This Lighthouse should be decommissioned!!!
The good: The actual pictures are very nice and we have no complaints.
The Bad: They require you to pre-pay for the albums and make it nearly impossible to get them. They have no incentive to finalize and deliver them since they have all their money. Our wedding was over 6 years ago in 2018 and we just got our last album (after paying an additional ransom fee).
Yes, we could have been more proactive in the beginning. However, emails and phone calls are met with deafening silence. I had to resort to calling with my work phone and pretending to be a new customer to finally get a call back. Every interaction was plagued with weeks or months delay.
We finally received 2 of our 3 prepaid albums in the summer of 2023. They said the 3rd one shipped; however, they only had shipping information for the 2 we received. The 3rd shipping receipt had a different name and address. When I pointed this out, we were told that it's not their fault since they used multiple shippers and don't have complete records. If we wanted them to investigate what happened, we'd have to pay $125.
They even admitted that this fee was not in our contract. I had considered taking them to small claims court but with the filing fee and effort involved, I paid the $125.
Hope that ransom payment was worth this negative review.
Find a photographer that doesn't make you pay 100% upfront!!!
I had so much fun working with this group. We had Florio, Justin and Brian as our photo/video team. All three were amazing to work with and so incredibly efficient at making sure we got the shot but also got to enjoy the moment and the day itself. They were all quick with a smile or a joke that allowed our (typically camera shy) bridal party and family members to shine and enjoy the process. Prior to the day, Monica was also wonderful to work with. She is quick to respond and makes sure that you feel confident in your wedding timeline and shot list so that they can take over the day of your wedding. Separately from the wonderful team, I had initially chose Lighthouse for their a la carte purchasing options that allowed me to feel a bit more in control of what I actually wanted from my photo and video for the wedding. Very much so recommend!
We are very happy with Lighthouse Photography. We had Florio and Justin on our wedding day, 10/25/24. Both of them were very personable and energetic. They made taking photos very easy and were able to make everyone confident and comfortable. Working with them was fun and easy, we would def use them again. We cannot wait to see our photos.

Highly recommend! Florio was amazing, personable, and easy going. His assistant Anthony was great as well! We also used Lighthouse for video, and the whole team was so friendly and nice to be around all day. We highly recommend!
A dream vendor!! The Lighthouse staff made us, and our bridal party feel comfortable and confident. Your friendliness and professionalism were not only appreciated by us but also noticed and praised by our family and the entire bridal party. Your attention to detail and dedication to your craft were evident throughout the day and It was remarkable to witness the team working together cohesively ensuring that every detail was executed flawlessly. Our wedding day was nothing short of magical, and you played a monumental role in making it the best day. Your skills in capturing those precious moments will allow us to relive our special day for years to come. The photographers, Florio and Omar, along with the videographer, Min, are not only incredibly talented, but also a pleasure to work with. Thank you! - The Guzmans
They were amazing!!!!! Every shot and pic I wanted, we did before the cocktail hour so I could enjoy my night. Florio and Chris were our photographers and Min Kim on videography. The worked great with our timeline and made sure everything went smoothly. They were so easy to contact when I had questions or concerns. Highly recommend them!
We worked with Florio and Michelle, we had so much fun taking pictures! I’m very self conscious of myself and Florio made me feel amazing! We laughed so much that day and I would HIGHLY recommend them!
Lighthouse Photography EXCEEDED my expectations on my wedding day. I had Florio as my main photographer and Justan as my 2nd and both were nothing but fantastic. They kept my bridal party, my family, my husband and I laughing the entire day. They made us all feel so comfortable. My family and friends are still talking about how awesome they were. From what I have seen, the pictures are absolutely stunning as well. We also did Videography with them. My videographer was quiet, but seemed to get all the shots we wanted for my video. I have seen a quick snippet, and so far, have loved what I saw! I would 100 percent recommend Lighthouse Photography for anyone who is looking for the best of the best!
I wish I could give them 100 stars. They are FANTASTIC! Florio and Luis were incredible. So easy going and really care about getting beautiful shots and are so kind and funny. I can’t recommend them enough
I will start off with, if you go anywhere else you’re crazy. Lighthouse gave my now husband, Joe and I the best experience ever. We worked personally with Florio and his crew of photographers and videographers. We both absolutely loved each and everyone of them. When we asked the owner of the venue we used for advice in choosing a photographer and videographer, his advice was to find someone you feel comfortable with. Joe and I worked with Florio 6 months before our wedding for our engagement shoot. My husband was nervous at first driving to the photoshoot because it was all new to him. Florio’s personality was so infectious the experience we had with him far exceeded our expectations. Leaving we both remarked about how much fun it was and couldn’t wait to work with him again, mind you it was one of the coldest days of the year. When we were looking at different websites to create our save the dates, most were either too expensive or their proofs weren’t as nice as we would have liked. Joe and I contacted Lighthouse and spoke with Monica about our Save the Date wishes and goals and no one could believe the beautiful work she completed. Everyone was calling us to tell us how beautifully everything came out. Every and any time I contacted Lighthouse and Monica via email or phone her response was almost instantaneously. That is a huge stress relief for a bride planning her wedding. The day of the wedding comes and here comes Florio and Mike through the doors of my residence with smiles, positivity and sincere joy. He would make any bride feel confident and excited on their wedding day. Everyone in the bridal party felt comfortable and loved them immediately . Even the youngest flower girls and Ring boys felt comfortable with him, and they were terrified the day of. Throughout the night I felt so comfortable with Florio and his whole crew by my side. They felt like part of the family. The topping on the cake, at the end of the night when it was time to leave someone put off fireworks outside and Florio stayed behind with a smile, unpaid for his extra time and escorted my husband and I safely across the street to take the most dynamite pictures. The venues son himself expressed that they were one of the best he’s ever seen. If you want for your wedding experience to be enjoyable and to receive a photo book right out of the fairytale story books I would 100 percent recommend Lighthouse photography.
AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!! Florio and his team were an absolute dream. I am so beyond happy with our choice to go with Lighthouse photography for our wedding on 5/29/22. We had them booked for almost 2 years and the entire process was a breeze. Monica was wonderful to work with over the phone and answered every one of our hundred questions.
Florio was very professional while he was also able to crack jokes and make the day so fun for all of us. We had a bridal party of 20 people and Florio was able to keep the party under control in a respectful, fun way. We had a list of “must have photos” that Florio printed out and continued to reference the whole day. He was patient, caring, and by far the best photographer I have ever met. My friends and family were so pleased & continue to talk about how good this vendor was. You can NOT go wrong with Lighthouse. I’m sure I’ll have another amazing review to post after we get our photos, video, drone footage back!!
Lighthouse photography was so easy to work with and did such an incredible job accommodating all of our wedding photo wishes. Their attention to detail is impressive, and they are incredibly passionate about what they do. Monica made the whole process of the contract and details so easy. She was easy to reach and helpful with all questions. I also highly recommend doing an engagement shoot with Florio - it will get you comfortable ahead of your wedding day. That said, Florio is so great! He's fun and really makes you at ease on your special day - get ready for a good time with Florio!! Luis is also an absolutely excellent photographer and worked so well with my husband and the men of the bridal party. Jonathan is SO passionate about videography, and got super excited about interesting shots that he knew would look awesome. His excitement is infectious, and really contributes to your hype on the day-of. Overall, this team is nothing short of consummate professionals and I would highly recommend them to anyone searching for a wedding photographer/videographer team.
Florio and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with all day! Florio had the perfect amount of jokes to keep the day light and fun when emotions started to come through. He and his team made every single member of the bridal party super comfortable from start to finish. I gave him a list of poses and specific spots to take pictures at, and he recreated each and every vision that we had perfectly! After all of the group shots were done, they did a great job capturing candid and posed moments of the entire party on the dance floor. We are SO excited to see all of the beautiful shots you captured – from the few sneak peaks you showed us throughout the day, we can only imagine how incredible they will be!
Florio is just the absolute best. The entire crew at Lighthouse is amazing. We first met with Florio for our first appointment and his personality is hilarious and his actual work is top notch. From our engagement shoot all the way to the big wedding day, Florio and the Lighthouse crew has been so responsive. Especially when rescheduling so many times due to covid. On our day we had Florio, Siobhan and Abel as photographers and Michael as our videographer. They were with us from 12pm all the way to 11:30pm, almost 12 hrs. At one point in the night I asked for Florio but I didn't realize that he was having a quick bite of dinner when I asked for him and he IMMEDIATELY came running to see what I needed. When I realized he had been eating, I had to convince him to go back and finish his meal (which all vendors deserve to enjoy, especially photographers/videographers, they are with you for so long they need to rest and eat too!!). He is that dedicated to his job. Florio and Siobhan were so wonderful with my flowergirls and ring bearers also. Honestly Florio had the whole crowd outside the church cracking up and he had the most wonderful energy.
I knew I would love my photos and video when I received them, but they honestly took my breath away. Slowly working on my album now with Lighthouse and can't wait to see that too!
RUN to book Lighthouse Photography, you seriously won't regret it.
THIS VENDOR IS AMAZING! Florio was our lead photographer with Michelle as our second and Min as our videographer. I can’t praise these team enough. First of all the had the BEST energy! My husband is not a big picture person but Florio made it fun! I also really loved that he would stop to show us some of the pictures he was taking. I remember thinking “holy crap these pictures look amazing without and editing or re-touching… they are going to look phenomenal afterwards.” It was a little thing that just gave me even more confidence in them throughout the whole process. All three were professional, kind and the pictures we did get to see are gorgeous. I am beyond excited for all of them to come in and for our videos!
