Lightbloom Photography

We hired Allison from Lightbloom Photography for our 2022 wedding after spending almost three hours on FaceTime getting to know each other. I knew after 5 minutes she was ‘the one’ but somehow we talked for hours. She took our engagement photos a few months later and they turned out SO INCREDIBLE. She put us at ease the entire time and made the experience so enjoyable. And the photos. OMG. We loved every single one, which is so not like us (me). We have received so many compliments on how amazing they turned out and we owe it all to Allison. She has also provided us so much advice for other aspects of our wedding and I can’t imagine not having found her. We cannot wait for her to photograph our wedding. She is truly amazing!!!!

WOW is all I can say, really WOW! My husband and I were BLOWN away by Allison!!! I can not stop looking at our photos because they are absolutely gorgeous, beautiful, and exactly what we were looking for in terms of style and aesthetic. Her work, her professionalism, how passionate she is about what she does (including but not limited to: fluffy snow dogs, music, travel, and harry potter), her personality, and just who she is as a person are just some of the reasons why you should hire her!

I was fortunate enough to come across Lightbloom Photography after our initial wedding photographer scammed us. My husband and I were completely disheartened because we weren't sure how we would find a photographer 5 months before our wedding and we also were hesitant about trying to find someone who would trust taking our photos on a very important day. But immediately after sending an inquiry email to Allison and speaking to her on the phone, I felt an immediate sense of relief and calm that we were in good hands. She even went out of her way to meet us a few weeks before our wedding to verify that she was an actual person. LOL. She had no issues traveling to the Raleigh area for our wedding and we had such a BLAST throughout the day.

Honestly, it did not feel like we had a photographer following us around the entire day, it felt like we were just a group of friends having a great time. She was so sweet and patient to our pup too and if you suggested something she was TOTALLY on board for it.

One of the many things we loved about working with Allison from Lightbloom Photography was we wanted to have a piece of Wilmington incorporated in our wedding because it was the place that my husband and I met so it holds some significance to the both of us and just having here was a reminder of that place. The best way I can describe it is, it was like a perfect sunny day at Wrightsville Beach without the annoying seagulls and tourists. I could write paragraphs about Allison and Lightbloom Photography, but I don't want to give away too many spoilers for any future couples who are blessed to work with her. Thank you again Allison for making our day so fun. We loved working with you!
