Welcome to my little corner of the photography world!

Hello, friends! I'm Savanna — Oregon native, book fanatic, photography educator, and love enthusiast.

After studying photography in college, I went to work as a university photographer. After quickly realizing I prefered to work with couples, I went full time as a wedding photographer and haven't looked back! When I'm not working with the most amazing couples, I love educating other photographers and helping them reach their goals.

I believe in joyful, timeless wedding photography.

I believe in marriages more than I believe in weddings.

I believe in genuine friendship with every bride and helping them along the way!

Just a few little

fun facts

About Savanna

I competed ballroom dance in college.

Don't be surprised when we add a bit of twirling to your session!

In my book,

hot chocolate with whip cream is a necessity all year long.

Two of the best movies out there:

Remember the Titans and Singin' in the Rain.

I shot college football and basketball

before switching to wedding photography — less chance of getting run over or tackled!

Stovetop popcorn

is considered a perfect substitute for dinner any day of the week.

Audiobooks are my jam!

I finish a new one almost every week and can talk for hours about all the things I’m learning.

Photographing the details

is one of my favorite parts of the wedding day.

I grew up visiting the Oregon coast

every summer and to this day have never visited a warm beach!

I’m one of those people

that zigzags the entire walk to the car, just so I can step on every crunchy leaf in a 10-foot radius.

The Hubby and I nerd out

over financial education and discuss our budgeting goals at least once a week!

wife

I've been married to the most wonderful man for five years and I love being with him! You can typically find us hiking, eating yummy food, or taking last-minute road trips together.

acAdemic

People used to laugh when they heard I was majoring in photography, but I can’t tell you how much my degree has helped me in the real world! The bulk of the photography education I have now comes from the amazing mentors I had in college. Not only did they give me all my technical knowledge and instill a desire to keep improving my craft, but they make a point to check in every few months to see what I’m learning and give tips on how to be better!

artist

If I couldn't be a photographer, I'd want to be a florist. It’s my secret hobby! I love any excuse to play with flowers and try to incorporate them into every shoot.
