Rob & Jill | Husband & wife team photographing St. Augustine elopements since 2014.
St. Augustine Locals
Elopement. Micro Wedding. Intimate Wedding Ceremony. Whatever you call it, we love celebrations that center on you. As your St. Augustine elopement photographer, we'll help you pick the perfect spots, the best time of day, and get comfortable in front of the camera — whether it's just the two of you on a quiet beach at sunrise or 30 of your closest people in the Lightner courtyard downtown.
Working together as husband-and-wife gives us an advantage. Rob focuses on the technical side of things while Jill, who is the heart of the operation, makes sure that every detail is perfect, that you feel amazing, and that everything runs on time. An intimate celebration means more meaningful moments: a look, a laugh, the quiet details that can go unnoticed in a bigger, busier day.

Our Approach
A decade of experience, a lifetime of memories
Every couple is different, and that's what keeps this work exciting. We're your guides — whether you want a private exchange of vows tucked between the sand dunes at Anastasia State Park or an intimate celebration in a downtown St. Augustine courtyard, we've been doing this for over a decade. We know the light, the weather patterns, the right spots at every hour. That experience shows in your photos. Our approach is simple: we stay close, we stay quiet, and we capture what's real.

Celebrations
Every version of love, beautifully captured
Whether you call it an elopement, a micro wedding, or a tiny wedding—it's all the same idea: skip the big production and focus on what matters. Two people, a handful of your favorite humans (or none at all), and a day that actually feels like you. We photograph all of them the same way.
We've seen every version of this—courthouse vows with two witnesses, sunset beach celebrations with a dozen guests, and backyard micro weddings with a full dinner afterward. Your photos will look the same whether you invited 5 people or 500.
If you're just starting to plan, our guide covers everything from permits to your timeline. We also offer packages that include officiant services, florals, and day-of coordination—so you can book one team and check everything off your list. Browse our portfolio to see recent couples from the past year.
Already know your ceremony time? Skip the guide and build a 2-hour timeline in 60 seconds.
That's the heart of this work for us: knowing the locations, the permits, and the timing well enough to keep your ceremony intimate while still delivering pictures that feel cinematic.

