Reviews of Lighting Professors

Thanks Lighting Professors!

Lighting Professors, especially Jennifer, were great to work with! They provided us multiple quotes until we made our final decision and were the first vendor in and out on our special day. They were very responsive and easy to work with, and they executed their role just as their name suggests - like professionals. I would recommend them to anyone looking for superior lighting for their event.

Great experience

The Lighting Professors did an amazing job lighting my wedding. The lighting was beautiful. They were also very responsive, writing back to my emails almost immediately. I highly recommend this company.

Really enhanced our reception!

Lighting was not something I considered when I started to plan my wedding, but then my photographer recommended looking into it and I saw it mentioned on a lot of wedding blogs. I was skeptical at first (as was my mom) but reached out to Lighting Professors anyway. We went to meet with them and our opinion changed (I think my mom was even more into it than I was after that meeting!) They were extremely professional and knowledgable, and also very flexible with adding services after I initially hired them. My reception was at the Jefferson hotel. Of course, there is lighting already there so it would not have been the end of the world not to have a lighting vendor, but I have to say the uplighting, which changed throughout first dances, dinner, speeches, really enhanced the room (and our pictures!) They worked seamlessly - I didn't even know they were there (other than seeing the change in lighting of course) If you're getting lighting for your wedding day, I could not recommend Lighting Professors enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Jake with Lighting Professors is Amazing!! I have worked alongside him for weddings that used various degrees of lighting design, pin spotting and up lighting to name a few and it just transforms a room entirely. In fact, it is critical to setting the scene, creating the ambiance for guests and the difference it makes in your photography and videography coverage is astounding. I have seen the same venue on a Friday with lighting and returned for a second wedding on Saturday without lighting and the difference is dramatic. Aside from the visual impact of his designs, Jake is one of the easiest people to work alongside. He's passionate about his art, his couples and helping them achieve their wedding vision. I am always ecstatic to hear we are working together!

Jake creates such a wonderful backdrop and mood to any venue he lights. His creative use of lighting and mood add so much more layers to my photographs and I wish he were at all of my events!
