Why Savannah Is One of the Best Places to Get Married in the South
If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s equal parts romance, charm, and Southern soul, Savannah just might be the perfect place to say “I do.” With its historic architecture, moss-draped oaks, and slow, golden light, this city feels like it was made for love stories — and even more so, for capturing them on film.
As a wedding filmmaker based here, I’ve had the honor of documenting love stories all across Georgia and beyond. But there’s something about Savannah that makes every frame feel cinematic. Here's why so many couples — from Georgia natives to destination dreamers — are choosing Savannah for their wedding day.
1. Timeless Backdrops Everywhere You Look
From the iconic Forsyth Park fountain to the cobblestone streets of River Street, Savannah is filled with visual poetry. Its blend of Southern charm and historic elegance makes it a filmmaker’s dream. Whether you’re planning a grand ballroom celebration or an intimate garden ceremony, this city offers locations that look and feel like a movie set.
2. Romantic, Slower Pace That Lets You Soak It All In
Weddings here just feel different. Maybe it’s the warm breeze coming off the river, or the way the Spanish moss sways in the trees — but there’s a calmness in Savannah that allows couples to truly be present on their wedding day. That presence translates beautifully into film, where real emotions and quiet moments shine.
3. Incredible Venue Variety for Every Couple
Savannah offers a wide range of wedding venues, from historic mansions and elegant chapels to modern industrial spaces and open-air courtyards. Want something waterfront? Covered. Prefer a hidden garden or classic church? Absolutely. There’s something for every couple and every vision — and I love helping my couples choose spots that bring their story to life on camera.
4. Perfect for Destination Weddings (Without the Hassle)
Savannah is easy to travel to but still feels like a getaway. With walkable streets, charming inns, and a thriving food and art scene, it’s ideal for couples hosting guests from out of town. Whether you’re planning a weekend celebration or a simple elopement, it’s a destination that delivers an unforgettable experience — and looks stunning in every frame.
5. It Just Feels Like a Love Story
At the end of the day, Savannah isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a character in your story. It brings mood, warmth, and that touch of timeless magic that every wedding deserves. And for me, it’s always an honor to preserve the feeling of this place, and your day, through film.
