Beautiful wedding pictures

Our photographer Alison was amazing, she took the time with us to make our pictures special and was not at all worried about the clock itself, which made for a relaxing and truly fun experience. We received the most gorgeous photos in a timely manner, and she was communicative throughout the entire process. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Outstanding in every aspect!

Jay was absolutely phenomenal — truly everything we could have hoped for and more. From the start, he was professional, punctual, and an absolute pleasure to work with. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, and when we had a few special requests, he accommodated them all with genuine enthusiasm and care.
On the wedding day, he struck the perfect balance between being present and unobtrusive — we hardly noticed the cameras, yet he managed to capture every important moment and all the little details that made the day special.
When we received the finished videos, we were thrilled with the result. The 10-minute montage was beautifully edited, perfectly capturing the emotion and energy of the day, while the hour-long recording of the ceremony and speeches let us relive every meaningful moment. We will cherish these videos for many years to come, and we have Jay to thank for that! We looked at a ton of vendors and ultimately felt that Life and Love Studio was the best bang for your buck - an outstanding product at a reasonable price - and it even surpassed our expectations. It was everything we hoped for and more!
If you want a videographer who’s talented, professional, and truly invested in getting it right, Jay is the guy! We couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Beautiful Photos!

Thanks to Life and Love Studios, we can always relive every magical moment of our wedding day!

Our photos couldn’t have been more perfect! My husband and I absolutely love the quality, editing, and details our photographer, Alison, captured for both our engagement and wedding portraits.

The experience—from start to finish—was excellent. As a new bride, planning my wedding, I was unsure of what my vision was for photographs. As I’m sure many other brides-to-bes can relate, I wanted an album that would show our love at the ceremony, our joy at the reception, and the fun moments we shared with our family and friends.

Alison answered all my questions, was readily available, and went above and beyond to truly give us a more beautiful, artistic, and intentional array of images than I ever could’ve imagined!

Prior to our engagement photoshoot, we called and met. Alison was incredibly prompt and professional! She provided us with a questionnaire and checked in regularly, leading up to our date. The Life and Love Studios website was also incredibly secure and easy to navigate and pay invoices on.

Above all, I would recommend Alison to anyone getting married because of her clear dedication to being there and present.

Alison took our engagement photos in August; the location was downtown St. Augustine. My husband proposed to me after taking me to a popular restaurant there. Alison took the time to take photos of us near the building, with gorgeous, greenery details and flattering angles.

During our wedding, Alison was by my side, throughout. I appreciated her immensely, as she was easily the biggest stress reliever on my special day. For each moment I’ll remember most, there is a picture I can look back on, and smile just as much again.

Thank you so much again to Life and Love Studios! I’m beyond grateful we had Alison as our photographer. If you’re a bride planning and want a photographer who is incredibly talented and kind, contact Life and Love Studios!

Fun, Fabulous, and Professional

We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose husband-and-wife team Allison and Jay for our wedding photography and videography! From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, creative, and supportive. They took the time to understand our vision and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire day.

The photos are absolutely stunning, capturing every precious moment with such detail and emotion. The videos are beautifully edited, allowing us to relive our special day as if it were happening all over again. Their ability to work together seamlessly added a special touch to our experience.

Not only did they capture the big moments, but they also beautifully documented all the little details that made our day unique. We received so many compliments from our guests about how friendly and unobtrusive they were, and they truly made our wedding memories last a lifetime.

From the start, I expressed having an idea for a video of my husband and I enjoying our favorite places in St. Augustine. Not only did Life & Love Studio embrace my idea, they absolutely nailed the vision I had in my head. I am so grateful for this memory.

Our wedding album features some of the most beautiful memories of our lives with our friends and family. Many people commented on how fabulous the pictures and videos are.

If you're looking for a talented and passionate duo to document your special day, we highly recommend this incredible team! Thank you for giving us memories that we will cherish forever!

Alison and Jay are the best of the best!

Alison & Jay are so amazing at what they do! When we knew we were getting married in St. Augustine, we booked an engagement photoshoot with Alison to try her out before booking for our wedding. We were amazed with the quality of her photos! She made us look like models! She’s very good at directing you how to pose and has a good eye for details. Her photos are always very aesthetic, and she knows how to capture the moment perfectly. We hired her and her husband, Jay, for our wedding and it was so worth every penny! We already knew Alison was wonderful, now let me talk about Jay. His videos are excellent, he captured every intimate moment of our wedding and edited an extended 40 minute highlight and a 10 minute highlight for us and OMG I felt like I was reliving the whole day! He did such a great job and is very talented at what he does. Life & Love Studio is the best of the best in the St. Augustine area and I highly recommend them! I mean, if you don’t believe me, just look at the pics, they speak for themselves. Love y’all, thank you for being a part of our special day!

Our elopement in St. Augustine

What a wonderful couple! I could not recommend a better photographer and videographer. My husband and I eloped at Otttis Castle in St. Augustine. Alison helped me with my dress and even went above and beyond making sure everything was prepared for our first look. Her and her husband made sure all of the details were taken care of which made everything a breeze. Our ceremony was all of 5 minutes but we had such a great time taking all of the pictures I had asked for and more. We even got to spend a few extra minutes on the beach which was an absolute blast. I can’t think this team enough!

So flexible and made our wishes come true!

Alison and her husband were absolutely fantastic! From the beginning she made sure we'd get the photos we wanted and had some great suggestions of where to begin. She even helped out with extra things because she is a local of St. Augustine. Her advice and opinions were greatly appreciated along the way! She was so accommodating when we had to push back the engagement shoot multiple times and was so lovely to work with. I'm in love with the photos her and her husband took and can't wait to share them for years to come. She always made sure she captured our visions and went above and beyond to capture the perfect moment. If you're looking for a photographer that captures the natural beauty without heavy editing or altering, she's the one!

The best! Hands down!

Alison has been a part of every major event in my life the past 12 years. From senior photos, to engagement, to wedding, to maternity, and most recently family portraits. Without a doubt the most caring, creative, and talented photographer. She has a calming presence about her that makes you feel comfortable and even when the pose doesn't feel like it'll come out well, the finished product is incredible. She was there to help my wife and I when we were financially limited and always seems to have our best interest in mind. We recommend her to everyone that we can and are happy to see how far she has come since my senior photos back in 2009. Thank you Alison for always being a genuinely good person, the amazing quality of your work is an added bonus to the overall experience.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
