Vermont Wedding: Cheryl and Billy at Topnotch Resort in Stowe

Although Cheryl was born and raised in New Hampshire, she lived in San Diego for three years after college. So needless to say, we definitely hit it off with our love for SoCal (and our San Diego cell phone numbers we both hold on to.) Cheryl and Billy traveled from New Hampshire to get married at Topnotch Resort in Stowe, Vermont. They really could not have asked for more perfect fall weather for their romantic wedding!

Cheryl got ready for her big day in her private suite with her bridesmaids. Cheryl’s dress was one for the books – the amount of detail and lace put into the design was breathtaking! She had two first looks, one with her dad (talk about all the happy tears) and one with her future husband, Billy. We made sure to get plenty of portraits on the deck and immersed in the trees before everyone took their places for the ceremony.

Cheryl and Billy got married under a gorgeous natural wood pergola surrounded by their friends and family. Their glamorous wedding celebration continued on the lawn with a clear tent, lounge furniture, tiny succulents, and a gold disco ball hanging from greenery leaves. The guest enjoyed delicious food and crafty cocktails while literally dancing under the stars.

Hi, I’m Savannah

Originally from sunny Southern California, I’ve found my heart—and my home—in the charm of Vermont. It’s a long story (best shared over coffee or cocktails), but let’s just say Stowe won me over fast. With its cozy, cinematic beauty, it truly feels like living in a Hallmark movie.

They got married in the coolest old church — creaky wooden floors, stained glass, and so much charm. Then we wandered over to the capitol building for portraits, where the green trees and golden dome made the perfect backdrop.

Honestly just one of those days that felt easy, meaningful, and full of love. So happy I got to be a part of it. 💛

  • Quite possibly the most magical thing I’ve ever done!  I can’t recommend this unforgettable experience enough. 

If you’re looking for an addition to your bucket list, add a hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia, Turkey. Trust me, it’s unreal!

April is supposed to be in the low 60s… but we got snow and temps under 20°. Balloon rides were canceled the two days before, and on our last morning there (with a flight back to Istanbul that same afternoon) we somehow snagged a spot.

Our balloon pilot mentioned it was his first time flying with snow in April. So yes, we were COLD—but floating over snow-dusted fairy chimneys was absolutely worth it.

Got questions? hit me up—I’ve got all the tips for this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

  • Well hey there—remember me?

It’s my 41st birthday today (yes, forty-freakin’-one), and I thought: what better time to pop back onto your feed than while jet-lagged and slightly unhinged after just landing in Istanbul?

I’m Savannah—photographer of all things heartfelt, chaotic, and beautiful: families, tiny humans, mamas-to-be, lovebirds, and the always iconic high school seniors. Basically, if you’re living life and feeling feelings, I want to photograph it.

I haven’t shown my face around here in a while (because, you know… life), but here’s a brand new headshot from a recent swap with the amazing @sarahpeetphotography. Proof that I do, in fact, exist—and sometimes even brush my hair.

When I’m not behind the lens, you can usually find me plotting my next passport stamp. Just touched down in Istanbul, and yes—I’m already thinking about where I’m headed next. Wanderlust is my love language.

Thanks for being here in my cozy, chaotic little corner of Instagram. Stick around—things are just getting fun.

Also, shout out to @dayhaus.co for hosting us and creating the perfect backdrop for this shoot!
  • Snow-covered landscapes create pure magic, and this weekend might be your last chance to capture that dreamy winter vibe! ❄️ As the seasons shift, the snow fades, leaving behind only memories. 

Friday has snow in the forecast—so if you’ve been dreaming of photos in a winter wonderland, now’s the time.

These snowy moments won’t last forever. Ready to make them yours?
