LightHouse Photo Group By Gustavo Tessaro

Honestly, my husband and I are jealous of those who had a perfect 5 star experience with Gustavo. We truly wish we could say the same. While we received BEAUTIFUL photos & videos from our April wedding and love that it’s a family business, we were disappointed with the pre wedding and post wedding experience. We had 2 photographers, 2 videographers, and the photobooth. Drone, highlight vid & documentary, plus paid for additional time. The Pros: Lots of experience; gorgeous photos/videos; large team that’s a well-oiled machine on wedding day; many photo/video packages; photo booth; fast photo & vid delivery; great wedding day experience! The Cons: During the consulting phase ten months before the wedding, he wasn’t as warm and as welcoming or enthusiastic as other photographers (& vendors) we had met who asked us about our story and wanted to get to know us. He was polite but got straight to business. He was that way via email as well, when others were more personable. We almost didn’t select him after the meeting due to that. But we gave him the benefit of the doubt and allowed the pros to outweigh the cons. However, the energy mismatch continued and communication issues arose. After hiring, there were times he took many days to respond to emails or we had to reach out twice to get a response (and we tried not to reach out to him much). At times we felt he came across short with us in email and this led us to hesitate even emailing him—which wasn’t a great feeling. Our final zoom meeting was much of the same energy as our consulting one. Then the week before the wedding he expressed he didn’t do certain photo styles even though we got them from his Insta & that he couldn’t avoid certain styles even though we had discussed those in detail with him via email before hiring him. We were left confused, concerned, and frustrated a week before the wedding. Thankfully, that was quickly resolved. Ultimately, I know him and his team are busy with many weddings a year and that may play a part in his short, less engaging communication style. Maybe he’s better with others. Given the large amount we were paying, we expected to at least have a better communication relationship and to not feel like we were hassles. We were new to the wedding process, and asking questions, if the photographer doesn’t volunteer the info, is the way we learn. We felt like he forgot that at times. We were very amenable, upgrading to certain services based on his advice, and we even created a shot list for everyone so the day would go smoothly. We also tipped him and his team a small amount after the wedding and didn’t even receive a thank you. That said, on the wedding day, he showed up with a positive attitude & great energy & was down to get any shots we wanted. His experience showed & he made us feel very comfortable. We were very happy to see it (as the bride I was nervous that wouldn’t be the case). His brother Igor was fantastic as well & very fun! Both videographers (Fabio & Gustavo’s son) were polite and professional. And his wife Netty who ran the photo booth was lovely & enthusiastic! Overall, disappointed with the pre and post wedding experience? Yeah. It was the only semi-negative experience we had with any of our many vendors or throughout the entire wedding process. It sucks to say. We wish it’d been different. But the wedding day experience was great, our photos and videos came out beautiful (love them!), and we still wish him the best.

Photography is going to be one of the most important wedding planning decisions you will make. A photo can remind you of a memory, though when the moment is captured perfectly, you get to relive the memory and the way you felt. We are eternally grateful to Gustavo and his incredibly talented team for taking us back to the happiest day of our lives many times over. Their work is first class. They are extraordinarily well prepared. We had the pleasure of simply going on the ride of our lives together. They lead us from one perfectly setup shot to the next. They executed a perfect mixture of planned and spontaneous photography. Their professionalism and attention detail completely removed us from the logistics and enabled us to savor every moment of our wedding. Advice from a happy couple: Do the documentary! There is no better way to relive all of the small yet incredibly beautiful moments of your wedding. You definitely want to get a teaser and highlight video. They are great to share with friends. The documentary is something we will cherish the rest of our lives. Have at least 2 photographers and 2 videographers. We absolutely love being able to see both of our reactions in so many moments. I cannot imagine our video with just one videographer.

I could go on about how wonderful Gustavo and his team are. The day of my wedding my venue dropped the ball on so many promises, and it left me in an overwhelmed state before I walked down the aisle. Gustavo literally saved my day by making me feel like a princess during our photo session prior to the ceremony. He made me feel so comfortable. For the first time, this camera shy girl was super comfortable in front of the camera. I could not stop smiling. Gustavo had me and and my husband laughing the entire reception, and finally made us feel like we were able to relax the day of our wedding. Him and his team made taking photos so fun. My husband and I keep going back to that day and how Gustavo was the best part of it. Do not look any further for a wedding photographer. These are the photos you will have for a lifetime and he really does his best to utilize his time wisely, and get the bride and groom so many great shots. We just got our preview recently and already there are tons are photos that have the both of us so impressed. He really was the best part of our day, and we will never forget what he did to make us feel so happy and special. We love you Gustavo and team! BOOK HIM NOW! You will not regret it!

We're so thrilled with our wedding photographer and videographer team, Gustavo and team were absolutely amazing! From the getting ready photos to capturing the special moments of the ceremony and reception, they nailed every shot. Gustavo made everything a breeze from the day we signed the contract to the big event. Couldn't be happier with these pros capturing our big day – we absolutely loved our photos and video to remember our special day forever. Big thanks to Gustavo and the team for making it all so easy and fun!

