Kaitlyn and Harrison’s wedding at Crane Cottage brought together the historic character of Jekyll Island with a celebration that felt personal and unhurried. From the gardens and courtyard to the quieter moments shared with family and friends, the day unfolded with a strong sense of place — and photographs that hold both the setting and the people at the center of it.

"We are speechless! and we could not be more impressed!! We’ve already spent hours looking at everything and have had the biggest smiles on our faces the whole time. "

"The first thing that drew us to them is their clean photography style. I loved that actual film was a big part of their process. "
— megan & rajal
"Getting our photos taken is not super natural for us so having chill photographers who don't stress you out and are able to give clear directions while making you laugh was key. "
— megan & rajal
"The photos came out better than I would have ever expected. Oh and adding the video was the other best decision we made. Derrek did a fabulous job editing the hours of footage into a highlight reel that makes us look much cooler than we actually are."
Kaitlyn and Harrison’s Crane Cottage Wedding on Jekyll Island
Crane Cottage at the Jekyll Island Club Resort is one of the most distinctive wedding venues on Jekyll Island, Georgia. Built in the Italian Renaissance style and set among gardens, mature trees, and historic architectural details, it gives a wedding weekend a strong sense of place — from the sunken garden and reflecting pool to the courtyard and cottage interiors.
Kaitlyn and Harrison’s celebration showed how naturally the property can hold a full day: soft morning light in the gardens, shaded courtyards for midday portraits, and that quieter, warmer light as evening settles over the island. With guest rooms and gathering spaces on site, Crane Cottage often feels less like a single venue stop and more like a destination weekend shared with family and friends.
As Jekyll Island wedding photographers, we look for that balance — historic setting and coastal atmosphere on one side, honest moments and relationships on the other. Their day is a beautiful example of both.
If you’re planning a wedding at Crane Cottage or elsewhere on Jekyll Island, we’d love to hear what you’re envisioning.
