A Timeless Savannah Wedding at Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum

Lena and Terry’s wedding at Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum in Savannah was a perfect balance of timeless elegance and genuine fun, perfectly reflecting their personalities and love. With a sophisticated color palette of classic black, delicate pink and dusty rose, their wedding was elegant and refined. Terry looked dashing in a white tuxedo with bold black accents, which photographed beautifully next to Lena’s stunning gown featuring a delicate lace overlay.

An Elegant Backdrop at Ships of the Sea

The Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum was a beautiful choice for their wedding venue. The historic Scarbrough House was provided a grand and elegant backdrop as the couple exchanged vows. Its towering columns and stately architecture created opportunities for vivid portraits.

Following the ceremony, Lena and Terry explored the breathtaking gardens surrounding the house–the largest private gardens in Savannah. Filled with Southern favorites like camellias, azaleas and magnolias, Lena and Terry shared a quiet moment for portraits before joining their guests.

A Fun-Filled Cocktail Hour with Southern Charm

The couple’s love of laughter and fun was the heart of their day and seen in every detail. Guests enjoyed a memorable cocktail hour featuring mini-golf, alongside a Southern favorite, freshly shucked oysters. Laughter and cheers filled the air during toasts, reflecting friendship and the love Lena and Terry shared.

As the night unfolded, Lena transformed her look with a chic dancing dress, completed by a feather-accented fan. The couple danced the night away, enjoying every moment of their unforgettable Ships of the Sea wedding in Savannah. It was a privilege to capture each moment and details of their spectacular day.

Congratulations Terry and Lena! We wish you a lifetime of happiness.
