Rob & Jill Futrell
St. Augustine Family & Beach Photographer
Beach sessions, lifestyle portraits, and milestone moments around St. Augustine—images you'll treasure for generations.
Family Photography That Feels Like You
We're Rob and Jill—a husband-and-wife photography team in St. Augustine, Florida. Rob sees light and composition. Jill reads the room and knows when your toddler needs a two-minute chase break. After 2,500+ sessions, we've figured out how to make people forget we're even there.
Our style is timeless and relaxed—natural light, genuine connections, guided poses mixed with spontaneous ones. Kids can run, teenagers can roll their eyes, grandparents can sit when they need to. We embrace the chaos because that's what makes the best photos.

Beach Family Photography in St. Augustine
Beach sessions are our most requested booking. We photograph at St. Augustine Beach, Vilano Beach, Anastasia State Park, and Crescent Beach — we pick the right spot based on crowds, tide, and your preferences.
Golden hour—the 1-2 hours before sunset—gives the best light for beach family photos. Soft sun, warm tones, and no squinting. What to expect: sand, wind, kids running toward the water, and gorgeous results. We get the posed shots you need and the candid scenes you'll treasure.
Visiting on vacation? We work around your schedule and can meet you at your rental, hotel, or the nearest beach access. Many families book us as part of their St. Augustine trip.
Downtown & Historic Spots
Not a beach crowd? Downtown St. Augustine offers cobblestone streets, Spanish architecture, and shaded courtyards. We love the Lightner Museum, Flagler College, and Aviles Street. Morning light works best — we beat the crowds and the heat.
Extended Family & Multi-Generation Sessions
Reunions, grandparents visiting, milestone celebrations—getting everyone in one frame, including the person who usually holds the camera.
We've worked with groups of 30+ and know how to organize large crowds without losing natural expressions. We get the full group, then break into smaller groupings: grandparents with grandkids, siblings, cousins.
Mini Shoots
Short, sweet, and seasonal. Mini shoots are 20-30 minutes at a curated location on set dates—perfect for returning clients or first-timers. We offer minis for Nights of Lights, spring blooms, and summer evenings. Get notified when dates are announced →
Senior Portraits
Our senior shoots capture who you are right now—not stiff yearbook shots, but natural, expressive results. Beach, downtown, nature, or locations meaningful to you. Multiple outfits and spots for variety.
Book the summer before senior year for fall delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about family photography
Most shoots run 60-90 minutes, giving us plenty of time for different groupings and outfit changes if desired. Extended groups may run longer depending on size.
Kids are unpredictable—that's part of what makes them wonderful. We embrace the chaos and know how to work with wiggly toddlers and reluctant teenagers. Some of our best work comes from unscripted scenes. Relax and let them be kids.
Golden hour—the 1-2 hours before sunset—gives us the finest light. The sun is soft, the shadows are flattering, and the colors are gorgeous. We'll recommend exact timing based on the season.
For peak season (March-May and October-November), we recommend booking 3-4 weeks ahead. Mini shoots and holiday dates fill quickly—join our email list for early access. For off-peak times, we can often accommodate shorter notice.
Absolutely. If you're staying in a beach house or Airbnb with a great view, we're happy to come to you. Some love starting at their rental and walking to the beach. We'll make it work with your vacation schedule.
Kind Words from Families
From first sessions to yearly traditions
"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."
"We had Rob and Jill take our family photos. AMAZING experience. Not only were they personable, they made us feel comfortable and captured some amazing moments."
"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."
"We have trusted Rob and Jill Futrell with some of the most meaningful moments of our lives, and they never disappoint. From engagement photos to welcoming our baby, they’ve captured each season with so much care, creativity, and attention to detail. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and genuinely cared about telling our story through their work. We are so thankful to have photographers who feel more like family and whose work we will treasure forever. We highly recommend the Futrells to anyone looking for timeless, heartfelt photos."
"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."
"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."
"The Futrell's have captured our family memories since 2020!! They just recently completed a holiday shoot for us! The entire experience from start to finish was wonderful as always. Jill and Rob always make you feel welcomed and at ease. Every shot feels timeless and I know we will cherish these for years to come. On top of the amazing quality of the photographs they are professional and always communicate back efficiently! There is no one else we will use to photograph our family memories ♥️ they are the BEST"
"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!"
"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!"
"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."
"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!"
"Rob and Jill are a dream team. We booked them without a hesitation as Rob's work speaks for itself. The way they made my husband and I feel so at ease on a nerve-racking day was remarkable as we're not ones to really like posing for photos. He was able to capture our personalities and document the entire day so beautifully!"
"Amazing Photographer and great to work with! Rob has done many photos for us and we always enjoy working with him. Hee is so talented and just such a kind person. We would recommend him to anyone."
"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!"
"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!!"
"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!"
"Absolutely amazing photographer and company! Rob and Jill make you feel as part of their family and it was important to them to capture the special moments of the day. I am not normally photogenic but Rob made me feel relaxed and captured some great images of me and our day. Rob and Jill are a great team and they wanted the best backgrounds for what we had in mind. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. We will be using them for our yearly family photos from now on!"
"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!!! 🤍🤍💕💕🎉"
"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."

