The absolute best

There truly aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful Chandler was on our wedding day. We wish we could give him 10 stars. From the moment he arrived, he instantly felt like part of our family — kind, calm, and so genuine. He captured every moment with such care and heart, all while blending seamlessly into the day. Chandler’s communication and professionalism were incredible, but what stood out most was how much he clearly loves what he does. We’re beyond grateful to have had him there with us — he didn’t just film our day, he had fun with us! My husband and I HIGHLY recommend Chandler.

The professionalism also spilled over into the management department, clearly displayed by all of our interactions with Lisa. She has excellent communication and was so responsive and kind in answering all questions. From beginning to end, we are elated that we chose Southern Palms Studio!

Amazing Experience!

We had the absolute best experience with Southern Palms Studio for our wedding photography and videography. From start to finish, everything felt organized, easy, and truly special.
On the day of the wedding, our photographer Kelsey and videographer Shaun were incredible. Kelsey made the entire photography experience feel so natural and relaxed. She gave great direction when we needed it but also captured so many genuine moments without making anything feel staged. Her calm, positive energy really helped the whole day flow smoothly, and she somehow managed to be everywhere at once capturing all the little moments that made the day so meaningful.
Shaun was just as amazing on the video side. He blended in so seamlessly but was always in the perfect spot to capture the big moments and the small emotional ones too. Watching them work together was impressive! They were clearly a great team and made everything feel effortless.
When we received our sneak peeks, we were blown away. The photos are absolutely stunning and truly captured the feeling of the day. Looking through them felt like reliving our wedding day all over again.
If you’re looking for a photography and video team that is professional, talented, and genuinely cares about capturing your day in a meaningful way, we cannot recommend Southern Palms Studio enough. We are so grateful we had them as part of our wedding day!

Highly Recommend!

We are so happy we booked Southern Palm Studios to capture the photos and videos of our wedding day! They were so wonderful to work with not just on the day of, but from the initial planning calls all the way to the final videos and photo albums. Our photographer was Jussara and our videographer was Nick and they were so great to work with. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of a camera, but Nick and Jussara made it so fun and easy. The turn around time on the video and photos was so much quicker than we expected and the end results were stunning. We could not believe how happy we were with the photos and videos we got back. They truly captured our wedding day perfectly and we couldn’t be happier! We highly recommend Southern Palm Studios to anyone looking for photography and or videography for their wedding!

Look no further, SPS is all you need!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Southern Palm Studios for my wedding photography and videography, and I can't recommend them enough! From the very beginning, they took the time to understand my vision and the specific moments I wanted captured.

On the day of the wedding, despite the rainy weather, they remained adaptable and creative, ensuring that we still got beautiful shots without feeling rushed or stressed. Their ability to work with the conditions really impressed me.

Communication was another standout aspect of their service. They were responsive and attentive, making the planning process so much smoother. I truly appreciated how quickly they got back to us with our content—everything was delivered in under a month, and the quality was exceptional.

Overall, Southern Palms Studio exceeded my expectations and played a significant role in making our special day unforgettable. If you’re looking for a dedicated team that delivers beautiful results, look no further!

Thumbs up!

Southern Palms did an amazing job capturing our intimate beach wedding and reception. Working in media and publishing, I did a lot of research before choosing a St. Augustine-based photography studio within our budget, and I'm so thankful we went with Southern Palms. Our pictures came out magazine quality and with a film-like look. Steve, our photographer, was very helpful in guiding us for our couple photos. The pricing was also very reasonable.

Simply amazing!

Zack made our wedding flawless. From our initial phone call to the day-of, then receiving our photos and videos (early!), we were thrilled. Every guest we have spoken with has praised Southern Palms' professionalism and efficiency, and all we do is brag. Not to mention, the photos and videos turned out better than we could have imagined.
