Photography is allowed at the St. Johns County Courthouse—and those moments deserve more than phone pictures. A courthouse wedding photographer captures the authentic emotions: the nervous excitement, the tearful vows, the first kiss as a married couple. These images become the story you'll share for years.
We've photographed weddings at this courthouse for over a decade and know every angle. A professional photographer also knows how to handle the tricky indoor lighting and can scout the best spots for portraits afterward—we handle all the logistics so you can focus on each other.
Many of the weddings we photograph here are intimate—just the couple, maybe a few loved ones. That makes every frame count. After the courthouse, most couples head downtown to the historic district for an hour of portraits at locations like the Lightner Museum, the Bayfront, or the cobblestone streets of the old city. A skilled wedding photographer turns a simple courthouse day into a full collection of images you'll treasure.
Before you even leave the property, there are three spots we love for portraits:
- The inner hallway: An arched walkway in the courtyard with soft window light that creates natural depth and frames couples beautifully
- The front pergolas: Rustic wood pergolas at the entrance surrounded by palm trees and greenery—a completely different feel from the indoor spaces
- The inner courtyard: An open green space with mature trees, grass, and rock brick pavers—relaxed and natural
- The Lightner Museum courtyard: Spanish Renaissance architecture, lush greenery, and that iconic reflecting pool
- The Square (Plaza de la Constitucion): Shady oaks, historic charm, and the heart of the old city
- The Bayfront: Views of the Bridge of Lions, Matanzas Bay, and the marina—golden hour here is unbeatable
- Fort Mose Historic State Park: A wooded path, marsh walkway, and floating dock with open water views—just minutes away
- St. Augustine Beach: Sunset sessions for couples who want that coastal look
Both parties must be at least 18 (17 with parental consent). If either party was previously wed, you'll need to know the date of the final decree. Florida has no citizenship or residency requirements.
Florida residents can save $32.50 on the license fee AND skip the 3-day waiting period by completing an approved 4-hour course, often available online. Check the Clerk's website for approved providers.
Out-of-state couples: No waiting period—you can get your license and say "I do" the same day.
One of the biggest advantages of a court wedding is the price. Here's the complete breakdown:
Arrive 15 minutes early, check in at the Clerk of Courts window with your license and photo ID, then wait briefly in a designated area. A notary performs the civil service in about 5-10 minutes—you'll exchange vows, rings if you have them, and seal it with a kiss. Afterward, sign your license, pay the $30.00 fee, and order certified copies for name changes and legal purposes.
The municipal courthouse handles hundreds of weddings each year, so the staff knows the drill. Don't let the simplicity fool you—couples who get married here are just as moved as those with big productions. We've seen tears, laughter, and everything in between. As your wedding photographer, we capture every reaction so you can relive it later. A courthouse wedding may be short, but the photos tell a full story.
- Your marriage license
- Photo ID for both parties
- $30.00 service fee (cash or card)
- Rings (if exchanging)
- Your vows (if you've written your own)
- Your wedding photographer
- Comfortable walking shoes for portraits afterward (St. Augustine has cobblestone streets)

You're married—now what? Most couples spend 1-2 hours taking portraits in the historic district with their wedding photographer, then head to a celebratory lunch. The courthouse is a short drive from downtown, so it's easy to fit in multiple portrait locations. Within 1-2 weeks, handle name changes with Social Security, your driver's license, banks, and insurance. Some couples also plan a separate beach celebration or reception on another date—locking in the legal paperwork at the courthouse first and celebrating with friends and family on their own timeline. We've photographed weddings where the couple did exactly that, and the courthouse photos are always among their favorites.
The courthouse provides a notary for the civil service, but if you'd rather have someone who knows your story, Jill is a licensed officiant. Either way, we help coordinate the full timeline—from the vows through portraits in the historic district—so you're not figuring out logistics on your wedding day.
A lot of what we photograph at the courthouse is really a courthouse elopement—just the couple, maybe a witness, keeping it simple and personal. For those couples, we help plan the full experience: the best time of day to arrive, where to take wedding pictures afterward, and how to turn a 10-minute legal formality into a day that actually feels like yours. If you want to add a sunset beach session or grab dinner in the historic district, we can help map that out too.

Courthouse Wedding Photographer FAQ
Common questions about weddings, costs, and photography at the St. Johns County Courthouse
Two steps: (1) Obtain a Florida marriage license from the St. Johns County Clerk of Courts, and (2) Have a licensed officiant make it official. You can say 'I do' at the courthouse, on the beach, at a venue, or anywhere in Florida. The courthouse offers a civil service performed by a notary—the quickest and most affordable option.
Total cost at the St. Johns County Courthouse is approximately $123.50, including the marriage license fee ($93.50) and the $30 service fee. Florida residents who complete a premarital course pay just $91 total. It's one of the most affordable ways to make it official.
No, appointments are not required. The St. Johns County Courthouse accepts walk-ins for civil services Monday through Friday during business hours. That said, calling ahead is still a good idea—especially during busy seasons—so you know what to expect when you arrive.
Florida residents have a 3-day waiting period after obtaining their license. This is waived if you complete a premarital preparation course. Out-of-state couples have no waiting period—you can get your license and tie the knot the same day, making St. Augustine perfect for destination elopements.
Both parties must appear in person with: (1) Valid government-issued photo ID, (2) Social Security numbers, (3) Payment ($93.50, or $61 with premarital course). If previously wed, you'll need divorce decree dates or death certificate information. No blood tests or witnesses required in Florida.
Yes. The space is intimate, so most couples bring 2-10 guests. There's no official limit, but room is limited—contact the Clerk's office if you're planning a larger group.
Yes! Photography is allowed at the St. Johns County Courthouse. Many couples hire a portrait photographer to capture the event and take photos outside the historic building. The architecture and nearby historic district provide beautiful backdrops.
There's no dress code. Couples wear everything from jeans to full attire. Many brides opt for a simple white dress or elegant jumpsuit. Grooms often wear dress pants and a button-down. Wear whatever makes you feel like yourselves.
What Couples Say About Their Wedding Photographer
275+ five-star reviews from weddings and events we've photographed
"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!"
"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!"
"Rob, Jill, and their whole team were incredible. They captured our wedding at the Embassy Suites beautifully and made the entire experience feel effortless. They were kind, professional, and easy to work with from start to finish. One thing that really meant a lot to us was the live streaming they set up for the family who couldn’t attend. It let everyone feel included, and we’re grateful for the care they put into it. Our photos and videos came out amazing, and they caught moments we didn’t even realize were happening. You can tell they love what they do. If you're looking for a team that delivers great work and treats your day with real care, Rob, Jill, and their crew are the ones to trust. Highly recommend."
"I don’t even know where to start with Rob and Jill! Working in weddings I have worked with them in the past but being on the other side gave me an entirely new appreciation for them. Their communication is amazing and they are so flexible with meetings, creating timelines, and changes. From the moment they walked in they instantly made me feel calm on my wedding day. Posing for photos can feel awkward if you aren’t used to it but they do it in such a fun way that you just feel so natural with them. They don’t make you feel like just another couple as they truly care about each and every one of their clients. When I was feeling stressed they would see it and stepped in to make sure that I was feeling good without anyone else realizing that is what they were doing. There is so much going on during a wedding and it’s nice to have someone completely be there for you and your spouse. The moment I opened my gallery tears came to my eyes. They captured our day with so much love and I literally cannot stop looking at the pictures! Thank you will never be enough as they are truly the best!"
"Look no further for wedding photographers. Rob and Jill were, hands down, the BEST vendors we worked with for our wedding. They were prompt, organized, accurate, kind, fun, and *incredibly* talented. From scheduling touch points and providing a detailed timeline of shots to wrangling family for photos and capturing the magic of the day, Rob and Jill made our day unforgettable. We are so thankful for them during such an emotional (and somewhat stressful) day. Rob showed such empathy when he could tell I was getting overwhelmed at moments, and Jill was considerate in helping me establish boundaries for requests from other people. I could write more, but it's clear from the raving reviews that Rob and Jill are *the* choice for any wedding/event photography."
"Rob and Jill were amazing to work with. They won us over from our initial zoom call and continued to meet and exceed all of our expectations. They provided insight and expertise on our wedding photos in an arena we were inexperienced in. It rained and we were still able to take outdoor photos and they both hung in with us despite the elements. Couldn’t have asked for anyone more kind and welcoming. Thank you again so much!"
"Rob and Jill captured the essence of our beautiful day . Thank you!"
"From start to finish- Amazing! We would highly recommend Photos by Rob! Rob did both our engagement and wedding photos and we are so happy with how everything came out. Both Rob and Jill are great to work with. They put us at ease during sessions and made us both feel comfortable. They go above and beyond to make sure you get exactly what you want! We just got all of our wedding photos back and we LOVE THEM! Highly recommend Photos by Rob! Jackie and Chris"

We’ve seen many photographers in action, and Rob + Jill consistently deliver both an amazing experience and stunning results. Any couple would be lucky to have them capture their special day, and we always look forward to working events with them!"
"Rob and Jill were amazing handling the pictures for my daughter’s wedding! They were prompt, went straight to work, informative and easy to work with. Most of all, they were kind! Weddings can be highly stressful and sometimes photographers can get pushy…not these two! They handled everything with the utmost care and delivered fantastic looking photos. If you are in the St. Augustine area and are looking for someone to capture your event, Rob and Jill are your team!"
"Rob and Jill are simply amazing!! My husband and I first met them for our engagement session. They made everything so relaxed and fun, it felt like we had known them for years! They knew all of the best spots around town for the perfect pictures. Fast forward to today, they have also captured our wedding, some family portraits, and our maternity photos. We can’t recommend Rob and Jill enough. Their enthusiasm is unmatched, and they are truly fantastic people!"
"We could not be happier with the entire experience that Rob and Jill provided for our wedding. They were so accommodating and truly brought the ideas I had for photos to life. They took extra time to make sure they covered as much ground as possible. The photos are incredible and I have even been told that they are the most beautiful wedding pictures people have ever seen! Highly recommend!"
"Rob & Jill did our engagement and wedding session. Not only are they so talented, and a great team, they are amazing humans too! So fun, and the type you want to have dinner with. I threw some last minute changes at them, not once but twice and they were so accommodating and were able to exceed our expectations. Love them! Hire them, you won't regret it."
"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!"

