St Augustine Wedding Photographer for Classic, Laid-Back Couples
But choosing the right photographer? That’s about more than just pretty pictures. It’s about trusting someone who’ll show up with heart, calm your nerves, guide you through, and capture it all with timeless beauty. That’s where I come in.
I'm Tracy Townsend, a Florida-based wedding photographer specializing in classic, true-to-color imagery that feels effortless and emotional, never stiff or overly staged. If you're searching for someone who feels more like a friend than a vendor, you're in the right place.
Planning a wedding in the heart of St. Augustine means choosing charm, romance, and rich history.
St. Augustine isn’t just beautiful—it’s soulful. From ivy-covered alleys to cobblestone streets and bayfront rooftops, this city holds so many layers of charm. As a Florida native and creative at heart, I’m drawn to the way light moves through Spanish architecture and the warmth of a city that’s hosted love stories for centuries.
But more than the backdrop, I love the couples I get to serve: down-to-earth, kind-hearted couples who are excited about the little moments. The real magic of a wedding isn’t just in the big sweeping portraits, it’s in your grandmother’s teary smile during the ceremony, the way your partner looks at you during the vows, the wild laughter during your reception speeches. I’m here for all of it.
Why I Photograph Weddings in St. Augustine
Every couple deserves to feel fully seen. My approach is calm, collaborative, and quietly attentive. I don’t direct every moment, I gently guide you into flattering light and natural poses, then let you settle into your connection while I capture everything from joyful laughter to tender stillness.
I aim to be a grounding presence, especially during hectic moments, so you can feel present and peaceful on your day. My editing style is true to life: classic, vibrant, and never overly filtered so your photos feel timeless, not trendy. Years from now, I want you to look back and feel like you're reliving your wedding, exactly as it was

The Experience: What It's Like to Work With Me
As Seen In
My Favorite Wedding Venues in St. Augustine
The White Room: Rooftop ceremonies, elegant ballrooms, and panoramic sunset views over the bay. Ideal for romantic portraits and seamless transitions between ceremony and reception.
Lightner Museum: Dreamy architecture, koi ponds, ivy-draped courtyards, and grand interiors with historic flair. Perfect for couples who love a European touch.
Casa Monica Resort: Lavish design, warm tones, and unbeatable location in the heart of historic St. Augustine. Ornate staircases and Spanish-style details make every photo feel regal.
The Treasury on the Plaza: For couples who want something grand yet modern. Picture marble floors, a vault-turned-bar, and downtown charm just outside.
Vilano Beach & Anastasia State Park: Looking for barefoot vows or breezy golden-hour portraits? These coastal spots give you soft dunes, driftwood textures, and a palette of pinks and golds at sunset.
I recommend booking at least 9–12 months in advance, especially for spring and fall weddings in St. Augustine. Some dates fill quickly!
How far in advance should we book?
Florida weather can shift quickly, but I’m always prepared. If it’s safe and photogenic, we go with it. If not, I’ll help adjust your timeline or reschedule as needed. Some of the best light comes after a little rain!
What if the weather is unpredictable?
Absolutely. I gently guide you through every part of your session so you never feel awkward. Most couples tell me it feels like hanging out with a friend—and that’s the goal.
