Jacksonville Wedding Photographers; Jerry and Karen Favorite | Favorite Studios Photography + Cinematography based in St. Augustine, FL

Simple Outside Wedding

Katie and Josh got married in April 2019 at Guana State Park in Florida. However, the couple decided to take some of their pictures before the ceremony began. The first look, posed couple, and solo pictures were all taken in front of the beautiful greenery.

Being Yourself in Photos

Creating a safe and fun environment is key. We find it very important to make the couple feel comfortable in front of the camera. This allows for the best pictures. So remember, when in front of a camera act like yourself and have fun with it.

As a family team we think it is important to capture every moment of a wedding. This includes the fun candid pictures as well as your formal posed pictures.

Wedding details are everything! Also, who doesn’t like a bedazzled heel?

Custom Cups

Katie and her bridesmaids all had custom glasses that they used while getting ready. They all also had cute matching getting ready outfits that were “photo ready.”

Soft Blues with Green & White Accents

First of all Katie & Jake chose to have leafy green bouquets at their outdoor wedding. Secondly, they chose to have the bridesmaids wear different shades of light blue. Lastly, they tied it all together by having the groomsmen where blue ties.

On her wedding day Katie wore simplistic jewelry. Including a simple line necklace and floral diamond earrings. More is less with this gorgeous spring wedding.

We love Katie’s bridal bouquet. It has a variety of greens mixed with a few white roses. These colors blend in beautifully with their wedding location at a state park.

Katie and Jake kept the decor simple, but elegant. Little details such as blue napkins helped tie in their ocean colors. In addition, they have greenery with candles as the center pieces and on signs.

Boho Wedding at State Park

This gorgeous outside location had a patio overlooking the water. Which is where Katie and Josh decided to say “I do.” They had an elegant white lattice arch with blue ribbons.

Posed shots by the water. After the ceremony we took Katie & Jake by the water to get more pictures of the two of them.

The theme of nature came through on the wedding cake. This simple white cake was draped in colorful succulents and sat on an antique style platter.

Wedding details galore. Our happy couple had their full names written on their champagne flutes.

Guana State Park was the perfect waterside location for this small wedding. The sun set right above the water allowing us to capture these vibrant pictures of the couple during the reception.

Bubble Exit

Their Boho Wedding at a State Park ended with a grand bubble exit. We go crazy for bubbles. Last year we shot a wedding where at the end of the ceremony guests blew bubbles. Check it out here.

Daniell’s Holiday Family Photos at Downtown St. Augustine

Holiday Family Photos

The Daniel family hired us to take cute holiday photographs at their house in Jacksonville. Often times, families prefer shoots at their own homes. We love going on location for any shoot. Hopefully you get some Holiday Family Photo Inspiration from this post.

Importance of Family

When taking pictures of big families we find it important to get a picture of each generations. Here is the grandfather, father, and his two sons.

We are a third generation company, and have been taking pictures for a long time. Therefore, we value capturing every moment for every family. Also, it is important to us that you get the best quality pictures.

Holiday Prop Inspo

This gorgeous couple placed poinsettias all around the property that made the shoot are festive. Also, they used festive boxes and home decor as photo props.

This happy family of three placed their baby in a festive basket that said “do not open until December 25”!

Baby Della

These props were our favorite. We love all the red and green for Christmas. All the colors make for great Holiday Family Photo Inspiration. We also, love the cute “made fresh Candy Cane Lane” box. Recently we shot a “Baby’s First Birthday” at the Vilano Beach. Check out the cute ballon props by clicking here.

This grandpa has two babies in his life (his car and granddaughter). On occasion, clients will request that we take special photos of them and their car. We love this because it allows for the families personality to shine through the images.

Matching is Key

Many families wear coordinating outfits on the day of their shoot. Especially when the pictures are for holiday cards. These holiday family photos have white and blue as their color scheme.

Candid Holiday Family Pictures

You never quite know what pose or facial expression a child is going to make. As a result, we are always are on our toes and ready for the perfect candid. For candid family pictures by St. Augustine’s beach check out this link.

Experience = Best Locations

Having been photographers in Florida for so long we know the best places for pictures. We have shot everything from weddings to proposals to families in downtown. Therefore, we know the best spots for pictures in downtown St. Augustine.