"Rob was an amazing photographer for our wedding at Timuquana Country Club! 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!"
"Rob was referred to me by a friend. I checked his site out and knew he was the one to capture my big day. From the moment I arrived at the venue Rob was already there and taking pictures. He was very upbeat and professional. As of right now I haven't received my final photos yet but my sneak peeks he sent me shows me that I made the right choice. I'm so excited and can't wait to see all the photos. I would recommend Rob to anyone that needs a great photographer."
"Couldn’t imagine a better Wedding Photographer 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."
"Best wedding photographers in NE Florida! My husband and I got married on Amelia Island, Florida. I was starting to get very nervous after reaching out to a few photographers in the area who were either way to expensive for our budget or already booked. I found Rob and Jill on a vendor list from our venue and WOW!!! Not only were they very reasonably priced, but they were so easy and fun to work with and the end results were SPECTACULAR!!!! They drove the 45 minutes from St. Augustine where they are located to Amelia Island where the wedding was, if you do not live in St. Augustine I would encourage you to reach out to see if they will make the trip, it will be well worth it. Everything ran so smoothly, from planning and payment to logistics and creative ideas to the amazing final results. I cannot reccommend Rob and Jill highly enough. Do yourself a favor and book them now for your special day."
"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!"
"Larkin-Jones Wedding 1-24-24 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!"
"These two went ABOVE & BEYOND to get the best shots of everyone with it being quite chaotic. To gathering everyone up, Jill helping make the shots perfect, running to help us get pictures before the storm arrived, to staying past the time we paid for to finish the sparkler send off. We will ALWAYS recommend them! They were the absolute best!"
"This review for the Futrell's is long overdue, but I have to express how incredible this husband and wife team is. From the moment I made the first call, I instantly felt like I was talking to family. They were so personable, calming, and funny, and extremely easy to work with! I knew right then that I had found my first wedding vendor, even though my wedding was 16+ months away. On the actual wedding day, everything went even smoother. Our family, bridal party, and guests couldn't stop complimenting how amazing the photographers were in their interactions. Rob's photography style truly captures the moments in a beautifully natural way. We are forever grateful, and are left with stunning memories thanks to Rob & Jill!!"
"There are truly not enough words in the English language to explain how immensely grateful we are for Rob & Jill. We hired them for our wedding in Glacier National Park and to say I was blown away by them in a massive understatement. From start to finish they made the entire process so simple and easy, they were responsive, friendly and organized. Since this was a full weekend affair, Jill had the entire weekend mapped out of where and when we would be doing portraits, including the 2+ mile hike they made with their gear (uphill, both ways, in the snow) to get candid shots of all our friends and family. My brother and bridesmaid both missed their college graduations to attend our wedding, and with zero hesitation, Rob & Jill took some amazing portraits of them in their cap & gowns for us. Our group spontaneously decided at the rehearsal to jump in the lake before “taking the plunge” and not only did they document this, Rob got in 47 degree water to get the perfect shots of everyone jumping off the dock. How many other photographers can you say are willing to do that?! They go the extra mile in every sense. Somehow they managed to be in every place, at every time and truly captured every core memory from the weekend. From the candid moments, to the epic mountain views, and portraits everything was executed perfectly. We could not have asked for a better duo than Rob & Jilly. My friends and family still rave about how great of a job they did and how they didn’t feel like vendors, but rather an extension of our family. The showed us sneak peeks of the photos while we waited for the full album to be edited and still managed to get us our entire album back in a timely manner as promised. If I could give them 10000 stars I would. If you’ve made it this far in my review, why haven’t you booked them yet?"
"I had the pleasure of witnessing Rob’s exceptional photography skills at my aunt's wedding in Saint Augustine. Despite challenging weather conditions, he and his team worked tirelessly to capture a wide variety of beautiful moments and scenes. Rob's ability to direct people and maintain focus in such conditions was truly impressive. His attention to detail, patience, and artistic vision shone through in every photograph. It was heartwarming to see our Vietnamese family tradition of treating the photography team as honored guests, a gesture that clearly touched Rob. I am incredibly grateful for his hard work and the timeless memories he has captured for our family."

"Rob was great throughout the whole wedding process! From discussing a photo package that was right for our needs and our budget to working on some very delayed requests from me with my hectic travel schedule! He has been very gracious with all of my requests and ideas and captured the perfect moments that fit our personality! Like many couples, our budget was a concern, but my husband had told me, "If there was one thing to splurge on for the wedding, it should be the photographer." I'm so glad I took his advice and found Rob! I'm so proud of our pictures and show them off to everyone!"
"Fun & professional As someone who feels awkward being photographed, Rob and Jill made me (and everyone else!) feel instantly comfortable. Rob is hilarious and Jill is so organized. We had a lot of fun with them on our wedding day and our photos turned out beautiful."
"Rob and Jill were absolutely incredible to work with!!! They are very down to earth and make the process extremely easy and comfortable. They go above and beyond to capture the perfect pictures, even if that means climbing in a ditch to get the best shot. LOL I would 10/10 recommend using them as they did such a beautiful job capturing both our engagement and wedding day."
"The Best in the Business! Rob and Jill are beyond amazing! They are the ultimate dynamic duo who work seamlessly together. They did our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn't be more obsessed with how they turned out. Rob and Jill are professional, fun, punctual, and know exactly how to capture your photoshoot/wedding day perfectly. Look no further for your photography needs!"
"My wife and I are so glad we chose Rob and Jill as our wedding photographers. Leading up to the wedding they were very quick in responding to all of our needs. Not only are the photos themselves excellent, but both of them have great and fun personalities, which is a big plus when you think about how you want your special day to go. With how stressful other parts of the wedding can be, dealing with Rob and Jill was always a breeze. Thanks again for everything you guys!"

"Our Best Vendor Decision Ever I can't say enough wonderful things about our wedding photographer Rob Futrell. And let's not forget to give the fair credit to Jill, who kept our day and our photographs running smoothly. Not only did they take the most amazing photos, they made us feel comfortable and honestly made our day way better than we expected. Rob and Jill go so far out of their way to make sure that not only are their photos perfect, but so is every aspect of the day. Rob and Jill are basically honorary members of our family. After I met them at my sister's wedding in St. Augustine, I knew I needed them to be a part of my day. From the very beginning of the planning process, they were an absolute dream to work with. They made the long drive from St. Augustine to St. Petersburg and I am still so glad they were a part of our big day. They got along with every guest (my family is still asking about Rob and Jill) and made even those of us who are uncomfortable with cameras seem to forget that photos are being taken. I am just waiting for another member of my family to pop the question so that I can call Rob and Jill again!"
"Amazing photographer Rob and Jill were amazing from the start. You meet them and feel like you have known them forever. They made the wedding day fun and we’re a pleasure just to be around. They took the best photos and really captured the best moments of our special day. Well worth the money for the amazing work they do. We will be using them again."
"The most amazing photography experience Absolutely love Rob and Jill! Rob and his fabulous assistant were so wonderful, kind, and patient with our human and dog guests - I literally could not imagine having anyone else photograph our wedding. Jill made the entire process so seamless and simple - there was absolutely no pre-wedding stress about anything photography thanks to her! Marco and I are so thankful for this entire family - you all are amazing. Our pictures are so us and so in the moment and magical. I would most definitely recommend to everyone!"
"Phenomenal Work!!! Rob and Jill are incredible! Leading up to the wedding I had so many last minute questions and Jill responded immediately. They both have this energy that is so calming yet so personable. Not only are they both AMAZING people but the photos of our engagement and wedding are truly phenomenal. I look at my wedding photos every day and I am so thankful I did the research into finding the BEST photographer. If you are looking for a sign, this is it. You will be so glad you picked them!!"
"Amazing people! I had the pleasure of meeting Rob and Jill at a friends wedding! When my husband and I got engaged it wasnt even a question who we'd hire for our day!! Rob and Jill made us feel so comfortable when we had a few timing issues, made us feel like the day and timeline moved smoothly! They are such gret people and amazing at what they do! Our pictures were perfect and Rob and Jill made the entire process so easy! Love them!"
"Just thinking of Rob makes me smile! From when we first met in person to talk about our wedding day, until he emailed me my link full of pictures, it was such a pleasure working with him!! Rob showed up way earlier than contracted on our wedding day with two cameras literally strapped to him in some crazy leather holster. Let me just say our wedding day was the rainiest day ever in St. Augustine, FL. Rob and I had planned so many great things outdoors for our photos and then when it was monsooning outside he came up with backup plans so quickly! We were supposed to get married on the Lightner Museum bridge in the courtyard and my mom and wedding planner decided that it would be better to have it at the small chapel instead. About 5 minutes before the ceremony was to begin it stopped raining and they moved everything outside! For anyone who knows anything about photography, that changes EVERYTHING for the photographer. Rob quickly got all of his equipment changed and set up for a last minute outdoor wedding!! I didn't notice this at the time but my bridesmaids said how Rob was literally in bushes/almost in the pond around the bridge to get the best shots. People are still in shock when I show them my pictures and tell them that all of these pictures were taken by ONE photographer. It rained on and off for our entire wedding day and Rob insisted on getting a couple of shots in the rain. I can't even tell you how amazing these shots are!! Did I mention I got all of my photos in THREE WEEKS?! If you do not hire this man, you are doing yourself a disservice! He is so fun, lighthearted, professional and flexible! All of my guests loved him and could not stop commenting on how awesome he was. Please don't go cheap on your photographer for one of the most important days of your life! Aside from my wedding photos, he did our engagement session and they were equally as beautiful. I can't say enough amazing things about this man. Just go to his website and see for yourself!"
"Rob and his wife are absolutely amazing! They were so hard working and attentive! They were extremely hard working and their energy was fantastic! I can't wait to see how our photos turned out!"
"We determined the date of our wedding based on when Rob and Jill were available because they were the #1 vendor we had to have! Aside from the stunning photos were received, working with Rob and Jill is like working with your friends. They are fun and kind and genuinely want to ensure that you are happy and having a good time. We just adore them, and are so grateful we were able to work with them."

"I absolutely loved working with Rob for our wedding photos. Rob was my wedding coordinator, photographer, and gave great advice throughout our who wedding planning process. He helped us create a schedule and made sure we stuck to it on the day of the wedding. His experience and knowledge was so helpful. What I loved most about Rob was that my husband, who hates photos, loved working with Rob and did well with Rob's approach. Lastly, rob's quality of work is excellent! We were so happy with his photos and our album. We felt so blessed to work with someone who captured our story so elegantly on our special day!"
"I don’t post reviews very often (at all?) but Rob and Jill did such a spectacular job for such a memorable event it was important to post this review. Their communication before, the day of, and after our wedding was seamless and we were never in doubt of what to expect. Not only that, but their knowledge of the Saint Augustine area and suggestions for service providers went far beyond what we could’ve asked for in a photography team. This doesn’t even include their photos! Rob and Jill’s patience and talent in posing / herding people and the timing with lighting and composition made for some timeless photos. We cannot wait to work with them again (or hang out) because that’s how much they made us feel like family after it was all said and done. If you’re in need of a photographer, look no further. J"
"We picked our wedding day based on Rob and Jill’s availability… if that doesn’t tell you to literally run to them to get them for your big day I don’t know what will! 🎉 (I mean, look at the picture we got with them!! They’re actually perfect 🥰) From the moment we met Rob and Jill we knew they were who we wanted to capture our special day (and we weren’t even an engaged couple at the time 😉) Their personalities made us feel like we’d known them forever, and they made us feel so comfortable! After the wedding I got more compliments than I could count from wedding party and guests saying how much they loved our photographers because they were just so friendly and awesome to be around. Our picture timeline went perfectly. We met with Jill a few times discussing must have photos and time lines, and on the day of, it went without any issues! If we were ever off our timeline, I never knew, because they just made us feel like every moment was the most perfect memory to capture and took their time. I never felt rushed, and I always felt heard if I added a “can we do this really quick?”. There was always time and and it was always done with a smile. Rob and Jill just recently gave us our wedding pictures back, and I can’t look through my album without crying. Our perfect day summed up in the most beautiful images for me to look at forever. They were such a blessing to have on our day and we couldn’t have imagined it without them! They are the best dream team around and needed for every wedding! We love Jill and Rob and can’t wait for another reason to send them an email to find out their availability!!! 🤍🤍💕💕🎉"
"Dream Team We picked our wedding day based on Rob and Jill’s availability… if that doesn’t tell you to literally run to them to get them for your big day I don’t know what will! Our best decision for our big day! We love this team so much!! They were the best to work with and couldn’t have imagined our day without them! 🤍"
"We knew from the moment we had a meet and greet with Rob and Jill that we wanted them to be our wedding photographers. They came highly recommended from our wedding coordinator as one of the best in St. Augustine. They were warm, welcoming, and engaged with our vision of the wedding. The were very communicative throughout the whole process. This included planning the day’s photo activities so that we didn’t have to and could enjoy the day. Rob and Jill were very involved and attentive throughout the day and were a part of what made the day great and special. If something went wrong, Rob’s humor helped us quickly forget about it and move on. Rob’s passion for photography and experience gave us the best photos we could have hoped for. Their turn around was quick, and they went above and beyond to get us the photos we requested. If you want amazing photos and a photographer that truly cares about your experience, you should hire Rob and Jill. We truly appreciate the effort they put into our day and would highly recommend them to anyone."

