Whether you’re planning an engagement session, a proposal, or destination wedding, you’ll find inspiration for where to capture Savannah at its best.
Lafayette Square – A Photogenic Fountain at Its Heart
Named for Marquis de Lafayette, a French hero of the revolutionary War, Lafayette Square is one of Savannah’s most beautiful and photographed locations. Its striking black fountain, a gift to commemorate the city’s 250th anniversary, draws both visitors and locals’ admiration.
Around the square, you’ll find some of Savannah’s most notable architecture. The Andrew Low House–home to the founder of the Girl Scouts and one of the city’s oldest buildings–stands on one side, while the historic Hamilton Turner Inn sits on the other. Wrapped in local lore and rumored hauntings Lafayette Square is often a part a stop on some of Savannah’s popular haunted tours.
Just steps away from the square, is the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. Its iconic twin steeples rise above the treetops, creating a breathtaking backdrop for photos in the area.
The unforgettable beauty of Lafayette Square makes it the perfect location for photos.