AMAZING!! First, our engagement photo shoot was so fun with Florio, and it was great practice for the BIG DAY! Then, our wedding day was even better! Florio, Joe and Michele are so professional, but also know how to have a good time and help make the photos fun and not stressful. Florio got every single shot my husband and I wanted. Monica was also so sweet to work with and she made sure all the details were finalized and just how we wanted them. We couldn't be happier!! Highly recommend!!
I couldn’t say enough great things about Lighthouse Photography. They are such a pleasure to work with, especially with 2 postponements due to COVID. Florio and his team are the absolute best and my photos came out amazing. They are so much fun throughout the day and help everything move along smoothly. All of my guests still talk about how great my photographer was. The BEST in the business!
Booking Lighthouse Photography is easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Florio and Luis were nothing short of amazing. Both of them made sure to get the best pictures possible, all while still allowing us to enjoy the party and have fun. Florio makes picture taking seem easy and fun! He always tries to crack jokes and make everyone laugh to get the best and authentic photographs. Behind the scenes, Monica was super helpful answering all questions and fixing the timeline numerous times as the COVID restrictions changed. We cannot thank Lighthouse Photography enough for capturing our wonderful day! :)
Florio and his team are the epitome of professionals. They were very organized and so easy to work with. They provided all the shots we wanted and still got us in for cocktail hour! Once the wedding started they operated in the background, even during the big moments to ensure we enjoyed our night!
Lighthouse is SIMPLY THE BEST! Planning a wedding during a global pandemic is stressful and causes a lot of anxiety. But with Florio, Monica & the lighthouse team, our PERFECT day was captured and we were able to relax and enjoy every single second of it! Florio and Inna were our photographers and the way they make everyone feel so comfortable really shows in our pictures! Joe was our videographer and he was AMAZING! They showed up on time and made sure we got every single Photo that we wanted (& there were ALOT!...) but Florio and his team stayed almost 2 hours extra just to make sure that we got everything- and had the most patience with us!! Lighthouse was by far our favorite vendor to work with- we were so happy that they were with us on our special day!! They completely exceeded any expectations we had for our wedding day. If you are looking for a photographer, look no further...lighthouse is AMAZING!!!
We were married in a small ceremony and reception on 9/5/20. Florio was absolutely amazing in every way. He knew exactly what pictures needed to be taken and how to schedule everything seamlessly, despite us taking pictures at two different locations. During the before and after shots, he was very creative and engaging, and we got some awesome candid shots. He captured everything during the ceremony and reception to the point where we can look back on our photos and remember the moment- truly special! Our ceremony was on the beach during the sunset, and he worked the environment into the photos in a spectacular way. It is not easy to capture a Covid wedding, but Florio was very professional and careful, and made the entire photo experience fun and very enjoyable. He even stayed a little late to capture more shots than we originally bargained for! Our photos came out wonderful, and we've had multiple people comment on how great and funny our photographer was. Thanks again, Florio!
I’m a librarian and I do my research, and Florio is for real the BEST!!!! I can now attest to that in person and I am so happy we were able to have him capture our special day! I knew I wanted Florio and didn’t hesitate to book him over two years in advance. Florio and his team are one of the best and easiest decisions we made for our wedding. He has such an artful eye for his craft and puts everyone at ease. He makes jokes the entire time and makes taking pictures enjoyable. He knows exactly what he's doing and exactly what he wants and he will make sure he does whatever he has to to get the shot. During our engagement photo session (highly recommend doing this so you can get comfortable with your photographer and vice versa) he literally laid down in the parking lot on his back to get a rainbow in the background at the perfect angle for our shot. Florio is creative and fun and was a calming presence throughout the entire process. He put me at ease several times, especially during the day of the wedding when I felt like I was running behind with our timeline. He made sure to get all of the pictures I wanted and constantly checked in with me throughout the day. He even made my husband who hates taking pictures, enjoy it because he makes it so fun, carefree, and creative. I have no doubt in my mind that these pictures will be phenomenal and I cannot wait to see them. From the few sneak peaks he sent...they will be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! We were lucky enough to get beach photos in February and Florio and his team were all game for it! Monica, his wife, runs the office side of the business and she was always very responsive, helpful, and sweet. They make a wonderful team! The wonderful Carolina was our second photographer and Joe F. was our videographer for the day. They all worked together so perfectly to ensure that we got the best photos and video of our wedding and that we were happy with the product. Do not hesitate to book with Florio and his team ASAP. You will not regret it!
I was very nervous about choosing a photographer, since I am the least photogenic person I know. I chose Lighthouse on the recommendation of my uncle, who is an amateur photographer and did some research for me. While the initial trip was a little bit of a hike from New Jersey, it ended up being completely worth it. The rest of the coordinating was done by email and was VERY easy. On the day of my wedding, the photographers were on time, professionally dressed, and made my whole day run as smoothly as I could have hoped. In addition, the photos and videos came out unbelievably well!! I can't believe how gorgeous they made me look, and I am so excited to share their finished products with my friends and family!
Absolutely loved Florio and Ina! They had us laughing the entire time, and really did their best to get all of the shots I requested - all of which are amazing! I'm so so happy to have chosen them, you're in good hands!