Everyone needs to RUN and book Gustavo and his crew for their wedding! This team truly is one of kind, not only did they make my big day flow easier, but they also spoke to me with authenticity and emotion while comforting me throughout the day. They were great with communication since day 1 and shot exactly what I had wanted, and overall, everyone on the team were just great people. We were in complete awe at the preview pictures we received THE NIGHT OF the wedding, they were stunning! I got married at the Waterview in Monroe, CT and Gustavo and his crew were already familiar with the venue and knew exactly what shots to capture and how to make them look perfect. Although it had rained on my wedding day, that didn’t stop Gustavo from wanting to get the most BEAUTIFUL shots outside. We also decided to get a photo booth from them, the week of the wedding and Gustavo was able to accommodate that. It was a crowd favorite and the memories made are unforgettable. Not to mention, Netty, who ran the booth, did it with a smile on her face and interacted with the guests, and I am truly grateful for that. My husband and my family are forever grateful for this amazing team of talented photographers and videographers. I cannot recommend them enough!

Gustavo and his team are absolutely amazing! They made us feel so comfortable and had endless patience for us and our bridal party. I was worried about not having enough time for pictures before the ceremony, but Gustavo and his team knew exactly which shots to get, and they were quick and efficient! Our pictures and video are stunning and we love showing them to everyone. We couldn't be happier with our decision! Highly recommend!!

Words can't even describe how amazing Gustavo and Igor were as our wedding photographers . They were extremely friendly and professional and made the day so fun! We had a destination wedding in Florida and they went above and beyond to capture all the beautiful aspects of our venue (especially the sunset). The same night of the wedding we were already receiving sneak preview pictures (which were hundreds!). Every single wedding guest of ours commented on how beautiful the pictures were and how they look like they came from a magazine. Thank you so so much Gustavo and team for making our wedding day perfect. Jenna and Jason 10/22/23 at Powel Crosley Estate

Words cannot describe how truly grateful we are to have found this photography team for the most important day of our lives!! Igor and Luisa were the photographers for our wedding at Aria, and I could not have asked for a more amazing team to fully capture how magical our wedding day was. They knew this venue WAY more than my husband and I, so they knew the best places and best lighting that was needed to capture pictures that seriously look like they came out of a wedding magazine!! They were exceptionally nice and fun people too, which made both my husband and I feel very comfortable with posing naturally infront of the camera. Igor was great with directing us how to pose naturally and create beautiful pictures that we will look at for the rest of our lives!!! Our family and friends cannot stop talking about how stunning all of our photos were, and I owe it all to this amazing photography team! In less than 10 hours after the end of our wedding, we received nearly 200 previews!!!! We cannot wait to see the rest of the gorgeous masterpieces that they shot on our wedding day! 10/6/23 will forever be the best and most memorable day of our lives, and I am so glad we had Igor and Luisa there to capture the fairytale wedding for us! Book this group ASAP for your wedding, you will absolutely not regret your decision!!!

Gustavo and Julianna are the best! We used them for engagement and wedding! So far we only received the previews for the wedding (which was two days ago) and we are in love!!! We can’t wait for the rest of the photos. Julianna is so sweet and so easy to work with! We had the best time and can’t wait to see the rest. Beautiful work, such great photographers. - Stephanie & Austin 10/20/23

Juliana and Vinny made our day perfect. They captured every moment possible. Communication from start to finish was great. I didn't have to request anything special, they knew exactly what to capture and made it even more amazing than we could imagine. HIGHLY recommend!!

Juliana and Vinny were our photographers for our wedding on 9/15/2023. They were AMAZING! Juliana and Vinny helped us to feel comfortable and captured some of these most amazing photos of my fiancé and I. We had such a blast posing with them and they were so mindful of poses we liked and didn’t. I would highly recommend them! We will be working in the future again with other shoots. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so memorable!

Juliana and Luisa were our photo team. They did an OUTSTANDING job! They were so easy to work with and I felt so comfortable with them being our shadows for the day. Juliana provided us with over 200 photos the day after our wedding as a preview; and less than two months after our wedding date we received our full gallery! The photos are STUNNING. She captured our love perfectly and we couldn’t be happier with the photos! We look forward to looking at these forever. I can’t recommended this photo group more! Everyone on the team is so talented, you are in great hands!

When we started planning our wedding and came across Gustavo’s work, we knew this was the team that we wanted to work with. Juliana was our photographer for our engagement shoot and was assisted by Luiza for our wedding day on August 19th, and we couldn’t be happier with the pure talent and photos. We were shocked how quickly we received our engagement photos and even the sneak peak photos from our wedding, which we were sent the night of the wedding! Our photos are beyond stunning, and this team was truly incredible and so fun to work with. We could not recommend them more! If we could give more than 5 stars we would!

Gustavo and his team exceeded expectations in every way possible. He was extremely professional while still being personable and friendly. He is incredibly creative, as he provided us with a wide range of beautiful photos and video from classic shots and candids, to unique examples we hadn’t seen from anyone else. Guatavo only uses the best equipment available, and the quality of the photos speak for themselves. We would recommend him to anyone who is looking for the best when it comes to photo and video for their special day.

My husband and I wanted the absolute best and that’s what we got! We couldn’t have been happier. Their patience, kindness, and efforts really meant the world to us. The knowledge in the work that they do and the passion they all have for videography and photography shows. The humor the team gave us kept us laughing all day even in the desert heat! Every opportunity that they felt was important, they got on film. We want to cherish these moments forever and we wanted the best, and that’s what we got. Without a doubt, choose Gustavo and his team. They are only the best. With love, Gabriella and Kurt Holden

Juliana and Julius were there on the actual day at the Paramount Country Club. The pictures they took were INSANE!!! There were so many beautiful pictures I'm obsessed with. They made us feel so comfortable and guided us throughout the whole experience. They were on top of making sure they got all the photos we needed and that there was enough time for everything. Gustavo was so helpful in working with us with any changes or questions that we had and setting up the whole thing!! I would definitely recommend LightHouse Photo Group!!