Tabitha + Vincent’s Real Wedding at The Lightner Museum of Downtown Saint Augustine, Florida

Video Packages

Jerry is our main videographer. We offers special bonuses to the brides when they book video. For example, Jerry sets up multiple cameras during the wedding ceremony. All of the different angles make the video flow better than most. At the end of this blog is a quick 2 min video of Tabitha and Vincent’s wedding. In addition, you can check watch our other videos on our Vimeo.

Has Anyone Seen the Rings? Tabitha had custom signs made for her big day.

The One in White

Tabitha wore a stunning white mermaid dress for her wedding. Her dress was also covered in beaded lace. Most noteworthy, is the plunging neckline and her pearl necklace. Along with her bouquet of white roses.

Tabitha and Vincent’s bridal party was filled with energy. Their Real Wedding at the Lightner Museum was magical.

Real Wedding at the Lightner Museum

Tabitha and Vincent planned time after the ceremony for pictures. Therefore they had time to take beautiful photographs.

We love our cake here at Favorite Studios. Especially the ones with cute or funny toppers. For more wedding blogs and cake inspo check out our most current post.

Lauren + Dylan’s Beautiful Wedding Ceremony at St Johns Presbyterian Church and Reception at The Florida Yacht Club

Personalized Album Wedding Design

Many brides choose to get an album included in their photography package. Most importantly, each album is individually designed (no templates). Plus the bride picks every photograph. Not only do we design, but we print and bind each album by hand.

Classic Jacksonville Wedding Photographers

Lauren and her father did a first look before the wedding ceremony. We love shooting these happy moments because of the smiles!

We’re in love with Lauren’s classic wedding dress! Firstly, her jeweled sash is beautiful. Secondly, is her floral lace mermaid wedding gown. Last but not least, we found her cap sleeve lace illusion breath taking.

Gold, gold, and more gold. We love these sequin bridesmaids dresses.

Lauren and Drew got married at St Johns Presbyterian Church.

St Johns Presbyterian Church

Lauren and Drew’s first kiss as a married couple!

“Love is Sweet” party favors. Custom labeled jars filled with mints.

The Florida Yacht Club

This seaside location was perfect for pictures. In addition, it was the perfect location for their reception. Guests were able to look out of the windows to watch the sun set behind the Jacksonville skyline.

Did someone say cake? Lauren and Drew had a simple white, gold, and black wedding cake. Most importantly the cake tasted fabulous.

Jacksonville Wedding Reception

We pride ourselves in capturing almost every moment. However, it is hard to be in two places at once. In other words, the more photographers the better. For example, if this wedding had only one photographer we may not have gotten this picture of the bride and groom dancing.

Lauren and Drew exited their classic wedding with style! All guests were given sparklers to light up the couple’s grand exit.

Sarah + Drew’s Senior Pictures

This couple shot their senior pictures with us. They posed separate and together. The couple even brought their own props! We went to downtown St. Augustine to capture these senior portraits. In addition we’ve shot a ballerina in downtown as well. As St. Augustine Senior Photographers we love to see how one location can be shot in so many ways.

St. Augustine Senior Photographer

St. Augustine is known for its historic fort. Therefore, the happy seniors posed at the historic Matanzas Fort. Sarah is a proud knight showing off her acceptance to UCF!!! We absolutely love this UCF flag as props for Sarah’s senior portraits. During our senior sessions we love seeing students who bring fun props. They add so much to the shoots.

Go Gators! Go Knights! One couple two colleges. And one classic St. Augustine Senior Photographer.

We love all the unique spots in downtown. For example we love the classic red gate. Similarly we love the lively marina.

After downtown St. Augustine we took a trip to the marina. Last but not least, we are proud to call ourselves St. Augustine Senior Photographers!

Hannah Favorite’s Jacksonville Senior Photos

First of all, Hannah is our daughter and our employee. Shooting her senior photos was such a proud moment. Secondly, it is crazy how our little girl has grown up so fast. We are so honored to have captured this important time in her life.

We added a natural aspect to this Jacksonville shoot by shooting at Treaty Oak Park.

Urban Themed Senior Pictures

After all that nature Hannah wanted to add some contrast. Hannah edited a Jacksonville engagement shoot. The photos gave her the amazing idea to do her senior pictures in downtown Jacksonville, Florida with all of the vibrant murals.

Finding the perfect pose for any picture is hard. However, Hannah made posing on stairs look easy.

