Jay Grubb Photography & Videography

Jay did a great job capturing my wedding photography! I am extremely happy with the quality of the photos!

If you're looking for a photographer with expertise and confidence, Jay is your guy! Jay was the perfect mix of professional, flexible, and direct. He was able to easily coach myself, the wedding party, and guests through the shoots and has strong attention to detail with simple reminders to remove shoes out of the background or take your hair tie off your wrist. It was reassuring to have a photographer that can take direction in the midst of the chaos and stress to ensure you get the photos of your dreams on your big day! Jay's timeline guides and consultation are a huge value add as well. Thank you, Jay!

We worked with Jay to get a video of our wedding reception. I cannot speak for the video as we have not received it yet and our wedding was recent. However, I can speak for his professionalism. Jay was a pleasure to work with. He was easy to get in contact with throughout the planning process to discuss details and this resulted in a smooth wedding day in which the most important moments were captured. His video packages include all of the raw footage captured in 4K and you can also add an edited film of select length if you like. We purchased the 30-45 minute feature film and can't wait to see the outcome. I highly recommend Jay for any photography or videography needs.

My husband and I just got married on 4/20/2024 and Jay was an essential part of our day! We did our engagement session with him about 9 months prior and then booked the associate package for photography and a small videography package. The website is pretty straight forward and lays out expectations for timelines and the process. He worked mostly with our wedding coordinator but there was communication leading up to and the day of. Jay arrived on the wedding day and everything started to flow. I felt completely at ease as he worked. Once we got to the family photos, he was able to wrangle and deal with different (big) personalities and release everyone back to cocktail hour. The way he was able to step in and ensure everything was flowing well was simply amazing. As my husband and I were a little overwhelmed with everything and everyone, Jay brought us back and helped us through it all. Keith was the videographer and was also very easy and great to work with. He spend time in the groom's suit and went above and beyond, even helping tie some ties. All in all, booking with Jay was the best decision for us. From his professionalism and leadership at the actual wedding, to the clear expectation and communication, we felt reassured that we were in good hands; and we know that the pictures will be fantastic!!

I don’t know where to begin when it comes to describing how thankful my husband and I are to Jay and his team! It was easily the best money we ever spent on our wedding day, and it was worth every single penny. We entrusted him with video, photo, DJ, and photobooth services for our wedding! So we were a bit nervous given how big of a role he had, but gosh did he come through! Not only that but he went above and beyond any of our expectations! And I was a nervous bride!! My husband and I were super lost after the ceremony; there was way too much going on, it had rained all day up until before the ceremony so our timeline was completely off. And Jay led us into each next step. My husband and I joke around saying he was our northern star! I was so overwhelmed, and even though I had written a really detailed timeline, I could not even think about it or remember anything, so Jay came in clutch and guided us every step of the way! He is much more than just a photographer, he guided us to get good shots, stayed organized and kept us in track when we needed it most to make sure we got our value out of the wedding. He even got people moving on the dance floor and set up line dances, conga lines, and hyped guests up for moments like the sparkler exit. Not only did he helped us get portrait shots, he also organized us, family, wedding party to get candid shots on the dance floor, introductions, and other key moments! He coordinated really well with other vendors to make sure the day would go as seamlessly as possible and got us involved in decision making when needed! He was simply amazing! He took care of what we didn’t even know we needed and that is where his expertise in wedding shines through! Not to mention the dreamy, magazine cover worthy pictures we have already received! The DJ, Kaleum, was amazing too, he brought a lot of energy to every key moment in the wedding, and kept the dance floor lit! I remember walking in during our introduction and it was the most magical moment looking at everyone hyping us up, the lighting set up perfectly and the music spot on, while the DJ hyped everyone up! It felt like I was walking into the most lit party ever! Although some guests/wedding party may think he can come off a bit sharp, believe me, that is the quality every wedding needs from a good photographer. I certainly appreciated it so much because I have a hard time speaking up for myself. It is hard to control a large wedding party, ensuring the couple is getting great photos and making the most of time, and having him knowing what needs to be done, and putting his foot down is a MUST. He advocates for the couple and still manages to do so in a very polite manner. I could write pages about how much I would recommend him! He is simply well worth it and our best investment for our wedding! If you are looking for a solid, amazing photographer and videographer and a vendor that will make your day less stressful, and have dreamy, amazing shots, you have found it! We also highly recommend bundling his services, as it made everything so much easier and effective! Our wedding day was amazing and I certainly have Jay to thank for that!