Lighthouse was amazing from start to finish. Monica is so helpful is getting everything set up, and answering any questions along the way. Our photographers were Michelle and Joe, and our videographer was Joe. They were all very nice, but Michelle went above & beyond! We met her a few months before the wedding for a drink, just to break the ice and get a feel for each other. She exceeded our expectations day-of. She made sure we got every shot that I had on my list. We spoke early in the evening about a nighttime photo shoot, and she checked in with us around dinner time to see if we were still up for it - didn’t pressure us at all, made sure we weren’t sick of photoshoots at that point, and kept everything light & fun. Everyone commented that we had the best photo & video team. Our only *complaint* is that it took almost 6 weeks to see anything. I would’ve loved a couple teaser photos earlier as I had literally 2 photos of the wedding up until that point 😫 However, the photos were worth the wait - they are STUNNING!! I couldn’t be happier, I truly feel like they captured every detail of the day, and it made me feel so good reliving the best day of our lives. I would 100% recommend to anyone!
We picked Lighthouse after meeting with a few different vendors. We loved how they let us make a package that worked best for us. Florio was a blast to work with. During our engagement session we met our wedding photographer Inna. She was incredible and easy to work with us. She made us feel so comfortable. The owner Florio showed up and our shoot had different angles. The actual wedding day we had Inna and Eugene. They had such different styles that we loved. We were able to get so many different types of pictures. We highly recommend them!
I can't say enough great things about Lighthouse!! Luis was our main photographer and when we met him at our engagement shoot, we knew we had chosen the right person for our wedding. He is so friendly and professional, and really had fun with all of us. He kept to our timeline and the few pics he showed us are BREATHTAKING! Eugene was our second photographer and the boys loved him as well! He's hilarious and really got them to have fun and enjoy taking photos. Ildar was our videographer and I cannot wait to see the video - he was super creative in his footage and very professional when giving direction to all of us. All in all, Lighthouse was incredible and I am SO glad we went with them!! Plus our big Italian families loved all three team members, which is no small accomplishment!
Florio & Carolina were incredible to work with and so easy going but kept you on your schedule! They had so much energy even at 7am!! We were laughing the whole time we took pictures!! They both really took the time to make sure we got the pictures we wanted and were so creative with the shots. We can’t wait to see them!!! We would recommend lighthouse to anyone and can’t wait to use them again in the future for Christmas photos or anniversary photos! Christina & Aaron
Lighthouse was a delight to work with from start to finish. They made everything so easy and did such an amazing job on our photos and videos. My family still talks about how great they were and how lovely the photos are. The customer service they provide is also fantastic-quick responses and they are super helpful. Highly recommend!!
Lighthouse Photography is the way to go!! Florio is just the best, and Ina was right up there with him! They both were thoughtful and efficient. We had a pretty tight morning schedule and timeline, and they were so accommodating. They both made us all feel comfortable, and they really seem to enjoy their job, which makes such a huge difference. Florio had his eyes on everything and never missed an opportunity to capture a special moment. Not to forget, Monica was always so sweet and reassuring leading up to the day, making sure our schedule was right and everything was in order. We are so happy we worked with them...highly recommend!
We couldn't be happier picking Lighthouse as our photographers for our wedding. The pictures came out beautiful (both engagement and wedding). Michelle was our lead photographer and she is fantastic! They did a very good job at understanding the look we were going for and accommodating it. Recommend them 100%.
We were lucky enough to receive a recommendation about light house. They were the absolute best. Monica was quick and responsive handling any questions we had before hand. Florio is amazing, he made us feel so comfortable all day and like movie stars. He keeps everyone laughing and having fun which leads to the best shots. Luis is amazing as well and did a great job with my husband and his groomsman during the morning. It was one of the hottest days of the year and they did not complain once and worked so hard to make sure we got the best shots. one of the things that amazed me was that after the 10th hour they still had the same amount of energy as they did during the first hour. Florio finds a way to put you at ease and make the process so much more natural. We cannot recommend him enough, he is the best. We can't wait to see how the pictures came out but from seeing the sneak pics I have no doubt they will be amazing!
OH MY GOD okay so I am obsessed with florio joe and Luis. Leading up to the wedding, I received top notch service from the lighthouse team. Emails all answered promptly and you knew they wanted nothing more than to give you what you wanted. From the moment I saw florio I felt at ease. Joe guided me every step of the way explaining the vision behind what he was having me do. Florio got me and my girls amped up in the hotel photos. Evan said Luis was so patient with his guys because they were whining about the heat LOL he was fun cool and great to work with! Florio joe and Luis had an awesome dynamic at the wedding. They worked so hard to get the perfect shot for every photo and kept a smile on their faces even when we were visibly getting tired which gave us the energy to keep going—taking pictures for an entire afternoon is tough at times for sure! They also were great with the little ones in the wedding party and worked so hard to try to get them to smile. You could tell they wanted every photo to look perfect and I know they will. At the reception they were always there getting shots of every moment. They got the best video and photo I am sure of it and can’t wait to see how the photos turned out. They were just incredible to work with and I am so happy we chose them.
