Meet Rob & Jill

Husband-and-wife photographers capturing love stories in St. Augustine since 2010

Rob and Jill Futrell, St. Augustine photographers

The Short Version

We're Rob and Jill—a husband-and-wife photography team based in St. Augustine, Florida. We've been working together since 2010, and in that time, we've photographed 600+ weddings and 2,500+ sessions of all kinds.

Our style? Think of Rob as the golden retriever of the duo—he brings the energy, keeps everyone laughing, and makes sure you actually enjoy being in front of a camera. Jill is the calm presence who notices the quiet moments everyone else misses—the way your grandmother wipes away a tear, or how your partner looks at you when they think no one's watching.

Together, we cover more ground, catch more moments, and make the whole experience feel less like a photo shoot and more like hanging out with friends who happen to have cameras.

Rob Futrell, St. Augustine wedding photographer

About Rob

Before picking up a camera professionally, Rob spent a decade as a software engineer at a major financial institution, specializing in high-volume transaction systems. That technical background shows in his approach to photography—he's meticulous about lighting, obsessive about getting the shot right, and genuinely excited about the craft.

Rob grew up on Florida's Treasure Coast with an early fascination for technology and electronics. He discovered his calling when he photographed his first wedding while helping a friend—and never looked back.

These days, Rob handles primary photography and lighting for most sessions. He's known for his energy, his ability to make anyone comfortable in front of a camera, and his unwavering belief that human artistry will always matter more than AI shortcuts. Also: coffee. Lots of coffee.

About Jill

Jill's path to photography started in a completely different field—she trained as an Occupational Therapist before transitioning to photography full-time within two years of Rob's career shift. That healthcare background gave her something invaluable: the ability to read people, put them at ease, and create a calm environment even when everything around her is chaos.

Growing up in South Florida, Jill was inspired by her father's 35mm camera and developed an early love for visual storytelling. Today, she brings an artistic sensibility to every session, with expertise in posing, wardrobe guidance, and capturing those quiet, emotional moments that make photographs feel timeless.

When she's not behind the camera, you'll find Jill practicing yoga, cultivating her ever-growing plant collection, or enjoying live music. She's the reassuring presence that keeps everything running smoothly on your wedding day.

How We Met

A mutual friend tried to set us up on a blind date. We both declined.

Then Jill's mom—persistent as ever—sent Rob an email from her AOL account suggesting they try again.

The rest, as they say, is history. Sometimes mothers really do know best.

How We Got Into Photography

We both grew up captivated by photography, but it wasn't until Jill became pregnant with our first child that Rob committed to mastering modern photography techniques. The goal was simple: document our growing family.

Word spread. Friends asked us to photograph their events. Then friends of friends. Then strangers who found us online. The demand grew until Rob made the leap from his corporate position. Jill followed within a year.

Fifteen years later, we've photographed over 2,500 sessions and delivered more than a million images. Not bad for what started as a way to capture baby photos.

The Futrell Crew

Our family includes two kids (Elizabeth and Ethan), two dogs (Marshall and Indy), one cat (Ziggy), and five ducks. Yes, ducks. They have names. No, we won't list them all here.

St. Augustine isn't just where we work—it's home. We raise our family here, spend our weekends exploring the city, and genuinely love this place. That local connection shows in our work.

Our Holiday Card Tradition

What started in 2012 as a fun way to test Rob's Photoshop skills has turned into a full-blown family tradition. Every year we dream up a new theme—sometimes elaborate, sometimes ridiculous, always a lot of work.

Our friends and family try to guess what we're doing next, and honestly, half the fun is watching them try to figure it out. These cards are a peek at who we are when we're not working: creative, a little quirky, and always up for a good time.

Our Philosophy

"We think weddings, even the planning process, should be fun."

Photography shouldn't feel like a chore. We bring humor, encouragement, and genuine excitement to every session. We want to get to know you—not just photograph you. That personal connection is what transforms good photos into images that actually feel like you.

We're meticulous about details, but we never lose sight of what matters most: capturing authentic moments that you'll treasure for decades.
