Romantic Engagement Session at Lafayette Square | Savannah Engagement Photographer

Engagement Photography | Savannah, GA – Engagement sessions in Savannah are filled with timeless beauty, and Lafayette Square is one of the most romantic locations to photograph. Surrounded by moss-draped oak trees, a historic fountain, and charming brick paths, the square creates an effortless backdrop for love stories. During this session, we explored the heart of the historic district, stopping at ivy-covered walls, wrought iron gates, and hidden corners that highlight Savannah’s southern charm. The laughter, soft glances, and candid moments captured along the way made the gallery unforgettable. As a Savannah engagement photographer, my goal is always to create images that feel natural, romantic, and true to each couple’s story—and Lafayette Square offers the perfect setting for that.

Savannah Engagement Photography | Downtown Bar Session

Engagement Photography | Savannah, GA – This engagement session was the perfect blend of style and romance. Instead of the usual park setting, we began in a chic downtown bar with warm lighting, polished details, and an intimate atmosphere that felt straight out of a magazine. She stunned in a strapless white mini dress with a statement bow and bow-detailed heels (almost as dazzling as her engagement ring), while he kept it classic in a crisp white shirt and dark trousers.

What made this session so effortless was how natural they became in front of the camera. Like many of my couples, they admitted to feeling a little nervous at first, but I guided them every step of the way—while also giving them space to simply enjoy each other. The result was a gallery full of genuine laughs, quiet glances, and authentic in-between moments that make Savannah engagement photos timeless.

From champagne toasts at the bar to hand-in-hand strolls through the space, every image felt true to their story. Savannah has endless backdrops for love—whether it’s mossy oaks, cobblestone streets, or modern downtown vibes—and my job is to make the process stress-free, guided, and beautifully documented so you can relive it for years to come.
