Jekyll Island, GA Wedding Photographer & Filmmaker
Live oaks, coastal verandas, and golden evenings — Jekyll Island weddings are made for film.
Live oaks, coastal verandas, and golden evenings — Jekyll Island weddings are made for film.
The Southeast gives Jekyll Island weddings that unmistakable warmth — Spanish moss, porch light, humidity that turns sunset into a glow. We time portraits for the golden window and keep gear (and boutonnieres) cool in between.
Elizabeth Scott is a national studio: senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included, and a calendar kept deliberately small so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we haven’t worked your exact venue yet, we scout it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about Jekyll Island surprises us on the morning of.
Selected frames from the Elizabeth Scott portfolio. Ask and we will send full galleries from weddings closest in size and setting to yours.
Ceremony time decides how your photographs look, and the answer is different in Jekyll Island than it is three states over. In June the sun sets here at 8:30 PM and golden hour opens around 7:55 PM; by October sunset has slid back to 6:54 PM — a swing of 1 hour 36 minutes across one wedding season. Start a Jekyll Island ceremony at roughly the times below and you will finish vows, family formals, and portraits with the good light still in front of you rather than behind you.

Times computed for Jekyll Island (New York) on the 15th of each month. An outdoor ceremony in open shade can run 20–30 minutes later than the figures above; a church or ballroom ceremony is unaffected.
These are the Jekyll Island venues couples ask us about most. We have not shot every one of them — nobody has — so when a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: light through the ceremony hour, where formals hold up, how long the walk from getting-ready to first look actually takes.
