Why choose Wedding photography in Savannah?
A Savannah wedding is usually a ceremony in a square or a church and a reception somewhere within walking distance, which makes this one of the least logistically fraught wedding markets in the catalogue. The two things worth planning properly are the square — reserved by City of Savannah permit once the guest list reaches fifty — and the summer, which between June and September is severe enough to reshape a timeline.
Worth knowing about Savannah
A Savannah ceremony of fifty or more guests, or one with chairs, an aisle runner or a tent, needs a City of Savannah permit for the square, and a permit also means hiring an off-duty Savannah Police officer for the event. That makes the square part of the venue decision rather than a detail settled later — and worth choosing with the reception, because the two have to be within walking distance of each other.

FAQ — Wedding photography in Savannah
How do square permits work?
A wedding of fewer than fifty people in a Savannah square needs no City of Savannah permit and uses the square first-come, first-served. Fifty or more guests, or chairs, tents or décor, need a permit for that square plus an off-duty Savannah Police officer, so the ceremony square becomes part of the venue decision.
What is the best time of year for a Savannah wedding?
March and April, when the azaleas are out through the squares and the air is still comfortable, or October into early November. June through September is hot with very high humidity and daily afternoon storms — workable under the canopy, genuinely hard in formal clothes. Winter is mild, quiet and underrated.
