Intimate Savannah Backyard Wedding

There’s something so effortlessly romantic about a wedding that feels like home—and that’s exactly what Kasey and Ashley created for their special day. Set against the peaceful backdrop of the marsh and tucked into a private backyard in Savannah, this Intimate Savannah Backyard Wedding celebration was intimate, classic, and filled with so much warmth.

Relaxed, Genuine, and Southern Rainstorm Surprise

From the start, Ashley and Kasey brought both heart and laughter to every moment they shared together. Their love felt relaxed, genuine, and full of fun, and their wedding reflected that in every thoughtful detail. They chose to skip a large bridal party and focused on what truly mattered—being surrounded by their closest people.

They exchanged private vows out on the dock, overlooking the peaceful, sweeping marsh views.
In true Southern fashion, a surprise rainstorm rolled in just as they began to speak. Kasey’s dad stepped in with umbrellas and a lighthearted grin that lifted the moment. Hair and makeup stayed flawless, thanks to good humor and great prep. Thankfully the storm passed just as fast as it arrived, giving way to glowing skies and sunshine.

Soft blue linens, delicate florals, and crystal glassware make the best Intimate Savannah Backyard Wedding

Niki Blackwell from Sultan + Co brought Kasey and Ashley’s vision to life with timeless Southern charm.

A soft palette of sky blue, crisp white, and lush green set a calm, classic tone. Blue patterned linens, delicate florals, and crystal-clear glassware brought elegance with a relaxed charm. Graceful lounge areas faced the marsh and blended comfort with effortless style. A romantic sailcloth tent held wooden chairs and flickering candlelight, adding warmth and intimacy. Every intentional detail transformed the backyard into a sophisticated celebration space. Because of all this, Kasey and Ashley’s day mirrored a scene straight out of Southern Living.

A ceremony and reception beneath moss-draped oaks

Kasey and Ashley exchanged vows beneath a grand oak tree, overlooking the peaceful Savannah marsh—a truly breathtaking backdrop. Guests enjoyed cocktail hour poolside, sipping drinks and savoring appetizers the private chef carefully prepared.

The sailcloth tent featured soft blue linens, taper candles, and elegant floral arrangements for the reception.Warm lighting and thoughtful details created a space that felt both refined and welcoming.
Guests celebrated love, community, and comfort with every bite of food and every sip of wine

Blending history, romance, and southern backdrops for dreamy portraits

Ashley and Kasey’s portraits were a breathtaking blend of nature and classic Savannah charm. Their Intimate Savannah Backyard Wedding began with a quiet moment on the deep-water dock, surrounded by the serene beauty of the marsh—a meaningful location for their private vows. Later, just a short drive away, we explored the timeless grounds of Bethesda Academy. The grand oaks and draping Spanish moss offered the perfect backdrop for those romantic, old-world portraits that Savannah is so known for.