Absolutely amazing! Very attentive & on top of detail. Never stopped taking photos it seemed like. We just got our photos back & they are so amazing! Highly recommend Jay Grubb Photography!!!!

Jay did a great job with our engagement pictures. He really made this experience so fun and natural.

Jay did a great job. He helped to create a fun experience for our small destination wedding in Destin.

Jay absolutely crushed our multi-faith wedding weekend! We had multiple events which didn't always go as planned but Jay was quick on his feet and got the job done. His Photo Booth at our reception was state of the art and a huge hit. We would highly recommend Jay and his crew!

Jay and his team went above and beyond for our two day wedding! He always guided us when we didn't know what to do during pictures and his initial 'teaser' pictures turned out to be INCREDIBLE. Jay's team are true professionals and artists!

Jay was absolutely the best . The way he made us comfortable and natural and trust me it takes a lot for me and my wife to be photogenic lol.

Jay did an amazing job photographing our wedding! We are so happy we chose him to capture our special day. The pictures are beautiful and artistic – not your typical cookie-cutter posed shots. Thank you, Jay!

Magic, what they captured and what they did, just magic above and beyond skill or talent. Jay Grubb put together and amazing team for my wedding and captured the most beautiful moments, both candid and dramatic that we can cherish forever. Other than making sure my husband showed up and our vows were exchanged, photos were the next most important thing for me when prioritizing vendors. I must have interviewed some 110 different photographers and videographers. I was looking for a professional team that needed little guidance from me, that I could trust to capture my shot list, all the candid shots of our friends and family, would be there the whole of the event, could manage my husband who doesn't like people in his face at all, herd the cats that were my wedding party (myself included), were kid friendly, and the editing skills for a dramatic effect in lighting and color. Jay came through with meeting all the above criteria. He had endless patience with me, my wedding party, and my husband. When I had specific requests for shots, he was upfront and candid about what would be required to make the shot, made professional suggestions for alternatives, and just in general was informative and lovely to work with. I also went all out after speaking with Jay - videography team and a photo booth as well! The videography team was led by Lee, who was an absolute joy to interact with and the smiles and laughter he generated in all of us were just a bonus. Our photo booth was fun, interactive, and Ariana manned the station all night to ensure everyone used it to best effect and got their fun printed out or emailed to their preference. The teaser photos came almost immediately and the remainder came shortly after. Jay remained in communication with me after the wedding, his website and client portal were a fountain of useful information both before and after the wedding, and all around the whole team was amazing and wonderful to work with. Looking back at the photos, I feel beautiful, I see the love and happiness in everyone's faces. I am so incredibly happy with Jay, Lee, Ariana - the work leading up to the event answering questions, making decisions, the laid back professionalism and fun they brought the day of that made us all relaxed and often full of laughter, it was amazing. And the photos I have now! I tear up looking at them, I didn't think it was possible but they captured the joy and love of the day in such a way you can feel it in the photos, evne the photobooth shots.

Our investment with Jay was well worth it! I booked Jay's company for both photography and videography. My wedding involved three different locations: a hotel for getting ready, a church-based wedding ceremony, and the Lake Mary Event Center for the reception. Jay was extremely flexible with us and navigated through each location seamlessly. He was able to find great photo locations in each venue. The getting ready portion of my wedding was very stressful, however, Jay and his team had a reassuring presence and took initiative in solving any problems that arose. They helped me enjoy my wedding day without all of the stress! I highly recommend them for any wedding or event.

