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 qua...
lity, 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 our 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!
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!
Alison and Jay are the nicest people you can find! Their communication, prices, and fluidity are above none. Alison was so much fun to work with!
Alison and Jay are not only amazing at their work, but are wonderful people! They made our whole wedding planning process stress-free and were comforting throughout all changes tha...
t occurred. We felt confident going to them for any questions and advice, wedding related or about Saint Augustine, and we truly trust their input. Our final product videos and pictures are perfect and we will cherish their services for our lifetime. Alison and Jay were extremely organized on our wedding day and made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera throughout the day. I highly recommend them for your photography and videography needs!
We were blown away with how Jay and Alison captured our wedding. They went above and beyond to make us feel at ease. Everything seemed to fly by and we hardly noticed them but af...
terwards when it came time for the photos and video, we were amazing with everything they captured. We HIGHLY recommend checking out their work and giving them a call.
Alison and Jay are an exceptional team! My husband and I used them for our engagement photos and our wedding photography and videography. The photos from our wedding day turned ou...
t stunning and captured the entire day from getting ready to exit perfectly. I wish I could copy and paste all of the unsolicited praise the photos received from our friends and family when they saw the photos. Alison did an incredible job really capturing the feelings within the photos and they represent exactly what was happening in those moments. During our wedding they were the perfect level of being involved to get the great shot but not being overbearing or feeling like you had cameras in your face all night, which was so important to us! We couldn't have wished for anything more and can't wait to work with Life and Love again!
We had an amazing day with Jay and Alison! It was such a blur so having these memories is so important. To start with, Alison was great getting us comfortable with our engagement...
photos. Needless to say we aren’t easy to work with LOL. Once we did those, the wedding day was a breeze. She and her husband made sure we felt at ease and they blended in and we hardly noticed them. The video and photos captured so many special moments and avoided being too posed. Fantastic! HIRE THIS COUPLE!
Alison was wonderful. She was very quick with responding to my E-mails and helping us set a date and place for our engagement pictures. She did our engagement pictures back in Janu...
ary and they were beautiful. She got our engagement photos back to us shortly after. She just did our wedding in October and we were eager to get our pictures back. And in no time we received our photos. We are overwhelmed with how perfect the pictures are! Not only does she take wonderful photos, she is friendly, punctual, and polite. We are so glad we chose her for our wedding.
Alison was such a sweet and supportive professional through the whole process! It was like having a photographer/therapist/planner in one! She helped me plan my timeline and patien...
tly rearrange it as family & vendors shifted. She was so thoughtful in helping us select great locations for the shots. During our ceremony she got so many beautiful shots and a variety of angles. She also worked gracefully with my whole family to take care of all the personalities present. She is a delight to work with!
You cannot go wrong with this husband and wife duo. Alison and her husband, Jay, captured our wedding day exactly how we had dreamed. They both arrived on time, were not only pro...
fessional and polite, but also warm and friendly. They made the ease of capturing raw emotion and un-staged candid moments seem effortless. Alison and Jay compliment each other and work as one unit, which I found to be so important in the chaos of the wedding day rush. Having a calm and in-charge photography/videography duo is exactly what every bride needs and it can be found with these two. My husband and I are 5 months out of our wedding and still find ourselves looking through all of the beautiful moments Alison and Jay captured, finding a new favorite memory each time we look through our photos. Allison and Jay have an unmatched work ethic, commitment to excellence, and unparalleled end product. My husband and I will forever be grateful to Alison and Jay for sharing their talent with us and capturing our wedding day.