"Wedding Day photographer Hire this man ! Rob and Jilly made our wedding day even more special. He was so authentic fun and made us feel so comfortable. Did an amazing job at our wedding in Saint Augustine!!!!"
"From a wedding guest POV: Rob is awesome. He was the most unobtrusive wedding photographer I have ever seen, but you could tell he was still getting exactly the shots he needed. He was great with the wedding party and the guests and seemed to have a sixth sense on where he was needed and when, always seeming to be there to get the perfect shot. His sense of lighting and framing was spot on. He made the event better with his presence. If you want an amazing photographer that your guest will love too, CALL ROB."
"I could not ask for a better photo team. Rob and Jill are the perfect pair. They were extremely responsive, flexible, and gave us exactly what we wanted and more! Even when we (mostly me) were running late on time, the day of, they still managed to get ALL of the shots we asked for. Even without a videographer you have a great sense of the day with all events and emotions captured. Rob and Jill were an extreme pleasure to work with: easy going, accommodating, and funny! All of our guests loved them and our photos turned out nothing short of AMAZING. There was a combination of genuinely beautiful photos with some really cool artistic ones. Would 1000% recommend to anyone looking to capture the beauty and soul of their most special day."

"I've had the great privilege of working alongside Rob as a fellow wedding vendor as well as several creative projects. Rob is the real deal. Let me explain to you what that means. Rob is one of those guys who genuinely cares about people. Not just about their wellbeing on a surface level, but who they are, what they are good at. He's a pro at finding the strengths in the people around him and works to encourage, empower, and support them over and over again. He's one of those people, you are glad you know. I promise that if you hire him for any event, project, etc you will come out of the experience with this same feeling. You'll hire him because his photos are incredible, and his experience backs that up. But you'll come out with an incredible relationship and feeling a million times better about who you are as a person because of the influence he has on you. Hire him bc he's good at what he does, but also because we all need more Robs in our life."

"Rob was the assistant to our main photographer on our wedding day and we were immediately grateful that he was part of the team! From the moment he entered my bridal suite, he was so kind, friendly, funny, and stress-free. I had just met him that day and I was comfortable with him from the beginning, which is important because your photographer/videographer team is with you ALL DAY everywhere you look! They're there capturing your most precious moments. Thanks for everything Rob!!"
"I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful it was to work with Rob and his wife, Jill. My husband and I first met with them almost a year before our wedding date and after speaking with them we knew immediately that we wanted Rob as our photographer. They made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day (especially during our "couples" photos) and Rob truly captured some of the most unique & breathtaking shots. Almost every single guest is featured in a candid photo, too, which is so special to us! Every expectation we had was exceeded and we couldn't be happier with the memories we'll get to relive every time we look at these photos. Further, they were always extremely quick to return our emails and worked with us to develop a photography timeline for the day of so we knew what to expect. One of the most common compliments we received after the wedding was about our photographers and how impressed everyone was with their professionalism and making every person they interacted with feel good. They were so kind and it was truly a pleasure to have them be a part of our big day. :)"

"Amazing Experience Rob and Jill are the best and made my wedding day one I will never forgot, if you are thinking about booking them please do yourself a favor and do it!"
"Wedding 10/01/21 There isn't enough words to describe how amazing Rob and Jill were to work with. From start to finish they exceeded every expectation I had. Yes, their skills are amazing but their personalities make it that much better and more fun. I 100% recommended them to ANYONE looking for a photographer. Everything was done within the timeline stated and they really blew it out of the water!"
"Rob Futrell is by far the most talented photographer I have ever known. He puts you at ease the moment you meet him. He understands every idea that you have while finding ways to elevate your idea beyond your dreams. He is a prodigiously brilliant, kind, funny, engaged, hardworking, caring, inventive artist. Our wedding day elopement in Charleston was intimate and perfect. Rob and his assistant Meg drove to and from Charleston (the same day) and captured any and every seemingly tiny moment throughout the day. Having Rob there was second only to marrying my incredible husband."
"Rob and Jill are the best around! If you want the best wedding photographer or photographer for any occasion definitely choose them! 💙"
"I could not have asked for a better experience using Rob and Jill to photograph my wedding and engagement shoots. They are truly amazing at what they do and take the time to make sure they get the perfect angles and poses. Not only do they focus on the bride and groom but they made sure to get candids of as many wedding guests during the ceremony and reception. We got our photos back in exactly 2 months after the wedding which was promised. I love every photo from start to finish. Thank you guys for doing such an awesome job."
"We hired Rob and Jill to do our engagement photos and our wedding and we couldn't be more thrilled with either! They are incredible people, and we adore our photos. We had a blast with them the entire process. They made everything so easy for us, and we cherish our photos so much!! They are unbelievable."

"The absolute best! We chose Rob and Jill as our photographers for our engagements photos and wedding and we are so incredibly happy we did! They are both amazing and work so well together! They were so quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the whole planning process. We wanted to have our dog in our engagement session and they were so awesome and got some great photos of him as well.They are also so fun to work with and make you feel comfortable from the moment you meet them. It's like we had known them forever. Making sure we found the perfect photographer for our wedding was a crucial part of the wedding planning and we are so happy we found Rob and Jill! Our photos came out beautiful and they were able to capture everything we asked for. They also were so accommodating through the whole process! Thank you Rob and Jill for everything! Highly recommend!"
"Rob and Jill are awesome. They were very professional and took incredible photos of my wife and my wedding. Would 100% recommend to anyone that needs a photographer for an event."
"My husband and I used Rob for our destination wedding in Amelia Island this past April. Not only are our pictures beautiful, but Rob and Jill made sure we had the best experience! Our guests still comment to this day about how much everyone loved Rob. Thank you so much for my pictures and for capturing the best day of our lives! I would highly recommend them for any event!"
"Rob and Jill have truly made getting photos done the best experience ever. They are so professional and so much fun. Rob has one of the best eyes I have seen and really captures people in the best way. Every chance we get to spend with them is full of laughter and truly effortless. They are a class act and we love our pictures so much. We can’t wait for our wedding to be here to be able to work with them again and have them capture the moment. Truly one of the best decisions we have made and they have made us feel at ease about being in front of the camera for our special day. Highly recommend them for any special moment you want to capture."
"Very happy Rob and Jill were such an amazing team to work with! Communication was excellent from the get-go throughout the planning process, our wedding day, and after the festivities. They made us (and our guests) feel comfortable and we're so impressed with how our wedding album turned out and are so pleased we'll have these great photos to remember such a great day!"
"So positive and professional! We absolutely love our wedding photos and the whole experience with Rob and Jill. They respond quickly and Rob made our day so special."
"Rob and Jill are AMAZING. We are so glad that we chose them as our photographers for our engagement shoot and wedding. They are an amazing team with such professionalism. A true joy to work with."
"Amazing and would recommend to all! Rob and Jill were excellent to work with! They were professional, yet extremely personable and made us feel like the highest priority on our wedding day. They were creative with their vision for photos and worked together as an amazing husband/wife team. The edits were flawless, and I could tell that Rob put forth an incredible amount of time to get the details just right. We couldn't be more grateful for finding them and truly would give them a 10/10!! Also, very reasonably priced and the value was 100% there."
"Made our wedding complete Words don’t even come close to how appreciative we were to have Rob capture our special day. From our very first phone call he instantly felt like family. Both Rob and Jill made us feel completely at ease and their excitement over every photo snapped made us even more excited. Our photos are everything we wanted and more. Genuinely talented, completely professional, and down to earth…..we highly recommend."
"Phenomenal My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rob and Jill. From the very first meeting I knew I wanted Rob to do the wedding. The planning was so easy and they were flexible. On the day of my wedding the timeline was laid out to do all wedding party photos before the wedding. However when Rob showed up he could tell I was nervous. Instead of pressuring me into sticking with the plan, he had me just talk with my bridesmaids while he quietly took photos. That and doing only the first look with my soon to be husband before the wedding calmed my nerves and resulted in some of my favorite photos. Rob and Jill work seamlessly together and they will not disappoint!"
"We used Rob and Jill for our wedding 5yrs ago and knew as soon as we started a family we would want to have them do our family photos. The last 2yrs we've had our family photos taken with them and it is such a great experience. We will work with them every year until they get rid of us! They make the whole experience feel so relaxed and they take away the awkwardness of posing or feeling unsure of what to do. Their personalities make it impossible to be unhappy when you're with them. And the photos are always exceptional. They capture the most beautiful moments, candid or posed. 10/10 recommend Rob and Jill for any photography needs. We are big Futrell Fans ❤"
"I wouldn't look any further! They are amazing! They were so helpful preparing for the wedding and were efficient, focused and perfectionists on the day of the event. They went above and beyond for us. We loved Rob and Jill and would use them again without reservation."
"Rob and Jill are absolutely amazing, both as professionals and people. From the very first time I visited their website I feel in love with their photography, but it wasn't until I actually met them that I realized how much I genuinely like both of them as people, too. Rob and Jill weren't just able to capture our wedding, they took the time to get to know us and get all of those small moments that they knew we would love. Not only that, but I received multiple comments from guests on how much THEY loved meeting Rob and Jill throughout the entire night. I really can't express how highly I recommend Rob and Jill Futrell! I'm so grateful that I have the most amazing pictures to remember such a special day <3"
"We are extremely grateful for the GORGEOUS photos from such a wonderful man and his wife! To relive that magical day through his lense and feel the tremendous JOY is overwhelming! The lighting, softness and color can only come from a photograph who has passion about his work and passion about people. From the Becker/Coleman family, you touched our hearts with these WEDDING PHOTOS!!!"
"Amazing!!!! Rob and his wife Jill are a dream team of creative energy. They are so much fun. On my wedding day I was a little ball of anxiety and they kept the energy fun and light. Rob had me and my husband laughing all day. Rob did our engagement photos as well and they came out phenomenal. I haven't seen all our pics yet since we just got married a couple days ago, but I already know they are gonna be sick. I can't wait to see them! They are kind, professional, and I highly recommend Rob Futrell to anyone getting married. Hiring him was one of the best decisions I made in the planning process. They rocked it!"
"Rob and Jill are AMAZING! The photos on their website are indicative of the quality of work you may expect for your event. They are an incredible team who has the unique ability to remain professional while putting you completely at ease. You will love being photographed by them...it felt like they knew us personally. Because of COVID, we are having our reception in the summer, and we will be hiring them again for that event. The candid moments Rob captured on film were my personal favorites. I wish I could give them ten stars!"
"My wife and I could not be more thrilled with the level of service, attention to detail, patience, flexibility, and incredible finished product provided by Rob and Jill. They're a phenomenal team, have great energy, and work seamlessly together to ensure their clients get exactly what they're looking for out of their big day. Rob makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, resulting in very natural-looking photos. Jill has an exceptional eye for detail, ensuring everything is just perfect."
"Beyond Incredible - Rob & Jill: Dynamic Duo My wife and I could not be more thrilled with the level of service, attention to detail, patience, flexibility, and incredible finished product provided by Rob and Jill.