Other than becoming husband and wife, photos were our number one priority for wedding planning. I cannot say enough good things about how lucky we were to book with Jay. In our 10 years of dating we have never done professional photos and we were quite anxious, then even more so that this would show in our photos. Jay is a professional through and through and you can tell quite gifted at getting people to open up. His experience in the industry made our experience nothing but simple. Both of our families could not stop commenting on how easy our photographer made the group photos, family photos and couple photos. This is no easy task during St. Augustine's busiest time of year 12/28 in Nights of Lights. Jay has been nothing but easy to communicate with, and responsive to our thousands of questions in the year leading up to the wedding night. As we look over our photo previews we have nothing but beaming smiles and joy in the night. We are so thankful to have had Jay as our photographer and recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Jay had excellent communication with us up until the wedding day. It was very smooth to work with him and he makes it easier to plan your wedding. He has thought of every detail needed and it’s a delight to work with him. He and Keith were present 30 minutes before the said time. Their work shows professionalism yet they make you feel so relaxed and guide you through every step. You can see he has experience and he knows what he is doing. The sample pictures Jay sent are breath taking and we can’t wait to get the rest of the pictures and the video. You will not be disappointed.

Absolutely loved working with Jay! He was amazing! I definitely wouldn’t recommend anyone else! 🤍🤍🤍✨

My husband and I just got married on 12/3 and couldn’t wait to write Jay a review. He was absolutely wonderful. We had the pleasure of meeting him a few months earlier for our engagement photoshoot which was so much fun and really took the edge off and made us feel comfortable for the big day. It felt like we were just hanging out with an old friend and the photos we received back were stunning!!! Our wedding day was no different and Jay was really good at corralling our massive family and getting them where they need to be for photo work. His selfie station photo booth was awesome, it was a HUGE hit and we love that we had access to all of the photos from the selfie station that night. Jay even started a dance off between the men and the ladies on the dance floor and that was AWESOME! 10/10 recommend and we cannot wait to see the rest of our pictures.

We hired Jay for our wedding and from the beginning he was absolutely fantastic. He was always great about texting me back in a timely manner and answering all of my questions. I was quite nervous about hiring someone I had never met that lived hours away from us but I’m really happy we went with him. They showed up before they were supposed to be there to make sure they were set up and also Jay had lots of tips for a bride who had obviously never been married before. He also made sure we got all the pictures we had wanted but also surprised us with some pictures we had no clue he took. I didn’t come from a very lovey dovey family so being so close and personal with my parents was a little awkward but Jay would always mention something to kind of get us closer and get better pictures. He definitely knew what he was doing and led his team pretty well. The 3 guys that came with him were awesome too! We are still waiting on the rest of our pictures so once we receive them we’ll leave another review but we received our video and teasers super quick! Thanks Jay!

Jay and his team were amazing to work with. We booked him for our 2022 wedding, and from the very beginning he was responsive and answered all of our questions. We booked our date well in advance and Jay was in contact the whole time. I enjoy his website, it is very client friendly and includes details for his packages, you can book your sessions/add ons, and he offers samples for those dreaded day-of timelines. He is very detail oriented and helped me feel very prepared prior to my wedding. He sent follow up emails with reminders when something was approaching a deadline- it was a procrastinators dream! On the day of, Jay and his team were very professional. I trusted him to curate our photos and video with his artistic eye and everything turned out beautifully! He has a very easy going personality that made me and my nervous bridesmaids lighten up and enjoy the session. Jay was great with pose suggestions and was able to get our family/wedding party photos done quickly but efficiently. He captured some really fun/candid shots but managed to get all of the serious/posed moments as well. We received our teasers just a few days later, and we were so pleased. I can’t wait to see the rest! We chose a package that included videography and a selfie station and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! My guests had a blast at the selfie station- and everything is sent digitally so we get to see everyone’s pictures after. Jay’s lead videographer, Conner, was amazing to work with as well. He was constantly on the move making sure he was capturing everything. He was kind and polite and worked seamlessly with Jay. Jay’s professionalism and personality made him a joy to work with and I am so excited to see the rest of my photos and videos! I highly recommend!

Can’t praise Jay and his team enough! My wedding day was so perfect and the way he was able to capture the best moments of my day so I will have them forever is so amazing. I can’t thank him enough! He has done many of my family members weddings and is extremely professional and truly goes above and beyond to get exactly what you want. My husband and I have received our teaser pictures back and love them so much! Can’t forget about Connor his lead videographer who also did an amazing job and was very kind! You can truly tell how skilled and experienced Jay is behind the camera the moment you meet him which is what you want when booking a photographer for your wedding day or any big moments!