My husband and I got married on December 17, 2017. When looking for photographers we wanted someone who would be able to capture light and beauty even in what would potentially be ...
a gloomy day (weather wise) - sometimes the weather in the Winter can be very cloudy and overall gloomy so we were preparing for the worst. When we saw Alison's photos we knew we had to meet with her. The colors in her photos are so vibrant and she captures light so beautifully! Having her as our photographer was the BEST decision we made! She is incredibly sweet and makes you feel comfortable while capturing your perfect day! It has been 4 months since my wedding and I feel like I still go through my pictures almost daily! They are so beautiful! We loved them so much that we decided to order large canvas prints for our home which turned out to be so perfect! If you are looking for someone to truly capture the love and happiness of your wedding day, Alison is definitely the one! Everyone who has looked at my pictures comments on how beautiful and full of joy they are. My wedding day was incredible, and fortunately for me, I have the opportunity to get as close to reliving that day as possible every time I go through my pictures. At the end of the day I feel like that is what an amazing photographer is all about. Capturing a moment so perfectly, that you can relive it for a lifetime.
Alison was the first decision we made in the wedding planning process and definitely one of the best! Photography was huge me for me and one of the most important aspects of captur...
ing our special day. From the moment I met Alison, I was at ease. She is so outgoing and wonderful to be around. She had my fiancé (now husband) and I cracking up during the entire engagement shoot. Our photos came back to us with real, in-the-moment photography that was simply beautiful. From that moment on, we knew we simply could not have anyone else for our wedding photography. Alison has an incredible talent and ability to create the most amazing photographs. If you aren't "a posey couple", no worries, Alison has you covered...she has so many ideas up her sleeve that create the most natural and beautiful photographs. Her ability to find light in her photography really impressed me and her professionalism is unparalled. Hands down the best photographer we could have hoped for!!
All you need to know is: BOOK THEM, NOW! My now-husband and I were planning an elopement in St. Augustine and were really at a loss of where to start. We live in KY so I knew I wo...
uld be taking a shot in the dark when selecting vendors. I contacted several photographers based on my research of wedding websites and reviews but when I first spoke to Alison, I knew she would be my choice. She was so easy to talk to and I immediately felt like she was my bestie from high school. Every step of the way, she helped me--even with things unrelated to her work. She gave me advice on other vendors, the
ins-and-outs of the city, was flexible when a scheduling conflict arose last minute, AND calmed my nerves when I was so nervous that everything would fall apart before the ceremony.
I would also add that we just recently received our proofs and there is no way that we could ever be more pleased. Every pose was perfect and her work was flawless.
Alison is by far not only the BEST photographer, but also the BEST human being. My first encounter with her came back in 2009 when I took my senior photos with her. She is loving, ...
kind, and passionate about what she does. She makes you feel comfortable and relaxed as if you are just out with friends. When it came time to propose to my girlfriend, it was a no brainer who I wanted to capture the special moment. Alison not only captured the moment perfectly, she also helped me plan every step of the proposal. I trusted her, and it was the best decision I ever made. A year later, I married the woman of my dreams, and once again, Alison was there to capture every special detail. Driving from St. Augustine to Orlando, at a venue she had never been to before, it was like she knew every nook and cranny and captured every aspect of our special day. I will continue to use her for every special moment of life. She has earned our love and trust.
I can't even begin to find enough words to describe how absolutely amazing and talented Alison and Jay are!
Alison was our friend's photographer for her wedding and I just loved h...
er and once my husband and I got engaged I knew I had to reach out to her. Photography and videography were big for me and was definitely something I knew I was going to have. We booked them right away for our wedding on December 18, 2016 and in December 2015 we took our engagement pictures with Alison around St. Augustine. Not only did we have a ton of fun but she was so great to be around and we just absolutely loved our engagement session. During the year leading up to our wedding day I always felt like I could ask Alison any question or as many as I needed to and she was always so great about getting back to me. The morning of our wedding came and Alison and Jay showed up to begin the photography and videography for our wedding. The day felt so relaxed and I didn't have to worry whether a certain moment was going to be captured or not. We absolutely trusted these two and they did not let us down one bit. We have received our proofs and I am IN LOVE with every single photo!! Looking at them takes us back to our wedding day and our photos are more cherished than they will ever know! We should receive our USB of all of our images any day now and I can't wait to have that forever.