Gustavo and his team were absolutely fantastic on our wedding day! We got married on June 3rd, 2023 and wanted both photo and video. They went above and beyond for us and we couldn't have been happier with the work we received from them. The pictures were absolutely stunning and we were beyond shocked at how fast we received proofs! (We were on the shuttle bus back to the hotel when I received about 100 photos and my husband and I were ecstatic!) We also received a short video as well as an hour long video of our entire wedding that we are so excited to watch and relive for years to come! Gustavo and his team are not only talented, but were so fun to work with on our wedding day! We highly recommend them!

Gustavo and his team are phenomenal! Don’t second guess, Book NOW! I seen Gustavo’s portfolio and recognized that his reputation with venues and on IG / social media was top notch. I had reached out to Gustavo and his team to inquire about services and although I loved his work, I wasn’t sold on whether or not to actually book. After numerous attempt to search out other vendors and confirming Gustavo was still available, we had the opportunity to meet him and Julianna at a showcase (and they were still available - fate/destiny!). They had the ability to connect with us and create authentic dialogue without being a pushing a salesperson /vendor. My partner and I discussed our interactions and encouraged me to go with my gut!! And Gustavo and Julianna did not disappoint! They were extremely easy to work with and accommodating to our needs. I really wanted our engagement photos to be elegant/formal photos, and wanted to use the Atrium at Hartford City Hall and Elizabeth Park to capture the look. In order to capture the flowers in Bloom we scheduled a photoshoot for later mid-June ( a couple of weeks before our July 2023 wedding). Gustavo ensured we’d be able to have out photos back within a week so that we can use them for wedding decor. Not only did they meet our expectations, they exceeded our expectations. First, for engagement photos. Julianna ensured we hit both locations in Hartford (1hr away) and took time to capture the beauty of the moment. There was no rush and she asked if there was any other shoots we needed or wanted before moving to the next location or leaving. Based off previous conversations we assumed that we wouldn’t get pictures for a week however, Julianna advised we’d get a preview within 2 days. Well you can imagine the surprise and excitement we had when less than 2 hrs after our shoot we had a preview of photos. The preview photos did not disappoint… they were “stunning”! We were blown away at how amazing we looked and the quick turn around time. We all know the dread of waiting for anything especially photos but Gustavo and Julianna came through with the instant gratification of having preview photos for us to see immediately. Second, for the wedding. Gustavo and his team accommodated extended wedding photography coverage to meet out needs. While we agreed he’d meet the bride and bridesmaids at the bridal suite and Julianna would meet the groom and groomsmen at the venue, Gustavo arrived slightly early to capture photos of the groom and groomsmen before they left for the venue. The intentional thinking ahead to create a holistic presentation of our day was beyond thoughtful and displayed his commitment to profession and his brand. At the wedding they captured all of must have pictures. They were professional and attentive to our needs, so much so that Julianna started taking pictures of the bride and family even though it was during the dinner. Their ability to be proactive and serve us in ways we didn’t think of or ask was considerably great service. Gustavo and the team collaborated with our DJ who had displayed out engagement photos on his booth monitors to add same day wedding picture. Can you imagine how blown away we was to sit down to have dinner and see the monitors displaying wedding pictures?!? It was the sweetest and most thoughtful /creative touch for the bridal party and guests - everyone usually sees the photographer taking pictures but don’t always get to see how wonderful they are. Well Gustavo and Julianna and the team nailed it! Lastly, even though the wedding day was long and hot, Gustavo and his team managed to get us a sneak peak of the wedding day photos that night /early morning. The service, professionalism, and quality is undoubtedly next level! Don’t trust anyone else… Book NOW!

The photo and video team: Igor, Luiza, Fabio, Brenda & the photobooth : Netty were an amazing team to work with ! Gustavo was very communicative throughout our entire planning process. We are so thankful for his whole team! They adapted to small spaces and during the heat of the sun. We are so grateful we hired them and got preview of our pictures in less than 24hrs!

I just got married yesterday. My new husband and I have not done a single review, organized decorations, or even opened cards. But I HAD to jump on here to give Gustavo and his team five stars immediately. I was lucky enough as the bride to have Gustavo with me basically all day. He calmed my nerves when it started to rain for the fourth time 😂. He took beautiful candid pictures and formal ones, making all of us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He easily controlled my group of rowdy friends, which is not any easy task. My husband says the same of his team with them. They were professional, kind, and kept my husband on time and ready to go. Not only is this team made of wonderful people but they are also extremely profressional and amazingly good at their jobs. Gustavo and his guys were literally climbing rock walls just to get beautiful shots of us at sunset. Any idea or crazy notion we had, there was never a no or hesitation, just a “let me check the lighting first.” I can honestly tell you our wedding day would not have been as magical, special, well run, or calming as it was without Gustavo and his team. They didn’t feel like people we hired, they felt like more friends we surrounded ourselves with. Let this review quell any doubts you have about hiring them. They are amazing, and worth every. single. penny. they charge and more. Thank you Gustavo for the preview pictures, the slideshow, and all of your wonderful professionalism. Chris and I are eternally grateful.