"Highly recommend Ron and Jill are absolutely hands down amazing. Not only are they wonderful people but they are so artistic and talented. They were even sweet enough to let us know of places to visit since we are from Michigan. We eloped and Rob captured the moment so well that family states it was like they were there. I am so thankful they were available to photograph our wedding. The photos are breathtaking. Also, they worked so well with our fur baby who was also our best man aka best dog. So many beautiful photos that include his own little personality. The moment I saw Robs work I knew he was the photographer I wanted! I highly recommend him."
"I've never used a professional photographer before and didn't really know what to expect; I'd read my fair share on both the successes and failures of brides before me but was still uneasy. However, the uncertainty quickly faded away with every interaction/correspondence I had with Rob. His professional and prompt responses to my email inquiries were extremely comforting and refreshing while I navigated my way through all of the wedding details. Our engagement photo session was a great icebreaker to the world of professional photographer and getting to know Rob a little better. My now husband begrudgingly went along for the ride and the three of us had such a great time that we ended up treating Rob to dinner later that day as a thank you for such a wonderful experience. The wedding day was a continuation of the fun time we experienced during the engagement shoot; Rob's relaxed demeanor and friendly character put even the strongest skeptic at ease. Jill was also a pleasure to work with and they made a great team together - always professional and polite both to each other as well as the guests. My husband and I love our wedding photos and they bring a smile to our face every time we look through them. We love that they not only tell the story of the best day of our lives but also capture it in such an eloquent manner that we will have wonderful framed memories for all the years to come. I strongly recommend Photos by Rob Futrell - I can confidently say you won't be disappointed."
"More than we could of ever dreamed of! Rob and Jill are absolutely amazing to work with! From our first meeting, to planning to the actual day they were so supportive and did everything possible to make sure they captured our big day in a way that we didn't even know was possible. I honestly can't say enough good things or thank them enough! I have so many beautiful pictures that picking our favorites are impossible, highly recommend rob and Jill a million times over!"
"The Best Wedding Photographer You Could Ever Ask For There are not enough words to describe how incredible Rob and Jill are. From the beginning, Jill helped to coordinate with us and get everything booked and coordinated. She thinks of everything and is so organized! Rob is the sweetest and made sure I felt comfortable and relaxed the entire day. He is so creative and does an amazing job capturing exactly how people feel. He even ran out with my husband and I in the drizzling rain to make sure he captured the little bit of sunset we got on our rainy wedding day. This team goes above and beyond. You could not ask for anything better. We will treasure our wedding photos forever."
"If you are looking for a photographer to catch all of your special day moments, Rob Futrell is your photographers. Due to Covid-19, my first meeting was over the phone with Rob but from the first 5 minutes of that call, I knew that Rob needed to be my photographer. Rob and Jill were there for all of my questions about photos though-out my wedding planning process. Fast forward to the big day, Rob and Jill were both amazing during the day. They made everyone feel comfortable during the photos along with making us laugh and empowering us to take charge of our photos. They captured all of the love and silliness that my husband and I have for each other and our friends and family. The photos came back AMAZING and I wouldn't of wanted to book anyone else."

"Hire Rob and Jill Futrell! If you have the opportunity to hire Rob and Jill for your wedding photography, don’t hesitate for even a second. We met them on our daughter’s venue search trip to St Augustine, and as soon as we started talking to them, we made up our mind. We had reviewed some of their work beforehand, but meeting the personable, friendly, down to earth couple sealed the deal. As it turned out, 2020 would be a year like no other, and a month before the wedding, the groom’s family suffered a heartbreaking loss. We organized a very small, immediate family ceremony for the same day, different time and location, and were so thankful Rob and Jill could accommodate our change of plans. Throughout the process, they stayed in touch, and made the transition to the Plan B a seamless process for all of us. On wedding day, in what was a bittersweet occasion, I would not have wanted anyone but Rob and Jill there to document the moment. They helped us make a wonderful, memorable day out of what was an especially emotional, grief filled time. The sneak peek of photos we have seen are absolutely breathtaking. We can’t wait to see the rest, and we are praying that in 2021 when the big event/reception is planned, their calendar is free!"
"We found Rob when he did my brothers photos for his wedding almost 4 years ago. Working with Rob at that time was such a pleasant experience that I knew when my time came that he would be the one we would want to capture our special day. My husband and I had such and amazing experience with Rob and Jill from our engagement session all the way through our most special day. Though my husband and I are not use to having our photos done, Rob and Jill no doubt made us feel comfortable the entire time, and there was never a dull moment. When it came to keeping in touch they were both easily available and flexible when working with any ideas you may have. I would recommend the both of them for not just weddings but for all your photography needs!"

"Best experience we could have imagined! Rob and Jill did everything they could and more to make our wedding memorable. They were super responsive anytime we needed them before the big day, and they were always on top of everything. We love our engagement pictures, wedding pictures, and the beautiful wedding album. We still get so many compliments about Rob because he truly made our guests' experience better with every interaction. We even had a mishap with our seating chart display that morning and Jill came to our rescue! We'd recommend them to anyone looking for a talented photographer they can trust to do a phenomenal job every step of the way."
"When picking a photographer for your wedding you want to find someone that makes you comfortable, relaxed, and is a seamless addition to your wedding day plans. Rob and Jill are just that! They are so sweet and had me at complete ease through the entire process. From the engagement shots to the wedding day- all were perfect! Rob will have you laughing within the first few minutes of meeting him. He and Jill make a great team in capturing your perfect day, giving you lasting memories to look back on. They are the perfect addition to making sure your day is captured perfectly."
"Rob & Jill are two of the best photographers & we absolutely love working with them! They are so fun & professional. Definitely help make a wedding or event run smoothly while capturing the best moments! Xo Brittany Coastal Coordinating"
"Unicorns of the Photography World It's hard to keep reviews succinct without repeating so much of the information already given about the amazing duo that Rob & Jill make! Photography wise, their photos are beautiful and professional- with beautifully classic portraits and bridal photos, to fantastic journalism-styled in-the-moment photos that you will laugh, love, and cherish. It's everything you want from professional wedding photography, and with such a keen eye for composition and lighting it's hard to believe he ever did anything else before becoming a photographer. Besides their amazing portfolio, Rob & Jill are honestly the most fun, down-to-earth, personable duo you will ever work with. Rob is the kind of guy that will meet you and you'll feel like you've known him for 10 years; he's the kind of guy that will get you hot chocolate on a whim for your husband and you because it was chilly out, and will be your bouncer to make sure you've gotten a chance to eat with all the craziness going on during your wedding- all while still managing to take amazing shots the whole time. My only regret is that me and my husband live out of state, and that we may have to return to Jacksonville if (read- WHEN) we want to hire them again in the future. TL;DR: These two are the unicorns of the photography world."
"Above & beyond! Rob and Jill went above and beyond for every aspect of our wedding. They captured the day perfectly and were a ton of fun to work with. They are both extremely experienced, and know exactly what shots to take for pictures that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Rob and Jill were both ready for action on our wedding day. Jill met with the groomsmen for pictures and Rob was with the bridesmaids. Both sets of pictures turned out wonderful with a great selection of beautiful, funny, and emotional shots. Rob and Jill were well positioned throughout the ceremony to capture fantastic pictures without distracting anyone from the wedding. After the ceremony, the Futrell team did an excellent job of wedding party and family pictures. They were extremely organized and efficiently got through all of the pictures so everyone could get to the reception. They also did a great job of directing everyone in the pictures to make sure we all looked our absolute best. Rob and Jill were a ton of fun at the reception and all of our guests loved them. They captured a great balance of pictures of everyone that was at the wedding. Some of our favorite pictures are the candid action shots they took. Photo editing is a huge part of the process, and Rob went all out to make our pictures perfect. Jill also created a gorgeous wedding album that we will cherish forever. They took all of our requests into account and really personalized the whole experience. Communication was always quick and easy, and they made us feel like we were their only wedding. We love our wedding pictures and they are so much fun to look through and remember the day. We 100% recommend working with Photos by Futrell. If Rob and Jill are available for your wedding date, book them now!"
"Rob and Jill are two of the nicest people we have met. They are amazing to work with and did an amazing job for my daughters wedding in October at The Treasury. Rob captured amazing photos we will treasure for a lifetime. I highly recommend them and would use them again. Thank you Rob and Jill."
"Rob and Jill continue to go above and beyond for us and we could not be more grateful. We got married a year ago, 1/27/19 and it rained the whole day nonstop. Despite our outdoor wedding needing to be moved indoors, Rob took the most beautiful rain photos for us and that truly was a once in a lifetime experience. Our families and friends love Rob and are still talking about how friendly he is and how amazing his photos are. That day, Rob promised us the sunset photos we had hoped for and since then (an entire year!) Rob has gone out of his way to schedule and reschedule a total of five sunset photo sessions in which they were all rained out. On our sixth try and on our one year anniversary we spent the afternoon with Rob and Jill running around St.Augustine to all their favorite spots to catch the perfect lighting for photos that I already know will be perfect. Thank you both, you made our wedding day so special by capturing every candid perfect look, laugh and touch and now on our one year anniversary you made us laugh and remember the details of our special day a year ago."
"I can’t recommend Rob and Jill enough! Not only is Rob an amazing photographer, but he is kind, thoughtful, and honestly just plain fun. Our wedding was a multi-cultural, multi-day affair and Rob easily navigated the blend of cultures and religions present at the wedding and made everyone feel comfortable. Jill was also incredibly kind and extremely organized. She met with me before the wedding to make sure we had a timeline and family photo list in place and helped us manage the family the day of the event to make sure they were in the right place at the right time. We loved having them with us on our wedding day -- you will too!"
"Your new favorite photographer Wedding photographers are by your side the entire day on one of the most important days of your life — you want them to be incredible photographers and capture this moment for you, but you also want them to be people you want to spend time with. Photos by Futrell enthusiastically checks both these boxes! I’m not exaggerating when I say that I knew I had to hire Rob about 10 minutes in to our first call. Not only is Rob an amazing photographer, but he is kind, thoughtful, and honestly just plain fun. Our wedding was a multi-cultural, multi-day affair and Rob easily navigated the blend of cultures and religions present at the wedding and made everyone feel comfortable. I seriously had people asking me for Rob’s contact info so they could stay in touch after the wedding — that is how much people connected with Rob. Jill was also incredibly kind and extremely organized. She met with me before the wedding to make sure we had a timeline and family photo list in place and helped us manage the family the day of the event to make sure they were in the right place at the right time. I can’t recommend Rob and Jill enough!"
"Rob is absolutely stellar. He was my photographer for our engagement photos and wedding photos. The photos so far are beautiful and I can't wait for the wedding photos. He's incredibly professional, keeps everything on time, has a great eye for location and light, and he's super funny and personable. By far the best photographer I've ever met. His staff are also incredible. Communication is great and he understood my vision entirely and made it his mission to reach that vision."

