Kelly E. Sent on 01/04/2024Gorgeous Photos - and Fabulous Team!
We chose Stout Studios and worked with Jessica and Kara for our wedding - and I am blown away by how amazing our photos are and how perfect the experience was. My husband hates taking pictures, and was dreading that portion of our wedding, but he said he enjoyed our first look and taking photos with our family and that's 100% due to how smooth and fun Jess made the experience.
They are incredibly talented photographers, and they blend in so seamlessly day of when everything is going on. And the photos speak for themselves. My family and I are so happy with how they turned out, and I just got my album in the mail, which I did through Stout, and it's stunning! And their pricing is incredibly reasonable for the quality of photos and the level of service they provide.
So so happy I chose Stout as our partner for the wedding. Can't recommend them enough! -

Elisabeth M. Sent on 07/11/2023Best experience and incredible photos!
Kara and Jes were the best! It was SO hot on our wedding day, and all the events and pictures were held outside. Kara was efficient and organized even in the heat, and provided great direction to me, my husband, bridal party, and family. They were very professional and accommodating to last minute requests on the day-of, and worked hard to get great shots both staged and candid. We were so impressed with how the photos came out as well - we've only seen the preview so far, which included pictures from each stage of our wedding day, and we can't wait to see the rest. The photos were creative and fun and everything we hoped for and more! 11/10 recommend Stout Studios!! -

I had the BEST experience with Jessica and Kara of Stout Studios! Prior to my wedding day, Jessica reviewed my pinterest photos and really captured the light-filled, emotionally-captivating photos I was looking for. I had so much fun and I was given thoughtful directions every step of the way during the photo shoot. I'm so thrilled with my experience! -

My husband and I got married at The Treasury in Saint Augustine January. We started looking for a photographer very early on in the wedding planning process. Our first communication with Stout Studios was with with Kara. She was awesome! She helped us pick the perfect package and got us very excited about the process. She is friendly, professional and informative. For our wedding day, I had Jessica and Diego. Wow!! They were organized, beyond creative and made it such a fun experience. We literally hit the jackpot! From finding the perfect lighting, to guiding our body posture, they did everything in their power to get the perfect pictures! I had some guests who had arrived early and saw some of our last photos being taken. They complimented how organized and amazing Jessica and Diego were! My family was also very impressed and everything ran very smoothly. We also ordered a wedding album and parent album from them! Those were a must because of how beautiful the selections are. We picked our images and in a matter of a few days Kara had the album proof ready for me to view! My husband and I will hold the memories of not only the photos but the whole process close to our heart. They contributed in making our wedding day perfect. I can’t wait for more milestones in our lives to use them again for photos! -

Weddings can be chaotic. However, Kara and Jes (her assistant) were very easy to work with, very calm, and very thorough. They arrived early and scouted the area for the best props, backgrounds, and lighting. Their artistry is beyond belief. When we saw Kara's initial set of pictures, approximately 1 week following the wedding, we were speechless! We hoped for the best photos to capture those special moments and received majestic pieces of art. I would definitely use Stout Photography again! -

Tabetha R. Sent on 07/24/2022Excellent job capturing our day! Highly recommend!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Stout Studios! Jessica was so wonderful to work with and did an amazing job with both our engagement photos, as well as our wedding! She was a pleasure to work with as well!! She did an excellent job giving us direction during both shoots as we aren’t the most comfortable in front of the camera and she made us look amazing! She was wonderful! She was very responsive to all calls, texts, and emails. On our wedding day, Kara worked with her to take the photos of the groom and groomsmen and to be a second shooter! We were thrilled to be working with both of them. It was a pleasure to get to know both Jessica and Kara and rely on them for such an important part of our big day! They are so talented. They both exhibited extreme professionalism, efficiency, and attentiveness to us and the details! We cannot recommend Stout Studios enough! You won’t be disappointed relying on them capturing your big day! -

20/10 would recommend! Perfection
I truly could not have imagined more perfect pictures. I didn't know anything about photography, what kind of theme I was going for, etc. I've only had professional pictures taken once or twice before, and I'm a little awkward. They sent me a questionnaire a few weeks before the wedding and I am so glad they did! Take the time to fill it out and be as detailed as you can. They went above and beyond for me (even when it was VERY hot) and made me feel comfortable and confident. There wasn't a single shot where they weren't adjusting someone or making sure it was just right, and we all looked incredible. Even in the June heat, you cannot see a bead of sweat or a hair out of place. I had a cathedral length veil and it was perfectly placed in every, single frame. I've had people reach out to me that I haven't spoken to in years and say "Your pictures are amazing! It looks like a fairytale." Don't be afraid to be detailed, I promise Jessica and Kara will work with you and make your experience wonderful. On top of all of that, they are very responsive and patient. It was worth every single penny and I would do it 100 times over. These are something you will have forever (and you will look amazing forever!). 20/10 would recommend, and will be using them for any future events. -

We loved Stout Studios! Kara was AMAZING. My husband and I hate taking pictures, but Kara made it easy to pose with step-by-step instructions and out photos turned out to be unbelievable. Family and friends told us repeatedly how they were the most beautiful wedding photos that they had ever seen. We have seen our gorgeous sneak-peak photos, but are so excited to see all of the photos! -

Stout Studios is a MUST HAVE for your Wedding Photos!
Jess & Kara are absolutely the best in the business! They photographed our wedding at The Treasury on the Plaza and not only did our photos turn our INCREDIBLE- but it was such a smooth and enjoyable experience with them! Jess and Kara are beyond organized, detailed, and beyond talented!! If you are in the market for a photography team I highly recommend Stout Studios! :) -

