Description:
Built on a bluff overlooking the river, Savannah's checkerboard of squares continues to enchant. With 55 color photographs and correlated poems, Megan Jones and Christopher Soucy capture the beauty of Savannah's squares and Forsyth Park.
Brief description: In 2018, Megan Jones and Christopher Soucy were married in Forsyth Park in front of Savannah's iconic fountain. These two creatives - known locally and beyond for their ongoing support of the arts - then decided to combine their talents and craft this book as an ode to their love of Savannah and the city's past, present, and posterity. Megan hails from Northbrook, Illinois, and a family of artists. After moving to Savannah to study at SCAD, she first applied her passion for photography to the business of matrimony, helping others capture cherished memories of their weddings and elopements. With a deep appreciation of aesthetics, her repertoire and reputation has continued to expand. Her landscapes (of her new home and beyond) are iconic, and in 2017, she launched Savannah Glamour - a female-focused studio that specializes in glamour, pinup, and boudoir portraiture and encourages women to see themselves in a different, gentler light against the most beautiful backdrops Savannah has to offer. Savannah Glamour has won awards for the "Best Portrait Studio," and Megan has been recognized as one of the top boudoir photographers in the South and the world. Turning her philogyny and camera toward the Hostess City of the South, Megan photographed all the squares of Savannah.