"I have no words We hired Rob and Jill for our wedding this October and it was the best decision we made! Not only are they extremely talented but they are the best people to spend your whole wedding day with! They are kind hearted, fun, and so loving. We even received some photos the morning after the wedding as a sneak peek and we fell in love. We just got our photos back and we are in awe over how our perfect day was captured exactly as we remembered it. I can’t express how much I recommend this photographer to everyone but I will say I would hire Rob a thousand times over!!!!"
"Fantastic!!! Rob and Jill did a fantastic job on our wedding pictures! The guests from our wedding are still talking about funny, charming and relatable Rob was during the event! He was able to help guests pose for a great picture while making them laugh and relax. Sometimes the group family pictures can be a little stressful but Rob and Jill made them so easy and organized! My guests just loved them!"
"You won't be disappointed Rob and Jill were amazing! They will truly make you feel like family and you will feel so comfortable in front of the camera with them! Rob has such a creative eye and will go above and beyond to get the best photos. We had the hardest time picking which photos to put up around the house because there were so many to pick from. I wish Rob & Jill did more than just wedding photography because I would have them document everything! :)"
"Captured our special day perfectly Rob and Jill are simply fantastic. From our initial meeting, to the engagement shoot, to the wedding day... it was all perfect. Rob brought a fun dynamic to our crew on the day of wedding. He had everyone laughing and put everyone at ease. The photos came out great and I can’t help but smile every time I look at them. He and Jill are such a pleasure to work with and would recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer."
"We can't say enough about Rob and Jill. They both went above and beyond. Rob was extremely organized and helped create a perfect day of timeline. He was so much more than a photographer. Jill and Rob have a calmness that makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. He helped keep us both cool and collective before the event. The photographs are hands down amazing. He truly captured flattering and unique aspects of our big day. All of our guest commented on how great rob was, and how they can't wait to see the images. We would recommend Rob to everyone anytime!"
"I can’t say enough great things about Rob and his breathtaking work! My new husband and I live out of state but we chose to get married in St. Augustine. I was so nervous trying to choose important vendors from a distance and spent hours upon hours scrolling through various photographers and their work. Finding a great photographer was a long process for me because it was one of the most important aspects of my wedding planning. I not only wanted to find someone who I felt confident would deliver beautiful images from our wedding day, but who would also personalize my experience and make my husband and I feel like more than just the “client of the day”. By the time I came across Rob’s work and had my first phone conversation with him, I knew without a doubt he was the one for us. He immediately put me at ease and I was obsessed with his work from the minute I saw it. On our wedding day, he went above and beyond our expectations. He provided gentle but necessary directions in the chaotic moments that led to our ceremony. Rob captured genuine and candid moments throughout the process and managed to be in about 100 different places at once. He was also able to command our rowdy group of friends and family so we were able to get all the bridal party and family portraits we wanted, but not once did Rob ever come off as sounding rude or unpleasant. He had everyone smiling and laughing throughout the night and by the time the reception came to an end, my husband and I felt like we had made a lifelong friend. After receiving our final images I wanted to cry tears of happiness. It was like reliving our wedding day all over again and I still can’t stop scrolling through our pictures. The final product was a beautiful mix of candid moments and gorgeously staged portraits. I would recommend Rob to any couple looking for an amazing and personable wedding day photographer. Hands down, it was one of the best decisions we made!"

"Awesome shots and Customer Service Our son’s hippie-modern-Orthodox wedding took place in 2014 on Jacksonville Beach. The before-wedding festivities and reception were held at the (now defunct) Freebird Café and Music Venue. There is no question that we (unintentionally) threw a lot of demands and obstacles at Rob. In spite of this, Rob was determined to capture this amazing wedding with absolutely beautiful shots. Not sure if Rob had worked a Jewish wedding before but he was in total sync with the event as it unfolded. Initially, we paid for a certain number of photos but when it can time to choose, we couldn’t narrow it down. We ended up purchasing all the shots and managed to create albums on Shutterfly for the bride and groom and other family members. Fast forward as our son and daughter-in-law prepare to celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary (with our beautiful grandson in tow!) and we realized that the couple had never ordered their “official” album that was included in the package. In spite of “The Cloud,” we hold to the belief that some traditions are sacred and when these kids are close to celebrating their 37th anniversary as we just did, they will delight in going through a formal album of their special day. So, we reached out to Rob and Jill (on a whim) and asked if there was any way this album could still be produced so many years later. To our surprise, they determined the photos were still accessible and could create a most gorgeous wedding album ready to give as a gift! The album is truly a treasured keepsake and the photos from that day a sweet memorial of family members no longer with us and a tribute to the tradition and love surrounding us on that day."
"Fun, Sweet, Professional, and SO TALENTED Rob is AMAZING! I can't say enough about how fun, sweet, and professional he was! I knew we had found our wedding photographer from the very first email conversation with him. I had several guests come up to me during and after the wedding saying our photographer was so cool and fun. And the photos themselves are everything I was hoping for! At the last minute we asked him if he could take some pictures of us with our dog and he just rolled with it. We ended up with pictures with our fur baby that are priceless. Could not recommend enough!"
"We love rob! Rob and Jill are amazing to work with! They were in contact with us throughout the whole planning process, coming up with the perfect plan for our wedding day. On our wedding day, Rob went above and beyond for us and our families. He was able to capture so many candid moments and he talked us through the posed photos and made us laugh. It ended up raining the whole day but Rob was willing to go out in the rain with us to capture the most beautiful and romantic photos we could have ever imagined. Rob is an amazing photographer and an amazing person."
"My husband and I first met Rob and Jill while interviewing photographers for our wedding. From the moment we met them, we knew we needed them for our special day! Keep in mind, you spend the whole day with your photographer, so you want it to be someone you like! Not only did Rob’s work sell us (he is extremely talented and showcased a wide variety of shots & styles!) but so did their personality. Flash forward a few months to our engagement shoot in St. Augustine. Rob put us at ease right away. He made us feel comfortable and had us laughing the whole time! On our wedding day, Rob played photographer, coordinator, and therapist. He was an absolute dream to work with and our family and friends loved him. We hired Rob to shoot and Jill to second shoot and I highly suggest this. We were never rushed to take pictures and they did not miss a single moment at our wedding. So much so that when we got our photos back, we had no idea he captured some of the moments. We decided not to hire a videographer and are really happy we didn’t. If you have Rob, you don’t need one! His photos are so detailed that you can hear them. We have looked though our pictures countless times and each time we notice something new. Not to mention, he also supplied us with a great amount of horizontal and vertical pictures (this is important!) Rob and Jill are a great team to be around and know exactly what they’re doing. Their style is like no other and they have an eye for capturing the perfect shot. If you like good people and great photographs, you need Rob & Jill at your wedding."
"I can’t say enough good things about Rob. The photos were the most beautiful things I have ever had the benefit of being in and their whole process is amazing. They are a fun team, super nice and easy to work with... all our friends want to hire them and are now following them on social media. Rob literally photographed us in a hail storm and still made the pictures look like they are out of a storybook. If you don’t hire Rob then you are missing out!"
"Phenomenal!!! I can’t say enough good things about Rob. The photos were the most beautiful things I have ever had the benefit of being in and their whole process is amazing.

"Rob Futrell is a professional photographer who is a no nonsense get the job done right young man who is a ball of positive energy. We loved the photos he took for our daughters wedding (Mary & Luke)at the Treasury and by the Lions Bridge They were very creative and well done. Thanks Rob for we now have great photos and wonderful memories to look back on because of your great work."
"Why are you so AMAZING! Words can’t express how amazing our experience was with Rob! Not only is his work brilliant but his personality shines through his craft. My husband and I have been married for 6 years and we still talk about how amazing our photographer was! Rob has left an everlasting impression. Thanks for being so patient, fun and professional during such a stressful time. Rob is truly one of the best! After all these years, he has maintain a relationship with us and is still catering to our needs. Our flash drive with all our wedding photos were damaged. My husband and I are so thankful that he was able to retrieve our archive photos. That speaks volume of how AWESOME he is! Once again, we thank you for everything. He was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. You will not regret it. XOXO"
"Absolutely amazing Choosing a photographer might have been the most stressful part of planning our wedding. Looking at portfolio after portfolio of the same shots was completely exhausting.... and then we met Rob. We are so thankful that he was recommend to us! He and Jill were a dynamic duo. Watching them work together so seamlessly really showed you how great marriage is! All of our guests have made it a point to tell us how impressed they were watching Rob run all around to make sure he caught everything! He is dedicated, funny and personable. We cannot recommend him to enough people!"
"Absolutely Amzaing Photographer Rob and Jill went above and beyond for my wedding! They are the nicest people I've ever met and made the picture process so comfortable and flawless. They took multiple photo requests from my guests and managed to capture incredible memories with ease. My photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined and cannot thank Rob and Jill enough! You're really missing out on absolutely stunning photos if you don't hire them for your wedding!"
"Let me start by saying that Rob (and his lovely wife Jill) are an amazing pair to work with! From our beautiful engagement photos (where we knew we would love them come wedding day), to our actual wedding day, Rob was absolutely amazing. Handling the quick turn around of weddings, guiding us to make sure we get amazing photos (which we completely did), to capturing the most beautiful moments that we will cherish forever, Rob was an A+++ photographer. His vision and style is unique and top it off with his fun, outgoing personality, there isn't anyone else my husband and I would have wanted to capture our day! Thank you Rob and Jill for your beautiful work, we are forever thankful! Kathryn & Joe"

Handling the quick turn around of weddings, guiding us to make sure we get amazing photos (which we completely did), to capturing the most beautiful moments that we will cherish forever, Rob was an A+++ photographer. This guy right here is dedicated to his work(he even jumped down into the rocks by the crashing water, just to get that perfect shot!!) His vision and style is unique and top it off with his fun, outgoing personality, there isn't anyone else my husband and I would have wanted to capture our day! Thank you Rob and Jill for your beautiful work, we are forever thankful! Kathryn & Joe"
"Rob and Jill helped make our wedding amazing! They are awesome to work with. They did all the pictures we requested and a ton of candies. They are extremely personable. We couldn’t have asked for better photographers!"
"Rob & his wife, Jill are the most awesome team to work with! One look at Rob's website and I was sold. His pictures are incredibly creative and he is so passionate about what he does! Rob has all of this energy and excitement and it absolutely carries through in his work. When you choose a wedding photographer you want someone who's up-beat, that will keep you smiling ear to ear, laughing and allowing you to enjoy your moments without you realizing you have someone photographing your almost every move. Rob and Jill felt like a part of our wedding, not just a vendor we hired. They flawlessly integrate themselves into your day, make you feel comfortable ,and you know you can trust them to capture everything you would want to look back on. They are one of the most caring, fun and passionate duos I have met and you absolutely cannot go wrong when choosing them to capture your most special moments!"

"I cannot express in this post how amazing a job Rob did at our wedding. Originally, my sister-in-law had sent us a few photographers that were very unimpressive. After looking for several days I began to get disheartened and started to think we would never find a photographer that could take the perfect picture for us. Firstly, Rob has an amazing eye for catching the perfect moment. There were several moments where Rob stopped us just to grab a couple shots. I am extremely glad he did because they were some of the best shots! He just has a natural talent to align people the exact way they need to be to get that perfect shots. Secondly, Rob wasn't just a photographer he was an army of wedding knowledge and help. Every second he was there he was making sure that everything could be a possibly perfect as it could get. On a day where everything is moving so fast, I couldn't have been happier to have the extra hands that knew what they were doing. Lastly and most important, Rob made sure that everything my wife needed and wanted out of our wedding was done. No ifs, ands, or buts, it was done. This is a stressful day no matter how you do it but Rob made my wife feel so comfortable it made our entire day enjoyable. Not to mention one of the nicest and friendly people I have ever met. Rob, thank you so much for the amazing photos and sharing your time with us!"
"I cannot express how amazing Rob is. He made the whole process so easy and normal feeling. The pictures are amazing. I highly recommend him.You wont regret your decision."
"I spoke to at least ten photographers when I began the search for my daughter’s wedding, as it’s one of the most important decisions in a wedding. Once my daughter and her now husband also talked to a few of them we all knew Rob Futrell was the perfect choice as we all just clicked, which is extremely important when working with a photographer. Rob traveled to the engagement session as my daughter and her husband don’t live in Jacksonville, and they all had the best time creating fabulous pictures and getting to know each other, which really made the wedding day more fun for them and very smooth. Rob and his wife Jill were fantastic to work with from start to finish. They were always available if I had a question and gave great advice as to the timing of the event. At the wedding they were prompt and got right to work, having fun with the whole wedding party while capturing the entire day. They were not at all obtrusive, but they were always there shooting pictures that I cannot wait to see. Rob’s pricing is reasonable, fair and competitive. His style is laid back, and he really makes everyone feel at ease as he goes about his work. I would highly recommend Rob! Thank you for helping to make the day so special!"