SO many great things to say about Gustavo and his team! My husband and I hired Gustavo for our wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. The photos came out absolutely STUNNING! We were in awe. We were shocked to receive an email link to view a preview of our photos within an hour - yes, AN HOUR!! - of our reception ending! It ended at midnight, we received the preview just before 1am. Absolutely exceptional! He, his sister, and sister-in-law were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were all so kind and extremely attentive throughout the entire night. We received our final photos about 3 weeks later. They’re all so amazing. If you’re torn between photographers - look no further. Highly recommend Gustavo and his team! 100/10!! Thank you guys so much!! We truly couldn’t be happier with our decision ❤️

Gustavo and his team are the best! I was worried there wouldn't be enough time for pics between the church and the reception but they figured it out and took care of everything. They know what they are doing and are good at it. When I was freaking out over time they made me feel comfortable and were reassuring. They made us all feel comfortable and laugh, especially Igor. The pictures came out amazing and there are so many. My husband and I are obsessed with our wedding video and we cried when we first saw it. The quality is so good and the video is like a movie. I wish we went with the 12 hour coverage!

I just have to say again, I have rewatched the video almost everyday, especially after sharing with friends and family, and it just makes me cry how beautifully your team captured every moment. All the special ones between me and Alex and the all the moments we did not see. The segment of Alex and the guys in the beginning is just so beautiful. I cry every time watching. I love being able to see it. The music choices and editing is perfect. I love it! The ending dance montage is so fun and hilarious, it captures exactly how the day was spent and the love and feelings that were had by everyone. We had some crazy dancers and couldn’t wait to see! 😆 Please let your editor know that we thank him so very much for putting this all together in such a beautiful way, we will be forever grateful. ❤️ Our hearts go out to him and his family. And as I said in my other email, your team for the day of was the best! They were so much fun and just knew how to capture every moment. Everyone enjoyed them being there! You all are so amazing at what you do and we are so forever grateful. Thank you so much!

Gustavo and his team were simply amazing. Our photographs came out beyond perfect and could not believe the preview we received the day after our wedding. Gustavo and and his team made what could be a very stressful moment fun and exciting. You could see the excitement in their eyes while shooting. Gustavo and his team were the first faces myself and bridal party saw when we walked into our venue- they were beyond professional and ready to go! We can not thank you enough for capturing the most special and important day of our lives! PS. Take the night photos with Gustavo!!! They come out UNREAL!

Gustavo's team is incredible. They were so fantastic to coordinate with. On the day of our wedding Juliana, Fabio, and Luiza took exceptional photos and videos that we will cherish forever. They were so nice to work with and really made us feel comfortable, as we are not used to being the center of attention or captured on camera so much! We also got our photos and videos right when expected and family and friends cannot stop mentioning how amazing the photos and videos came out. Thank you to Gustavo, Juliana, and the rest of the team!

One word…OBSESSED! So grateful for having Gustavo and his amazing team capture one of the best days of my life. They made it all so easy for me and my husband and we couldn’t have been happier! We were so surprised to get some sneak peek photos not even 24hrs after the wedding. Can’t wait to see the rest of our photos and video soon! I would book them again 10x over! -The Dzolota’s

Forever grateful to Gustavo, Juliana and the whole team for capturing our special day! I have no words to describe how much I love our wedding pictures and video! I see them every day and I never get tired of admiring such a beautiful joyful moment! They are the most talented and amazing team! They captured the love, the joy, the laughs and every single heartfelt moment of our very special day. We knew we wanted to work with Gustavo from our very first meeting. His work speaks for itself. TRULY BEAUTIFUL STUNNING SHOTS!! Leading up to our wedding day, during our meeting, we talked for hours about everything… it felt like we’re were friends. He is so easy to talk to and the peace of mind he brings is just what I needed it as a anxious over thinker lol I honestly feel like we are besties now! His sister Juliana is the best… funny, sweet and just very down to earth! She’s my girl! She captured our engagement photos and I was in love with every single photo! Seriously, AMAZING SHOTS! The entire team were a joy to be around… so fun and so easy going. They made me feel like a model! The video… WOW! The tears kept coming. All of our friends and family were equally impressed with their work and won’t stop complimenting us. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I couldn’t be happier with my now friends. The most talented and amazing team!

I wish you could feel what it’s like to work with Gustavo and his team. Honestly the most amazing human there is and his work just speaks for itself but I’ll tell you the pictures are amazing. I’ve never felt so comfortable with someone when my nerves were all over the place lol. He felt like family and just was my favorite vendor at our wedding. The compliments we are still receiving on the pictures are genuine and I have referred this company more than any company ever. If you want the most amazing pictures and experience all around Gustavo and his team are it. Trust me.

