Ashley + Devin | A Stunning Ceremony & Reception to Remember
It’s hard to believe Ashley and Devin are about to have their one-year anniversary… it’s seems like just last week! These pictures take us back to their amazing wedding event. They are such a radiant couple and it was a pleasure to photograph this special time in their life.
We started with a wet, but wonderful engagement photo session at the Jacksonville Zoo which Ashley used for her save-the-date cards. When the big event finally arrived, the wedding weekend began with a festive “Welcome Reception” at River City Brewing Company and ended with a lovely “Farewell Brunch” at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse off Jacksonville’s beautiful St Johns River. And in the middle was this most fabulous wedding at the Zoo and Gardens. Favorite Photography was on hand to capture the non-stop wedding bliss.
Ashley’s dress was stunning and the pop of pink she used in her flowers and details was a perfect accent color. The natural shades and vibrant pinks looked lovely against all the greens of the Zoo’s botanical gardens.
The subtle hints of wild animal prints capped off their zoo theme in a fun yet elegant way.
Devin and Ashley did a “First Look” so they could enjoy exploring the zoo with their bridal party. It also help them eliminate some of those pre-ceremony jitters and gave them plenty of time for formal (and FUN) photos!
We truly love being wedding photographers and words can not express how joyous these moments are, but feel our work comes pretty darn close to capturing the emotions perfectly.
We are so thankful to work with such amazing people and appreciate their feedback, like this review on WeddingWire: “Favorite Photography was beyond amazing throughout the entire process of my wedding. My engagement photos, and then three different wedding events a year later (Welcome Reception, Wedding Day, Farewell Brunch) were all captured using this team. I still can’t believe how many pictures I have to sort through to choose the ones for my wedding album – that’s a great problem, to have too many photos to choose from! Their prints are extremely high quality, and I HIGHLY recommend purchasing proofing albums to help you in your selection for the main wedding album. These proofing albums also allow you to have every single picture taken in one place, at your fingerprints! They have been NEEDED in pouring over my pictures. I’d refer Favorite Photography to any of my friends…their professionalism and photography skills cannot be beat!” – Ashley
Many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Sivels for choosing us to be your photographers and congratulations on your anniversary!

Robert + Karla | Serenata Beach Club Wedding Photography
Ponte Vedra Beach Wedding Photographer | Favorite Studios | Photography + Cinematography
We were honored to be chosen as Karla and Robert’s photographers for their beautiful wedding day!
They had a perfect beach themed wedding that even a light rain showers could not dim. The clouds parted and the happy couple was able to have the beach ceremony they dreamed of out on the deck of Serenata Beach Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Karla selected lovely colors of soft lavender, vibrant purple, sea green and sky blue that offset her gorgeous white, mermaid wedding gown and Robert’s tan tux. Star fishes and sea shells were woven through the decorations and party favors to complete the beach motif.

Fall Wedding Keeler Property | Amanda + Ryan | Photography by Karen + Jerry Favorite
Time certainly feels like it flies by way to fast, but there are those special events that we remember no matter how long it’s been. Amanda and Ryan’s wedding will be one of those for sure. From the amazing location of The Keeler Property venue to the perfect Florida weather in autumn, beautiful bride and groom, wonderfully fun friends and family, to their adorable decorations, details and party favors, it was a truly fabulous wedding. The Keeler bridge and barn was the ideal setting for their rustic wedding. The fall bouquets with wheat and sunflowers were just the right touch for a “Southern Charm” theme. And don’t forget Amanda’s cowgirl boots and adorable “Gettin’ Hitch” wagon for the flower girl!

Wonderful Atlantic Beach Wedding Photos | James and Christina
Jerry and Karen Favorite loved being their beach wedding photographer videographer team. James and Christina tied the knot in November. They are a fantastic couple and we were so happy to be chosen as their photographer and videographer to capture their elegant wedding. One Ocean Resort at Atlantic Beach was the prefect oasis for their beautiful beach ceremony and reception.
We loved the architectural design elements, modern details and hanging sculptures at the One Ocean Resort and Spa venue. Christina selected a stunning bridal gown with ornate lace over a strapless bodice creating sheer cap sleeves, a tulle skirt with modest train, chic silver shoes and a long flowing veil. The bridesmaids in Tiffany blue and soft mint green dresses looked perfect for a beach wedding. James, the groom, and his groomsmen were debonair in charcoal gray tuxedos and stylish with blue and green stripped socks.

Nocatee Wedding Photographers, Karen and Jerry Favorite, enjoyed capturing this perfect spring wedding at the lovely Crosswater Hall in Ponte Vedra, Florida.

