Savanna Marleé Photography

A little About Savanna Marlee - That's me!

Marleé is my middle name, pronounced Mar-lay. 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 traditional weddings and adventure elopements, I can't imagine only doing one or the other!

I am a born and raised Washatonian but I love traveling to new places for weddings; I've been to Oregon, Alaska, and of course, all over Washington so don't let distance stop you from reaching out! Rumor has it I get teary-eyed at a lot of the weddings I photograph and I use way too many exclamation points and smiley faces in my emails...Get ready.

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 water holes, cooking recipes from every culture possible, hiking, rope swings, waterfalls, mountains any time of year, and of course, my dog, Argo, who mostly 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 may suggest facing a certain way before you cut your cake, or something quick and of that nature, but 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.

- Clients before portfolios. I've worked with vendors who have pressured couples into doing things 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, vendors should never be the cause of stress, discomfort, or late timelines.

-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.