"Choosing Rob as our photographer for our big Indian wedding was the best decision we have ever made. He is so creative and always finds innovative ways to make your pictures look stunning. Rob and Jill put so much effort in making sure our special day was everything we hoped it to be. He also got along with the crowd and made himself part of the family. Working with him was effortless, he found a way to keep you at ease while capturing the most stunning and precious moments. Through times of laughter and joy, tears from our first look, he captured every moment and every emotion. I am so happy to have picked him as our photographer. I would highly recommend Rob for his enthusiasm, his skill, his creativity and all his efforts. I couldn't be happier!"
"Our first meeting took place at his house, where we just sat and talked for a little over an hour and a half. Rob really wanted to get to know us and our lifestyle so that he can gauge how they would take photos. Even though this was the first time meeting them, it felt like we were at a good friend’s house catching up on old times and telling stories. This really showed us how passionate he is about what he does and when the meeting concluded, we (wife and I) gave each other a look that said “SOLD”. From here, they set up a timeline and schedule for us so we would know what to expect (and when). This way, there were no surprises and expectations were clear and understood. Throughout the wedding planning process, we kept Rob and Jill informed so that they could effectively plan their schedules and everything went nearly perfect without any problems. During our wedding, I told Rob that he and Jill are in charge of everything so that events go smoothly. They were all over the place taking thousands of pictures. They had the timeline planned so that afterward, we went to fort to capture some beautiful light during Nights of Lights. I mean it’s not JUST the pictures they took, but Rob actually went and laid down in a wet, mud hole to get a natural reflection shot off the water. They also set up a camping plot (tent included) at their house and started a fire so they could capture my wife and I doing our thing. The results were nothing short of stunning. After a couple of weeks of having the photos in post-production, the pictures were done and we were extremely happy of the results. Overall, they took approximately over 4,000 pictures. After they went through each one, they picked the ones they thought were winners and we ended up with over 1,300 photos that make us feel that we are right back at our wedding day. If there was one thing that went completely right, it was the fact that we hired the right team to document the happiest day of our lives."
"How do I even begin with this? Awesome, fantastic, amazing, the best thing that could have happened to my wedding. When my husband found out how much I spent on our photographer, he was a bit bent out of shape, but about halfway through our big day he looked over at me and said "they're so perfect, I'm so glad you got them." After a brief and definite I TOLD YOU SO, I reflected on what exactly would have driven my hard-headed husband to admit that he was wrong, and it was just who Rob and Jill are. I literally have been unable to stop thinking about them since my wedding and I cannot wait to see my pictures. That is one way to know that a photographer did a phenomenal job, when you can go online and write a short story about hoe amazing they were and how much they changed your life BEFORE even seeing the pictures. These two have my business for the rest of my life, if I EVER need a photography team, I want it to be them. ROB LAID IN TRAFFIC TO GET ONE SHOT FOR GOD'S SAKE, HES AN ANIMAL! Obviously in a good way. Aside from all the normal mushy gush that weddings give you, Rob and Jill were the absolute BEST part of my wedding, love you guys."
"Looking to capture that perfect Saint Augustine wedding? Rob Futrell is the absolute best wedding photographer in Saint Augustine and one of the best decisions I made as a bride to work with him. Not only is he the best value in town (meaning his prices are reasonable and the quality is outstanding) but he is kind, funny, and made my husband and I feel at ease the whole night. I can't recommend him enough!"
"Choosing to work with Rob for our wedding was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Our first meeting with he and his wife, Jill, we immediately fell in love. Not only are their photos gorgeous, but he and Jill have a knack for making you feel comfortable in your own skin so that he can capture the best moments. He told our wedding story in the best possible way, by allowing some posed photos, but mostly captured the ones that can't be posed and will be cherished forever. I can't recommend Rob Futrell enough, and can promise you that he will make an amazing impact on your most special day!"
"Rob and his wife make the best team. I chose Rob as my photographer for my wedding and it was one of the best choices I made! Rob and his wife are sweet, fun, vibrant, funny, and easy going on my wedding day. They are great at responding to any questions of mine throughout the entire process. The photos turned out amazing and I love them. You really cannot ask for a better photographer!!"
"Rob and Jill are the best. Period. Awesome photos and a great team. Will make all your guests feel comfortable. Will amaze everybody with how the pics turn out."
"Rob and Dawn truly made our wedding day so special! Rob is beyond talented, friendly and professional, he made me us feel so comfortable and assured. He not only took amazing pictures for us, but also helped coordinate our wedding day, and even helped with my veil when no one else could figure it out. Rob executed our wedding pictures in such a wonderful way, and hiring him was honestly the best decision we made concerning our wedding. I can't thank Rob and Dawn enough for everything they did for us! This company is amazing and you will be making a great decision by choosing him and his team to capture any special moment in your life! Thank you endlessly for everything Rob! From Caity and Nick S."
"Rob and Jill are amazing! I cannot say enough about how wonderful they were every step of the way. They are so easygoing and really make you feel comfortable. It was like having a couple extra friends there on our day. They are so fun to have there, and every single photo is beautiful! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars because they deserve it!"
"Rob managed to capture the beauty and sanctity of the ceremony and the fun of the reception for us! His ideas for before pictures tuned out to be some of our favorites!"
"If you can book Rob Futrell for your wedding...consider yourself lucky! :) Rob is one of the most down-to-earth, personable, patient, kind, funny, amazing people I’ve ever met AND he’s a FANTASTIC photographer...it’s almost too good to be true, but he exists! I found Rob through Wedding Wire one night and was totally stoked when he told me that he was able to shoot our wedding! We couldn’t have been more happy with the entire photo experience - not only are the pictures amazing, but the process was completely painless (I have a short attention span, so I can only handle posed photos for so long)! Rob is very efficient, ensuring that the best aspects of your wedding (and people at your wedding!) are captured perfectly. Further, he will make you feel and look like a rockstar... and provide you with photos that you will cherish forever. We can’t wait to book Rob again for more of life’s big moments. Thank you, Rob!!!"
"Working with Rob was the easiest part of our wedding. He took the time to get to know not only what my wife and I wanted in our wedding photography, but also the time to get to know US! I know it is his personal approach to photography that makes him the absolute best at what he does. Every time I see his pictures of our wedding, I am reminded of the extreme amount of effort he put forth to be in several places at once, allowing us to experience moments we thought we missed. I cannot thank him enough for his service to us, and will be recommending him to everyone in need of a photography professional. Plus, I feel as though I made a sincere friend throughout the process."
"Rob Futrell is a true professional who obviously wants the best experience for his clients. He insists it is all about the bride and groom and he fulfills every request for special photos. The end products are beautiful photographs to treasure for a lifetime! Our advise? Book him early!!"
"Rob and Jill were absolutely wonderful to work with! We had an unforgettable experience and wouldn't have changed a thing (maybe cooler weather). Rob captured our special moments perfectly! He fit in with our crowd and felt like just another friend hanging out with us! For me, not only were the pictures perfect but the experience itself is what made working with Rob the best."
"Rob and Jill were absolutely wonderful to work with! Although we never got the chance to meet Jill, she was very responsive in communicating with us and preparing us prior to the wedding! Rob was great to work with and even took up the opportunity to leave Florida for an Iowa wedding. Rob turned into a friend and was a blast to hang out with all day! He even joined in on our Scottish attire. The pictures turned out amazing and only contributed to the suburb experience Rob provided!"
"Rob and Meg were perfect for our daughters wedding! We could not have had better people do the photos! Rob was so easy to work with from the time we booked him until the end of the wedding. We highly recommende Rob for any special day you may have!!!! Kimberly and David Brannan"
"Rob and Jill did an incredible, phenomenal, amazing... insert more fantastic adjectives here... job. They captured the fun, joy, love and all the details of our daughter and son-in-law's wedding. Rob's direction and attention to detail is amazing. What I love most of all, Rob took such good care of our daughter, making her laugh and at ease. It was incredible seeing her enjoy every single moment of her and Richard's big day. Photography is a big part of our lives, so important to us. Rob's style, his personality, it was a match made in heaven. Thank you for making time stop in the amazing memories you captured. Truly a talented professional and we are so grateful."
"Rob Futrell consistently provides an amazing experience and product for every wedding or event at Mission Inn Resort. Rob captures the special moments and details at every wedding perfectly! The passion and professionalism with which he operates his company is truly first class. It is always a pleasure to have Photos by Rob Futrell as a wedding partner. Our team is honored to work with such talented wedding and event vendor partners! Karen, Mission Inn-Howey in the Hills"
"Rob Futrell is by far the most talented photographer I have ever known. He puts you at ease the moment you meet him. He understands every idea that you have while finding ways to elevate your idea beyond your dreams. He is a prodigiously brilliant, kind, funny, engaged, hardworking, caring, inventive artist. Our wedding day elopement in Charleston was intimate and perfect. Rob and his assistant Meg drove to and from Charleston (the same day) and captured any and every seemingly tiny moment throughout the day. Having Rob there was second only to marrying my incredible husband."
"So I owe a disclaimer up front: we didn't actually end up using Rob. But believe me, I still feel like he's part of the family I never knew I had. Photography was the toughest decision we had to make. Rob and his wife were great to meet with, and I was totally relaxed at the consultation, despite all the wild things being felled in their front yard by a hurricane (ahem, need I point out the professionalism of meeting me at the home office two days after a hurricane??). St. Augustine abounds with super talented photographers, and eventually you have to choose one. I did my homework, and will say I'm an avid fan of Rob on social media, and in real wedding photography, While we ended up choosing (eenie meanie money moe style) a different photographer, I caution anyone reading this review -- don't miss out! Pick Rob! I continue to be amazed and amused by his work."
"The photos from our wedding are indescribably great. Rob and his assistant arrived early enough to take pictures before/during/after and were probably the busiest people at our wedding. Constantly having to rally families and friends for photos absorbed all of their time, but they did it with an easy grace and were inescapably fun to have as photographers. Let's face it...nobody wants to smile for a curmudgeon and Rob and Co. were at their affable best the entire evening despite our scattered multitudes' attempts to derail them. Look no further, you have found your photographer. In addition, they have a beautiful online gallery that is easy for guests to access, so they can view and order photos if they want some as well."
"I'm sure anything I say has already been said 100 times. Working with Rob and his Wife Jill for our engagement session and wedding was amazing. They were fun and upbeat and listened to what we did or didn't want. They made us feel like we were old friends. The only downside to this is now we won't see them. Maybe we can keep faking engagement sessions to stay in their photography family :)"
"I had the pleasure of having my wedding photographed by Rob this past August. I got in contact about 8 months prior to my wedding and fell in love with his porfolio and just loved his attention to detail. My finances were not fully prepared for all the wedding shananagins, but Rob and Jill happily worked with us to secure a date. They were incredibly understanding and flexible at every step in the planning process. I am a very anxious person and stress easily so having a duo like these two is really a blessing. The day of my wedding was the first time I met Rob, and what can I say... he made my day everything I imagined and much more. I am a very introverted person and he really brought me out of my shell and let me truely enjoy the whole day, from start to finish. Honestly at one point he seemed like more of a part of the bridal party than just a photographer. Everyone was so impressed with his professionalism and talent. I wouldn't consider myself very "photogenic" and I hate having my picture taken... but I loved all of my photos so much I couldn't decide on which I wanted, and ended up purchasing them all! Thanks to Rob and Jill, my husband and I have our most precious day beautifully displayed in our home, our family's home, and all over social media of course. I would recommend him for any occassion. AMAZING!"
"Rob & Jill are two of the nicest people you will ever meet ! They treat everyone they work with like family and are so incredibly passionate about what they do. It's a pleasure getting to watch them work and enjoy their creativity and authenticity. We did several engagement sessions with them and have been blown away by each one. Our wedding is coming soon and we cannot wait for them to work their magic on our special day. Couldn't recommend them more !!"
"My fiance and I were beyond thrilled and amazed with the photos Rob had taken of our special day!! His photos tell a story and take hold all the emotions that went on that day in one shot. I have shed tears looking back on the photos reminiscing of all the moments and emotions felt that day. From the moment we had our first consultation meeting at starbucks till the big day was like a fun adventure with not just great professionalism but humor and friendlyness, too. I never felt like I had to worry and everything went so smoothly. The day of the wedding was like one big ball of fun the whole time, he was like family every step of the way. Such an amazing personality! with great jokes, humor, and playfulness that made every single person laugh and smile. All my single gals asked about hiring him for their future wedding days! He not only made a long life lasting imprint within our lives but amongst my families' as well. Would recommend him for any and every event and cannot wait to work with him again!!!"
"Rob is very hands on and creative. If you let him then he will make your day so memorable! We got married in St. Augustine, Florida and live in Atlanta so we took a chance with Rob and couldn't have been happier with the results. He is extremely familiar with the St. Augustine area, in particular The White Room. He is very affordable and timely with getting your photos back to you. Every time I look at our photos I am flooded with emotions and feel like I am right back in our special day. I highly recommend him and his team!"
"We were so excited to have Rob photograph our wedding we picked our date based on his availability. He's incredibly fun to work with and delivered the most beautiful and consistent images we've seen. We were blown away and can't wait to see these in print. Simply awesome!"
"We had the best photographer for our wedding!! Rob Futrell was amazing! His talent is beyond any expectation! He and his wife Jill made our day so fun and easy!! What a great choice we made!! His photos speak for themselves!"
"Rob and his wife are absolutely amazing people. They truly love what they do and their work shows it! Rob was so quick to respond to everything I needed. The day of the wedding, he did so much more than just be our photographer. He helped us with whatever we needed, all while getting some amazing shots. He seemed more like a friend hanging out with us while we were getting ready than a photographer and helped put us all at ease. He had so many amazing ideas for pictures and he always made sure he got the perfect one before moving on. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. He made our day so much better just by being there! You don’t need to look any further for a wedding photographer - Rob is the perfect one!"
"Rob Futrell exceeded my every expectation - and then some - as my wedding photographer. From the initial "planning" meeting, all the way through the final photo selections, Rob and his wife, Jill, have been nothing but supportive, responsive, flexible, and amazing! My wedding and bridal session photos are incredible - more beautiful than I could have imagined. Choosing Rob Futrell as your wedding photographer for your big day will be one of the best decisions you'll make!!"
"Rob and his wife, Jill, were the best wedding photographers I could have asked for on my wedding day. Supportive, talented, patient, creative, flexible, funny, passionate - just a few of the qualities that make this outstanding team a "must-have" for your wedding day!"
"Incredible photographer! Very responsive and willing to work with us on everything we were looking for! I don't regret hiring Rob for my wedding one bit! I love every single photo that was taken and will cherish them forever! He really knows how to capture the emotions and special moments of the wedding!"
"Everything about our experience with Rob and his team was absolutely amazing. Rob made my husband and I feel so comfortable during our engagement session and so relaxed the day of our wedding. All of our pictures turned out fantastic, and my husband and I couldn't have had a better team capture these moments. We were so lucky, and honored, to have Photos by Rob Futrell capture our special day."
"Rob was first-rate...he did our engagement photos (and our daughter's graduation photos) as well as the Wedding. Rob was not overbearing at the Wedding and got lots of great shots - natural and artistic."
"We can't say enough amazing things about working with Rob! From the start, he made us feel completely at ease about everything from wedding logistics to how to pose in photos, all while making us laugh and keeping the energy high. Our wedding party and guests are still raving about him and talk about him like an old friend; our maid of honor even just said the other day: "EVERYONE loves Rob! How can you not? He's the best!" And at the same time, there was nothing that ever felt intrusive about his shooting style - he knows when to engage and when to capture incredible candid moments without you noticing. He and his wife Jill truly captured our favorite moments and reminded us of other amazing moments that we missed in the happy haze of the day. We're so excited to be reliving our wedding day in such beautiful detail; we can't get enough of our photos! We wholeheartedly recommend Rob to any couple and would work with him again in a second. Thanks so much again, Rob!"
"Rob did a phenomenal job photographing my wedding and throughout the whole process. He returned my phone calls right away, met my husband and I for coffee to set a plan, and followed up with me via email before the day of. Everything was a little crazy the day of - but he was completely flexible as my bridesmaids and I were running behind schedule. He made sure that we didn't miss any shots, and worked everything in throughout the night. He makes certain everything gets done and that people pay attention.........my wedding party definitely needed that. The work itself turned out amazing, very creative use of spacing and natural lighting. My photos are absolutely beautiful, and we are making our favorites into large canvases. I would definitely recommend him for any event!"

