Rebecca Sent on 11/11/2025The 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! -

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! -

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! -

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. -

We used Southern Palms Studio for our engagement photos, wedding photography, and video. Steve and Zack were great! Our photos turned out amazing, and we received them super early, which is a bonus. They also did an outstanding job on our wedding highlight video. We could not recommend them enough. -

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. -

Amazing Team To Work With
Reflecting back on the wedding day and over the last year of planning, working with Southern Palms Studio was the best experience of the entire process! Steve, Ashley, and Lisa were all wonderful to work with. The communication with Lisa through email was great and she was very quick to respond. The payment process was super easy. The phone calls with Steve and Ashley were very helpful. I even made some last minute changes in which they responded quickly to help get everything worked out. The day of the wedding Steve and Ashley were a breath of fresh air as some things were not going as planned. They were the best at making my Husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera and were the best hype team during all the bridal party photos. They even helped clear our plates off our table before speeches. I could go on and on about how great they were! The photos and videos are absolutely perfect! I've lost count on how many times I have watched the video. Our friends and family have given the best compliments on how everything turned out. If you’re looking for wedding photographers/videographers, do not pass on Southern Palms Studio!! -

Karolewicz Wedding
My experience with Southern Palms Studio was spectacular. Included in my wedding package was a photographer, but I decided to go out of my comfort zone and hire a company to do both photography and videography. Thats when I found Southern Palms Studio. I am so happy I did because the photos and wedding video brought tears to my eyes. We had a lot of hiccups the day of, but the photo/video team (the kind husband and wife duo) were super accommodating and they worked so hard to capture every moment. I barely remember the big day, but the video and photos brought it all back and even helped me to see things I missed in the chaos. The turnover time is very short as well when receiving your photos & video. I highly recommend!!! -

Wedding Review - Fall 2023
Hailey and the Southern Palms Studio team were great to work with for our wedding photography! We also got engagement photos done with her, which was great in preparation for our big day. We enjoyed the engagement shoot and she made us feel very comfortable. The photos turned out fantastic. In preparation for the big day, SP sends our very helpful information and forms for you to complete to ensure you have all the photos you want planned. Day of, Hailey did a wonderful job getting the shots we were looking for and guiding us through each of them. So far our sneak peeks look INCREDIBLE and we can’t wait to see the rest. We would highly recommend Southern Palms Studio for any photography needs! -

Sean Sent on 02/21/2022Thankful we booked Southern Palms Photography!
Having your wedding day captured is incredibly important and hiring a professional to do it right is just as important.
Zack and Heather were such a pleasure to work with during our Wedding. He was quick and efficient when capturing our specific shot list, as well as the entire day. He was able to work around the weather and made sure to keep us laughing and engaged to capture our true emotions.
The turnaround time for our edited digital album was unbelievable, and we were not disappointed with the product.
I would also like to note that their customer service was incredible. Lisa answered every question we had along the way with such care and speed we felt so much comfort going into our Wedding.
If you are looking for a photographer, I would highly recommend Southern Palms Photography! -

Kayla Sent on 06/29/2021SO HAPPY- glad I picked them!
We are SO SOO happy with everything about Southern Palms! First, I inquired about Bow Tie photos, which was out of our budget, but we're so thankful Zach suggested using Southern Palms. We had to post pone our wedding a whole year and Zach was very flexible with that, which was a huge help! We had Austin as our videographer, I felt like we barely knew he was there but he took lots of footage & we got a beautiful highlight reel pretty quickly. We got our photos back about 5 weeks after the wedding and they are INCREDIBLE. Hayley made sure she got every single shot I wanted and I'm so thankful. There are over 900 pictures and I honestly cannot narrow them down to even half! Southern Palms was worth every penny, you should definitely book them! -

Awesome artistry
Zac and Tyler made choosing a photographer and videographer for our wedding so easy. Planning could be stressful, but they made it easy to trust in their artistry. We had many things that we wanted and little time to do it, however SP team made it happen. We could not have asked for a better job done. Words are not enough. Their team was very responsive and easy to work with. 5/5 Stars. -

Chelsea Sent on 10/27/2020Professional, experienced team!
Choosing a photographer and videographer for our wedding was one of the hardest, most important parts of the planning process for me. But when I met with Southern Palms at a bridal show, I knew I had to work with them! Their work is beautiful and was the exact style that I was looking for. Zack, Tyler, and Austin made it SO easy for us both planning and on the day of. They asked all the right questions to ensure that we were getting exactly what we wanted. And because they have a great amount of experience in the photography business, they knew just how to make everything run smoothly (even when I was late to my own wedding, but we won't talk about that!!). They captured every perfect moment of our big day and I couldn't be happier with how our photos and wedding video turned out. If you are looking for professional photographers and/or videographers for any event, I highly recommend Southern Palms. -

