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.



Natural Light

The Brooklyn Botanical Garden

One of the great things about being a wedding photographer in Savannah is the abundance of outdoor space.  The Fountain in Forysth Park, the Squares, and Tybee Island all offer couples amazing outdoor venues. Even the red bricks and Spanish moss on Jones Street offer an amazing backdrop for a bride and groom (Yes, I’m slightly biased because this is the street I live on. However, I did pass a tour guide the other day who called Jones Street “The most beautiful residential street in Savannah”).

Couples in New York are not so lucky…

I’ve had the good fortune to photograph some truly amazing New York wedding venues. Capitale on the Bowery, the Angel Orensanz Center, and the Metropolitan Building are all examples of the grandeur that New York offers.

But even more luxurious, and at a higher premium, is outdoor space. With a few exceptions, outdoor spaces big enough to host a wedding party simply don’t exist. Add to the fact that New York weather is often unpredictable, and any outdoor activities quickly become more trouble than they are worth.

Not even New York...This is at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston.

As a photographer, I love to work outdoors. The availability of natural light frees me up to use faster shutter speeds, greater depth of field, and longer lenses. There is also more space to move around and find new, and different, angles. In short, I can be as creative as I want.

Down the Jersey Shore...Snooki, Jwoww, and The Situation were nowhere in sight.

So if you’re getting married in Savannah, consider yourself lucky. Think about all the different ways that you can incorporate outdoor areas in our beautiful city into your special day. Just remember, it’s awfully hot here in the summer. Have plenty of Chatham Artillery Punch and mint juleps on hand!