Lighthouse Photography is the best of the best! This team's work ethic, professionalism, enthusiasm and energy is incredible! Most important, they will give you what YOU want! Florio and his team will make this experience stress free, productive and fun! You can't go wrong with them. They made our day so smooth despite the massive heatwave on our wedding day (103 degrees). We got a sneak peak of 3 of our photos the same day and they were absoutely fantastic! I can't wait to see the rest!
My husband and I used Lighthouse Photography recently for our wedding. After meeting with other local photography companies, where the pressure was as high as the prices, findings Florio was relieving to say the least. Our immediate impression was, wow this guy truly enjoys his profession. The work we viewed during the first meeting was just beautiful. We couldn’t wait to get started. Before the wedding, we had our engagement photos done. The process was actually fun, and gave us idea of what to expect at the wedding. Florio gave us easy-to-follow posing instructions on how to look best, and he took care of the rest. The photos came out so unbelievable, I can’t even put words to it. Aside from the photos being amazing, communication was easy, he was timely for all appointments, and he & his team blended in just like guests at our wedding. I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone getting married.
We were so happy with Florio and everyone at lighthouse photography for our wedding day!! From the moment Florio arrived at my house the morning of capturing pictures of me and my bridesmaids and family getting ready to the end of the night capturing sunset photos, he had everyone laughing. He is so up beat, fun, and professional. He captured the most beautiful photos I have ever seen and had us relaxed and having a good time in the process. Even before the wedding day, we had a meeting with him and he went over what to expect on the wedding day, different poses that would be most flattering and took into consideration our overall theme and look. My whole family and husband loved lighthouse photography and were so impressed with the photos. When your photos will someday be all you have to look back on from your wedding day, it is smart to hire someone that is knowledgeable, professional, and that you can trust—Florio and Lighthouse photography are all of the above and more, I could not recommend them highly enough!!!!
The BEST video & photographers around! Their attention to detail and the eye for the right background & lighting is amazing.
Florio was SO much fun to work with. He makes everyone laugh the whole day and you have fun taking pictures all day long. His team that was with him Inna and Joe were fantastic as well.
I
Florio and Monica were a DREAM to work with! We booked right away after meeting them for the first time because they were not only professional but very accommodating! From our amazing engagement shoot to the day of my wedding, everything went flawless. Monica was able to come up with a timeline and a location for pictures after my first location cancelled on me 5 days before my wedding. Florio arrived the morning of my wedding early enough to capture all the special moments. If there was an option to give more than 5 starts I would! I cannot recommend them enough after seeing my stunning wedding photographs! My favorite vendor! Thank you Florio and Monica for making us feel and look like a King and Queen!! You are the BEST!!!
I can not recommend Lighthouse Photography enough!! For my wedding, I had Joe and Inna and WOW they were amazing from start to finish. We booked at the studio with Monica, who is so nice and personable. She took her time going over packages with us and showing us samples. Joe did our engagement shoot and was the main photographer for the night of our wedding and Inna was his second shooter. Both Joe and Inna were polite, fun, and a pleasure to work with! I just got some teaser photos this morning and I am obsessed with them and am dying to see more. From start to finish, Lighthouse Photography was a pleasure to work with and I never once worried or doubted how my photos would come out.
4 years ago at my sister in laws wedding, I got to see Florio in action, that night i knew he was going to be the one to capture my big day! Florio, Inna and Ray, our videographer were a great team. Florio had us laughing from start to finish! I really cant say enough just haow great the Lighthouse team is. From Monica answering all our questions, to Florio warming up his car to jump into to warm up from taking pictures outside. Ray was on the dance floor all night getting video, but looked like one of the crowd. Lighthouse helped make the biggest day in our lives truly magical for us, and for that we are forever grateful!
Lighthouse Photography did a wonderful job taking photographs for our wedding. Even with a bunch of last minute changes, they worked so hard to accommodate my requests and get beautiful shots. I recommend them for your wedding. Thank you!
If there were more then 5 stars to give lighthouse I would. Florio, Will and Brent were the best team we could have asked for. From the moment he got to my house, he was on. He had every bridesmaid take off hair ties and from there we were off! I had 9 bridemaids and 8 groomsmen and he did a fantastic job of keeping everyone happy and attentive. He made my husband and I feel completely comfortable and confident in the work he did. He periodically would show us the photos and they were outstanding. He listened to any request we had as well as improvised when he found the perfect light. Waiting for my photos and video will be hard but I know it is all worth it. Coindre hall had many many options for places to take photos and he did an amazing job of not making it overwhelming. HIRE THEM!!!