St Augustine Wedding Photography | by Karen and Jerry Favorite | Favorite Studios
Nothing like a great love and a perfect wedding day of happiness with family and friends! Samantha was shared her and Chris’s story to go along with some of our favorite pictures from their St Augustine wedding photography at the historic Trinity Episcopal Church ceremony and beautiful White Room reception:
“We are High School sweethearts originally from Long Island, NY. After High School, Sam moved to St. Augustine to go to Flagler College while Chris went to school in New Hampshire. Two years later and after a few visits to the awesome city of St. Augustine, Chris transferred to Flagler to finish up his last two years of school. We graduated in 2011 and both landed teaching jobs. In the Spring of 2013, Chris proposed to Sam in beautiful Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.

We were both so excited for our wedding, but never wanted anything too elaborate or crazy. Our ceremony was in the historic Trinity Episcopal Church that we love. This church is so quaint and beautiful! For our reception, we had looked at multiple places…originally wanting a backyard beach wedding to keep it fun and simple…but fun and “simple” was the opposite of what having a backyard wedding was turning out to be the more we looked into it!
We were so happy with having it at the Loft & Rooftop – we loved the exposed brick walls, wood floors, and of course the balcony overlooking the city that we had grown so much together in! This venue was perfect for our rustic/vintage wedding and the food is incredible to say the least. With over 100 of our guests being from out of state…we were thrilled they were getting to experience beautiful St. A for a few days! Everyone said that planning a wedding was stressful – and yes, at times it was a lot…. but all of the vendors we found made it so simple.
Our photographers, Karen and Jerry Favorite, were more than awesome! They were the first ones we sat down with when trying to find photographers and they seemed so professional, fun and easy-going that it was an easy decision. They know how to capture the best moments without you even knowing they are really there. They took a perfect mix of fun, candid shots, yet still were able to get all of the beautiful family/friends pictures we wanted. They also got so many shots of the “details” of our wedding! They are so fun and creative with the shots that they take. When creating our album we had to add extra pages because there were too many pictures we loved!
Our other vendors far exceeded what we had in mind as well. 57 Treasury did a beautiful job with our “wildflower” bouquets and centerpieces. They also were kind enough to let us borrow some of their unique pieces from their studio – pieces of driftwood, vintage votives for the tables, wine barrels, and so much more! They were a lot of fun to work with and added so much beauty to the overall night!
Sweet Weddings not only has the most delicious cakes, but they did a great job creating 3 small, beautiful cakes that tied in perfectly with the theme of our wedding.
Chillula was exactly what we had in mind as far as a live band for our rooftop wedding! They got everyone up and dancing and played songs that all of our guests knew and loved! Everyone had a blast and actually started chanting asking for one more song when the end of the night rolled in!

Lauren and Kurt’s beautiful ceremony and fabulous reception both took place at The Golf Club of Fleming Island in Florida. Their wedding day was picture perfect, from the venue, service and even the Florida weather could not have been nicer. With adorable details, great family, friends, bridal party and the cutest little boys ever, it was hard to narrow down our favorite photos.

Geoffrey & Katherine Coleman had a gorgeous wedding on a beautiful, breezy spring day. The bridal party pictures began with the candid “getting ready” photos and dreamy detail shots at Jacksonville’s Riverfront Hyatt Regency.
These crisp green and golden apples in the bridal suite were a perfect trio to display the wedding rings. Geoffrey and all his groomsmen had custom cuff links and embroidered names for a dashing touch to their stylish, charcoal gray suits.
Katherine’s elegant wedding gown was a show-stopper and she looked so pretty with her long veil and princess tiara. The Tiffany “I Love You” charms with their K and G initials were a charming gift. The happy couple had many custom details that incorporated their chic spring theme and color scheme of bright greens.

Friends and family came together to celebrate Katherine and Geoffrey’s unity at The First Baptist Church of Mandarin in Jacksonville.
The festivities moved over to Jacksonville’s University Club on the south bank of the St. Johns River. Breathtaking views of the skyline and waterways – great backdrops for the wedding cake and photos of the bride and groom.
Katherine and Geoffrey are such a classy couple! You can just see how happy and in love they are. A true pleasure to work with and we thank them for the opportunity to photograph their special day and make their stunning wedding album they will cherish for many, many years.

Katie and Andrew are one of our “Favorite” couples! They are just too cute for words. Their passion for life and for each other radiates in these wedding day pictures. Jerry and Karen Favorite had a wonderful time photographing their church ceremony and TPC Sawgrass wedding photos.
The wedding day began at Chets Creek Church with a heartfelt ceremony. Katie’s gown was stunningly elegant and the flowers with soft pinks were gorgeous. Andrew and his groomsmen cleaned up pretty nicely too. And while everyone looked formal and fabulous, the bridal party added a twist with casual Converse shoes.

The memorable reception took place at TPC Sawgrass. The Mediterranean style clubhouse is a picture perfect location for photos, both formal and fun! I believe we may even have caught a few super heroes on the run. But all joking aside, they are truly a beautiful couple inside and out. We are so happy to have been chosen to photograph their wedding and capture all these special moments.
