Some sessions are anticipated long before the first photo is ever taken. This chic Forsyth Park engagement session had been planned for weeks. Tayler told me she wanted something different from home, somewhere unique with beautiful trees and charming side streets. Forsyth Park in Savannah felt like the perfect place to bring her vision to life.
We talked through outfits, locations, and timing leading up to the session. I was genuinely so excited. Then the day came and nothing went according to plan.
My car was in the shop for maintenance, so I borrowed my husband’s truck. Shortly after crossing the Florida border into Georgia, the truck started overheating and I had to pull over. I called Tayler and told her not to panic. I was still coming, just facing a small setback. With some unexpected help from local law enforcement, I was back on the road. I was running late, but I was determined to make it.
About ten minutes outside of Savannah, the sky began turning dark. It looked like rain was moving in quickly. My stomach was in knots because I wanted this Forsyth Park engagement session to feel perfect. Despite the heavy clouds, the rain held off. The sky stayed overcast, but we caught soft peeks of glow filtering through throughout the evening.
The moody light paired beautifully with Tayler’s fashionable yet understated outfit, while his more casual look complemented hers effortlessly. They moved through the park with ease. We wandered beneath the oak trees, along the fountain, and through the quiet streets she loved. Historic Savannah has a timeless charm that makes it one of the most romantic destinations in the South. Even with the earlier obstacles, we created images that felt refined, romantic, and true to them.
Their story began through mutual friends and they officially started dating in November 2020. Since then, they have built a relationship rooted in simple joys like trying new restaurants together. That ease and comfort showed throughout this Forsyth Park engagement session.
Even when the day does not unfold as planned, beauty still rises from it.










Although this Savannah session was unforgettable, it was only the beginning. After the unexpected travel hiccups, I promised them a redemption session closer to home. Their coastal Fort Clinch engagement photos brought a completely different energy that you will not want to miss. Check their Vibrant Fort Clinch engagement photos out here.
