Elopement
Wedding. Micro Wedding. Elopement.
We've photographed elopements so intimate that we've served as witnesses. Some take place in a St. Augustine backyard, others atop a mountain (far from St. Augustine). What we love about elopements is their slower pace—longer hugs, deeper conversations, and moments that feel profoundly meaningful.
Typically, we capture the pre-ceremony anticipation, like finishing touches and heartfelt hugs, followed by the ceremony itself and the post-ceremony celebration. We include formal photos with family and friends, plus intimate couples’ portraits. Occasionally, we document cake cuttings or special dances. Our goal is to tell the love story you’ve always dreamed of, beautifully and authentically.

Client Reviews & Testimonials
Grace S.
Another reviewer said it best when she said: They go the extra mile in every sense. Rob and Jill Futrell's team has photography expertise but also the best client service and communication. Their photos of our wedding are exquisite and not only did they capture the emotion of the wedding, but they did it in the best technical sense. They can work with pretty much any type of lighting (these two photos being an example). I would recommend these two again and again, and I'm beyond thankful that I have these photos to cherish for the rest of my life. I'll really never be able to thank Rob and Jill enough.

Absolutely incredible! Rob and Jill exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding photography. From the engagement shoot to the final delivery of our wedding photos, their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were second to none.
On the wedding day, they were a calm and reassuring presence, expertly guiding us through poses and capturing candid moments with ease. But most importantly, the photos themselves are STUNNING. Each image tells a story, capturing the joy, love, and emotion of our special day in a way that we will treasure forever. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

We chose Photos by Rob Futrell as our wedding photographer and Jill and Rob exceeded our expectations. They manage to make you feel like you have known them for ages, so there is no awkwardness at all. In addition, they respect special requests and wishes and are very flexible when it comes to the schedule, timing and place.
You can truly see that they are experienced professionals in the finished pictures and that they care about their costumers and their satisfaction.

From the moment we met him, his friendliness and excitement for us and our big day really stood out. He made the entire process enjoyable, keeping us relaxed and laughing while capturing the most beautiful moments. His passion for what he does truly shows in the photos, and we are beyond grateful for the memories he captured so perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, energetic, and personable professional!

We were super nervous about getting professional photos done, as it was way outside my and my husbands comfort zone, but Rob and Jill made it SO easy. We were immediately comfortable with them, and our pictures turned out amazing. I truly can’t stop looking through them all and seeing all the happiness we felt that day captured through a camera lens.

So thankful to have worked with Rob and Jill Futrell for my wedding! They were so knowledgeable about St. Augustine and even recommended a place for me and the bridesmaids to stay and get ready. They were SO helpful in planning the timeline for the day, and they kept everything so fun and comfortable. They got me and my husband our wedding gallery in a timely manner and were happy to make any changes I wanted. Absolutely in love with our photos and would love to work with them again in the future!