My husband and I renewed our vows at the Lightner Museum in St Augustine. Jay photographed our ceremony. Jay is so warm and welcoming that it made the process so easy. We are very camera shy, but he was so patient with us. He has awesome ideas of how to best capture the day. He did a wonderful job working with our family to get the best shots. I can’t wait to see our photos!!! I highly recommend him for any of your photography needs.

Jay and his team were absolutely amazing to work with! They made the process for me and my husband so easy. His prices are great for what he offers. The day of my wedding I felt so taken care of and I felt like a huge priority to him and his team. They each took the time out to come and personally meet me and my husband and make sure that all of our wants and needs were met no matter what. My timeline was a little crunched due to the time change but he MADE IT WORK!! I was so thankful. I would 10/10 recommend and use Jay Grubb Photography again. - Lauren Rupert

Jay is awesome! Very professional and very patient. We had a small vow renewal ceremony that Jay shot for us. Some of our immediate family can be, let’s just say,…..difficult and challenging. With a smile on his face and the patience of a saint, Jay brilliantly corralled the necessary persons and captured them in their best look. Lots and lots of beautiful shots of the ceremony itself that help tell our story.

Jay is simply amazing!!! He did our wedding pictures and engagement photo shoot as well. He puts you right at ease and makes everything fun. We met/talked with him a couple times and he captured exactly what we were looking for! He knows all the good spots for pictures. We also had a live streaming for our ceremony which was awesome and really appreciated by everyone who logged on during our special day! The videographer was so discret we almost didn't even see him there. Jay was also amazing with candid shots so much so that there are so many pictures we had no idea he was even taking, but we really love them! I would hire Jay again anytime and really highly recommend him and his team. He gave us memories that will last a lifetime! we can't thank him enough and are sincerely so pleased to have been able to have him with us for our special day.

We did the photography and videography package for our wedding. I will start off by saying the pictures and video we got were amazing. I LOVED THEM!! He captured very creative pictures that turned out great. The editing on the pictures were also amazing and just what I wanted. He gave me 4 different videos for the videography part, and I LOVED all of them. He met my request of having my husband say his vows in the video which I appreciated a lot! The day of the wedding went very good and smooth getting all the shots. He did a good job with gathering everyone for pictures and focusing on what the most important part was, our forever wedding pictures. However, there were a few issues. I reached out months before my wedding telling him we wanted two photographers. He gave me a quote for the second photographer and said to schedule a phone consultation closer to the wedding time to discuss timeline details and what not. Two weeks before my wedding he completely forgot I wanted two photographers and “wasn’t aware” I did until I sent him screenshots of our messages. He found a second photographer within a week of my wedding (thankfully). It was very stressful because we had a big wedding party and he told us we needed two photographers to get all the pictures. After the wedding, it was a veryyyyyy long wait to see any pictures. I reached out a month after the wedding and asked if he would send me certain pictures that had my grandpa in it. It only took 4 days after I requested that I had received 14 teaser pictures. In the beginning he told me around 8 weeks after my wedding until I would receive the pictures, but it ended up being 12 weeks for the pictures and another 8 weeks after that for the wedding video. I understand it takes a long time (we did have 1,000 pictures) and COVID messed up many weddings causing him to be busier, but after waiting so long I also felt like it wasn’t my fault he took on more than he could handle and just seemed unorganized. Great end product but it was a struggle to get there.

Jay and his team were absolutely great to work with for every step of the wedding planning process and we were very thankful to have selected him to photograph our wedding. From the very beginning, he was easy to communicate with via email, text, and phone, and he made sure that we had all the options and schedule that we wanted and needed for our wedding day. Even though we had multiple locations throughout the day (getting ready, off-site photos, church ceremony, and reception) he was sure to have everything well-coordinated and ready to get some great photos. He and his team were professional and super-efficient at getting great shots throughout the day and even for specific requests to recreate some poses that the bride’s parents had from their wedding day. He also grabbed some amazing candid shots for our reception and of the live dolphin show (with dolphins jumping in the air behind us)! He was very well-organized and well-coordinated through the entire (hectic) day and was constantly a calming and helpful presence when nerves and anxiety were high. We certainly asked a lot from him and his team and they absolutely delivered! The photos were fantastic and were delivered well ahead of schedule; we honestly couldn’t have asked more from Jay and his team.