We booked this company after working with Florio in another wedding my husband and I were in. After seeing how he handled my girlfriends special day I knew I wanted him to capture my special day. We were lucky enough to have Florio and Luis and they were both professional, fast, perfectionists, and passionate. They made sure the shots and lighting were exquisite. They took special requests all day long as well as capturing all the moments one would want on their wedding day. Besides actually getting married the photographer is the most important part of the day as they will capture the moments you'll cherish for life and look back upon. We know that we had the best with this company and would recommend them if you want to have fun and have the most beautiful pictures you could dream of ! They made sure to be efficient without rushing but making sure we enjoyed our party as much as possible. We are looking forward to seeing the memories captured by these amazing artists !!!! Thank you Florio and Luis we loved working with you both !! - Rob and Lindsey Semprini
We were married on August 5 and we absolutely loved working with Lighthouse, definitely one of my favorite vendors. Monica is so sweet and responsive with informative answers to any questions I had. Florio the owner was hysterical and we loved doing our engagement shoot with him. Unfortunately, Florio had an emergency the day before our wedding so he could not shoot our day and they were so concerned about our well being, it was so nice to know we were in such caring hands! Monica took care of handling all the switch over details so I had nothing to worry about and we felt completely comfortable with leaving it in her hands. We worked with Luis and the rest of the team for our wedding day and they were amazing as well! From start to finish they captured pretty much every detail of the day! Jonathan the videographer was also amazing to work with, every one at the wedding kept mentioning how fun and nice he was. We can't wait to see the video. Monica sent us our wedding photos 3 weeks after our wedding, we were so surprised to have them so soon and we loved them all, as did our family and friends. We recommended Lighthouse to 2 of our friends who have also used them for their weddings and they loved working with them as well! I will continue to recommend Lighthouse as working with them was easily the easiest and stress free part of our wedding planning process. Thank you so much to the whole team for everything you did for us!
We used Lighthouse for our engagement shoot and wedding day as well as videography. We had been referred to them by friends and upon meeting Florio, we just loved his personality! Him and Monica were so responsive with emails and any questions we had. We were a little uncomfortable at first in front of the camera for our engagement shoot but Florio made us feel so much more comfortable and the photos came out so beautiful!! He is a pleasure to work with and kept our bridal party and families laughing throughout the day!
Florio, the owner was our wedding photographer. He is hysterical! Always made us laugh, which made us feel super comfortable. He also shot our engagement shoot in the pouring rain & the pictures still came out amazing! Highly recommend him and his staff!
Florio, the owner, was our photographer for our wedding at Lombardi's on the Sound. Out of all of our hired help he was THE BEST. He came dressed the part, is handsome and added humor from beginning to end. His "behind the scenes" wife, Monica is a pleasure to deal with, always getting right back to you and making sure you are comfortable with the planning. We highly recommend this professional business.
Absolutely love Lighthouse Photography!!! Monica was always fantastic to work with. Our main photographer was Joe, who made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and he made the shoot super fun. For our wedding we got to work with Joe again, and this time Kevin joined as our second photographer and Jonathan for video. Needless to say we couldn't have picked a better team to capture our special day - this is the best team on Long Island!!!
My husband and I got married on 4/21/17. Monica is amazing and is always available or will respond back in a timely manner. Florio was our photographer and when I tell you he is amazing, that is an understatement. One of my bridesmaids is planning on booking him just because of his personality! He is assertive but in the most polite way. We had a large bridal party and he was able to change positions quickly and get a ton of shots in. His assistant Jen was also amazing! She is an actual photographer but was the assistant on our wedding day. She was hysterical and made us feel so comfortable which was difficult when you have these 2 light saber looking things in your face. Florio was WONDERFUL with my flower girls. Within 2 days he already sent us sneak previews and we received SO many compliments already. His wedding albums are also amazing and require no upgrades (unless you want a larger size). If I had to redo my wedding I 100% would hire Florio and his team again, no questions asked!!! I can't wait to work with him in future events. Amazing job, can't wait to get my photos!!!!!
My husband and I got married March 2017. Florio and Monica have been absolutely wonderful to work with!! Our engagement photo shoot was fun because Florio is an absolute blast! The day of our wedding was absolutely perfect. We got every picture on our must have list. The videographer was incredible!! We even forgot he was there. Overall it was a magical experience and we were so glad Lighthouse Photography was there to document our perfect day!!
Absolutely adore Lighthouse Photography!!! Florio and Monica are a pleasure to work with. They came highly recommend by a few friends of ours and we were not dissapointed. We knew from the moment we met them that we wanted them to do our wedding. Monica and Florio were so welcoming and we really vibed with them both. My January winter wedding was nothing short of magical and the lighthouse team played a huge part in that! We are forever grateful !
Cannot praise Florio and Monica from lighthouse photography more! We had Florio and his assistant shoot our wedding in June 2016. They were so great to work with. From our first meeting with Florio, we knew that we had to work with him. He was so professional and was able to get the shots we wanted, along with the shots the family wanted. He has an amazing vision and made sure we were happy throughout the process. Monica checked in with us several times before the big day, including helping us find a great spot/time for our engagement shoot. Working with Florio for our engagement shoot helped us get comfortable in front of the camera and allowed Florio to get to know our personalities a bit. All in all, a great experience and I would recommend Florio, Monica and the Lighthouse team a hundred times over!
