First of all - look no further, Allison is it so go ahead and book her. Not only were her photos absolutely amazing, but Allison's personality is so kind and fun that even from our first email I felt like I was talking with one of my friends which as a bride really put me at ease. From our engagement photos on the beach in 30+ mph winds - to our big day, Allison was very responsive, engaging, and open to any wild and crazy idea I may have add. Her photos are absolutely STUNNING and vibrant with the colors - seriously there's not a single wedding photo I don't like. My husband and I are also not a couple who like to pose for pictures and prefer candids, but she made us feel SO comfortable that posing just felt natural. By the end of our wedding night, Allison felt more like a friend than photographer and we were both sad to see her leave. So if you want someone with stunning work who feels just like a friend - look no further because Allison is it!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Allison as our wedding photographer. Of course, she is so much more than that. Allison is a wonderful human being (and just as sweet as can be) who makes everyone she works with feel so incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. She makes what she does look so effortless, but the work she puts in behind the scenes is really what sets her apart from the rest. For starters, Allison offers an engagement photoshoot with her wedding photography packages. This was such a pleasant surprise for us, and served as a great opportunity to meet Allison ahead of our wedding day! She is also an excellent communicator (easing my mind about potential rain at least once 😅) and has a very quick turnaround time when it comes to email inquiries. With that, her website and photo galleries are so user friendly and easy to access, which may seem like a small detail but it really stood out to me throughout our time working with her. It is clear Allison has spent a lot of time building her business into what it is today, and I have so much admiration for her because of this.

And of course, how could I talk about Allison and Lightbloom Photography without mentioning how PERFECTLY she captured not only our engagement photos, but our entire wedding day. I was particularly blown away by the fact that she seemed to be everywhere at once, capturing all of the small moments I thought no one else was watching. One example that stood out to me was after our wedding reception dinner. My grandma needed to head out early, but before she left, she came over to give me a hug while everyone else was busy dancing. When we got our gallery back, I saw Allison had captured this sweet exchange between me and my grandmother and it actually brought a tear to my eye. I am genuinely still in shock over how beautiful our photos turned out and know I will be looking at them forever. For those in search of the perfect photographer, Allison is spectacular and it is clear that she takes her craft very seriously. With all this being said, we would highly recommend Lightbloom Photography! You will not regret your decision to work with her.

Allison is the ABSOLUTE BEST photographer I have ever met! My entire bridal party loved her so much, she made the day so much fun and she fit in with our group perfectly. (To the point where we are all planning on visiting Wilmington again soon just to hangout with her!) She posted sneak peek photos right away and her turn around time for our entire wedding album was PHENOMENAL. I will recommend/request Allison for every single event from now on.
How do you ask your photographer to be your bestfriend without asking her to be your bestfriend?😅 LOVE HER SO MUCH ❤️
