Ryan and Jaiden’s engagement session in Forsyth Park was one of those shoots that reminds me exactly why I love being a Savannah engagement photographer. From the moment we met, their story has been one full of intention, joy, and deep connection—and it’s been an honor to help preserve each chapter.
I first met them when Ryan proposed to Jaiden in Beaufort, South Carolina last March. That moment was unforgettable, and getting the chance to photograph their engagement session this year felt like a meaningful continuation of their story.
While it had been years since Jaiden last visited Forsyth Park, stepping back into it together for this session brought something special. With its signature mossy oaks, the fountain at the center, and golden light filtering through the trees, this location offered the perfect setting to celebrate this season of their lives.
What makes Ryan and Jaiden stand out isn’t just how great they look on camera (though that’s easy)—it’s the way they treat each other. There’s a calm, confident kind of love between them. One built on mutual respect, laughter, and real friendship. Their kindness is genuine, and their connection is unmistakable in every glance and interaction.
Their Fall wedding is right around the corner, and I have no doubt it will be full of the same warmth and love that surrounds them naturally. As a Savannah wedding and engagement photographer, it’s a gift to work with couples like Ryan and Jaiden—people who remind you that love, when it’s real, speaks for itself.
Thank you both for trusting me once again. From Beaufort to Savannah, I’m so excited for what’s next.
Thanks for reading!
