From A Photographer
Getting Married In Camden County
Camden is the southern end of the Georgia coast, and couples planning a St. Marys or Cumberland Island wedding often find it here first. Camden is strict on ID. Two forms each, from a list that includes a driver's license, certified birth certificate, military ID, an unexpired weapons carry license or a passport.
On the wedding day I photograph the license signing the same way I photograph the rings, close and unhurried, with your officiant's hands and pens in the frame. If you want that moment covered, tell me when you check your date with me.
What To Bring
- Both of you, in person
- Proof of age, such as a driver's license or passport
- A certified divorce decree or death certificate if either of you was married before
- Your premarital education certificate, if you have one
- The fee, in a form this court accepts
The full list is on the documents checklist.