Lighthouse photography was the first photographer we looked into and didn't look any further from the first meeting until the last picture everything was AMAZING. They captured every moment we wanted and more. Charlie went above and beyond the minute I realized we left the marriage license at the hotel. He hopped in his car and got it before we even had to ask someone. I highly recommend them for any event. Can't wait to see the photos!
One of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process was choosing Lighthouse Photography. From the start, Monica was a pleasure to work with to design the perfect photography and videography package for our special day. She stayed involved throughout the entire planning process, helping schedule our engagement shoot and coordinating the day-of schedule for our wedding.
Our lead photography was Florio, the owner. I cannot say enough wonderful thing about Florio. His expertise is obvious and his outgoing personality and enthusiasm were infectious. He made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera, something we are not used to, at all! We also had the pleasure of working with Louis (2nd photographer), Danielle (assistant) and Jonathan (videographer) on our wedding day, who were also incredibly professional and lovely to work with.
We received our wedding photos less than two months after the big day and are already working on our albums! The Lighthouse team beautifully captured the best day of our lives so far and we are so very grateful. We are also anxiously awaiting our wedding trailer, which we know will be equally as amazing as the photos.
We already received countless compliments on our photos and the Lighthouse team from our guests. We even had several guests, friends and family ask for Lighthouse’s info and we were thrilled to recommend such a fantastic team.
Thank you again for providing us with a means to relive the most magical day over and over again.
As expected, Florio, Jonathan, Vincent, Bobby, & Ian outdid themselves! The team at Lighthouse always goes above and beyond to make sure they capture the moments that are most important to you on your special day. Even at the reception you don't even know they are there. They keep things moving along so you don't miss your own celebration. I can't say enough about Lighthouse. Monica, who holds down the fort in Port Jeff, is always willing to answer your questions and help things run smoothly. Another job soectacularly done by everyone at Lighthouse. They do what they love, and they love what they do!!! Thank you guys SO much from the bottom of our hearts! We absolutely loved working with you!
AMAZING! We first used lighthouse photography for our engagement pictures. From that moment on, after we had met Florio, we knew we wanted them as our wedding photographer. We could not have been more happier with the way our photos and video came out. Everyone there was so nice and professional to deal with. Any time I had a question about something, Monica was right there to help guide me along the way. Florio was absolutely awesome! All of our bridal party raved about how funny and comfortable he made all of them feel in front of the camera. We can't thank you enough for all you have done for us! We look forward to working with you again in the future!!!
Florio, Monica, & staff are the BEST!! I booked them for my wedding this past Friday, October 2nd, and all I can say is WOW!! They went above and beyond to get the best shots and made it fun while doing it. Pictures are all you have to remember such an important day in your life and they do an incredible job at capturing every moment. They are all so talented and professional and I cannot wait to work with them again. I would HIGHLY recommend Lighthouse Photography & their team to anyone & everyone!!
We used Lighthouse Photographyfor our wedding on September 6th, 2015 and are SO Happy with our decision! They have been so accomadating and patient and answered every single question or concern we had ! Luis and his team were so much fun and wonderful to work with ! We highly recommend this photographer and videographer !!!
The team at Lighthouse Photography is simply amazing and they really do go above and beyond! Every step of the way, they were right there by our side from the initial meeting to our wedding day. To me, the most important aspects of the wedding are the photographs and video as you will have that to cherish and reflect on for many years to come. I could not have asked for a better group of people to share my special day with. The day of your wedding things can get so hectic but the lighthouse team is so professional and make sure you capture all those specials. I cannot wait to see all the pictures they captured and i am fully assured that there was no moment that they did not capture. My parents were also stunned by their professionalism and the quality of their work. They could not stop mentioning how amazing they were and the fact that it seemed like we had our our "paparazzi" and how they know that every moment was captured. Thank you to the Lighthouse Photography Team!!
Florio and his team are awesome! Florio also shot our engagement pics, so we knew we were going to get top notch wedding photos. He also came HIGHLY recommended from two couples that we knew. He and his team are so fun to work with. They really put you at ease during your big day. Florio kept us laughing and really made it comfortable. He is so creative, you can really tell he loves what he does and that makes it so fun! Monica in the office was great to work with. We originally booked Lighthouse for a Sept date and we ended up moving our day up to April and Monica made sure Florio would still be available for us which was so important to us. I would never chose any photographer other than Florio in the future for all of our photo worthy events! THANK YOU LIGHTHOUSE PHOTOGRAPHY!!!!!
