Washington Wedding Photographer

A little About Savanna Marleé - That's me!

Hi there! I'm Savanna, a Washington wedding & elopement photographer for kindred spirits and wildly-in-love souls! I specialize in capturing emotion-soaked, earth-hugged love stories across the beautiful State of Washington and beyond.

I've been taking pictures for about as long as I can remember, It all started with the disposable cameras in kindergarten and let's just say I've been hooked ever since! I booked my first wedding when I was 15, it was right there I knew this was what I wanted to do and built my business up from there.

I'm a huge fan of both glamorous weddings and adventure elopements, I can't imagine only doing one or the other! Marleé is my middle name, pronounced Mar-lay. While I am based in Washington, I love traveling to new places for weddings and adventure. The South-West has my heart in the Spring, the tropics in Winter, and the PNW in Summer & Fall.

Outside of work, I'm obsessed with gardening, home projects, adventures with my husband, chai lattes in the fall, quiet walks in the snow, birding, climbing rocks, swimming in blue water holes, cooking recipes from every culture possible, hiking, rope swings, waterfalls, mountains any time of year, and of course, my dog, Argo, who goes by Beans.

Testimonials

"We hired Savanna for both our engagement and wedding photos and it was the best decision we made throughout all of our wedding planning. We received so many compliments on our engagement photos and it was such a good time shooting with her. She constantly asked us if there were any other shots we wanted in each location and walked us through any positioning to get the perfect shots. On the day of our wedding, I didn’t even realize Savanna was in the room taking photos. I had to ask where she was and she quickly responded she was behind me haha. But that was the theme the whole evening. I didn’t even see her during the getting ready photos (for most of it), the ceremony, or during the majority of our reception. She blended in, was extremely professional, and spent time capturing each moment. Friends and family told us she was kind and professional during the evening and we don’t doubt that as that’s been our experience from day one. We got our gallery back quickly and again, the photos were out of this world. She caught the happy moments, the serious ones, and those in between. I’m so thankful that all the money we invested in this day came out in photos we can look at for the rest of our lives. If you have any reservations on pricing or if it’s worth it, she is worth every penny and more. You will not regret it." -C

My Photo-Philosophy

- Intimate moments need more space. I'll be a fly on the wall for the most special moments. Still there to capture everything in detail, but not to be invasive. I only take charge when it's my designated time to take charge. I only get close or make suggestions before a moment happens, for example, suggesting where to stand before putting on your dress, not during.

- Clients before portfolios. I've worked with vendors who have pressured couples into doing poses they didn't want to do, even when the couple is obviously annoyed or has told them it's not what they want. This drives me crazy! I want to capture who YOU are. If it ain't you, let's skip it.

- Easy bookings. Planning a wedding can be a lot on a couple's plate, I don't want to add too much to it so I try to keep my booking process as simple as possible.

- Teamwork makes the dreamwork. There is a lot of value in having a team-oriented mindset with all of the other vendors at a wedding, we should all be focused on how to make a couple's dreams come true and be helping each other achieve that goal.

- Timelines need time. I truly believe this to be one of the most undervalued and overlooked parts of a wedding day. So many couples want to jam-pack their wedding day with as many things as possible into as little time as possible. The key to enjoying your wedding day is having time for everything. Time for transitions. Time for things to fall behind schedule. Time to simply enjoy a moment and not be rushed to the next thing. I promise you will not be bored on your wedding day.
