Jay arrived on time to discuss ideas and what he was expecting to do for our photos. After talking for a bit he got right down to business. Our guests were complimenting him all night to my husband and I.. we had our family photos done among many other photos/memories that were captured. I couldnt have asked for better photos and person to capture the moments of our wedding. He is truly amazing! More...

Jay is amazing! It isnt just the photography, which is admittedly amazing. Jay is also an amazing communicator and insanely helpful the day of the wedding, especially if you yourself don't have a lot of experience with weddings. He is cheerful and pleasant and help walk you through various stages of the wedding and photos to be taken. And if you have the time for extra photos, let him take the wheel.

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! More...

Jay did an excellent job! Our family was all in town for the weekend to take family pictures on the beach. My parents also renewed their wedding vows for the 50th anniversary. The wind was crazy, but the day was beautiful. We laughed and cut up the whole time. He made the best of the situation and still captured wonderful pictures.

Jay took our engagement pictures this past month in beautiful St. Augustine. My fiancé and I couldn't have chosen a better photographer for this special occasion. Upon reading other reviews, I completely agree with them that he is an artist with a camera. What he envisions is reflected on the quality of work he produces. Our expectations were definitely exceeded and I would recommend him to anyone that wants a flexible, reasonable, professional, and true artist of their craft! More...

We had the pleasure of Jay taking our engagement pictures this past month after it was pushed back a couple weeks due to Hurricane Dorian's uncertain path (he was very flexible to reschedule our photo session). I had been searching for a while in the North Florida and South Georgia area for reasonable prices without losing the caliber of work and we found that with Jay Grubb Photography. I stumbled upon his work when looking at wedding venues in Southern Georgia and saw some of his wedding pictures on their website which made me search for him and found his work to be exactly what we needed and wanted. He was offering a special discount on his packages and to further save some money, we drove down to St. Augustine to meet with him there. It obviously turned out to be worth the drive as this was a gorgeous location to take our pictures! My groom-to-be and I don't exactly take pictures on a consistent basis and definitely not professional pictures, so we were feeling uneasy and camera-shy at first, at least I was, but Jay made sure to keep the conversation and jokes going to get me to open up and relax. Jay, thank you for being a part of this special time in our lives! Those beautiful photos are the result of your tasteful, detailed work, and commitment not only to your craft, but to your customers as well. If you want economical prices without losing the passion, professionalism, and quality, look no further than Jay Grubb Photography! More...

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 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! More...

We hired Jay to be our Photographer, Videographer & run our Photobooth and our wedding was at the St. Frances 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! More...

We had the privilege of having Jay Grubb capture the moments of our special day. We decided on a small beach wedding and being a DIY bride i was extremely stressed and short on time (late to my own wedding) Jay was on top of things capturing moments of my bridesmaids and I before the ceremony and came early to the wedding so that he captured the venue and decorations before the crowd arrived. I was upset that I ran out of time before the ceremony to take posed pictures with my bridesmaid only to find even more beautiful candid pictures once our photos were finished. Jay was also super helpful during the wedding reception, ( I did not have a coordinator) and set up the bouquet and garter toss for us! We cannot thank him enough. Our pictures are absolutely stunning! The candid photos of my husband and I after the ceremony brought me to tears and our friends and family talk about them all the time. I look forward to working with him again on future events! More...

I will do my best to put into words all the fun and special memories Jay created with us on our wedding day! Besides the actual getting married to my Husband part, taking pictures was the most enjoyable part of our day! As with most weddings, there was some drama between family, a late start, an outside wedding on the hottest recorded day for that month and because of a misunderstanding by a well meaning friend there was no planned live music for the reception. But through it all, Jay was one factor I didn’t have to worry about and in fact, enjoyed! He made it an experience, like an escape inside the moment! He didn’t give into what I saw as chaos around me. He brought his own atmosphere of fun and ease. He was creative and also let us be creative on the spot too! In doing so, he captured the most amazing wedding picture ever (in my humble but very confident opinion ) He was kind, very polite and comfortable to be around. It helped me forget all that was going wrong and just be in the moment, even on that hot day outside in a long white dress. I appreciate all he did for us and after 5 years of marriage, I still have a thrill and sense of pride looking at our wedding photos. Knowing not everything went right that day but our pictures sure did! Thank you, Jay Grubb! More...

Wow! Jay is amazing! Simply the BEST!!!! I am in awe of his professionalism, attention to detail, costumer service, talent, passion for what he does, and his kind heart. When we were married we didn’t have enough money for a videographer. And I promised myself that for our 10th Anniversary I would save up for a video of our magical adventure together as hubby and wife. I complied photos of our courtship, wedding, newlywed life, and growing family over 10 years - and then found Jay to piece it all together with my song list for a video. I am still in awe of how amazing his talent is! He was super patient with me getting all the photos complied and creating a song list. He offered different versions of the video just for aesthetic appeal of what I preferred, and called me when he had any questions to make sure it was extra perfect. The final product is unbelievable! I’m sooooo stoked to surprise my hubby with this romantic video of our life together. I can not recommend him enough! Above and beyond expectations! I only wish we could have used his services 10 years ago on our wedding day. Brides and Grooms, spend the money- you won’t regret it. Totally worth it on your wedding day to cherish the memories. Thank you Jay!!! More...

We had an evening wedding at sunset, and a reception with lots of shadows and club lights, so we knew we wanted to go with someone that is a master at capturing and editing light, and Jay is truly a mastermind! We have thousands of photos that allow is to relive the moments of our special day. Jay's personal editing was remarkable, and our photos look like they belong in a magazine; we could not be happier. Aside from the brilliant photography skills, Jay was so easy-going, patient, kind, and accommodating to our special needs and requests. While there was never a time when I felt overwhelmed by cameras in my face, the team was always at the side lines, snapping pictures and video every second of the night, and it shows in their pictures with candids and posed pictures with friends and family.

Jay is everything a photographer should be and more. Not only a master of his equipment, but also insync with his clients. Jay could sense when we were antsy and would check with us in between shots to see how we were doing. His politeness and efficiency during family formals was superb considering how challenging our family can be to get on the same page haha. Jay's style was everything we wanted it was very candid and non intrusive. Every now and then he would simply re-position us for better shots, but in a way that was still natural. You'll hear a lot of vendors during the planning process and wedding day say ,"It's your day." Jay had a ton of awesome ideas, but truly let us decide how we wanted to proceed. Emotional intelligence is priceless and having the awareness of others feelings/emotions during day like this makes it so much better. I can most definitely vouch for Jay in this regard. My wife and I couldn't have been happier with our choice. It's truly Jay's priceless intangibles as a person that contribute to his end products, and for that I'm grateful. More...
