We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Savannah & Greg Herr. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Savannah & Greg below.
Savannah & Greg, appreciate you joining us today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?
Too many couples are stressed out planning a big wedding that ends up being more about the guests than the couple. They end up with a day that doesn’t feel in alignment with their interests and desires, because they didn’t know it was possible to plan anything different than what is traditional.
We photographed large weddings for years and can’t tell you how often couples told us they wish they had just eloped. It broke our hearts that so many couples weren’t excited for their wedding day- especially after how much time, money and energy they had put into planning it.
When we got engaged, we started planning a traditional wedding as well. We were only at the first step, trying to find a wedding venue, when we realized how much we were already dreading planning. That’s when we really took a step back and asked ourselves what our ideal day looked like. What would we be most excited to plan and experience on our wedding day? It ended up being traveling to Italy and eloping in the Alps, just the two of us. So that’s exactly what we did!
Our mission is to inspire other couples to plan a day that is completely authentic to them and provide them with all the tools to bring it into fruition. We help couples find the most beautiful locations in nature for their elopement or micro wedding, create timelines filled with everything they love doing, and of course document every moment of their day.
Because after all.. your engagement and wedding should be exciting, not stressful!
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
We’re Savannah & Greg, a husband and wife photo/video team. We are elopement and intimate wedding experts that guide our clients through the process of planning their day from step one. We help them set a date, find the perfect locations based on an in-depth questionnaire and put together an itinerary for their day.
We specialize in outdoor elopements that showcase the beauty of nature with the raw emotions of a wedding day.
Can you talk to us about how your side-hustle turned into something more.
Savannah has loved photography ever since she can remember and it’s been her favorite hobby her whole life. When she moved from British Columbia, Canada to Georgia, USA she started taking it more seriously by taking small gigs here and there. It quickly grew from a side hustle to her full time business in 2018 when she started photographing weddings.
The photography business grew so quickly that her husband, Greg, would help out on the weekends. Greg grew to love the art of photography and videography and just a year later decided to quit his corporate job to join the business full time.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The best part of our jobs is that we get to use our creativity to document the best and happiest day of peoples lives. We get to create artwork for couples that they’ll look back on and cherish forever.
In our case, as a husband and wife team, we find it rewarding that we get to be creative together. We get to use both of our talents to come together and provide a beautiful result for our clients.
