    Incredible photographer. Incredible human.

    Allison’s talent is only matched by how easy and fun it is to work with her. She has a knack for letting the moments with her breathe naturally but also can “herd the cats” to make sure the job gets done. We did two shoots with her, one for our engagement and one for our wedding day, and we could not be happier with the collection of photos we now have to remember this time in our lives forever.

    For our engagement shoot, we had a very specific “vibe” we wanted to create. Allison helped us create the perfect day for it and added a few elements of her own that she knew would be a hit....

    An absolute expert photographer & a wonderful human

    Allison is INCREDIBLE, and if you are looking for a wedding photographer we truly believe you do not need to look any further. When we met Allison at our engagement session we knew right away that we made the right decision - it was like hanging out with a friend for 30 minutes. The entire session felt so natural and we had the BEST time. In the time between booking Lightbloom Photography for our wedding and the big day, Allison answered every question we had and she was always quick to respond. Twelve days after our wedding we received our wedding album and we are still in complete awe of the breath taking photos Allison captured of our special...

    Book Lightbloom for your wedding!

    Allison is simply the best. From the very first communication, I knew Allison was *the one*. She was prompt, transparent and extremely professional, all while offering the exact style of wedding photo that I was looking for. She provided so many resources throughout the planning process and honestly went way beyond any expectations I would have from my photographer. Not to mention she was totally on board with my multi day wedding extravaganza and showed up ready to take in and capture the chaos. Which she did, beautifully! And she then turned around the photos at lightning speed. I can't say enough good things about her. You know your wedding photographer is amazing when half the guests are talking...

    Lightbloom Photography made our dreams come true!!

    Allison is a MEGA talent at all things photography. Our family and friends have said that our wedding photos look like a Vogue photoshoot!! She captured my husband and my energy and personalities perfectly and was SO FUN and helpful throughout our entire wedding process. She will not disappoint you! The only thing I’m disappointed about is that I won’t get to spend an entire day with her again! Book Lightbloom immediately!!!

    Best (and sweetest) photographer in the business!

    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...

    Amazing photography!

    Alison with light loom is amazing! Her personality just radiates and she puts you at ease even during the anxiety and stress of it all. She was phenomenal to work with and had us feeling like models. Only about a week later we got all our photos back and I can not express how amazing they came out. Her eye and use of natural light makes her pictures stand out above the rest. I will cherish these photos for the rest of my life!

    We adore her and her work is beyond stunning!

    Allison is beyond anything we were expecting or could’ve asked for in our wedding photographer! She is such a lovely human that will completely put you at ease in front the camera and honestly make it feel like you’re hanging out with awesome friend within minutes! We were so excited to work with her after communicating by email, but once we met her we absolutely adored her! From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, Allison made it so easy to just be ourselves and enjoy our day. We were blown away with her work and how she so effortlessly captured our love. We cannot recommend her enough! Lightbloom Photography should be your first choice!!

    The absolute best!

    There are so many things I could say in this review about Allison as a photographer. But, I’ll start with saying - hire her, NOW. She is truly someone you need for your wedding day. From the moment I booked her she made the planning process fun. She is such a bright and special person and I don’t know that our wedding would have been as magical of a day without her. She is just that good at making you relaxed, making you laugh and just so incredible at what she does. I’ve never been comfortable with getting photos taken and she made the process so easy. My family adored her and my guests commented on how awesome she was. Her photos are gorgeous. Seriously, hire her. She is an absolute gem.

    Fun, Easy, and Simply the BEST!

    If I could give one piece of advice to a couple planning a wedding... HIRE ALLISON & Lightbloom Photography for your wedding! Allison was an absolute dream to work with; her fun and easygoing personality made it easy to be ourselves in front of the camera. She had unique photo ideas that gave us GORGEOUS results- and she got us our photos 8 DAYS after the wedding... 8 DAYS PEOPLE!!!!!!! She was so much more than a wedding photographer on our day, truly. She wrangled groomsmen, fluffed my dress and veil in the crazy wind, fended off family members to let us have a moment alone before the reception, and even managed to snap adorable pictures of our 3-year-old...

    If you want to have your wedding captured the way you felt, RUN to Allison.

    Seriously the best!!!!! Our pictures were exactly how our wedding felt… magical!!! I found Allison and started following her on Instagram. Immediately I fell in love with her pictures. When we had our intro chat, I wanted her to be my best friend, which is what you want as a photographer, but even as a person outside of that!! Allison helped made the day run smoother and I LOVED how planned out she is.

    If I could give a million star review, I would.

    Trust me, if you are paying $5 or $50k for a wedding, you need her in your life to capture the love between the married couple, family/friends, and the entire event. I look at these pictures almost everyday!!!

    The BEST photographer ever!

    Stop looking for a photographer and book with Allison! From the first email sent - I knew she would fit in with our family and friends perfectly! She is SO easy-going, listened to what I wanted, and made me feel so comfortable the entire day! I can't thank her enough for capturing every perfect moment so candidly. I never felt like she was intrusive, or tried to pull me and my husband away from the party! She partied and chatted with our guests and added so much to our reception. She is also EXTREMELY talented! She got our pictures back to us in five days and they are absolutely stunning!! I have nothing but amazing things to say about her - book with Allison, you won't regret it!!

