Amazing Photographer

Dennis is just an amazing person to work with. He is so down to earth and easy to work with and no matter when I had a question or a concern he was just one text away no matter what. Not only does he have a wonderful personality to work with, but his photography is also just breathe taking. He comes up with the best poses to make your pictures just as unique as our personalities. I would 100% recommend him to any bride or groom looking for the best photographer.

One stop shop with amazing results!

We were nervous about planning an out of state wedding, but working with Lighthouse for our Delaware wedding made everything a breeze! They provided full photography services and were also able to officiate our ceremony, and their prices were so, so affordable! They were very knowledgeable about the process of obtaining a wedding license and walked us through step by step, making everything a breeze. Then, the pictures were absolutely gorgeous! I would highly recommend lighthouse to any Delaware brides looking for vendors.

I initially met Pastor Gary in a professional setting over 10 years ago. Gary and his teammate Teresa were a perfect fit for our wedding. It was so much more of an experience than "hiring an officiant." They both worked with us to choose our programs, readings, the direction we wanted the ceremony to take, and many other useful tid bits of information such as getting marriage license and taking care of all the paperwork for us. While I personally wanted the ceremony at our reception venue, my wife really wanted a church wedding and we didn't have a church. Gary took care of that for us as well. We were very thankful for all the help. Throughout the process, we honestly felt more like we were dealing with a friend than just a vendor and that was very important to us. Teresa was so helpful too in many ways from helping us guys make sure we looked our best to even making sure our corsages were on our jackets properly! Post wedding, we received many compliments about Gary's personality and the natural beauty of the church he recommended. Great experience from start to finish. Thank you both!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
