, professional and reasonably priced!! Our photos are absolutely stunning because they took the time to get to know us and captured the real moments. Karen and Jerry photographed our engagement session and our wedding. I can be indecisive and Karen was so patient with me, providing guidance at just the right moments and never pressuring. She was calm, reassuring and so much fun to be around. They knew we were eagerly awaiting our photographs and got us a sneak peek and a sick turn around on the other photos. I will recommend them to anyone and everyone who wants their special day captured.
Karen and Jerry are phenomenal. They did our engagement photography, wedding photography, and wedding videography. I communicated with Karen and she was always very responsive, hel...
pful, and easy to work with. The engagement session wasn’t something we originally thought we wanted to do and there was absolutely no pressure to do it, but I am so glad we did it. Karen and Jerry made that experience so fun and captured beautiful shots.
Similar to the engagement photos, we didn’t originally decide to videography, but we were able to still add it and I am so glad we did. Karen and Jerry did an amazing job capturing our moments. The photos and video were stunning. Not even a little detail like a photo of my ring with flowers or shoes with my dress were missed. It is evident that they are passionate about what they do and there wouldn’t have been a better fit for us. Thank you so much for everything. Recommend 10 out of 10.
We eloped to St Augustine. Karen stayed in contact with me answering all my questions. She showed up at the venue exactly the time she promised. I was very nervous about the photos...

They truly went above and beyond to capture all of the special moments of our big day, and we could not be happier with the results.
Their communication leading up to the wedding was excellent, and they were always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. On the day of the wedding, they arrived early and were ready to start capturing memories right away. They were both so easy to work with and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera.
The final products we received were absolutely stunning. The photos and video truly captured the love and joy of the day, and we will cherish them for years to come. We would highly recommend Karen and Jerry Favorite to anyone in need of a photographer and videographer for their wedding or any other special event. Thank you, Karen and Jerry, for helping to make our wedding day so special!

Capturing every moment as it happened in its spontaneity and taking photos of things we hadn't even thought of, shows their experience and true professionalism. We would happily recommend the Favorites time and time again.

aptured the people, the activities and the emotions of the day perfectly! The pictures are amazing and we'll treasure them forever!!

We would highly recommend them!!
I loved working with our photographer! Jerry and Karen are great people to work with, and they are laidback and sweet. They did a great job working with us on figuring out what we ...
wanted in terms of photography, how long we wanted them there for, how many photographers we would need, and any special requests on pictures that had to be taken. They were reasonably priced and flexible. We worked with them on photography shot lists and a list of the bridal party, wedding party, special guests, special requests, and additional information before the wedding. They were easy to reach via phone and email. The day of the wedding, Karen and her daughter/assistant came at the scheduled time and started immediately on photography. I know they took unique shots and made things personable for us. During the ceremony, we didn't even notice they were there! They made sure to take family pictures, pictures with the bridal party, and even though it was a rainy day, they suggested unique ideas for pictures such as in the ivy covered stairwell at our venue, using an umbrella as a prop in several outdoor pictures, and using my faux mink fur in various outdoor pictures. They worked hard during the reception taking pictures of the guests, the food, and the dancing. Finally, for the final exit, they suggested that guests use their phone lights to light the exit for us and for some cool pictures! I loved their ideas and cannot wait to see the final products. I am going to be working with them on Christmas gifts for various people and really looking forward to that.
We had an amazing wedding and reception on 10-15-2021! We chose Favorite Studios to capture the memories. Karen and Jerry did an absolutely amazing job! They were right on time, pr...
ofessional, patient, friendly, and funny, and we could tell they love what they do. They are very experienced and were able to capture awesome pictures and video of everything from start to finish, and they didn't run out the door when time was up, they made sure we were happy. We love all the pictures both candid and posed shots. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing professional photography or videography. They are an awesome family team, easy to work with, and fun! #LetLuvBlum

and Jerry Favorite made sure the backgrounds were beautiful and the subjects were carefully arranged, but they took the pictures so quickly they captured such genuine expressions on all of our faces. We are so grateful to them for taking so many photos of so many aspects of this special day. It all went so fast we could hardly take it all in. Now, we are able to see some things we missed. I have been spending the past few weeks reliving every moment and the Bride’s grandparents, who were unable to be with us, now feel like they were there.

s were captured, not only in the video but with the pictures as well. I love that Favorite Studios doesn't use too much editing with their pictures, that may just be my personal preference but I think the pictures looked authentic and beautiful. They were such a pleasure to work with, how could you not hire a married couple for your wedding?! The energy they brought was very appreciated, the guests commented how professional and nice they both were. If I lived in St. Augustine I'd feel prompted to ask if they do baby showers as well, not that I'd need them right away though ;)