Few vendors feel like family after your big day but Gustavo and Juliana are exactly that. This will be a long review but we are so happy with them it all must be said. Our initial consultation was with Gustavo. He was patient and thorough during the meeting so we never felt pressured or rushed. We decided on full photography coverage, videography and photo booth after seeing their work. We later reached out to add an engagement shoot and when we officially met Juliana, we knew we made the right choice. My now husband, James, HATES pictures and posed pictures are one of his least favorite things. Our pictures from the engagement shoot were exceptional and we genuinely had fun. Juliana got many candid shots—she’s a magician, I swear—one of which became the cover photo for our website. Side note: Book the engagement shoot with them! It makes you feel like you’re seeing a good friend on our wedding day. Fast forward to our wedding day which was a perfect disaster—we will spare you the details. Our hopes for outdoor pictures and the original timeline seemed ruined since it started to rain as we were getting ready. Juliana came in and reassured me that we were still going to get beautiful pictures. Juliana modified our timeline and worked with our wedding coordinator closely and when we received our preview pictures the next day, I felt relieved. And yes, you get preview pictures within 24 hours with Lighthouse Photography. Vinny, our second photographer for the day, was just pleasant to be around. He had a genuine smile the entire time and seemed happy to be working our wedding. He did James’ getting ready pictures and James told me that he felt comfortable around him—again this is major. Juliana and Vinny made a great team and we breezed through our family and guest photos without feeling overwhelmed. We also want to thank Fabio for our pending wedding video which we know will be perfect. Gustavo never left us along the way. He was always finalizing details throughout our planning process. He even checked in on us on the wedding day which made us feel very cared for. He also did the drone footage for our video so we’re excited for that. Even though so many things went wrong on our day, our family and friends were oblivious because they had a great time taking pictures. Let me not forget about the mirror photo booth. Our guests are still raving about it. Netty is so energetic and fun; we want to be her when we grow up. Our other vendors also complimented us on how great our photography team was to work with. Spending 8 hours with anyone is a lot but at the end of the night, we were sad to part ways with Juliana, Vinny, Netty and Fabio. The quality of the pictures speak for themselves. Just look at their Instagram and website and you’ll be sold. A contract gets you a payment plan but vendors that go above and beyond that contract are hard to come by. If you want to support a family business that will make you feel and look your best on your big day, look no further. We will continue to use them for our other major events. Thank goodness they travel to New York!

Our experience with Gustavo and his team was excellent! Gustavo was patient and flexible with our many questions and our changes throughout planning our photography and videography. He even suggested a spot to do our first look and take the majority of our photos - which we did and those are our favorite photos! Igor and his team who took the photos and videos were great to work with as well. They put us at ease and made us comfortable throughout the day - which was important to us as two people who don’t love being in front of the camera. The photos and video are beautiful and we feel so lucky to have these memories documented forever.

One thing my husband and I agreed on was that that we wanted Gustavo as our photographer! Gustavo and his team are amazing at that they do, I’m soo happy he got to capture our special day our photos are BEAUTIFUL.!

Gustavo was amazing from start to finish! I met him first at a friends wedding that I was in. My friend Lesly couldn’t stop raving about him so I went for it! He understood my vision for a rustic fall wedding shoot. Having a wedding in Montauk, I respect him and his staff for traveling so far out and I am so grateful they did! He understood and respected pictures that were important to me and pictures that weren’t. He was great to work with. I got more than 100 photos back within a day or two. And they are STUNNING. I could not recommend Gustavo and his staff more. I will be recommending them to everyone I know who needs a photographer.

We wish we could give Gustavo and his team 100 stars! What an amazing group of professionals to work with! Everyone was extremely punctual, kind and knowledgeable with the photos/timing/ lighting/ poses. The photo preview left us speechless and teary-eyed throughout the day and during our honeymoon. Our package included photo, video and Mirror Photo Booth and we are so glad we decided to book all three with them. The guests had a blast at the Mirror Photo Booth with Netty! We received many compliments from our guests not only on the final product, but also their professionalism throughout the day. Hiring this group was the best decision we made while wedding planning and two of our friends have already hired them as well! We will continue to refer this team as they exceeded our expectations and were a pleasure to have around us during our special day! Gustavo's team felt like having old friends taking pictures of us throughout our wedding and that was so much fun to experience.

The BEST photographers/videographers out there! Not only do they take the most stunning pictures and videos (and give you a preview the next day!), they have the best personalities! Juliana made sure we got all the pictures we needed while also joking around with us and letting us be ourselves! My husband and I are NOT big on taking pictures, but there wasn’t even one moment throughout the day/night that either of us felt anything other than comfortable. I wish we could go back and do it again! Gustavo also helped us a lot throughout our process (meetings, emails, phone calls.. I’m just a little crazy!) despite not being our photographer the day of our wedding. Everyone in my bridal party said how they were the best part of the whole process and how comfortable they made everyone. I can't thank them enough! Truly such a great team!!

Gustavo and his team are hands down THE BEST. They were a dream to work with. Our wedding was only a few days ago and we already received a preview gallery! 10/10. Would definitely recommend using them for your event.

Best experience of our lives, Gustavo's team was sensational, punctuality and professionalism. I have no words to describe how happy I am with their work. I recommend it to all people.

From the beginning, Gustavo was a pleasure to work with. He is such a warm person and talented photographer. You could really tell how much he loves his job. We did an engagement shoot, wedding photos, and wedding video. Him and his team make you feel super comfortable and know how to capture the best photos. Everyone on the team is extremely hardworking and constant professionals. They take the time to make sure you are satisfied and they accommodate your needs (for example, I told Gustavo what was was “my good side” and he made it work for every photo 😋) The team provides such a calming presence, something I highly valued on my wedding day. Gustavo will turnaround your photos in record time! We received a preview just a day after our wedding.