"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. :)"

"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!"

"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."
"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 ❤"
"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!!!"
"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!"
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"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."

"Best Team Ever! You can end your photographer search here! I couldn't have asked for a better team, Rob & Jill are amazing. It's very rare to find a couple like them! Rob makes you feel comfortable from the get-go, is beyond professional, and goes above and beyond for you the entire night! I feel that Rob & Jill made us all feel like family - and I am so happy that they got to capture my special day. 100% if you're on the fence, jump off and hire Rob & Jill - LOVE YOU GUYS!"
"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! :)"
"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."
"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!"
"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"

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!"
"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!"
"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!"
"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!!!"
"Rob always goes above and beyond in everything he does. I don't like to be in front of the camera often but he made it a fun and relaxing day for me. Rob has this special way of charming the room he is in and honestly makes the big day so much better! I highly recommend Rob and will guarantee that you will be impressed by the quality of his work and the amazing personality of the man behind the camera!"
"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 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."

"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."
"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 and his family are incredibly talented. He captured family moments and created treasured memories on top of creating a masterpiece of my daughter's day. You can't ask for a better photographer."
"Very professional & easy to work with. We felt like he was a member of our family!"
"We are so thankful for Rob and his amazing wife Jill. They came through for us in a pinch and blew us away with their absolute willingness to go the extra mile in helping make lasting memories for our son and his fiancé in taking spectacular engagement photos."
"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."
"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."
"I hired Rob Futrell for editorial photography over a year ago and continually use him every month for photography projects. He makes my job remarkably simple because I'm always guaranteed the perfect image. He genuinely cares about every single person he photographs and as a result (and addition to his extensive technical knowledge of photography in general), he's able to capture the most beautiful images of people who "don't like to have their picture taken." I rarely meet a photographer who calms the nerves of everyone they come into contact with like Rob does. An all around great guy and exceptionally professional photographer."
"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."
"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!"
"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'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!"
"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!"
"It's rare to find a photographer that not only knows the mechanics of taking good photos, but also has the creativity and talents to turn those photos into memories that capture not only a moment, but a feeling. When you see a picture that moves you to get a little misty, and takes you back to that moment, and you get that overwhelming feeling to hug that person, or laugh all over again - that's what Rob does. I'm not related. I didn't get paid to write this. I'm just a fan that knows exceptional talents and can't wait to experience Rob's again. Cameras take pictures. Photographers create memories. Don't trust your to anyone else."
"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 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 Futrell is a fantastic photog. I highly recommend him. I have trusted him to take a range of pictures for me--professional headshots, volunteering with an animal friendly group in town. But most importantly he captured our maternity photo shoot and our newborn's announcement photo shoot beautifully. We will forever be grateful for the beautiful moments he captured. And Rob was so patient with my requests for "no cheesey" pictures. He worked with us to get action shots (non posing shots) and some great candids. These are moments we will never get back, but are captured forever. Thank you Rob! -Monica, Javi and Baby Olive"
"Rob is hands down the best photographer I've ever worked with. I have used him for both professional and personal jobs, and the first thing you notice is the calmness and ease he brings to the trade. He knows how to get the best image out of the most awkward of models (speaking of myself). Looking at his images, it's also obvious that Rob has a drive for constant refinement, which means that his work is continually evolving into something more exciting. From year-to-year (month-to-month, even), you will get a refreshing newness through the lens of Rob Futrell."