    Look no further!

    Allison is a PRO. She is calm, beyond cool and doesn't miss a beat (or shot!). I struggled with all the attention on my day and Allison made me feel so at ease and like I was just shooting with a friend. Our photos have all the obligatory wedding shots, ones you don't even know to think of and SO many amazing candid moments that put us right back at our day. So grateful to her that we now get to relive our day through photos anytime we want. A must book. :)

    Allison is THE best!

    Picking a photographer was one of the biggest decisions for my husband and I when planning our wedding. After an awesome intro call, we went with Allison and we have zero regrets! Allison made our engagement photos so fun and the wedding even better! She is fun, efficient as heck and so dang talented. You spend a lot of time with your photographer throughout the day and Allison just felt like she was supposed to be at the wedding by the end of the day! On top of that, my friends and fam couldn't believe how fast we had our entire gallery in our hands. Every single photo captured the actual feeling of being there that day which is exactly what we wanted!! We can't wait to book another session!

    Above and beyond my wildest dreams!!!

    Allison is without a doubt the most incredible human being ever! She was sooooo much fun to be around and I cried happy tears when seeing the photos she took! They were absolutely gorgeous and with her help and vision, I can happily say my wedding day was nothing short of magical. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Allison--you will not be disappointed! I will be coming back to her with every major life event I have as I know she can capture it flawlessly. I can't say enough amazing things about her!

    Just. Do. It. Working with Allison is like working with one of your good friends!!

    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...

    5 stars are not enough for Allison! She is an artist and captured our wedding in the most beautiful way!

    There are honestly not enough words to describe how amazing Allison was through our whole wedding experience. We got married on 11/12/2021 and she photographed our wedding day as well as our engagement session back in March. Not only was Allison the BEST photographer, but she was also so much more. She answered any and all questions throughout the planning process and ended up connecting us to almost all of our other vendors. She is one of the most genuine and kind humans I have ever met. She is definitely in the right profession and her photographs are such beautiful artwork. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I cannot recommend her enough! Her pricing is also very reasonable and definitely worth the money! If you are getting married, you HAVE to contact Allison!

    Just choose Allison. You won't regret it. She's an angel and an artist who will make your wedding day and memories after glow.

    I knew Allison was the photographer I needed for my wedding day within the first five minutes of our intro call/facetime. She radiates joy, openness, and kindness. Throughout the planning process, she was organized yet flexible. She's also incredibly well-versed in weddings on the coast and so she essentially planned out when we should do the ceremony, post-ceremony photos, and reception based on the sunset times, golden hours times, etc. I was all over the place with my planning and she encouraged me and guided me. On the day-of, she was positive, easy-going, but kept us on track to get the photos we wanted/needed/didn't know we needed! She edited the photos quickly, without sacrificing quality. They are like works...

    Captured our magical day

    Allison is absolutely fabulous. She hung in there with us while we struggled to reschedule our 2020 wedding to 2021. She is professional but has a relaxed vibe, all while taking control where necessary. We took our engagement photos at Fort Fischer and then our wedding at Brooklyn arts center. The proofs came out superb, I can't stop looking at them! BOOK ALLISON!! She will not disappoint :)

    Amazing photographer!

    Allison is not only an incredible photographer, but a genuine and amazing person as well. She quickly responds to emails and always follows up on questions and inquiries. Allison is able to find the beauty in any and all situations and was able to adapt to every situation. When rain was in the forecast, we emailed Allison in a panic. She responded immediately and made us feel so much better! We are in love with every picture she took! Allison is incredibly talented, adaptable and has a calm confidence about her that helped us feel so comfortable. Our pictures are incredible and we received many compliments from our guests. We feel so grateful to have worked with Lightbloom Photography and would highly recommend her to everyone!

    Amazing Photographer & Amazing Human!

    My husband and I met Allison at a wedding expo (when those were allowed) in Wilmington. We instantly hit it off ended up booking her for our wedding. That was the best decision we made for our wedding!! Allison is sweet, kind, caring and attentive to your wedding date.

    Covid has made wedding planning really interesting, along with a family emergency two weeks before the wedding and I threw a LOT of changes at Allison. She handled the changes so well and was willing to do what felt like anything for me! She was so professional while letting her personality shine through. I feel like Nick and I made a life long friend AND also a lifelong photographer.

    Bride to be

    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!!!!

    Photographer

    Allison is absolutely wonderful! We hired her for our wedding photos, but when we met her it felt like we had been friends forever. She makes you feel at ease, gives you direction when needed and captures wonderful moments perfectly, she is professional, impressively timely with getting your pictures edited and back to you, and extremely talented. Due to COVID our 140 guest wedding changed to 17. Our last minute venue was a neighborhood club house with just a few trees, but the pictures Allison gave us were out of a fairy tale forest! We absolutely love them! We HIGHLY recommend Allison!
