About Dylan Wilson Weddings:

Dylan Wilson Weddings provides high end wedding photography in a photojournalistic style to couples in Savannah, Hilton Head, Charleston, or anywhere else in the world.

My name is Dylan Wilson, and I am a photographer originally from Athens, Georgia. After working in New York City, I have recently relocated to Savannah, Georgia. I graduated from the University of Georgia’s esteemed Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication with a degree in photojournalism and film studies, and since 2005 I have worked as a professional photojournalist throughout the East Coast.

My photographic journey began in high school where I was the chief photographer for the school’s yearbook. Later, I worked for The Telegraph in Macon, Georgia; Patuxent Publishing Company in Columbia, Maryland and the New York Post in New York, New York.

My work has appeared in the New York Post, The Newark Star Ledger and The Washington Times, and my wedding photos have been featured in New York Magazine’s special New York Weddings issue.

During my time in New York, I discovered that my true passion lay in taking wedding pictures. So many memories are created on a wedding day – from the first time a groom sees his bride to the first kiss between husband and wife and a father’s dance with his daughter for the “last time,” every wedding is full of memories that will last a lifetime. I believe that there is real beauty in all of the moments, no matter how big or how small, and the story, both the scripted and unscripted parts, which plays out over the course of the day. Providing a gift that will last forever, and to do so in a way that is artful and creative, is something that I take great pride in and find incredibly rewarding.

I understand the needs and wants of a bride and groom. I have worked closely with hundreds of couples. My laid-back style and keen eye for photography helps me to create perfect pictures for each couple. By combining my style as a photojournalist with traditional weddings photographs, I bring a fresh, candid look to your wedding.

Dylan Wilson Weddings offers a unique photography package to each and every couple. I understand that each couple is different, so I want to spend time discovering what you want for your special day.I am based in Savannah, Georgia but am willing to travel anywhere for your special day.



This is who I am…

Finding the right wedding photographer involves many factors. Certainly price and availability should factor into your decision, but I think that style and personality are just as, if not more, important in your final choice.

Photographers come from all kinds of different backgrounds. Some have formal training in schools; some are commercial or art photographers; some photographers work in newspapers or magazines.

These are all things that you should consider: What kind of aesthetic do you have? What do you want your wedding pictures to look like? Do you want mostly formal portraits or mostly candids? Is your look more formal and traditional? Edgy?

Finding the wedding photographer that matches you best is a very important step in the planning process. These pictures are going to last forever, and it’s important that you are happy with the results.

I shot this picture while I was a student at the University of Georgia.

This photo was taken while I was working at The Telegraph in Macon, GA.

Personally, I come from a newspaper background. I studied photojournalism at the University of Georgia and, shortly after graduation, I began working my way up the East coast at different newspapers. By the time I was 24, I was working at the 7th largest newspaper in the country – the New York Post.

Everyday I was roaming the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan, camera in hand, covering the hard news stories of the day. This included photographing, among other things, celebrities, plane crashes, and opening day at the new Yankees Stadium. It was an exciting time.

It was during this time that I also started my career as a wedding photographer.

This picture was taken at the first wedding I ever photographed. Alex and Eleanor were married on a beautiful cliff overlooking the Hudson River in the Bronx. I used the skills that I had learned as a photojournalist to cover the day.

My style focuses on the candid and little moments of the day. Details are very important to me, and I am constantly looking for another angle or something that no one else sees. This doesn’t mean that I don’t take formal or traditionally posed photos. I do. However, I tend to think that people look best when they are being natural. Besides, there are so many fun things going on during your wedding day. Who wants to waste a lot of time posing for a lot of pictures?

I encourage you to look at lots of different wedding photographers. All of them have different styles, and some may fit your aesthetic more than others. Considering these factors will ensure that you are totally happy with your wedding photos.