Jay is such a pro! In just one short hour he gave us 150 beautiful engagement photos in multiple styles, and still had time to get to know us and discuss plans for the wedding. His online contract/payment system is seamless, he's always quick to respond, and the turnaround time was extremely fast. We can't wait to work with him again on the big day!

We first contacted Jay after we had to postpone our original Savannah wedding plans and opted for a smaller more intimate ceremony with just our family in our hometown of Gainesville. From the initial phone call with Jay, we knew he was the right person to photograph our wedding. Being a gay couple, we always wanted to make sure our wedding vendors were comfortable working with us and Jay made sure to let us know he supported us and was happy to shoot our wedding regardless of our sexual orientation. It was also only 2 months out and we only needed photography services for an hour and a half on a Saturday and he was more than accommodating and willing to help us out. Knowing that we were not going to have all of our friends and family there, we talked to Jay about livestream options and once again he pulled through. He livestreamed our ceremony and took the most amazing pictures and we could not be more grateful. All of our friends were able to see the ceremony and were so happy to be part of the day. What is even better is he was able to turn around our photos in just over a week. Thank you, Jay for the hard work, flexibility, and willingness to be a part of our special day!

JAY IS AMAZING! He is so talented and knows exactly what he is doing! He photographed our wedding in January 2020 and we are blown away by our photos! He got all the photos we requested/wanted and went above and beyond! He is so talented in lighting/color editing! I couldn’t recommend him more! So so so amazing!

I picked Jay Grubb Photography as my photographer because I knew the most important part of my wedding would be the photos. We were getting married in St. Augustine and I knew we needed to take advantage of the gorgeous scenery with a photographer that knows the area and makes beautiful work. Jay was everything we dreamed of and more. He made our wedding perfect. Jay is professional and knowledgeable; he gave great direction for the best photos and awesome suggestions for our event. From the sneak peeks, I am so excited for our photos!

Jay is awesome, simple as that. From his photography skills to his personality, he was a fan favorite at our wedding! We were lucky enough to have Jay take photos at our welcome party and our wedding the following day in St. Augustine (also videography) which was a great experience because guests felt like they knew him already at the wedding - which was almost a month ago and we still get compliments on him! He was very easy to work with, great with communication, and comes up with awesome ideas for pictures. My father-in-law recently took up photography as a hobby, and Jay was kind enough to not only answer his questions during our events but followed up via email - very kind and impressive. We've gotten a few teasers back and are SO happy with the results, can't wait to see more! He's such a fun time, very artistic and flexible. Highly recommend!!!

Jay is so wonderful! My husband and I are beyond thrilled to have had him as our videographer. He captured such special moments and we are forever grateful for such a beautiful memory to look back on! He is a pleasure to speak and work with and does great work. Highly recommend!!

Jay Grubb, photographer and owner, man, can’t say enough about him. He helped us with everything from hiring an officiant, location of our ceremony, even walked us through creating our timeline of events. We had decided not to hire a planner as we were suppose to have a small gathering, but it turned out quite opposite. He was a life saver. Jay has a plethora of knowledge about the wedding industry, not to mention he is an A++ photographer. He was nowhere to be seen but when we got our pictures, he was everywhere and caught every moment of the events. You won’t be disappointed with his services!

Jay Grubb Wedding Photography did my daughter's wedding last month at the River House in St. Augustine and did an AMAZING job. Jay is not a photographer; he is an artist. I chose Jay because the photos on his website were breathtaking. He did not disappoint when he did our photos. When I saw the proofs this week (which was ONLY four weeks later with retouches, etc.), I couldn't believe how stunning they turned out. The beautiful lighting, the perfect angles, the dramatic effects were all there. There are several pictures worthy of being in an art gallery. I won't go on and on, but do yourself a favor and use Jay if you care about getting the best possible photos of your event. It should also be noted that our wedding was a tough assignment due to having a total of 16 attendants in the wedding party, 25 relatives for a group photo and over 150 guests that took full advantage of the open bar. Jay managed to keep things running smoothly and we were able to stay on time with the prepared timeline throughout the day. And on top of everything else, he was always pleasant and professional. The wedding lasts a day, but our memories will last forever thanks to these wonderful photos. Thanks, Jay!

