Tidal Marsh Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the very first interaction, Sarah and her team demonstrated a professional, timely, and organized communication style that put us at ease throughout the entire process. Their work is truly exceptional - sharp, timeless, creative, and purposeful. Sarah captured all of the little details of our special day perfectly, from the rings and invitation to the final kiss. When the rain continued to fall, Sarah's clear umbrellas became the perfect prop in some of our favorite wedding photos. I look at the photos she took every day, as they hang in our entryway for everyone to see. I am so glad we chose Tidal Marsh Photography - their talent and attention to detail made our wedding day truly unforgettable.

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

Hi, I’m Sarah, the photographer behind Booth Creative Co., a Wilmington, North Carolina wedding photographer serving couples across North Carolina and beyond. I believe wedding photos should feel like you. The quiet in-between moments, the laughter with your favorite people, the unexpected emotions, and the timeless portraits you and your family will treasure for years. My approach blends documentary storytelling with classic, intentional portraiture. Whether your celebration is laid-back and spontaneous or more traditional and structured, I adapt to what matters most and create honest images that reflect the true feeling of your day.

We couldn’t be happier with Sarah’s work. We switched things up and did a one year celebration of marriage party since we got married at the courthouse. I was worried I was going to make things difficult not being an actual wedding but from the very beginning her communication was confident, clear, and easy she made us feel so comfortable! The quality of her work is truly amazing, the end result is a stunning collection of images that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Booth Creative Co. LLC to any couple planning their wedding!

Wilmington, NC
  • Venue
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor

Since 2015, our brewery has been the perfect backdrop for hundreds of events including weddings, charity events, corporate functions, business networking and social celebrations! Ironclad Brewery is located in an historic building dating back to 1925 in Downtown Wilmington. The building was completely renovated in 2014, but we've maintained much of the character and integrity of the original building. Our brewers hand forge a wide range of craft beer and hard seltzers, using only the best ingredients available. In addition to our craft beer and seltzer creations, we also serve cider, wine, and spirits. ​

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides lighting and sound
  • Allows pets
  • All-inclusive venue packages

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • No in-house catering options
  • No on-site bridal suite
I have photographed countless weddings at Ironclad Brewery - and it is hands down one of my favorite venues to work in. The building itself is gorgeous, with tall brick walls and dangling twinkle lights (which make every reception photo SPARKLE), with two floors of space to have a large OR a small event. The location is also incredible, walking distance to all of my favorite photo locations downtown, and directly across the street from a parking deck, which does not exist for most other venues downtown. Not only is the space stunning, but the staff really makes it what it is. Rachel will help you out from the beginning of planning your wedding all the way up to the wedding day, and the bar is one of the best in Wilmington. Excellent selection as well as a fully staffed bar (actually, two) so that your guests will never have to wait in line to get their drinks. Ironclad is the BEST!