Going with Gustavo and his team was the best decision we made for our wedding! Extremely professional, easy to work with, and takes high quality photos. They worked quickly and efficiently and we still had plenty of time at cocktail hour, even though we did not do a first look. He got our preview photos to us the next day that was almost 200 photos! From what I have heard from other people, this is unheard-of! Gustavo and team also got so many compliments from the guests throughout the night. They really impressed everyone. Look no further and book Gustavo!!

Gustavo and his team are wonderful - if you are looking for a wedding photographer hire him soon before they get booked. We had a hybrid South Asian ceremony so some of the wedding ceremony customs are different - but his team were so understanding, friendly, and made it fun. The photo booth was such a big hit and was run by the sweetest person. All the pictures were stunning - both day and outdoor night ones. If you want a photography team that is excellent and you can have a good time with hire them. Pooja and Deepak

I cannot recommend Gustavo and his team enough. He is truly the best photographer and his work is incredible. He was easy to work with from the beginning and always responded so quickly to any questions that I had. I probably looked at every single photographer and their work on the Knot and Gustavo stood out from everyone. His photos are bright and alive even in the dark. We hired him for our wedding because the Society Room is rather dark inside and he did not disappoint! He knows exactly what to do to make any dark venue or outside photos come out PERFECT and I’ve loved every single photo I’ve seen so far. And talk about quick - I was lucky enough to have our 16 year old chihuahua stay in the bridal suite and she walked over, sat on my dress, looked right at him and he caught the most meaningful picture I’ll ever have. He truly is a photographer that captures emotion in his work. I cannot thank Gustavo and his team enough - they truly are the best. I would never use another photographer!

This was the best investment that I spent money on for my wedding. I cannot say enough good things about Gustavo and his team of photographers/videographers. He was kind, fun, easy to work with, directive with my friends/family, and so fast! He took the most gorgeous photos as quickly as possible throughout the evening, so that we could enjoy our wedding festivities. They knew exactly what poses worked best to make us look flattering and I couldn't believe how absolutely beautiful everything came out. These guys are the best, seriously, book them! They exceeded my expectations and I am so thankful for Gustavo. Thank you so much team!

Best photographer out there hands down. He was creative and meticulous in everything he did - he made us feel so comfortable during it all. We had a great time working with him, so easy to joke around, such a pleasure to be around and got us the PERFECT pictures! Everyone at our wedding gave him compliments on his work and gave us beautiful pictures. When he showed us the previews, it was better than we could’ve imagined. He’s absolutely flawless, 10/10 recommend!!!!

We could not be happier with the outcome of their work from our wedding two weekends ago! We not only appreciate the photos to look back on, but also the time Scott and I had when taking the photos to step back and enjoy that intimate time we had with eachother. The team really did make every session so personalized and natural. We loved that aspect. Thanking Gustavo and his team throughout the process since day one for their ongoing patience, kindness , and high quality sessions in covering our wedding! ☺️💗 Team Bill + Juliana rock! We had so much fun with you!

Gustavo and his team photographed our engagement photos as well as our wedding on May 22, 2022. We recieved our sneak peak photos in 2 days and we are absolutely blown away! The attention to detail and professionalism of Gustavo and his team is unmatched! They make you feel so comfortable behind the camera and are SO much fun to work with! If you are still on the hunt for a photographer look no further you will not be disappointed! We can't wait to see the rest of our photos and video!

Gustavo and his team are simply the best! We worked with two photographers and two videographers from his team, and everyone was so professional and organized. Our photographs are incredible, and we can’t wait to see the video. Gustavo offered us several options to suit our event, and was also able to coordinate our engagement pictures. His team worked so well with our venue to plan around the flow of our wedding. We would recommend Gustavo and his team to anyone, and wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again!

From top to bottom, my husband David and my experience with Gustavo and his team was perfect. It would seem outrageous to think an experience was perfect, but there really is no other word to describe it. David and I had our engagement photos and wedding photos done with Gustavo and the quality is unmatched. Gustavo captured our engagement photos and it was amazing to watch him work. Having followed him on Instagram prior to hiring him, it was evident you were getting a quality photographer, but more than that, you’re hiring an artist and one who is continually seeking to improve himself (although I don’t know how you can get any better than he already is). He is constantly upgrading equipment, attending workshops, and dialing in his already well-curated craft. He has an eye for lighting, logistics, and capturing a photograph so breathtaking that you would believe time stood still for that one brief moment. I love the quality and quantity of photos that were taken during our engagement shoot and wedding, but also the quality of care he and his team took on the day of our wedding. Every shot was intentional, he and Juliana worked together so well (which is helpful considering they’re siblings), plus he and his team were able to capture some very genuine moments like my mom helping me with my dress in the bridal suite and also a humorous moment outdoors while I was taking pictures with my bridal party in the gardens. Within 48 hours of the wedding, we already had preview photos and got our full wedding album within a month of our wedding. David and I are beyond thrilled with our wedding photos and can’t thank he and his team enough for giving us the best possible experience we could’ve ever asked for.

My husband and I were married on 4/15/22. Gustavo, Julianna, and the whole team are beyond incredible. When my husband and I first got engaged, photographers and videographers were the first vendors we looked into because this was the most important to us. We instantly fell in love with Gustavo’s breathtaking work and scheduled our engagement photos with him. The photos we received were amazing and such high quality. Not only that, but the whole experience was great too. When it came to our wedding day, we already knew we would be in good hands for photo and video, but the experience we had blew us away. Gustavo and Julianna were so calm, organized, and meticulous- always ensuring they captured the best shots, lighting, angles, mood, etc. Their level of experience, professionalism, and confidence truly made me feel relaxed, like they had everything under control. Not once did I have to worry about a moment being missed or a detail going unnoticed- I had 100% confidence in them. They were on top of EVERYTHING. True professionals with the highest quality work. The whole team was an absolute dream to work with and we would choose them all over again in an instant!

