Tiffanie contacted me well over a year ago about her destination wedding photographer here in Savannah. She and Ryan are from Tampa, FL, not far from where I used to shoot weddings in Central Florida. In fact, where we did their engagement photos was at a beach that I have photographed many weddings back in my Florida wedding days.
Their wedding took place at The Davenport House in Savannah in the middle of June. One thing that happens in Savannah in the middle of June is….. rain… lots and lots of rain. The sky let loose about 30 minutes before their ceremony was supposed to start. Rain doesn’t scare me much at all (or my equipment apparently), as I too am a victim of a rainy wedding day. Tiffanie and Ryan were a little luckier than I was though, as the rain stopped and the puddles were swept away and chairs dried off just in time for their ceremony to start just a few minutes delayed.
When Tiffanie and I first chatted I fell in love with the details she was incorporating into her wedding day, and the reasons behind them. She was very close with her grandmother who passed away unexpectedly last year so much of the day was dedicated to her. The wedding date was the week of her grandmothers birthday and the sunflowers were chosen because they were her grandmothers favorite flower. Also, they had their reception at Moon River Brewing in the beer cellar as Ryan is in the Army and as Tiffanie said many of the attendees are former or active military and having an unlimited supply of beer was a must!! My kinda party!!
Another important detail you will notice when perusing the pictures are their furry babies. Their three dogs are a huge part of their life, just like anyone with animals knows just how important they are to you. Tiffanie and Ryan chose to incorporate Tank, Roxy and Finn into their wedding and it was so cute to watch them walk down the aisle in a bow tie, signs and Roxie in her tutu. :)
Congratulations Tiffanie and Ryan! I can’t WAIT to hear about your amazing honeymoon in Ireland and throughout Europe!!
