MY PHILOSOPHY


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 timeless and candid photography.

Wioletta

McKinney

I am a Burnsville, North Carolina based wedding photographer, a Polish-born artist, wife of the love of my life, a mother of three, and someone who is always paying attention to light, emotion, and the small things people might otherwise miss. I photograph love with equal parts passion and intention, creating images that feel romantic, timeless, honest, and unmistakably personal.

Beautiful images are made with equal parts artistry, attention, and passion.



Gorgeous photographs do not happen by accident. I help you think through light, locations, portrait time, family photos, and the natural rhythm of the day so you can stay present while I take care of the photography details.


With a background in visual art, I notice the things that shape a photograph before the shutter ever clicks: the fall of light, the color around you, the lines of a room, a beautiful landscape, and the quiet details that make your wedding feel like yours.


I photograph weddings with that in mind: not as a collection of poses to rush through, but as a story to be present for. My work is romantic and artful, but always rooted in what is real.

Tell Me About Your Day

Testimonials

"Our wedding day was many many years in the making. We wanted a photographer who could work off our sometimes chaotic vibe. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day everything was perfect. Violet and her team took a group of seemingly unphotogenic goofballs and captured incredible shots both in poses and candids. Her eye for detail in all of important moments is magical and I am forever grateful for her artful talent. I will cherish these ethereal moments forever."

Julie & Dillon

"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."

Cassidy & Sarah

"Viola was an amazing wedding photographer. She's very gifted and did an excellent job helping us to prepare for our wedding day and actually capturing it! Her style is very elegant, creative, and original. We loved our experience working together and would do it again in a heartbeat!"