Love love love! Florio and the Lighthouse team did an absolutely amazing job on our engagement and wedding day photos! We also loved our wedding video! They went above and beyond our expectations. From the photographers, videographers, and lighting assistant, everyone was wonderful! Not only do they have an extreme amount of talent, but their personalities, enthusiasm, and dedication helped make everything go smoothly and perfectly. Florio helped ensure that we were on schedule and always remembered to ask if there were any additional shots that we wanted. There was only one left that my mother really wanted that we hadn't gotten yet so Florio stood until we got that final shot to make us completely happy! I undoubtedly knew we would love our pictures and video when we received them and we definitely do! They captured so many creative, heartfelt, and beautiful moments. We will cherish them for a lifetime and are so happy with the way everything came out!
We chose Lighthouse Photography for our wedding on November 11, 2012. Florio, the owner and a photographer at Lighthouse Photography, is very personable. He thoroughly explained all the various packages available and he answered our every question. We never felt pressured or rushed. Florio was always gracious and accommodating. We also used Lighthouse Photography for our videographer.
From the engagement photo session to receiving the final wedding photos, we have been extremely happy with Lighthouse. Florio and his staff always conducted themselves with the highest level of professionalism. They listened to our requests and captured every moment that we hoped for. Our pictures, video, thank-you’s and albums are gorgeous!!!
A special thank you must be given to Monica. She does all of the editing and she is amazing. She responded to my every email in a timely fashion and always accommodated my requests.
I highly recommend Lighthouse Photography!
Working with Lighthouse (our main photographer was Florio) was amazing. All the guys on the team were great. All my guests thought they were so sweet and so unobtrusive. Everyone is in shock when I tell them we got over 2000 pictures! We had 2 photographers each with an assistant. I would have scheduled out more time for pictures between ceremony and reception if possible, and I would ask for more candid shots of all the guests around the room, but other than that I wouldn't change anything.
We got an amazing deal. Our package included 3 albums (the parents albums are not dupicates of our album), all the rights to the pictures and 3 copies of the edited video. To save money, we decided not to have each picture printed out for us and they were given to us on flash drives. Amazing quality. I am so glad we splurged on getting whom we knew was one of the best!
Loved the photos and the video!!! would definatly recommend!!
Great team of photographers. Easy to work with, fun & flexible. We used them for both our wedding day & the day after for more fun photos taken all around Brooklyn. The ownder Florio is especially fun to work with. They were flexible on our package as well. No problems here!
Really can not put into words how amazing this photographer is!
Lighthouse Photography is amazing! Florio goes above and beyond to capture every special moment on your big day. They were by far my favorite vendor. Even my guests were raving about him after the wedding
You will not find a better photography crew than the staff at Lighthouse Photography! Florio is amazing he's very easy to work with. Our shooter was Joe C and he is great. Our videographer was Jonathan and he was AWESOME! I definitely recommend using Lighthouse, they are very modern and you will never see anything like their video anywhere else.
We worked with Fil and Derek and they were so much fun to work with, but they made sure they got all the shots I wanted. I liked that they weren't too overbearing and worked great with our other vendors. I've only seen a sneak peek of my photos but they look gorgeous. And their photo books are top quality.
Florio was amazing and we cant wait to see all the pictures! He made us feel so comfortable and it was obvious that he was a real professional! He went above and beyond to make our date the best!
We are so thrilled that we chose Lighthouse. They did an excellent job. They were always there to capture any unforgettable moment without being intrusive or in the way.
From our first meeting with Florio, we knew..not only was EVERY review positive, but meeting with them, speaking tot hem ont he phone,what they offer & their stunning work just makes it all that easy to choose them. I am so happy we chose Lighthouse & that they were a part of our day & the ones to capture our most important photos to last a life time & pass on to our children...Just see for yourself, check their website, meet with them,speak to them & you will just know they are the right choice to make!!!
Look no further for your wedding photographers! My husband and I were sold the moment we stepped into their studio. We meet with Florio, the owner, a true professional photographer. He did our engagement shoot and Barry and Joe did our July 21st wedding. I cannot express just how happy we were the the photos. We had such a great time working with them that day. We laughed and had alot of fun. Your wedding photos are one of the only memories you have after your wedding day. Lighthouse Photography was the only choice for us! Thank you for a perfect day and perfect pictures. I will surely use them again!
This studio surpassed all of my dreams for my wedding photography! Although we booked very close to our wedding date, the photographers that shot my wedding were wonderful! They had great command on what we wanted, followed every wish we had while still keeping us on schedule. The photographs came out absolutely amazingly, and I will always have beautiful photos to remember my wedding by. This studio will be photographing all of our happy moments in our new life together.
I used them only for video, and i LOVE the way my teaser has come out. I have to say, they did show up with more then double the amount of people i had contracted for, which got a little hectic, but i know my video will be exactly what i want. I could not be happier with what i have seen so far!
Lighthouse is the best. Florio is such a nice person to work with and he does beautiful work. Always prompt in responding to me and the photos for our wedding came out amazing!
I have not received my wedding photos yet, but they did my engagement photos (which were beautiful). They were fun to work with, and very patient.
From the initial interview to the follow up after the wedding, Lighthouse Photography has exceeded all expectations. Professionals and true experts of their field. A pleasure to work with.