Gustavo was excellent to work with. When we looked through his portfolio and saw all the amazing shots he took, especially at the venue where we were having our wedding, we knew he was the man for the job. You need to find someone reliable that you can trust to capture this big day, and we couldn't have been happier that we had him and his team there. He was easy to communicate with throughout the planning process, especially since we had to postpone our 2020 wedding. He was responsive and was honest about sharing his thoughts and opinions. For the wedding day, he was on time and ready to go. The wedding day is a whirlwind of a day, but he kept us moving to get all the shots we wanted from beginning to end. We were definitely on the same page in terms of what we wanted. Because he shot at our venue (The Waterview) many many times before, we had a great reference for some amazing shots that we wanted. And then there were the unplanned shots, the candid and in the moment shots that will always remind us of all the love that surrounded us. He is a true artist and knows how to play with the natural light and angles to capture the space and the people being photographed. We were super impressed that he even sent us some edited shots that same night. We did not have to wait long for the rest of the photos, and it's great that we have a link where they are available for us to download, print and share at our convenience. 100% recommend.

I truly have no words for Gustavo and his team. As a 2x covid bride, we certainly didn't have many things in our favor, however, Gustavo was one of the reasons the stress seemed worth it. From our engagement photos (pre pandemic) to our finally wedding photos, it is so apparent he as a 6th sense for knowing how to capture magic and love in the most artistic and beautiful way possible. On our wedding day, him and Igor had all of us laughing the entire time, which made me love them even more. I haven't even gotten all of our photos back yet, which is crazy considering the ones he did send me (the following day after the wedding, again, huge plus) are so beautiful. Gustavo is talented in the fact that he knows how to capture the moment, but also highlight the venue, lighting, scenery, etc. I couldn't imagine any other photographer. 100/10 WORTH IT

I was blown away the very first time I saw Gustavo’s work and knew I needed to book him. Gustavo was by far the easiest vendor to work with during my wedding planning and the most relaxed guy ever. He was understanding when we had to change our date and was willing to travel out of state for our wedding. His team is nothing but the absolute best and so kind. They made us feel so comfortable through out the day and nothing felt weird or awkward. Juliana was always making sure I was okay with them still taking pictures or checking if I needed a break, and put up with my awkward self. Our wedding was 3 weeks ago and we had sneak peaks the next day and I was blown away with every picture. From what I’ve seen so far his team captured my wedding day perfectly and I cannot recommend him enough. I don’t think I can ever thank him and his team enough for their creativity, kindness and being an important part of our special day.

I highly recommend Gustavo and his staff for your wedding photography. Gustavo went above and beyond to capture my 8/6 wedding and make it stress free for everyone! Our pictures came out stunning and we could not love them more. He truly knew our venue (The Waterview) inside and out, and was able to find the most perfect spots to take pictures! He listened to our wishes and captured all the moments we really wanted. He even sent me a bunch of proofs the night of our wedding!! Gustavo is a true professional and I am so glad he was part of our special day!

Gustavo and his team are simply the best. If you are searching for a photographer/ videographer please stop and do yourself a favor and contact Gustavo right now you will not regret it. Our engagement pictures and wedding pictures were breathtaking. You and your team were so courteous and creative throughout our wedding we were so happy. Your communication throughout our wedding planning was phenomenal and we appreciate that. You went above and beyond for us on every occasion. Thank you so much for helping to make our special day the perfect day!

My Husband and I finally had our dream wedding September 12th 2021. Gustavo has been so amazing to work with and so accommodating with having to move our wedding date 4 times due to Covid. We booked Gustavo back in 2018 and still till this day was the best decision we made in the whole wedding planning process! from the first meeting to the wedding day to now! Dont look any where else for a photographer/ videographer!! Best Part is Gustavo and his crew made us feel so amazing and had so much fun while taking pictures and capturing every little moment. The day of our wedding they were sure to show us some sneak peaks and within 3/4 hours of our wedding ending they had dozens of pictures to us, i have never seen anyone else send that many! So again look no further GUSTAVO AND TEAM are the best there is!!!

Gustavo and his entire team delivered on a remarkable job of capturing our wedding day. They are creative, suggestive, polite, fun, and easy to work with! Their expertise will form an album of pictures including all the little wedding details and all the happiest moments enjoyed by the couple and guests throughout the day. The day after our wedding we received a “preview” of our pictures and were blown away by the outcome. We highly recommend Gustavo and his team. Don’t think twice about it, just go with it and you won’t regret it!! Many thanks to Gustavo, Netty, Paul, Brenda, and Julius for a great job done and a fun experience throughout!

Gustavo and his team were phenomenal!! They made us feel completely at ease and laughed the whole time they were there! Their wedding teasers are GORGEOUS and so are every single picture they took!

As soon as we met Gustavo (more than 2 years before our wedding) we knew he was the perfect fit to capture our big day. From our engagement shoot to our wedding, he was an absolute blast to work with! His photos are timeless, and unbelievably amazing. After switching reception venues due to covid, he was very accommodating and assuring that the day would be beautiful and we would have great pictures no matter what. Gustavo and his team are very professional, and their work is just absolutely stunning. He even texted me a few sneak peak photos the same night as our wedding, we were speechless! I’ve recommended him to multiple people and would book with him again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for a photographer for the most important day of your life, look no further and book with Gustavo!