We are also supposed to receive our video soon from Jay and I have no doubt in my mind that it will be just as breath-taking and perfect and I can't wait to re-watch the best day of our lives so far!!
I can't recommend Life and Live Studio enough!!!! I would give them 100 stars if I could. Thank you again Alison and Jay for so perfectly capturing the day we became husband and wife <3
We had an amazing experience with Life and Love Studio. All of their people were so fun to work with. We enjoyed not having cameras in our faces all day which was our biggest wor...
ry with hiring a videographer. I suggest that anyone considering to have a video for their wedding contact them
Let me begin by saying Jay shot our wedding a year ago today, we have not received a satisfactory video from him.
When we first met Jay to talk about making our wedding video for...
us he was great. He gave us good ideas and seemed like he would be perfect to do our video!
Unfortunately, beyond our first meeting he did not offer much. We received an email from Life & Love Studios a few weeks before our date to verify locations and times for our big day. We replied with all of our information…only to find out the night before our wedding that they did not have any of the correct information. We were literally trying to contact them while at our rehearsal dinner to make sure that they were on the same page.
The day of our wedding Jay and his crew were on time and helpful with getting some last minute arrangements made.
5 months after our wedding we were anxiously waiting to see our video. After contacting Jay several times about our completed video he finally sent us a highlight video, which we absolutely loved! After seeing this clip we were excited to see how wonderful our full video would be. On exactly the 6 month date (the date his contract promises to have the work completed by) we received our full video. Only when we saw our full video there were several parts that we were completely unsatisfied with. The sound quality was muffled, windy, and downright terrible. Testimonials done by our friends and family were completely excluded from the video altogether. Our best man’s speech was played but his mouth wasn’t timed correctly with the recording and so therefor he it was difficult to watch. Overall, it seemed like he must not have reviewed the video with the sound turned on.
We contacted Jay about the quality of our video and since then we have had nothing but trouble trying to communicate with him. He agreed almost 2 months ago to fix the areas we have issues with but we have not received it still. When we let him know that we were told by friends and family that they had done testimonials to us that were not included he said all other footage had been deleted by that time. Jay got to determine all of the important pieces of our video footage and then deleted everything else that he found not valuable before receiving any feedback from us. We actually told him how much we enjoyed our highlight video that he originally made; since then that is the only thing he has opted to re-do. Why? We’ll never know, of all the things we asked for, that was never one of them. We haven’t had any response from Jay since then.
So it’s 1 year from our wedding day and we are completely unable to get in touch with Jay and we do NOT have a fixed/completed video that he promised. He knows we are not satisfied, yet, he has done nothing about it. As a “professional” you’d think he has a little more pride in his work.
I simply suggest considering if this is a risk you’re willing to take when it comes to your special day and the videographer you choose. I did not think the quality of work or professionalism we received from Jay was worth the money spent not did I expect it after meeting him for the first time. If you’re looking for someone to show up, and make a video…just ask your uncle and save your money.
Our experience with Life and Love Studio was absolutely AMAZING!! They were so accommodating to us, especially being that we didn't even contact them until two weeks prior to our B...
IG DAY!! From day one, Jay and his entire team were amazing. They genuinely wanted to get to know Trip and I and our families and capture every moment from our perspectives. Everyone felt very comfortable with them being around, and that was very important to us. It was as though they were just one of the guys or one of the girlfriends hanging out while getting ready for the festivities. Jay and his team spent the entire day with Trip and I and caught every moment of our special day on camera. Trip and I will always remember every important detail of our big day with our family and friends because of them. Their work is amazing!
They were great to work with. They went above and beyond and even came early to shoot the first look! Very happy!
Amazing talent and great value. Alison and her husband, Jay were wonderful to work with. They had great ideas while I was planning the wedding and helpful tips that made my day ru...

Most of the time, I didn't even realize Jay was at the wedding, yet he seemed to get all the right shots! He picked up on all the right things and even had some great ideas on his...