Jay did an amazing job with our daughter wedding in Savannah! We loved the photographs and video he put together! Everything exceeded our expectations! Thanks Jay and team!

When my husband and I started talking about a photographer for our wedding, we knew that this would be one of our “absolutely no settling” things about planning. After all, We will have the pictures forever; looking back at them, Telling friends and family about our amazing day and not to mention one day when we are old and maybe have kids, we can show them our perfect day just as it was through our eyes🥰 My Aunt actually suggested we give Jay a call. When I spoke to him he was very professional and he was available on our day 🤗 We kept in contact over phone, but mostly email (which this introvert LOVED). He asked about the venue and I was able to share pictures so he could become familiar with the landscape and different options. He also asked me to send him some examples of some of the picture/poses I really wanted included. On the day of my wedding Jay showed up early and got straight to work. He took the pictures of the “little things” early, before much was going on. He went back and forth between the brides room and the grooms room taking pictures of use getting ready the our closest friends, and he was never in the way! He went out of his way to make sure he got perfect “The Picture” every time, even hanging half way off the dock, we were worried he would fall in 😂 Taking all of the pictures we wanted pushed the timing behind a little, but he even stayed later than what we agreed to make sure he got the dances 💕I would highly recommend Jay as your photographer for all of your special days!!

Jay was super easy to work with and our pictures were beautiful! We chose him because our venue (the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens) recommended him. He was very familiar with the venue. He was willing to make the drive from Ponte Vedra (where the ladies got ready) to the zoo. He made use of a time crunch and got all the pictures we wanted. Our day was amazing and he made sure our memories will be as well! Thanks Jay!

Wedding pics were beautiful, and we enjoyed working with Jay and his business partner! The editing was awesome and he even did a set in matte! Thanks again!

We hired Jay to be our Photographer, Videographer & run our Photobooth and our wedding was at the St. Francis Barracks in St. Augustine, FL! I will say hiring Jay was the BEST decision we could’ve made. He was the easiest vendor to work with and he has such a high standard of professionalism. He has such a great team to work with as well! I’m very glad we decided to hire him and his team for all of the photography, videography & photobooth because they all worked so well together. He made the whole process so smooth and convenient (especially for those stressed out brides, like me). His packages were BY FAR the best pricing for the quality of work and what’s included in his packages. Also, his turn around time is unbelievable! We received our photobooth stripes only TWO DAYS after the wedding and the wedding picture proofs to choose from only ONE WEEK after the wedding! His online questionnaire was very user friendly and it brought up a lot of planning ideas that I hadn’t thought of. Also, due to his experience in the wedding industry he was excellent at outlining exactly what to expect leading up to your wedding and on your wedding (which made me feel a lot more confident and prepared). He has always been very responsive via email, text and phone calls. I’m so happy with Jay and even happier to find out he does family shoots as well! This won’t be the last time I work with him! Thank you for all of your help and hard work Jay! Can’t wait to work with you again!

We purchased a video and photography package. I would recommend going another route all together. Jay spent most of his time trying to tell us how much extra he was doing and to give him a great review than he did doing his job. This was our wedding which we paid him to cover. If the amount of time trying to tell us how much of a favor he was doing us was spent on the photography and video I am sure it would have been much better. Afterwards, we reached out to him twice with little success with questions regarding our product (His response time was slow throughout the whole process to be totally honest.) The only response we received was after threatening to leave a bad review. That response was to please be patient as this is a busy time for them...that was 3 weeks ago. Another important thing, and this is for the brides, we received our photos in a record 3 days, much to our surprise (every other photo shoot we've done has been around 3 weeks for editing) and not a single thing was edited. How anyone can be proud of sending a bride a bridal portrait with acne scars and wrinkles in it is beyond me. It literally made me feel sad and bad about myself to see those photos. Very upsetting. We are paying extra to have the photos actually edited.

