When you are a wedding photographer in a destination wedding location like Savannah, often your couples don’t live here and you don’t get to actually meet them in person until the wedding day. But with Jessica and Mike, it didn’t matter in the slightest that we had only spoken over the phone–it felt like greeting an old friend the minute I walked into the hotel room where Jessica and her girls were getting ready.

Ya’ll know that there aren’t many things I love more than a Savannah wedding. They make my heart happy, and I still have so many moments of complete awe that I get to live here and actually shoot weddings in this gorgeous city. But, did you know that I don’t just shoot weddings in Savannah? Yep…I travel too! I recently shot a wedding in St. Augustine, FL, an engagement session in Gainesville, FL, and an inspiration shoot in Costa Rica. I adore traveling, and I always feel inspired in new locations.

I absolutely love when couples choose Savannah as their destination wedding location, because it reaffirms what I already know–Savannah is just lovely. Kirstie + Carlos are originally from Miami, where they went to high school together, reconnected years later, and then ultimately fell in love. Their love has since taken them around the world, from a proposal at Versailles to a wedding in Savannah. So what better way to start off their wedding planning journey than with engagement photos at Wormsloe? It’s such a classic, gorgeous Savannah spot.

Here’s the thing. Valentine’s Day can either be awesome, or it can be stressful. I personally think a day designated to celebrate love should always be awesome, but I know it can be hard to come up with that perfect, romantic thing to do that doesn’t involve fighting for a restaurant reservation. That’s why I am offering mini shoots on Valentine’s Day! It’s the perfect way to slow down, focus on each other, and freeze a few of your moments together. Romantic, simple, and fun–what every Valentine’s Day should be like, right?
