I’ve loved getting to know Allison + Ben throughout their engagement. We had the opportunity to connect for two different engagement sessions (one of them was snowed out!), and it was even more fun to celebrate their marriage at The Atrium in downtown Wilmington, NC. A few of my favorite memories:

// After they kissed during the ceremony, Ben had Allison’s lipstick all over him! Allison and Ben couldn’t stop laughing until they were announced and recessed up the aisle.

// During their second round of portraits, Ben pulled out a list of the things he loves about Allison and read them to her. It was a super sweet moment.

// They had a donut bar. Do I need to say more?

// After they ran through the sparklers twice, their guests started singing the Star Spangled Banner and waving the sparklers around like flags as they slowly burned out. It was one of those moments that sticks with you because it seemed random and comical. But, it also seemed intentional to honor the fact that Ben serves in the Air Force, and their wedding was the weekend before the election.