If I had to only say one thing about Jay Photography, it would be to save yourself time and money and DO NOT hire him for your wedding. He is rude, disrespectful, does not listen, cannot take responsibility for his mistakes, and never responds to calls, texts, or emails after you hire him. I know this contradicts many reviews he has; however, I believe he has changed into this person that we had to deal with for our wedding. One of the biggest things that went wrong with Jay is that before we signed out contract we told Jay we wanted 2 photographers as well as a videographer, we made sure this was in the contract (This was and is). The day of the wedding comes, and he shows up with just him and the videographer, we ask him where the second photographer is, and he says “ohh he’s here somewhere you haven’t seen him yet?” Then later changes his story to “No you never asked for a second photographer and it’s not in the contract”. He gives you a form to fill out that states what group/family photos you want during your wedding day, so he knows who and how many groups he is shooting, we filled this out and gave it to him. Then when we get to the wedding day and time for photos, he says we didn’t tell him certain family member photos were going to be shot (we did because it was our aunts and uncles, so we made sure to include them on the form) and says we don’t have time and must move on. He missed many moments throughout the day that could have easily been captured by a second photographer. Even some shots he told us he got, or had the videographer record, were not actually ever captured. When we got the footage and photos, we checked them 3 times over and the pictures and videos in question were nowhere to be found. We asked him about where these certain photos or videos are via email very politely, and he comes back with us with the attitude of a child saying, “Oh no thank you for all that I did?” While ignoring our questions even after multiple emails asking him the same things. Unfortunately, what we thought would be the thing we could look forward to, the videographer and the raw footage along with the wedding video, was also bad. The wedding video was put together without any input from us due to no contact from Jays side. We thought hopefully we can use the raw footage to make a new one, after looking through it half of almost every video the camera is swaying up to the ceiling or down at the floor, it seems as though an amateur with no video skill whatsoever was holding the camera. A few weeks after we got our photos back my wife and I had to get her dress back on/make up/hair and rent another suit, go back to the venue and get another photographer to do a wedding shoot with us. We are also hiring a new video editor to make a new video. Thank god for that.

Jay was our wedding photographer and made the whole experience super easy and comfortable! We really had no clue what we wanted, but he was a true professional and captured some really great shots. He's efficient and engaging at the same time; he didn't rush us and made everyone feel at ease. He was responsive to questions, both before the wedding and after. Jay is a great person to work with!

Jay was absolutely wonderful to work with! He photographed our engagement session and wedding and we hired him to do the videography and photo booth as well! Our engagement session was scheduled for one night mid-summer in St. Augustine. There was a horrible storm that blew threw and was projected to last all night. Jay was so flexible and rescheduled us for the following morning before we had to leave to go back home to PA. He has a great personality and made us feel extremely comfortable, which made for some really great pictures! I knew right away that we needed to hire him for our wedding. He knows St. Augustine like the back of his hand so he helped us pick some really unique, truly “St. Augie” sites for first look and group shots. I can’t wait to see how they turned out! His photo booth was an awesome open air concept so other guests could see people having fun taking silly pics. He let us pic from a variety of back drops, all of which sounded really nice. We opted for the gold sequin to match our other decor. It was perfect! And we got so many funny photos of our guests. I cannot say enough good things about Jay and his team. Highly recommend if you love great, unique pictures and love to have fun!

We loved working with Jay and our photos turned out amazing. One of the things we liked about Jay is the transparency he provides right on his website about the packages he offers. So many photographers wouldn't share their costs until after we had a call. We also found his pricing to be fair especially for the quality of photos. We hadn't originally planned on buying every photo but once we saw them (48 hours after the wedding - impressive!), we knew we had to have all of them. He was really easy-going and laid back to work with as well. He didn't over instruct which we liked because it made us more relaxed. He also did a great job of sticking with the schedule and provided great feedback on what works and what doesn't (timeline, poses, areas to take photos, etc.). Overall, we loved our experience with Jay and the photos that we'll treasure for a lifetime.

