If you’re planning a wedding in Downtown Wilmington, NC, Hotel Ballast is one of the most elegant venues on the Riverwalk—and it was the perfect setting for this beautiful celebration I recently photographed. With waterfront views, modern design, and endless photo spots, it’s truly a dream location for couples who want a classic and timeless wedding day.
The couple exchanged vows overlooking the Cape Fear River, giving their ceremony a soft, romantic glow. Hotel Ballast’s clean, modern aesthetic paired perfectly with their neutral color palette and elegant décor.
After the ceremony, we explored the Wilmington Riverwalk and nearby historic streets for portraits. The mix of water views, brick pathways, and golden-hour light gave us a stunning variety of photos in just a few steps from the venue.
With waterfront access, nearby downtown landmarks, and gorgeous indoor spaces, Hotel Ballast offers everything couples need for a seamless and scenic wedding day.
