Jacksonville Wedding Photography

Finding the Right Jacksonville Wedding Photographer

Even if you don’t know much about the art of photography, browsing through the portfolios of local Jacksonville wedding photographers can reveal a lot. You’ll quickly learn what you love and what you don’t. Set aside any images you love to discuss with the professionals in person.

Meeting Jacksonville wedding photographers can help you narrow the field. With so much local talent, you’ll have a lot of great folks angling for the job. Chemistry is important: when meeting with them, ask yourself how comfortable you feel in their presence. Do they seem confident enough to wrangle your mischievous cousins for a family portrait? Will they be able to quickly change tasks if your wedding is running behind schedule? Questions like these can help inform your decision on who to hire.

Of course, budget should also play a role in your decision-making process. In Jacksonville, engaged couples can expect to pay between $2,000 and $3,000 on average for a quality wedding photographer or roughly ten percent of your wedding budget.  Keep your financials on track with our online budgeting tools.

Scenic Spots in the River City

The sky is the limit when searching for a picturesque spot for Jacksonville wedding photos. Have your photographer snap shots of you on the banks of the St. John’s River with the city skyline behind you, or in front of the Treaty Oak downtown, an ancient tree that’s as timeless as your love for one another.

Indoor Jacksonville wedding photo shoots can be just as lovely. Images taken in local barns give off a classically rustic vibe, while pictures taken in Jacksonville art galleries feel ultra chic.

Jacksonville Weather Report

Like most of the Sunshine State, Jacksonville experiences warm temperatures virtually year-round. Mild winters appeal to snow birds and engaged couples alike. Given the area’s average 221 days of sun per year, there’s truly never a bad time for weddings – or wedding photos – in Jacksonville.

Of course, rainy days occur even in the sunniest of paradises, so if fretting over the forecast isn’t what you want to worry about on your wedding day, consider an indoor photo shoot. Floridians know how to bring the outdoors in and embrace nature even on the cloudiest of days, so your photos are certain to be lovely regardless of the weather.