We can't put in to words, the awesome experience we had with Jay Grubb Photography. He did our engagement photos spring of 2018 and chose a location that allowed us to capture both a beach & garden setting, which tied our personalities in perfectly, then did our wedding 3 months later. Such an eye, great direction and guidance amidst the chaos of such a long busy day. Easy to work with, timely communication, prompt return of our photos. Prices were competitive and included some discounts along the way. The experience was such a pleasure. Thanks for eveyrything Jay!!

Jay is simply the best photographer I have ever seen. We used Jay Grubb for the photography and videography for our wedding in St Augustine and he was nothing short of amazing. His direction throughout the entire day was excellent and the finished product exceeded all of our expectations. He was very easy to communicate with and is an absolute professional. The photo booth was a huge hit at our wedding and well worth it. I highly recommend using Jay Grubb for any of your photography or videography needs.

Jay was absolutely perfect! He captured exactly what we wanted and then some :) .. his attention to detail will blow you away, the style of photography is so unique we felt and we could not be happier with the results! I’d highly recommend him !

Jay was wonderful from start to finish. He was patient and kind and guided us through the photo session with ease, especially for a couple who are not big fans of taking pictures. There have been no complaints or cause for concern from us regarding his services. The pictures have looked great so far and he really has an eye for detail. We cannot thank him enough and would highly recommend. Thanks Jay!

From he day I was proposed to, I was on the look out for THE BEST Photographer. I knew this day would be grand and it needed to be captured for everyone to see! One of our best wedding decisions was choosing Jay Grubb as our photographer! What can I say other then perfection! I made sure I chose everything he offered! From the photography to the video and photo booth! I was not disappointed in the least bit ! I couldn't wait to see the photos because I knew how wonderful they would turn out to be and I once again I was right! He captured everything so beautifully, every little detail. His photography is a true art! Our friends and family are all saying how beautiful our pictures turned out. He focused so much of his time with so much energy, and attention on us bride and groom! Jay takes really amazing, artistic shots. He knew when to take us outside for some amazing shots that we are in love with now! I could of never asked for a better photographer and I am so thankful that my ONE special day was captured so beautiful by him! Thank you Jay Grubb and the entire team, you guys truly rock!!

Jay is amazing! He is so sweet, fun, and kind. He met with me before the ceremony and gave me tips for good pictures and did a great job making me feel comfortable. He was flexible and really worked with my family and I to get the shots and candids I wanted for the big day. I would recommend him to any bride looking for someone to catch each moment and each smile. Thank you so much for everything, Jay!

Mr. Jay was absolutely perfect and nothing short of it! He was at the perfect spot and caught the perfect angle every single time! A true professional! He had perfect suggestions and kept everything flowing perfectly! Absolutely NO regrets with choosing him! So happy with the turnout of the pictures! Still waiting on the video..but based off the pictures we know the video will be amazing! Showed up on time and went straight to work the entire time without fail!! You are making a HUGE mistake if you don’t go with Jay Grubb!!

We hired Jay for our destination wedding and we absolutely adored the photos he took for us! Not only were the photos perfect, but the whole experience too! He was very professional, punctual, and personable. He cares about the product he is producing and it shows in his work. I would recommend him to anyone!

Cannot express enough how amazing and wonderful it was to work with this team of highly professional, and friendly photographers and videographers. Jay, along with his lead photographer, Jeremy and other fantastic team members truly were the best to work with on a day that seemed to speed by in the blink of an eye. The post production is well worth the wait for what will be a magical story for you and your spouse to be able to remember with motion picture quality photos and videos that help you remember those little details that made the Wedding Day so special. Thank you Jay Grubb and team for making our wedding day smooth and fun, and helping us keep those special memories alive with such vivid and spectacular quality!

Jay was an absolute pleasure to work with and a great photographer! He really has an eye to catch candid moments, the love, fun, and all that goes into a wedding - and it comes out in his photography! He was highly professional yet fun to work with, and did a great job of getting both the traditional poised pictures but also getting a reaction out of the people being photographed to elicit genuine smiles and laughter that truly make the pictures. His use of angles and focus make for a variety of great pictures, too. The one piece of wedding planning advice everyone gave us leading up to our big day was how important your photographer is, and Jay was absolutely amazing in capturing our memories of our major life event :)
