We are capturing the most important moments of your Special Day, every detail, the portraits, the laughter and the tears, the unforgettable moments that will never ever repeat. Our Brides and Grooms and their families are enjoying beautiful albums. We are also known for friendly customer service, professionalism and passion for our craft.
Introduction
The Wedding Industry
We love being part of one of the biggest day of your life. And we love taking great pictures as well as making beautiful films. We consider ourselves lucky to do what we love and love what we do.
The Wedding Memories
Over time, there are countless beautiful wedding memories we have captured. One surreal moment was when a bride, who not long ago lost her beloved brother, stepped by the window, looked up and sent a kiss towards the sky saying ''this is for you, my little broter'' and in that same exact moment, a beautiful bird landed on the edge of the window. Coincidence or not, it was powerful.

Company History
Lighthouse Photography Dream Weddings was founded in 2007 by Monica Alina and Florio Harrison Tilinca - husband and wife team. When choosing the company name, we liked the idea of incorporating the idea of a lighthouse for what it represents: guiding light, hope, lighting the path. Knowing that the brides are literally dreaming about their upcoming wedding day, we also added ''dream weddings'' into the name.
Our brides seem to love the fact that we aren't just showing up to capture their special day, we are also helping with the planning a little bit, sharing down to earth, practical advice to ensure success.

BOLI Love!
We booked with Monica and she was incredible. Their packages are extremely reasonable and their work is beautiful. We booked with Florio, his second shooter, Irene and our videographer was Min Kim. They were a dream team to work with. Florio showed up two hours early and got my detail shots taken while we were getting ready. He was so easy to get along with and made us feel so comfortable. The team followed my shot list request, and guided me to get the perfect shot while also capturing the natural moments of our day. We got teasers a week later and cannot wait to see the rest!
We had Min as our videographer and he was so great to work with. He was attentive and worked so well with Heather. We haven’t gotten our video yet, but his other work is great. Very excited to get our video back!
Professional and SO FUN!! We worked with Florio, Michelle, and Jonathan! They made posing easy, but also made sure we were having fun while taking our photos and videos! I truly cannot wait to see how everything comes out. The shots they stopped to show us throughout the day were beyond incredible. They also all helped our day run on time, so we could get all the pictures we wanted!
Another dream vendor. They played a significant role in making our wedding day even more special. They made us, and our entire bridal party, feel comfortable and confident during photos. You can tell they love what they do and are professionals. The photographers, Florio and Omar, along with the videographer, Min, are not only incredibly talented, but also a pleasure to work with.

Florio and the Lighthouse team were amazing at our recent wedding. Florio is so passionate and easy to work with. He has the best personality and makes everyone feel so comfortable. His work is beautiful and we truly loved working with them. Thanks again for everything Lighthouse-you guys are the best!!!
Lighthouse Photography exceeded my expectations. I was absolutely in love with my photos when I received them! Very Professional and experienced. Highly recommended!
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!
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!!
Words can’t explain the lengths that the team at Lighthouse Photography will go to make you feel so comfortable taken care of and excited about your wedding day. Monica was always just a phone call away answering all the questions we had, Florio and Luis felt like family by the end of the night keeping the energy so alive and fun we forgot we were taking pictures! This is all not to mention the STUNNING photos and videos that we will always cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you Lighthouse Photography!!
I can't even begin to describe how happy we were with Florio and his team throughout the entire day. They were so great and their talent shows in our amazing pictures. For those of you who have not picked a photographer yet I highly suggest you check them out. ❤❤
For anyone who's thinking about booking with Lighthouse Photography- DO IT!! We just got our pics back from our engagement shoot last weekend with Florio and I cannot tell you how awesome he was! He spent over 2 hours with us, made us feel so comfortable and he had us laughing the entire time! He's so easy to work with. We're even considering doing a "trash the dress" session with him for after the wedding because we loved how everything came out so far.
Just felt like sharing my amazing experience from my engagement shoot I had back in October with Lighthouse Wedding Photography ! Florio is so nice and talented I can’t wait till our big day !
