
