Sophie and Shaw’s wedding day in Savannah, GA was a true Southern love story—classic, romantic, and bursting with thoughtful details from beginning to end. From a first look in Monterey Square to a garden-inspired reception at the Savannah Golf Club, every moment felt magical. If you’re looking for Savannah wedding inspiration, this day was a perfect blend of history, elegance, and heart.


Getting Ready at the Wedding Cake Mansion

Sophie began her wedding day in one of the most iconic and photogenic getting-ready locations in Savannah: the Wedding Cake Mansion. With its elegant interiors, ornate architecture, and floor-to-ceiling windows, it’s a dream for bridal portraits. Her wedding gown looked absolutely radiant in the soft natural light pouring through the historic windows—proof that this venue is perfect for timeless getting-ready photos.


First Look in Monterey Square

Monterey Square holds a special place in Savannah's heart—and in mine. It’s one of my favorite spots for wedding portraits thanks to its intimate charm, Spanish moss-draped oaks, and tucked-away elegance. Sophie and Shaw shared their first look here, a quiet and emotional moment just steps away from the bustle of the city. It set the tone for a day filled with love and intentionality.


Ceremony at Mickve Israel Synagogue

The ceremony took place at Congregation Mickve Israel, one of the most breathtaking and historic synagogues in the country. Sophie and Shaw exchanged vows beneath a gorgeous floral chuppah, surrounded by family, friends, and hundreds of years of heritage. The space is rich with architectural beauty, stained glass windows, and spiritual warmth—an unforgettable setting for their sacred “I do.”


Reception at Savannah Golf Club

After the ceremony, guests were welcomed to a garden-inspired reception at the Savannah Golf Club. Every detail—from the greenery to the oak tree accents—was a nod to Savannah’s natural beauty. The tented space brought the outdoors in, blending refined Southern style with lush, organic elements. From the custom bar to the floral tablescapes, the entire evening was as elegant as it was joyful.


Sweetest Detail: Hashbrown the Pup 🐾

One of my favorite touches? Sophie and Shaw’s adorable dog, Hashbrown, made an appearance in the details! Whether it was a custom beaded handbag for the bride, beagle patterned socks for the groom or a signature drink named in his honor, this furry family member added so much personality to the day. Couples—don’t be afraid to add your pet into your wedding day. It makes everything that much more personal and unforgettable!