"There is no photographer in the world we would have rather had capture our wedding than Rob -- not only for his skill, which is exceptional and which we will address, but for so many other reasons as well. We had absolutely no idea what to expect from a wedding photographer, but he set our minds at ease from the moment we him and always made himself available to us to answer any questions, calm any fears, or just to chat. Prior to the wedding, he shot an engagement session for us where he spent literally hours with us, walking all over the city in a torrential downpour, and still managed to keep us laughing, make us feel totally comfortable, and get a gazillion amazing shots. On the day of the wedding, he (and Jill!) were efficient, prompt, and professional, but also a ton of fun and easy to be with. They both “got” who we were and what we wanted and having them around just as human beings enhanced the event. Rob delivered the pictures a full month early, and once again helped us out and answered all our questions about next steps. The pictures are beautiful and we could not be happier. We strongly recommend hiring Rob for any event – you’ll be thrilled with the results and you’ll gain a great friend!"
"Rob was first-rate...he did our engagement photos (and our daughter's graduation photos) as well as the Wedding. Rob was not overbearing at the Wedding and got lots of great shots - natural and artistic."
"Rob and Jill are wonderful. They made us feel comfortable and always stepped in to reassure us when they could see I was feeling a bit anxious. The photos are incredible--they are always willing to go the extra mile for a beautiful photo. They are wonderful people, and we love them for their work and friendship!"
"Rob is beyond amazing! He did whatever it took to make me feel comfortable, regardless of how camera shy I became. He was extremely professional, but with a playful edge. He was punctual and made everything look effortless. The execution of the dreaded family pictures was quick and painless. He gave us sneak peeks throughout the day, which made me excited to see the rest of them. When we received our pictures (in record time!!), I was so glad that we chose Rob to be our wedding photographer. We couldn't have found anyone better and to this day our family and friends still talk about Rob and how amazing he is!"
"Rob is beyond amazing! He did whatever it took to make me feel comfortable, regardless of how camera shy I became. He was extremely professional, but with a playful edge. He was punctual and made everything look effortless. The execution of family pictures was quick and painless! He gave us little sneak peeks throughout the day, which made me excited to see all of them. When we received our pictures back (in record time!!), I knew we chose the perfect wedding photographer. To this day my family and friends still talk about Rob and how amazing he is."
"Choosing Rob as my photographer was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. His team was incredible, friendly, fun and everyone in at my wedding and the bridal party loved having them around. They caught every little detail that I would have wanted captured on my wedding day, everything from cleaning the rain soaked chairs to my husband's perfect smile. He was great with the staff at the venue and handled things that I didn't need to worry about it. My pictures turned out perfect! They are exactly what I wanted and now I can always remember my perfect day!"
"If I could give Rob Futrell more than five stars I would! We could not be more thrilled with our wedding photos, he is truly an exceptional photographer. Through the guidance of my wedding planner Rob came highly recommended. I am forever thankful for this referral! My husband and I both wanted more candid style photographs to document our special day and Rob delivered with photos that exceeded our expectations. His work speaks for itself and demonstrates his ability to find and capture perfect moments (and lighting!) in such a creative, fresh, sincere, and beautiful manner. We have so many beautiful and amazing photos from our wedding that I will treasure forever. Not only do we love our wedding photos, but we absolutely loved working with Rob. He has an obvious passion for what he does. He’s so much fun to work with and made everyone feel at ease (including the groom!). We were impressed with his genuine disposition and professionalism throughout the entire wedding. I cannot tell you how many wedding guests have said to us (even several months after the big day), “I loved your wedding photographer!!” He really captured so many special, fun, and incredible moments of our wedding. Our wedding photos are simply beautiful. I cannot say enough great things about Rob and the outstanding quality of his work. He’s very professional and has been quick and helpful to respond to us to this day. I HIGHLY recommend him as a photographer for any occasion. Thank you, Rob!!"
"Rob, Jill, and their team were always available to talk with us through options. It is not easy managing a huge family wedding and coordinating family photos. They did an amazing job making everyone comfortable, familiarizing themselves with parts of the ceremony that were important to us, and being there even before we were. Rob also worked with us on our engagement photo shoot which allowed us to get to know him and for him to learn our personalities, and the kinds of photos we wanted. I can't say enough about how much we appreciated their vision and time to create amazing memories for us. Absolutely loved their passion for all they do. Thank you all!!!"
"Rob was absolutely terrific. He was responsive, had awesome ideas, and most importantly his photos are incredible! Rob took our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Not only did he take his time and make sure that every photo was perfect, but he also made everyone feel comfortable. He engaged everyone with his warm personality and was truly the highlight of our wedding vendors! He is the best photographer in Northern Florida!"
"ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!! Rob was great in every way - he tells love stories and you can tell he loves what he does. He gets to know the people he's shooting and works hard to tell your unique story. He felt like another friend amongst the crowd and never got in the way of any part of the wedding to get that "perfect shot." He patiently spent the entire day with us, never missing a beat - always had great energy and a positive attitude. Worked hard to make sure everyone was comfortable. Would definitely recommend him to anyone to document your special day!!"
"Rob is beyond amazing!! He is very passionate about his job and that is something I was wanting. Wedding photo are not something you can reenact... And my husband and I again that was the most important expense cor our special day. We met Rob back in 2012 at a football game. The BEST sense of humor, polite, respectful, and does a great job of making you feel comfortable and the center of attention. Not only did Rob shoot our wedding perfectly and drove 8 hours to us to make it happen. If you looking for an amazing photographer for ANY occasion Rob is you guy! Rob made our day very special and was so much more than just a photographer!!!"
"We knew we wanted to work with Rob Futrell about 2 minutes into our meeting with him. He is energetic, enthusiastic and so very helpful in every way. His team goes above and beyond to make your wedding day the easiest day of your life. As for the quality of the photos, there is no comparison. I can't say that I love being in front of the camera, but Rob and his amazing team kept the mood light and fun throughtout the whole day. You aren't hiring a photographer, you are hiring a right-hand man who will above all make sure you are comfortable and worry-free. We hope to work with Rob in the future. I wouldn't choose anyone else to capture the most important days of our lives."
"Rob is AMAZING! He is very passionate about his work. We met Rob back in 2012 at a football game. He sent us some random photos he took of us and then I had to check out his website!!! Our jaws dropped... Rob drove 8 hours to capture our wedding,and he did it PERFECTLY!!.. If your looking for an amazing photographer for ANY occasion ROB IS YOUR GUY!!! ROB made sure everything was going smooth and was so much more than just "our photographer"."
"Rob Futrell was a true professional throughout my wedding process. Rob helped me choose the best time to start my outside wedding for the most appropriate sun light. He offered his assistance to myself and my now husband multiple times throughout the process and he really made us feel like we weren't just another client. His photographs are creative and makes sure that you get the photos you want. I highly recommend Rob!"
"Rob's work speaks for itself, but what you can't see in his photos is the professionalism and personal touch that he puts into every job. He understood the importance of including our daughter in everything and he created some amazing shots with her. Both our engagement and wedding photos were phenomenal. Rob's energy is contagious. His passion for his craft is evident in all of his work. He went above and beyond all of our expectations and we could not be happier with our photos. I would recommend Rob to anyone who wants amazing photos to capture their special day."
"Photography was the most important aspect of the wedding to my husband and I. We looked at several photographers and none of them had that special something we were looking for. Not to mention we also wanted someone talented and adventurous enough to do an underwater engagement shoot. When we saw Rob's work, we were hooked. And, not only was he game for an underwater photo shoot, he was just as excited as we were! He jumped in the freezing water with us and coached us through the shoot with patience and good humor. We had a blast! When we received our engagement photos, we were taken about with how amazing they were. We used them for our save the dates and our guestbook and received tons of compliments. I have a couple on my desk at work and receive compliments still. Months later, the wedding finally arrived. I was so nervous, I hardly knew what to do with myself. Both my fiance and I are a little camera shy (and I'm a touch self-conscious), but Rob has a way of making you comfortable in front of the camera. His clear direction, friendliness and funny jokes/comments put you at ease and create wonderful pictures. Several of my family and friends commented on how great he was as well. When just received our wedding photos back (much earlier than expected too) and they are beyond what we could have imagined. He is truly an artist. Choosing a photographer is not simply another item to cross off the wedding checklist. It's choosing the person who is going to capture the moments you are going to cherish for the rest of your life. It's hard for me to put into words just how lucky I felt on that day; how incredible it was to marry the love of my life with all our friends and family surrounding us, but that's okay. Rob's photos capture that. When I look at them I feel that whirlwind of emotions again. If that's how you want to feel when you look at your wedding photos, choose Rob. He is worth every penny."

