Quinceañera photography · Savannah
In short
Quinceañera photography in Savannah starts at $950: 5 hours on location with a photographer who works in Savannah, and 250 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 4 weeks.
Why choose Quinceañera photography in Savannah?
Quinceañera photography in Savannah is five hours of coverage from getting ready through the Mass, the formal portraits and the reception, priced from $950 with more than 250 retouched photographs and court-of-honor group portraits. A Savannah quinceañera usually moves between three places: the family’s own parish for the Mass, a historic-district square for the portraits, and a reception hall. The squares give the court something most cities cannot — a gown and fourteen formal outfits under live oaks and Spanish moss, in shade that keeps every face evenly lit.
Worth knowing about Savannah
The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist on Lafayette Square states that it does not have a Spanish-language Mass and that no professional photo shoots are allowed inside without advance permission. A Savannah quinceañera Mass is therefore usually held at the family’s own parish, while the Cathedral’s façade becomes the backdrop for court portraits taken from the square, and any interior frames there are requested from the Cathedral well ahead.

FAQ — Quinceañera photography in Savannah
Can quinceañera photos be taken inside the Savannah Cathedral?
Only with advance permission. The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist in Savannah does not allow professional photo shoots inside without permission arranged ahead, and it closes to visitors during weddings, funerals and other religious events. Portraits in front of the Cathedral from Lafayette Square need no such arrangement and are the usual alternative.
How is a court of honor photographed in a Savannah square?
In the shade of the live oaks, in one line and then in pairs. A Savannah square gives the quinceañera and a court of fourteen even light on every face, and benches and ironwork for seated variations. The group portraits take about twenty minutes of the five hours and are scheduled between the Mass and the reception.