AMAZING Wedding Photographer
I woud reccomend Stout Studios to anyone in the St. Augustine area looking for an AMAZING wedding photogrpaher. We used them for both engagement and wedding photos and from the first interaction, everything was fantastic. Both my husband and I are not what you would consider "naturals" in front of the camera but Jessica made us feel comfortable immediately during our engagement shoot. Our wedding day was a bit breezy to say the least (I even managed to lose my veil at one point), but they knew how badly I wanted most of the photos outdoors. They went out of their way to make it happen, even stopping traffic at one point to get a quick photo by the bridge. Book Stout Studios! You won't regret it :-). -

Kara & Jess were absolutely amazing! I had the pleasure of meeting Kara earlier on in our engagement for our engagement photoshoot & she created the most beautiful portraits! Scroll through their photos and it’s a no brainer that Stout Studios has some seriously amazing talent! But what meant the world to me was their professionalism, organization, attention to detail and overall kind & friendly demeanor that just makes you want to hangout with them and get a drink after the shoot. My husband & I are awkward and not very good models… Kara has a way that just makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Her eye and attention to detail is just amazing and the way she poses you with such ease is truly a gift. We had a huge bridal party and a giant family for her to work with and she handled it like a champ! Not to mention she is so sweet and just a joy to work with! I am so thankful that Stout Studios was referred to me because they truly are the most amazing photographers and group of people. Thank you so much Kara! I truly appreciate all you did to make our photos and wedding day just beautiful! -

Could not ask for better wedding photographers!
Our wedding was at the Treasury on the Plaza on September 27, 2021. We chose Stout Studios after find their website. Both Kara and Jessica had amazing portfolios. We were lucky enough to have Jessica as our primary photographer and Kara as the secondary. They took the most beautiful photos of us and our wedding party. Their directions were efficient and concise and we had a blast taking photos with them. We could not ask for better photographers for our wedding. We've already recommended them to all of our friends and we can't wait to see all the other amazing photos they create with future couples. -

Stout studios did an unbelievable job capturing the most important moments of our special day! Jessica made sure to get everything we asked for and more. Everyone was extremely professional and they kept the flow of everything so that we were always on schedule but always had time for special moments! Jessica was also very accommodating towards what we could and couldn’t handle and what was most important to us. Special moments were captured and really just amazing shots show off how perfect everything went! If you don’t want to miss anything and you want some amazing dramatic or romantic shots, I cant emphasize enough how amazing Stout Studios is! Highly recommend!!! Our wedding album is so perfectly designed we couldn’t have chosen a better layout our selves! Plus the engagement shots were SO CUTE TOO!! (Definitely going to come back for some special family photos in the future!) -

Christina B. Sent on 07/05/2021You will not be disappointed!
We are beyond happy that Stout photographed our wedding! Kara is so talented and a pleasure to work with. She was patient with us as we drafted up a timeline and was always very responsive when we had questions. I loved how throughout the wedding day she kept asking us if we were okay or needed anything to help us feel relaxed and comfortable. She even sent us a preview of a few pictures only 3 days after the wedding which came out AMAZING! Book them for your wedding, you will not be disappointed! -

Valerie W. Sent on 01/30/2021Book kara now!
I don't even know where to start with this review. Kara is absolutely amazing! When inquiring an estimate she attached a short questionnaire to get to know me and my now husband. She also wanted to schedule a video call (versus phone call) to get to know each other to begin to capture our personality. I thought it was very personable and knew she would be our photographer. That was just the start of our amazing experience. She is extremely quick to respond to emails and very professional. She helped create an outline for the timeline of the wedding. I love how she sent a questionnaire before the wedding about what you want and don't want photographed. On top of all this, she has an AMAZING personality! All I can say if she is available for your wedding date, BOOK HER! You won't regret it :) -

Fabulous team!
I love looking at our wedding pictures over and over! Kara did a great job. We live in Atlanta, but got married in St. Augustine (a place we had only been to once or twice before the wedding). Kara found great spots for our pictures, and even made sure we could sneak out after our first dance to get the prime sunset lighting! Kara and her team put me at ease the whole time, and made our photo shoots so much fun! They also captured our reception fabulously - it looks like the most fun party. I do wish my sunburn lines (ugh) would have been photoshopped out of some of our couple photos, but it's something we can (hopefully) fix, and only on a small handful. Definitely recommend their team for gorgeous shots, and a fun time! -

Hire them! A+ work
Holy Cow! You can’t ask for better photographers for your big day! My husband and I are local to Orlando so getting married in St. Augustine we didn’t have much info on wedding photographers in the Jacksonville area. Our venue recommended Stout Studios and by booking them we literally hit the jackpot! Jess and Kara shot our wedding. They remained with the utmost professionalism with every obstacle thrown at them (Including disgruntled store owners). They were able to find the perfect lighting to make a good photo extraordinary! Sun, clouds, or rain (and trust me we experienced them all) they made me look beautiful and captured incredible shots. I can’t wait for more milestones in life to use them again for photos!!!! -

Rebecca M. Sent on 08/11/2020Exceeded Expectations, Stunning Photos
We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Stout Photography (SP) during and leading up to our recent wedding. First of all, the engagement and wedding pictures are stunning. They have an eye for beauty and we didn't realize how beautiful our pictures would be until we got them back. We have received an overwhelming number of compliments on our photos from friends and family. SP took the time to determine what was important to us and exceeded expectations in capturing those moments and so much more. They were very professional and extremely responsive. We got married on June 6th, in the middle of the pandemic, and their flexibility and responsiveness were very much appreciated as we were dealing with various possible scenarios. They even proactively offered suggestions to make the most of the various scenarios we were working through. They were very easy and enjoyable to work with throughout the wedding day. They worked well with all of our other vendors and our entire family enjoyed working with them. We will absolutely be hiring them in the future whenever we are in need of professional photographers. -