"Rob was/is an AMAZING photographer! Not only is passionate about what he does, he was so much fun to work with. When my husband and I met with Rob for the first time, we had already interviewed 4 other photographers and hadn't been blown away by any of them. As we sat at Panera with Rob, we felt like we were chatting with an old friend. We instantly felt comfortable with him, which was my number one priority (photography can be a very personal, intimate exchange, so it was important to me). It was refreshing to see someone so passionate about their art, and it was clear that Rob loved photography. The images he shared with us were breathtaking, and we couldn't wait to see how our engagement shoot would turn out. We chose to do a sunrise shoot on Vilano beach. Regardless of the cold temperatures, and battling a nasty cold, Rob was beyond excited to be there. He was so patient as he instructed the poses we requested, and came up with additional creative poses that we ended up loving. The shoot was so much fun, even my husband enjoyed it. On the day of our wedding, Rob wanted to show up early, which I was delighted to oblige. As my girls and I got ready, he stood back and silently captured all of our special moments. He was so professional, and fun! My girls and family loved him and kept raving about how awesome he was. He kept us all on schedule and made sure everything ran smoothly. He coordinated with our venue, band and DJ, so everyone was on the same page throughout the entire night. We never had to worry about a thing. If you haven't yet chosen a photographer for your wedding, or special event, I HIGHLY recommend Rob Futrell. You will not regret your decision. Not only was he our wedding photographer, but he will continue to photograph and capture all of our special life events."
"This is just a partial review in that I have only watched Rob in action shooting my daughter's bridal portraits today in Flagler College in St. Augustine, and will share more when he actually shoots the wedding in 2 1/2 weeks, but I just couldn't wait to share! If you are looking for a dedicated, fast, supportive, humorous, creative photographic genius, then book Rob today! My daughter had somewhat dreaded her photoshoot for several reasons: it was happening on a holiday ( yes, Rob was willing to work on a national holiday in order to accommodate my daughter's work schedule); her dress weighs a ton; it's Florida and hot; her fiancé wanted her to go to the beach; she knew she'd have to fight tourists for parking; blah, blah, blah. What she thought would be torture turned out to be a delightful day spent with a supportive professional who made her feel - and look - like a million bucks! They spent almost three hours (twice the originally planned time), and she didn't complain once. Rob, and the hair stylist who works with him, Sarina Durden, made her feel comfortable and beautiful at every turn. I cannot wait to see the completed proofs from today - nor can I imagine just how beautiful the actual wedding day photos will be with Rob in charge! I am so grateful we found him - book him now!"
"Words aren't enough to express how amazing Rob was for our wedding. He is a stunning photographer and his final product speaks for itself. He knows how to command a wedding to get the shots he needs and you want and then he disappears into the background getting the shots you weren't expecting. We hired him for a half day shoot, we are non traditional and wanted to get our photos done prior to the ceremony and enjoy more time with our guests. Our wedding was in St. Augustine which he knows very well and took us to some really nice spots. It's more than the wonderful photos he takes, Rob was a great person to have at our wedding offering help with anything he could when he wasn't taking photos. He came highly recommended to us and exceeded every expectation."
"Where do I start with the fabulous Rob Futrell. At the very least, he provided us with the most magical photos we could have asked for. That should be expected from one of the top photographers in St. Augustine. But we also had the most engaging, exciting, and entertaining person accompanying us throughout our day. He is extremely responsive and friendly, but also a visionary. His photos are timeless, honest, and captured the joy and fun that we will always remember from our wedding day. After witnessing such boring or (God forbid) terrible photographers in our friend's wedding, not only were we lucky enough to have someone as wonderful as Rob as our photographer, but also as someone we'll keep in our lives forever. Thank you Rob!"
"From the minute we met Rob, it was awesome. He completely understood what we wanted out of the photography and 'got us'. The day of our wedding Rob showed up with a fever and you knew all he wanted was to be in bed, but he was a trooper, stuck it out and gave us the most beautiful wedding photos! No sick days as a photographer. We are so grateful for his wonderful eye and his patience to put up with us."
"Rob is amazing to work with…he is beyond talented, personable, professional and creative. We hired him to shoot our engagement photos, but if I had been getting married in Jacksonville, I would have hired Rob in a heartbeat to shoot our wedding. He was open to our ideas for shots, but also had a lot of great ideas that turned out amazing! I would recommend him wholeheartedly."
"My daughter and son-in-law got married on June 8th at Charleston's reknown Magnolia Plantation & Gardens. We were so incredibly fortunate to have the photographic talents of Rob Futrell capturing their wedding weekend. The couple met Rob in St. Augustine, Florida shortly after getting engaged and really loved his work. However, they had already decided to have their wedding in Charleston, SC. They were truly grateful that Rob agreed to travel to Charleston for this momentous occasion. He and his partner (wife Jill) demonstrated a deep commitment to creating the most creative images, despite the early rain on the day of the wedding. Luckily, the rain stopped after the ceremony and the newlyweds were whisked away to the most romantic settings at Magnolia. Both returned with pure joy because of the gorgeous backdrop Rob captured on film. I would HIGHLY recommend Rob for a wedding or any special event in which you want your moments transformed into memories by Rob Futrell's artistic talent!"
"I met rob through the local yoga studio. He has great kids and his wife is awesome! When researching photographers we found that rob had great prices, quality work and was pretty prompt and reliable. We really liked the look of robs work. He did a great job on our engagement photos. He captured our engagement party beautifully. It was rainy and windy and he made the best of it! The photo booth was awesome. He is super professional and funny at the same time. Our wedding was a destination wedding on a horse farm. We had a HUGE wedding party, in the middle of no where, and it rained all day. Rob was a trooper in the rain, and the photos are AMAZING. I can't wait to share them with all our friends! the proofs are GORGEOUS. Rob was super professional and his opinion was very helpful. His assistants Sarah & Jill ( his awesome wife) were super great and did a great job managing all the men and the MASSIVE wedding party (similar to herding kittens). I commend them for their patience and how well the photos turned out. Rob worked really great with our Videographer Jay from Life and Love studios. They were both super easy to work with. I am so blessed by the weekend and it was one of the best weekends every (at least thats what me and my friends are saying). I thank you for all your help!"
"I hired Rob and his 2nd shooter, Sarah, for the entire day of my wedding. They came to the beach house when we were getting ready and were able to capture every moment while we were getting ready. Rob organized the "first look" and it was a beautiful moment. Sarah jumped in the limo with us to the wedding venue and got some great shots of the entire wedding party pre-partying (a little non-traditional, but it was so fun!). Rob was so great at capturing all those special candid moments during our wedding and reception, and he was also wonderful with the little kids! Our wedding was outdoors and even though it was a grey cloudy day on the St. Johns River, the photos turned out magical. His use of lighting and composition is outstanding, so talented. Rob was so much fun to work with! I would highly recommend him if you're getting married in the St. Augustine/Jacksonville area!"
"My husband and I interviewed 9 photographers in the Northeast Florida area for our wedding. After the first 15 minutes of chatting with Rob, we instantly felt a connection. We were all laughing and joking, just having a good time. Rob gave off this cool, calm energetic vibe that was a great combination of both my husband and I. Rob was a pleasure to work with. He made sure both my husband and I were in the loop at all times. Our bridal party absolutely adores him. Rob made sure we were comfortable and happy during the most stressful times. He was attentive and gave great energy the whole way through- from the stressful rainy rehearsal dinner to our wonderful spanker exit. Rob truly has a great gift and it shows through his passion for photography. Rob definitely goes above and beyond ones expectations! He was truly AMAZING! Oh yeah, we can’t forget Victoria- his wonderful assistant. They are truly a great team! I would recommend him to anyone who is ready for a friendship! Rob makes it a point to keep in touch with my husband and I! This shows a great characteristic of an awesome photographer! We can’t wait to have an event or a BABY shoot with Rob Futrell!"
"Rob Futrell was a complete God send! We found each other a month after I was engaged to my husband. Stressed with so many wedding to-do's, I was sure I was not going to be able to find a photographer in our budget. Funny how God provided though. My husband and I met Rob in February and planned our engagement shoot with him only days later. The shoot was magical and his artwork was divine. We received our photos very promptly (and I was very anxious I might add). Shortly after buying my dress, I scheduled a bridal shoot with him. This turned out to be my favorite shoot with him. He shot all around downtown Saint Augustine, making me feel a princess the entire time. Honestly, It was almost as fun as the wedding day itself. After being so enthralled with the engagement and bridal shoots, we were smitten with our wedding photographer. June 22, 2013, Rob Futrell captured every beautiful and silly moment of our day. Hours upon hours taking photos and days upon days editing photos... We were so impressed! I have not one complaint. He is hands down - the best photographer. I recommend him for any shoot, anytime, with anyone."
"I've worked with Rob on a few projects by this point and wanted to take a minute to write a review for anyone searching for a great photographer. First, let me say that Rob's passion for photography is infectious and gets everyone excited who works with him. Then, when you see the quality of his work, you know you've picked the right photographer. His professionalism and dedication to his craft is awestrucking. Rob's vision and the way that he captures a picture and makes you feel like you are part of the moment is simply beautiful. From professional headshots, to parties, proposals, weddings, maternity photos and all of the things in between, Rob would be the perfect photographer to follow you and capture all of your beautiful moments in life."
"Rob has a willingness to catch the most candied moments effortlessly. This is one of the many reason why I chose him to be my Wedding Photographer. He stands out from the rest when it comes to his style. He was very flexible and professional and I absolutely just love my wedding pictures! It was a pleasure having him around capturing my special day. He is amazing!!"
"Rob has done a variety of photo shoots for me - professional head shots, event photos, a series of couple shots - and he unfailingly produces amazing results. I'm naturally camera-shy, and Rob does a wonderful job of putting me at ease and helping me be comfortable in front of the lens. In addition to the experience of having the photos taken, the quality and care that go into editing and post-production are evident in the final products. Rob is my go-to for any professional photography needs; he's my instant recommendation for anything from head shots to weddings, and everything in between."
"Rob took photos of my two sisters and I when we were all together for the first time in months. He was beyond amazing. He makes what is an awkward experience for many, so easy, relaxing and fun. He makes the session really comfortable. My sisters and I had so much fun and we were so excited to see the end results. The photos were great! It didn't look like just anyone grabbed a camera and took the photos, which is what I see a lot lately. You can tell Rob, loves what he does and really wants the customers to love the experience and results too."