Not sure which package fits? Most people go with our Classic—it gives enough time for coverage and couple's portraits at two to three locations. If you want a team that handles everything, the All-Inclusive is for you. Check our guide for details, or reach out and we'll help you figure it out.
Most of our couples are planning from out of town, which is why we built the all-inclusive St. Augustine elopement package in the first place. Jill is an ordained officiant, we coordinate florals and boutonnieres, and we take care of permits for beach, park, and downtown locations. After over a decade and 600+ weddings here, we've built relationships with the officiants, florists, and planners who do this well—and we'll connect you with the right people if our All-Inclusive isn't the fit. One planning call with us and your vendor list is done.
Our all-inclusive St. Augustine elopement package is for couples who want to show up, say their vows, and leave with photos they'll love—without building a vendor list from scratch. For $1,300, one call with us handles photography, officiant (Jill is ordained), bridal bouquet and boutonniere, permit assistance for beach or downtown locations, and planning coordination leading up to the day.
It's the right fit if you're planning from out of town, if you don't want to spend three months lining up vendors, or if you just want one person on the other end of the phone to answer questions. If you'd rather handle some pieces yourself—maybe you already have a florist you love, or you want a specific officiant—our Quick or Extended elopement packages let you build your own team while we cover the photography.
FAQ
Common questions about eloping in St. Augustine
We recommend booking 2-3 months in advance for the best selection of dates and times. That said, we've photographed same-week elopements—it never hurts to reach out even with short notice. Peak season (October-May) books faster, so plan accordingly if you have a specific date in mind.
It depends on location. Public beaches and downtown St. Augustine don't require permits for small gatherings. State parks (Anastasia, Washington Oaks), the St. Augustine Lighthouse, and some venues like the Lightner Museum courtyard require permits. We'll help you navigate what's needed based on your chosen spot.
Yes! Florida has no waiting period for out-of-state couples. You can get your marriage license at the St. Johns County Clerk's office and get married the same day. Florida residents have a 3-day waiting period unless you complete a premarital course. We help with destination elopement planning all the time.
Florida weather doesn't always cooperate—we've seen sideways rain hit moments before vows. When that happens, we go into action with solutions, not questions. 'We can wait and see if this blows past, or move to this covered courtyard—it'll actually create a more intimate feel.' Downtown St. Augustine has beautiful backup spots. Afternoon storms typically pass within 30-60 minutes, and some of our favorite light happens right after.
Absolutely. Modern elopements range from just the two of you to 50+ guests. It's about the vibe, not the headcount. Our coverage options work for any size—we'll help you figure out what makes sense for your plans.
We help with everything. Location scouting, timeline building, officiant recommendations, permit guidance, weather backup plans. You focus on getting married; we'll handle the logistics.
Our $1,300 all-inclusive package covers 1 hour of photography coverage with 80-120 edited images, officiant services (Jill is ordained), your bridal bouquet and boutonniere, permit assistance for your chosen location, and planning coordination in the weeks leading up to the day. One planning call with us handles it all—no vendor spreadsheet required.
Our Quick and Extended Elopement packages are photography-only—you book us for coverage and handle the rest (officiant, florals, permits) yourself. The all-inclusive bundles everything into a single $1,300 package so you're working with one point of contact. If you're planning from out of town or want to skip the vendor-sourcing phase, all-inclusive is the move. If you already have vendors you trust, Quick or Extended will save you money.
Honestly, not much. An elopement is typically just the couple (plus a photographer and officiant), while a micro wedding usually includes a small guest list—under 20 or so. The feel is the same either way. We use 'elopement' as shorthand for all of it.
Yes! We photograph elopements throughout Northeast Florida—same team, same style. See our Jacksonville elopement photography and Amelia Island elopement photography pages for details.
“Rob & Jill are the best! They’re very creative, kind, and an overall pleasure to work with. They return photos so quickly with remarkable creativity and individuality. You truly won’t find a pair like Rob & Jill for your photography team.”
“If I could give 100 stars I would. Our wedding was captured so perfectly by Rob and Jill. On our wedding day they were so great, very organized and accommodating but ready to go with the flow if necessary. It really makes a huge difference when you have fantastic vendors at your wedding. We felt like they were part of our family and friends!”
“Rob made our evening! He had amazing energy and captured photos we'd of never thought of! We really enjoyed him so much! Highly recommend using him! His wife, Jill, made things super easy for us from the beginning of the planning process to the end! Absolute BEST!”
“Easy to work with. Made us and our wedding party very comfortable in front of the camera Jill and Rob provide the best overall experience both on wedding day and leading up to it. Jill’s communication is prompt, clear and very detailed. I never felt like a detail was missed. On wedding day we were behind schedule and Jill got us back on track, we didn’t have to cut out a single thing we planned to do. Jill and Rob work seamlessly together, speaking an unspoken language that delivers seamless photo coverage with ease and comfort. I personally am very nervous taking photos and nothing felt forced with these two. Rob has an eye for detail that is bar none. He has a passion for photography but also a passion to capture your perfect day. You feel that immediately when you meet him. They are both so kind. Our guests continue to compliment them to this day. We have only received our previews (delivered several days after the wedding) and I loved every single photo. I can’t wait to see the rest of the gallery. The Futrell team is the best! 10/10!”
“Rob and Jill were amazing to work with! They were communicative, flexible, kind, and just so fun to have with us on our wedding day. They are a super sweet married couple and they work together really well. Also, leading up to our wedding and on the wedding day, they were super organized and kept perfectly to schedule. On the day of our wedding, they were also so fun to have around. After the wedding, my bridal party and friends all raved about how nice our photographers were. We had them take photos for our rehearsal dinner, welcome party, wedding ceremony all the way through the reception. The photos are so beautiful and we will keep them forever. They perfectly captured tons of candid happy moments throughout the day. I highly recommend working with them!!”
“Rob and Jill were AMAZING. I cannot believe all the moments they captured on our wedding! The experience was amazing too. They are so friendly and they just chat with you and make it all feel so effortless. My biggest worry going into it would be that I would not look like myself… but they made everyone feel at ease and comfortable. I never have felt good at taking pictures. But these are BEAUTIFUL. The wedding gallery (all the photos taken) we got in two months and they are amazing. They captured one of the BEST moments of my life in a way that I will never forget. They are good people. Kind. And caring. They think of all the little details that we just don’t know about. 100/10 recommend.”
“Best team around! Thank you to Rob and Jill for the amazing engagement photos, newborn family photos, and wedding photos. I could not have picked a better team to capture the unforgettable memories. They made us feel like family, o accommodated our schedules, and helped each of our special events run so smoothly. I cannot recommend them enough. I hope to work with them more in the future for all our events.”

“When we decided to elope, I had no clue where to start. We reached out to Jill & Rob based on reviews for photography, but they were so much more than that! Jill was so very helpful in so much of the planning for our very intimate elopement ceremony and made everything so easy and stress free! I was not sure what pictures I really needed or wanted, so I trusted them to guide us and got some of the most beautiful pictures of us and our (grown) kids! By the end of the wedding and pictures, we felt that we had known them forever! I will be forever grateful for everything!”
“We have beautiful photos from our family session with Rob & Jill. They are very talented and just wonderful people. We had so much fun! They have done our engagement, wedding, and pregnancy photos and most recently our family of four.”
“We have been friends with Rob & Jill for quite some time, so it was an easy decision to hire them for our son’s wedding, and it was the best decision! Their ability to find beautiful spaces in the natural beauty around them is unmatched, and the way they so graceful and wonderfully captured the essence of the couple, our families, and our friends was amazing. They exhibit the utmost professionalism without losing the fun, which was one of our favorite parts about working with them. We highly recommend Rob & Jill, not only as the best choice for wedding photographers, but also as the most wonderful human beings. Hire them - you won’t regret it.”
“Jill and Rob went above and beyond to give us the opportunity to keep every single moment of our special day captured on beautiful pictures. We got married on a very windy day, but they did an extraordinary job to get the right angle and exact moment so our photos were just perfect. We appreciate their warm guidance letting us enjoy every second we shared with our love ones while they did their magic. Thank you for joining us on our wedding day!”