At the beginning of the day we discussed what type of ship I was trying to run. We decided I would let him be in charge and I wanted to stay on time. It was perfect. My husband even appreciated the efficiency of Group photos! -

If you've started the wedding planning process, you've already discovered that picking a wedding photographer is a difficult decision. Personally, I think the photographer is the most important wedding vendor. I felt all this pressure to pick the perfect person in a price range that I could afford. I had scheduled so many meetings with numerous different companies in Florida and Georgia. The first on my list was meeting Tyler and Zac with Southern Palm Studio. After my meeting with Tyler and Zac, I canceled all the other meetings. My mind was made up. They completely sold me and not because there are good salesmen, but because I could tell that they were honest, genuine, and cared about me and my husband. I instantly fell in love with Tyler's talent. His lighting and angles were so perfect. His photos weren't over edited or "fake". I could feel the love that these couples shared through a photograph. The couples were posed but everything looked so fluid and effortless. You can truly tell that he has a passion for wedding photography and cares about his clients. As soon as I put down the down payment, I felt confident. Tyler communicated with me throughout the planning process. He checked on me and asked how I was doing. I felt like he actually cared and he gave me good advice along the way. He even reached out to me on Veteran's Day to tell my husband thank you for his service. When our wedding day came, we felt like we had known Tyler for years. There was an instant connection and he blew us away. He could turn around and command a non-listening family member and then turn to us and calm every single nerve we had. It was truly amazing to watch him go from hard to gentle. My husband and I could tell that Tyler had us as his main focus, he just wanted our happiness. People don't talk about post-wedding depression but I believe it's a real thing. The day went by so fast and I was so sad. I kept wishing we could just go back. After Tyler got my photos back, I literally spent hours gawking and crying over them. I didn't realize that a photographer could make you relive a day. Now, every time I look at the photos, it takes me back. All the photos have emotion and love in them. He captured everything we wanted and more. I want every single photo, yes all 862 of them, on the walls of my home. Tyler was the best purchase I have ever made and honestly I would have paid him triple for the results we got. Tyler, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU. -

Is it possible to give 10 stars? They are all SO very professional, knowledgeable, easy-going, and talented. I loved every single second of working with this company on my engagement and wedding photography/videography.
Tyler is especially incredible! He's so funny and makes doing awkward wedding poses so much fun and look incredibly natural. He was so helpful with timelines, creative shots, and really making our special day look magical.
Zane worked wonders with our video. He managed to make us look like movie stars! Our highlight video is everything I could have wanted and more.
I receive nothing but compliments on how beautiful my photos and video are. We are so lucky to have such incredible memories from our wedding day that serve as breathtaking art.
Thank you, Southern Palms! -

Madison Sent on 07/11/2019The BEST in the business
AMAZING is an understatement. Hiring Tyler with Southern Palms Studio was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Every aspect of planning our day was a breeze. Tyler collaborated with us before the big day to ensure we had a game plan for what shots I wanted and even helped me plan a timeline for our day. His professionalism, friendly demeanor, and pure talent are just a few things that make him the perfect wedding photographer. Our photos were edited and available for us to view within a few short weeks after our wedding (with some teasers sent a few days after) and sent to us in an online gallery that was easy to share with friends and family. We constantly get compliments on what a great job he did. I highly recommend!!! -

Brittany Sent on 03/26/2019Talented and Professional Videographer!
We are SO happy we decided to book with Southern Palms Studio. We corresponded with a Zack during the booking and planning process, and he was extremely professional, friendly and always quick to respond. Tyler, our videographer, did an incredible job capturing every little moment from the day of our wedding. He directed us in what to do, which in the end turned out beautiful on film. The artistic way he shot the day was nothing short of a true professional. And the editing work the team did was incredible! We were completely blown away with the end result in our highlight video. Thank you Zack and Tyler!! -

Excellent Photographer!
Zack and his team were excellent! Hailey, our photographer, did an outstanding job working with us to capture each moment. They were flexible and worked with us on a timeline that made the most sense for our day. I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly I got back the entire gallery! The photos are beautiful and our photographer did a great job making sure that we have many options. I highly recommend Zack and his team if you are planning an upcoming wedding. We had the perfect day with the help of our photographer! -

Fast and Decent Quality
We really liked our main photographer, but were disappointed by our second shooter that we paid an additional cost for. Our second shooter commented to my husband that he wasn’t sure what the main photographer wanted from him while photographing the grooms suite, and frankly it shows. We have some gorgeous photos from our wedding day, and some photos that are poorly shot and composed (several are off center/tilted), you can tell who took which pictures instead of having a cohesive album/style. That said, Southern Palms did get us our photos within a week of our wedding which was amazing and the cost was quite reasonable. We just wish there had been more communication between the two photographers and at a minimum a matching style. See photos for a comparison between bride/groom detail shots -
