Full Circle: A Fall Family Session in Historic Savannah, Georgia

There’s something undeniably magical about returning to the place where your story began. For this sweet family, HollyOaks on the Marsh in historic Savannah, Georgia is more than just a stunning location—it’s where they had their wedding!

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing this beautiful family: a mom and dad who exchanged their vows at HollyOaks just a few years ago and their precious daughter. Seeing them return to the spot where they said “I do,” now with their little girl, made for a truly special session.

 The Beauty of HollyOaks on the Marsh

For those unfamiliar with HollyOaks on the Marsh, it’s a breathtaking, tucked-away gem in historic Savannah, Georgia. The sweeping marsh views, towering oaks draped in Spanish moss, and golden light create a picturesque setting that feels like something out of a storybook. Every corner of HollyOaks offers a perfect backdrop, whether you’re seeking a wide-open landscape or an intimate grove for quieter moments. The beauty of the estate, along with the hospitality of Stephanie and the rest of the team at HollyOaks on the Marsh, is why I keep going back to photograph there–and it’s why I’ve asked them to host Santa’s HollyOaks Holiday two years in a row.

The Significance of Photographing at HollyOaks on the Marsh Again

As we strolled through the grounds, it was heartwarming to see this sweet couple, along with their little girl, in a place that held such special meaning for them. For this family, returning to HollyOaks wasn’t just about capturing pretty pictures—it was about creating new memories while cherishing the old ones. It’s rare to find a location that holds so much personal history, and to document their growing family where their journey began was incredibly meaningful. 

Why You Should Book a Fall Portrait Session

Fall at HollyOaks on the Marsh (or any of Savannah’s gorgeous parks, squares, and other outdoor spaces) is nothing short of magical. Here are just a few reasons why now is the perfect time to book your fall family portrait session:

• Gorgeous Scenery – With cooler temperatures, fall brings crisp air, rich golden tones, and a warmth to the light that makes outdoor portraits truly breathtaking. The shifting leaves, earthy tones, and the natural glow of autumn all contribute to photos that feel timeless and elegant.
• Perfect Timing for Holiday Cards – A fall portrait session ensures your photos are ready in plenty of time to create stunning holiday cards. Whether you want a family photo to send to friends and family or something special to display in your home for the holidays, fall photos provide the perfect opportunity.
• Cozy, Layered Outfits – Fall fashion lends itself to beautiful layers, textured fabrics, and warm, rich colors that photograph beautifully. From soft knits and scarves to boots and neutral palettes, fall clothing can elevate your photos to feel even more stylish and put-together.
• Cherished Memories – Like this sweet family, your fall session can also be a way to commemorate special moments. Whether it’s the first year in your new home, an anniversary, or simply a season of life you want to remember, fall portraits help you hold on to those special moments in a meaningful way.

There’s no better time to capture the beauty of your family than during the fall, with its soft, glowing light and vibrant colors. Whether you’re looking to create lasting memories or capture your own family’s special moments, a fall portrait session at HollyOaks on the Marsh or another beautiful fall location in historic Savannah is a perfect choice.