Gustavo is by far the best wedding photographer. We recently got married July 18, 2021 and I can honestly say that hiring Gustavo was the best decision we made. I followed his work on social media and liked it so much that we booked him two years out. His prices are very reasonable and he does everything he can to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Additionally, his photos are absolutely stunning! We received a “sneak peek” the day after our wedding which was awesome and we were even more thrilled after receiving all the photos. We cannot thank Gustavo and his team enough for their amazing work and being able to share our special day with them. I would highly recommend booking Gustavo and his team! They are worth every penny!!

Gustavo and his team of Juliana & Ricky photographed our engagement shoot as well as our wedding day and did a wonderful job! Juliana and Ricky were attentive and professional. The photos came out amazing! I highly recommend booking with Gustavo and his team.

Gustavo and his team did a phenomenal job capturing our special day! They are THE BEST, most talented photographers you will meet and I promise you will not be disappointed with the finished outcome. I can not thank Gustavo and his team enough for being so kind hearted , patient and professional. Gustavo is very precise with his work and pays close attention to detail. He will capture every waking moment from start to finish. I even recieved a “sneak peak” the day after the wedding and I was in tears of how beautiful the work was. I could not be anymore grateful to have found such a beautiful group of photographers to share our special day with. I will forever cherish the breathtaking photos and video I have and look forward to sharing our future milestones with you!

Gustavo and Amanda just did our wedding and they were absolutely amazing!! there aren't words to say how wonderful they are to work with! They are the absolute best and we could not have made a better choice! I recommend them to everyone looking for a photographer!! Look not further, there is none better!

Oh my goodness, I cannot say enough great things about this company! Working with Gustavo through my wedding postponement and the pandemic put all my worries at ease. His photography team, Juliana and Ricky were amazing photographing our wedding day. Their patience and flexibility really helped my husband and I feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. They were a wonderful team that truly captured the perfection of our wedding day. I was so surprised when they sent me some preview pictures the day after my wedding, they are stunning! Highly recommend!!

Gustavo, Luiza, Juliana, and Netty are simply the best, hands down. We talked to 6-7 wedding photographers and though Gustavo’s pricing was comparable, his photos were lightyears ahead of everyone else’s. Gustavo has a way of bringing a magical feel to his photos without them looking fake. They are truly gorgeous, jaw-dropping photos. Juliana and Gustavo took our engagement photos, and they were stunning. We included our 3 dogs, and he was able to get great photos with ALL of us looking. On our wedding day, Gustavo and Luiza were our photographers, and Netty ran the photo booth. Netty has an incredible spirit - so full of life, with a happiness that’s contagious. I wish she could hang out with me all the time - I’d never have a sad, bad day! That’s the kind of energy you want at a wedding. Luiza and Gustavo were great day of. They got the shots they needed without making the whole day about photos - and they weren’t totally in our guests’ faces either (which has happened to me as a guest and gets annoying). We got some teaser pics the morning after and words cannot explain how beautiful they are. The lighting, the colors, the emotions - they captured the pure love and magic of the day. We can’t wait to see all of the photos. Hire Gustavo’s team and you’ll memorialize your wedding forever in the best way possible. They are worth every penny.

Stop looking right now and reach out to Gustavo. We have received so many amazing compliments about our breathtaking engagement pictures and wedding previews. Gustavo and Julianna are extremely professional and easy to work with. They are open to your photo ideas, but also have amazing suggestions for when you aren’t sure how to bet those perfect shots. I can’t imagine our wedding without this team. THANK YOU, GUSTAVO AND JULIANNA! -Allison and Doug (7/18)

Gustavo Tessaro and his team are our go to photographers. We have worked with Juliana on numerous occasions and absolutely love her work. Gustavo and Juliana made us feel so comfortable infront of the camera. For our wedding we did photography, videography and the magic mirror booth. Our photos were beyond beautiful, the video was a high quality production and both were beyond anything we could have dreamed of. Our guests loved the mirror photo booth and Netty the attendant and the booth were one of the top highlights of our reception. Would definitely recommend LightHouse Photo Group and plan on using again this summer for a family photo shoot. They will definitely be our family photographer for all our special moments to come in the future! They are the BEST!

Breathtaking is the word I would describe the work of Gustavo and his team! They are BEYOND talented and you will not be disappointed with the work they produce. The photos and video are high-quality and perfect! We could not have asked for a better group of people to capture our BIG day. Gustavo and his team are very sweet and make you feel comfortable! They bring out your personalities and capture amazing moments! We truly could not thank them enough, and we are very fortunate to have found this amazing company. We will definitely be recommending their services to our friends and families and we look forward to using them again in the future for other big milestones in our life!!

My husband and I were married on August 8, 2020 right after a hurricane hit and took out all the power in the state. After a very stressful last minute scramble to borrow generators and make everything work, we had a beautiful wedding with amazing weather. We would not have been as happy with how everything went had we not had Juliana and James there with us to capture the special moments. They were super flexible to cater to what we wanted while adding their incredible style and vision to each photo. Our wedding video was incredible! Anyone who needs a wedding photographer book ASAP! - Cody & Rita
