Jacksonville Wedding Photographers
Favorite Studios Photography is our full time job. We have dedicated our lives to capturing beautiful memories so that people can enjoy them for years to come.
Wedding Details
From jewelry to table settings there are so many details to capture during a wedding. As Jacksonville Wedding Photographers we try to shoot it all! Finding those special angels and unique shots are our specialty. For this wedding we hung the bride’s earrings on the lace of her dress. This ended up being way more beautiful than we imagined. Additionally, we brought our macro lens to get amazing close-ups of the rings. Rings are a big part of weddings because they symbolize the couple’s never ending love. Recently, we had two brides that personalized their wedding bouquets by adding sentimental brooch. Click here to see more.
Personalized Wedding Ceremony
It is becoming more and more common for couples to personalize their ceremony. Often people pour sand into a glass to symbolize the merger between their lives and souls. Also, many couples write and read their own vows just like Amanda + Carson.
Nocatee Crosswater Hall in Jacksonville
This local venue has lots of great spots for pictures. First, they have the grand stairs (shown above). Secondly, they have these stunning walkway arches. Thirdly, they have lots of palm trees that scream FLORIDA! As well as, many other picture perfect spots. As Jacksonville Wedding Photographers we try and know the best places for pictures in the area.
First Dance as Husband + Wife
Amanda + Carson held their reception indoors. Right after their entrance they went straight into their first dance as husband and wife.
Let there be Cake!
This simple white wedding cake was topped with a custom gold piece. Along the cake were pink roses. The same flowers used in the bride’s bouquet. In the picture bellow the newly weds are cutting their cake.
Wedding Glow Stick Exit
Recently, we’ve been seeing more couples doing a glow stick exit. We recommend using the extra long ones as shown above. The bright colors add a vibrant glow to natural lit photos. Additionally, who doesn’t like a pop of color and playing with glow sticks.

Amelia Island Beach Wedding at the Ritz Carlton
The happy couple had their wedding ceremony on the beach, and their reception in the Ritz Carlton ballroom. Additionally, the couple and their guests all stayed at the hotel for the weekend. This is very convenient, especially for guests who come from out of town. Being able to walk from the ceremony to the reception area is trouble-free.
Personalized Details
Each wedding is unique to the couple. Often times, couples will add sentimental trinkets to their wedding. Lauran and Whitney did this by adding their grandmother’s brooches to their bridal bouquets. This sweet addition to their wedding made the day a tad more special. Also, it is a great way to remember family members that couldn’t be at the wedding.
First Look!
The Ritz Carlton in Amelia Island has a long natural lit hallway that was the PERFECT location for this first look. Lauran walked down the long hallway to her beautiful bride so they could see one another in their dresses for the first time.
Mrs & Mrs Balloons
This beautiful same-sex couple purchased two “Mrs” balloons to take pictures with. We love this creative and cute idea! Props always look great in photographs.
Intimate Wedding Ceremony
This pandemic has been difficult for everyone. Many of our customers have had to completely change their wedding. The original efficient for this couple was unable to make it to the wedding, and made an audio recording that was played during the ceremony. In the two pictures above the brides are getting emotional over the surprise recording.
This Amelia Island Beach Wedding at the Ritz Carlton was beautiful. Beach weddings are really common here in Florida, but we never get tired of photographing them. Click here to see some cool beach engagement pictures.
Fashion can be Practical
This adorable custom leather jacket actually saved Whitney from freezing. You can’t tell in these pictures, but it was freezing at Amelia Island this February day.
Picture of all the Guests
After their wedding ceremony was over we gathered all the guests together for a big group shot. It’s great getting pictures with everyone especially when most family members are from out of town. Additionally, all the guests were given leis to wear because Whitney went to university in Hawaii (another one of the personalized touches).
Time to Party
We are here for their energy! Everyone was on the dance floor having the time of their lives. The guests were even using the decorations as make-shift microphones! We love capturing these candid moments during every wedding reception.
Vilano Beach Family Pictures
Saint Augustine Family Photographer Karen and Hannah Favorite | Favorite Studios Photography + Cinematography
Vilano Beach Family Pictures
On one Spring evening in Saint Augustine, Florida two of our photographers took pictures of this beautiful family. The Lowe family selected our 1 hour family package. We met the happy family at the beach and immediately began taking pictures. We like to start off by photographing the younger children while they’re still happy (or corporative lol). Next, we shoot the individual families. Additionally, we are constantly moving locations to get a variety of backgrounds. It is very important that we get the widest range of pictures for our clients to cherish.
Flowers Make for Great Props
Often times, little children will pick up a flower or shell. This little guy did just that. His big smile lit up the beach as he played with the flowers. As shown in the pictures above. Recently, we shot a family & maternity session where the little girl also played with some flowers. To see those pictures click here.
The More the Merrier
The bigger the family, the more love and smiles they have to give. This family of 7 includes two adorable children. Additionally, they brought along grandpa for some pictures. Generational shoots like this are great because they show the entire family.
