Jacksonville Elopement Photographer
About Us
Hi, we're Rob & Jill
We're Rob and Jill — a husband-and-wife team who've been photographing elopements around Jacksonville and St. Augustine since 2014. We're parents and St. Augustine locals, and after more than a decade we still chase that Florida light: the way it pours through the oak canopies and glows off the old coquina walls.
Our approach is easygoing and documentary. Rob sees light and angles like the engineer he used to be; Jill reads the room and knows just when you need a quiet minute. We're there to capture your day the way it actually feels — the belly laughs, the happy tears, the small in-between moments — not to stage it.

Popular Jacksonville Elopement Locations
From the courthouse to the coast
As your Jacksonville elopement photographer, we've covered the First Coast's best spots for intimate ceremonies—from quiet stretches of sand at sunrise to oak-shaded parks along the river. Here are our favorites:
Duval County Courthouse
Simple, affordable, and meaningful. Get legally married in downtown Jacksonville with quick courthouse photos. Then we'll head to a nearby spot for portraits. Many couples also take waterfront photos at the Riverwalk or casual shots at their favorite restaurant.
Jacksonville Beach
Sunrise ceremonies with the Atlantic as your backdrop. Less crowded than many Florida beaches, with beautiful dunes, sea oats, and a relaxed coastal vibe that feels effortlessly romantic.
Ponte Vedra Beach
Upscale oceanfront with pristine sand and a polished coastal feel. The TPC Sawgrass area offers iconic views, and the quieter stretches of beach south of the pier are perfect for intimate, private ceremonies.
Amelia Island
A perfect elopement spot on Florida's northeast coast. Downtown Fernandina Beach has beautiful Victorian buildings—including historic inns like the Fairbanks House—while clean beaches and the Ritz-Carlton offer elegant places for your ceremony. See our Amelia Island guide →
Downtown Jacksonville
Urban elopements with skyline views along the St. Johns River. The Riverwalk, Friendship Fountain, and Cummer Museum gardens offer variety within walking distance—great for couples who want a mix of city and nature in their portraits.
Atlantic Beach
Laid-back beach town energy with a local feel. Town Center has its own charm for quick portraits, and the beach itself is wide and welcoming—perfect for sunset ceremonies without the crowds you'd find further south.

Why Us
Why Couples Choose Us for Jacksonville Elopements
A husband-and-wife team who make the day easy
Two Photographers, One Vision
You get both of us at every elopement. Rob captures the wide shots and dramatic moments; Jill catches the quiet details and candid emotions. After years of working together, we move seamlessly without direction.
Local Knowledge
We've been photographing the First Coast since 2014. We know where the light is best at every hour, which beaches are crowded when, the hidden spots that don't show up on Instagram, and how the tide schedule shapes any waterfront ceremony. For couples eyeing the courthouse, we also know which afternoons run quiet enough that you'll have the front steps to yourselves for portraits afterward.
More Than Just Photos
We help with location scouting, timing recommendations, officiant referrals, and weather backup plans. Most of our couples travel here for their elopement — we make the logistics easy, including the Duval County marriage license timing (Florida has a three-day waiting period for residents, waived for out-of-state couples) and where to grab dinner reservations after the ceremony.
Fast Turnaround
Elopement galleries delivered within 2 weeks. You won't be waiting months to see your images.
