Wedding on Tybee Island | Allie and Jeremy

When it comes to a wedding on Tybee island every photographer has a favorite type of couple. My favorite couples are very enthusiastic about the planning process (which makes me excited in turn), collaborating and also put forth a sincere effort in selecting their wardrobe and injecting a little style in their wedding day. What photographer doesn’t love photographing a well-dressed couple? Above all things I am deeply grateful when a couple simply trusts me. This I cherish above and beyond all the rest and would hope for this alone for every shoot.

Allie and Jeremy embody all those things. They shared their story, Allie’s love of photography (another favorite) and their wishes to have a simple yet romantic beach ceremony. A slight chill in the are for their evening ceremony kept most beachgoers away creating an even more intimate vibe on Tybee’s north beach. After shaking off the jitters of the ceremony Allie even expressed she was all warmed up and excited for a little photographic adventure.

Thank you both so very much for laughing along with me, for being brave in front of the camera (that’s mostly for Jeremy) and for giving of yourselves by trusting me. I loved every minute of the time we shared. Also I’d like to give a proper shout out to Dana Johnson, owner and operator of Tybee Island Officiant for adding his easy-going style to Allie and Jeremy’s ceremony. If you’re planning a wedding on Tybee you should certainly book him early as he books up quickly.

Tybee Island Engagement | Bart and Hannah

It’s Tybee Island engagement season around here so I thought I’d share this proposal session with Bart and Hannah that took place on Tybee’s north end. Bart choose something a little different and decided on the rock jetty and the lighthouse for his background when he asked Hannah if she’d marry him. It being a bit overcast allowed for the lighthouse light to be lit and adding a little something special to the moment.

If your thinking of proposing to your significant other I’d be honored and happy to help. I specialize not only in Tybee Island family photography, but intimate Tybee Island weddings and Tybee Island engagement sessions. I honestly love talking out the details to make sure you have a perfect experience and images to remember the moment. It’s a public beach and as you know when you try to control the universe it usually doesn’t comply, but there are things you can plan for so you have way less stress and you can approach the day with confidence. I even have a few locations that probably no one knows about and would make your images on of a kind.

Tybee Island Rentals | Family Reunions

There are many types of Tybee Island rentals you can reserve for your stay here. Do you have lots of family members you all want to stay in the same house during your visit? How does staying in a historic, tucked away location on Tybee’s north end sound? Please allow me to recommend 9 Officers Row, a grand southern home built in 1895 for housing officer during World War I and II and on the National Historic Register.

When the Alexander family recently visited and decided to book a family session they had a full schedule in the evenings when most of my family sessions occur. Instead they opted for a casual, late morning session at their rental. Luckily they were staying at 9 Officers Row which has big wrap around porches that provide shade at that time of day while still accommodating their family reunion of 21.

Again, there are many Tybee Island rentals, but if a unique, quiet location where your crew can make memories all under one roof and in a short walking distance to the ocean sounds like your thing then certainly check it out!
