WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO MODEL
FOR THIS PHOTO SHOOT?
Savannah: I’ve always wanted to be a real
bride model, and I had mentioned that to
Real Weddings Magazine editor, Wendy, in
the past—unfortunately, the couple who was
going to be a part of this shoot had to back
out last minute due to COVID-19, and Wendy
called me...thankfully I had just gotten married
earlier this year, and was available for the shoot
(happening the next day), and (voilà) the stars
aligned and I got to be a real bride model!
TELL US ABOUT YOUR MODELING
EXPERIENCE. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE
PART OF THE DAY? HOW DID YOU FEEL
AFTERWARD?
Savannah: I absolutely loved this whole
experience. I am so used to being behind
the camera and having pictures taken of my
desserts as part of my business, Savannahs
Savory Sweets. It was so much fun working with
everyone and seeing the creative process from
another side. After the shoot, I was ready to
go out and party—I felt so glamorous.
I didn’t have a favorite part—it was all
amazing. I absolutely loved the concept
and the beauty in the venue and how
rustic yet beautiful it all was.
IF YOU COULD OFFER ANY
ADVICE TO ENGAGED
COUPLES, WHAT WOULD IT
BE?
Savannah: Simply enjoy
each other and being
engaged; there is no rush, and try
not to overthink things. Enjoy the little
moments spent planning and sharing a beautiful
wedding day with your partner. OO
