Why I love it When it Rains on your Wedding Day –

04/27/2021

I know it’s crazy but secretly I am glad when it rains on a wedding day in Savannah and I pray that I will be blessed with an amazing wedding team and a couple who will embrace the chaos and just “go for it” This past Saturday, I got all 3! Olivia and Daniel are the nicest, most fun, life-of-0the-party, and kindest people you’ll be honored to meet.

Why do I like the rain?

1. No one is outside! A Saturday in Forsyth Park can be packed with people…but not during a rain storm! They are out of my picture!

2. It forces me to think outside the box and find cool places to shoot inside that I would normally walk past (see dress hanging from ropes in lobby of the Alida) I asked Olivia to lay down on the bed and do a cute head shot with her feet up. Then I saw a mirror and those are always fun to play around with. Thinking about what do with what you got in the room can make for some fun photos!

3. OCF ! (Off Camera Flash) I bring my assistant and my 2 lights and we work hard, in the pouring rain to light up the night and those amazing little droplets of scattered showers. Some of my best work is done in seemingly impossible situations.

The secret really to a great wedding day? It isn’t the sunny skies or the beautiful rain, it’s not the amazing wedding team (1st comment), it’s not the loving family either! I have seen it all and although these elements will help, the truth of it is the same as what makes a marriage really great – none of the above. It’s your attitude and perspective. Olivia and Daniel were just so happy to be together and to be getting married. They love each other through Covid and rain and in good times and bad. They put God first in their lives and each other second. That’s the secret!

Dream Weaver Photo was truly a blessing for our elopement ceremony. Mrs. Angie showed up on time and went above and beyond to make sure that our day was well captured in photos. Thank you so much everyone 💗

Jamie and Chris did a great job on our surprise engagement photo shoot. We loved the photos and they were easy to work with. We will definitely be considering them for wedding photos if we come back to Savannah for the wedding!

I just wanted to start with first and for most thanks for saving our day back in October of 2021…. Our photographer we had booked canceled on us not Once, but Twice! Through email at that….. With us not being local to where we were getting married, we wanted to do engagement photos with our wedding photographer. Just to make SURE! They were the one we wanted to use for our BIG DAY! because pictures for me was SO important. Thank you so much for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. Your attention to detail and professionalism meant that we were able to relax, knowing that our wedding photographs would be in good hands. Your relaxed, personable approach made us feel very welcome when we first met you. We are so glad that you answered your phone and were able to squeeze us into your schedule as I was was in full panic mode! Working with you was a highly enjoyable experience. As a photographer, you had the ability to interpret our vision in a way that was non-intrusive and natural. We deeply appreciate all your work will be cherished for the duration of our lives. You have such a gift, and we are so thankful you shared it with us. Your ability to conduct a photoshoot with patience and kindness and the time it took for you to catch those precious moments. It is clear that you enjoy what you do, and that enthusiasm made it a pleasant experience for everyone. Which we didn’t have a big wedding and SO many of them said they noticed you knew what you was doing. 😊. I got not only a photographer I got a coordinating photographer. (I’m glad you had I all figured out, because I was just going with it). You knew exactly what to do and was quick at snapping people into their places. LoL We were beyond excited to receive our sneak peek photographs from you, in just a few days. They are superb and we love your innovative style and artistic eye. You are officially our favorite photographer!!!!! 😁

Savannah will forever hold a place in our hearts thanks to Jamie and Chris. Arriving at Wormsloe, I had no idea I would be leaving engaged. Jamie, worked with my now fiancé a few days prior, to create a magical surprise proposal. She made it so effortless for him to plan from afar (Buffalo, NY) & the process was seamless. She captured every moment from the happy tears, to the laughs. Thank you Jamie for being part of our special day & for truly making this surprise happen.

Working with Jamie and Dream Weaver was without question, the right choice! From the initial interaction, Jamie was responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. We had a group of 16 coming together to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary - 8 adults and 8 children - Jamie created a fun experience for all involved. Full disclosure, we did have a challenge (the card lost the initial photos); however, the way that Jamie handled the situation is why this remains a 5 star review. She worked with our schedule, did a complete re-shoot and even brought a second photographer to ensure we were going to get what she had promised. The end result is exactly what we wanted - 3 generations captured and a 50th anniversary celebration to be remembered. Thank you Jamie!
