Honeymoon session · Savannah
In short
Honeymoon session in Savannah starts at $395: 90 min on location with a photographer who works in Savannah, and 50 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 5 business days.
Why choose Honeymoon session in Savannah?
Honeymoon photography in Savannah is a sunrise or sunset session of an hour and a half for newlyweds, priced from $395, covering two locations and delivering 50 edited images within five business days. A Savannah honeymoon has an unusual choice of light: Tybee Island faces east onto the open Atlantic about twenty minutes from downtown, so the sun comes up straight out of the ocean, while the historic district gives evening shade under the oaks. Most honeymooners stay downtown, which makes Tybee the location away from the hotel.
Worth knowing about Savannah
The City of Tybee Island requires approval for still photography taken for commercial use within city limits, and a session on the sand also needs a Tybee Beach Permit together with a Georgia Department of Natural Resources Letter of Request. The dunes are protected and closed to foot traffic, so honeymoon frames are made on the open beach, and from May 1 to October 31, sea turtle season, no lights are allowed on the beach after dark.
What does the session in Savannah look like?

FAQ — Honeymoon session in Savannah
Can our Savannah honeymoon photos be taken on Tybee Island at sunrise?
Yes, and sunrise is the time to do it, because Tybee Island faces east onto the open Atlantic. The City of Tybee Island asks for approval of commercial still photography in city limits, and a beach session also needs a Tybee Beach Permit and a Georgia DNR Letter of Request, so a Savannah honeymoon sunrise on Tybee is arranged before the date.
Can we pose in the dunes on Tybee Island for honeymoon photos?
No. The City of Tybee Island treats the sand dunes as protected areas closed to all foot traffic, and the jetties are off limits too. Honeymoon portraits on Tybee are made on the open beach with the dunes behind, which still shows them, and an evening session in sea turtle season, May 1 to October 31, ends before dark because no lights are allowed on the beach.
