Savannah Shaw is an artist, friend, and lover of small moments. Using a personal approach that empowers pride with a sense of ease, Savannah documents life as it comes – the warm and fond moments we all long to hold. She loves the park, a good picnic, a cocktail with friends, and documenting life. You can always find her with her Yashica 35mm in her bag, ready to snap a photo.
Savannah helps to collect heirlooms of life’s favorite memories, bookmarking each of them through the eyes of a friend. She values honesty, openness, being present in the moment, and finding beauty in the day-to-day.
Savannah would love to give you images to treasure, images that take you back to the specific moment in your life that they were captured, reminding you how precious that time really was. She shoots in both digital and film formats because she has found that the combination of the two can tell a story better than either on their own.
In each wedding, I find significance in the unique blend of honesty, community, and the inherent beauty present in every moment. The day is a collection of carefully chosen details, a range of emotions, and the gathering of people who share in the joy of the occasion.
What captivates me most is the realization that this specific combination of individuals, this particular set of moments, will never occur again. It's a one-time occurrence, a singular event in the story you’re telling. My goal is to explore the beauty by simply being in it with you — seeing and snapping moments with intention and purpose.
In using both digital and film photography, I aim to offer a comprehensive perspective. Digital photos allow for crisp and vibrant images, while film brings a timeless, nostalgic quality that resonates with the essence of the day. Through the lens of a friend, I seek to immerse myself in the genuine interactions, to become not just an observer but a participant in the experience.
I consider it a privilege to be entrusted with the responsibility of documenting your day. To witness the unfolding narrative, to freeze those irreplaceable moments in time, and to encapsulate the true spirit of your celebration. Your wedding day is a unique chapter in your life story, and I am dedicated to preserving its authenticity and beauty.
