Hello, I'm Marianne

Savannah Wedding Photographer
Black and white lettering design with elegant floral ornamental details.

My full name is Marianne Lucille Brown. My first name is a combination of my Grandmother (Mary) and Great Grandmother (Anne) names and my middle name is from my Great Aunt (Lucille). I was born and raised in Savannah, however, my parents are from New York so I spent many summers driving up and down I-95 to Long Island. I have two younger brothers, Bob and Pat. I have two bachelor's degrees, one in Fine Arts and the other in Nursing.  I've always loved documenting our lives and trips on film so photographing weddings was a very natural step for me. I've been photographing weddings for 10+ years. I truly love this "job" and always try my best to be a calm and peaceful presence on a wedding day. I have learned a lot throughout the years, seen trends come and go and have met a lot of amazing fellow vendors who go above and beyond for their clients.

My approach

 

I want everyone I photograph to feel comfortable in front of my camera and to thoroughly enjoy their wedding day. Above everything else, the one thing that I do on every wedding day is become the calming force for you and your fiancé, no matter what happens. Whether it rains, it's 10 degrees outside or your flowers show up late. I'm there to remind you that, no matter what happens, you're here to get MARRIED. That's literally the only reason why all these people showed up - to see you and the love of your life start this new amazing chapter in your lives.


Weddings are definitely my favorite thing to photograph.  From the perfectly selected details to the emotional final dance ... I sincerely enjoy every single second of it.

Clients often describe my wedding photography style as: timeless, joyful, natural, elegant, dreamy, romantic, + visually captivating.