How are these cute steps? Above all we loved adding these industrial steps to break up all the color.

We saw this blue wall and just had to capture it! We love how these tumblr Senior Photos are filled with color.

Graduation Announcement Cards

As a mother and daughter team we designed Hannah’s graduation announcement cards. Seniors have been sending announcements out to family for decades. Her cards were more modern, but we can design all kinds of custom cards from graduation to save the date cards.

Kirsten + Stephen Hand’s Traditional Spring Wedding

We loved shooting the Hand’s Traditional Spring Wedding in Jacksonville, FL this year. We shot their engagement photos earlier this year at Hanna Park. Also, engagement sessions are great because they give us a chance to collaborate with the couple before the big day.

“Love laughter & happily ever after” wedding sign.

Kirsten wore her medium length hair in a classic up do on her wedding day. She also braided in a beautiful hair accessory.

The bridal bouquet for this colorful spring wedding included soft shades of pink, peach, and blush. The pastel colors of Spring!

Wedding Location: Jacksonville Golf and Country Club

We are just in love with this Jacksonville wedding venue. We shot Sheri + Michael at this same venue in 2017.

Did someone say polaroid? Kirsten and Stephen had a table dedicated to their photo guest book during their wedding reception. They even had their pwn wedding hostage #Handinmarriage. SO CUTE!

First dances don’t always have to be traditional. Kirsten and her father decided to speed up the beat and dance their feet off. They also decided to wear matching glasses that said “bride” and “father of the bride”. Now that’s a father daughter dance!

Sparklers!!! Kirsten and Stephan Hand left there wedding in style. Guests were all given sparklers to fly high during the newly weds grand exit.

Saint Augustine Family Photographers: Jerry, Karen and Hannah Favorite | Favorite Studios Photography + Cinematography

Saint Augustine Vacationers Family Pictures

Saint Augustine is a huge tourist destination. Families come from all around to visit our gorgeous city and get their family pictures taken. We are currently booking sessions for this summer for all interested families. These Beach Family Vacation Pictures of the Franklin family at Vilano beach are filled with energy. The family brought their won #1 balloon to act as a prop.

Happy Birthday to one-year-old Vivian! Her parents dressed her in a light pink “birthday girl” shirt. Later in the shoot Vivian’s parents switched her into a second bright pink outfit. Many families choose to pack outfit changes especially for their children.

Kids are going to be kids. Children playing in the sand or grabbing flowers always makes for the cutest candid shots.

Working with families is one of our favorite things. Getting a family of five to all smile can be hard, but is rewarding.

Florida is the perfect vacation destination to get your family pictures taken! Furthermore, we are the best Family Photographers in Saint Augustine for your Beach Family Vacation Pictures.

Baby’s First Birthday

As a team we have lots of experience shooting babies and their families! We especially loved shooting the Franklin Family.

Brandie + Josh’s Saint Augustine Winter Wedding at the Treasury on the Plaza
Saint Augustine Winter Wedding at the Treasury on the Plaza Photographers: Jerry, Karen and Hannah Favorite | Favorite Studios Photography + Cinematography

Wedding Details at the Treasury on the Plaza

Brandie and Josh’s Saint Augustine Winter Wedding at the Treasury on the Plaza was filled with vibrant purples and gold. Their silver wedding rings sparkled. Especially next to Brandie’s colorful bouquet.

The Treasury has it all. Not only does the venue has a location for the ceremony and reception. It also, has rooms for the bridesmaids and groomsmen to get ready for the big day.

Brandie and Josh both wrote their own wedding vows bringing tears to our eyes. We have noticed that more and more couples haver been choosing to write their own personalized vows. We love this because it really shows the love the bride and groom have for one another.

Usually we take the bridal party outside for pictures with the beautiful downtown backdrop. Sadly, it was raining the day of Brandie and Josh’s wedding. This did not stop us! We still captured the joy of the wedding in the gorgeous lobby of the treasury.

Brandie’s colors consisted of dark plum, black, and gold. In addition she had symmetrical draping and a cross as the background for her ceremony.

Most weddings do a little something special fro their guests. Brandie and Josh gave all their guests camera to capture the evening.

Did someone say money tree? Brandie and her father work together for a non-profit, Jay Fund. With that in mind they had a money tree where quests could attach money for the cause.
