About

Photographer and artist Gillian Foster focuses on capturing bright, artistic and candid images. She discovered her passion for photography when she developed her first photograph in the darkroom at the University of Guelph in 2006. During her first three years as a photographer, she shot entirely on film because she loved the process of printing her own images. Specializing in contemporary and photojournalistic styles of photography, she completed her BA in Studio Art and now shoots weddings and lifestyle sessions digitally. Her work has been featured on The Wedding Co, Huffington Post, Magnet Street Blog and more.

THE Best Wedding Photographer

Gillian exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding day! She was communicative during the months leading up to the wedding, her online customer portal is very user friendly, and she even sent us a small gift package (even though we live in a different country) to help get us excited. But where Gillian really shined was on our wedding day - wow, we can't say enough good things! She and her second photographer were professional and made sure we kept to our schedule, but they were disarming, friendly, and so personable at the same time. The photos are stunning and we love her more candid/documentary style. We can't decide which photos we want framed on our wall! I wish we had more life events coming up so we could hire Gillian again.

Absolutely Amazing!

We got married in October 2022 and Gillian was simply amazing! From the beginning of the day to the last hour with her, Gillian was professional, friendly and engaging! From laughter to catwalks she kept us entertained and our photos are proof that we were comfortable with her! She took little to no time to provide us with some samples of our photos and we are already sooooooo impressed!

To date, our guests still speak of how nice she was and they loved her! She captured the candid moments :)

She is worth every single dollar. She goes above and beyond and we can confirm, her work/product is exactly what you'll want! The photos are just spectacular!

I've never felt more comfortable

Gillian was by far the best experience of my wedding. She was able to make my husband and I feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera for both our legal ceremony in 2020, and our wedding 2.0 in 2021, and the photos were amazing!

Beautiful photographer, beautiful person

Gillian is a creative and innovative photographer who listens to what her couples want and also offers great advice - from engagement photo locations to capturing beautiful images of our wedding day. She is calm, thoughtful, easy going, and so much fun to hang out with!

I cannot recommend Gillian enough!

This review is a long time coming (sorry Gillian!). Gillian shot our wedding last July and I cannot think of a single thing I would have changed - she herself was lovely and fun, and the photos she captured of our day were stunning. She captured the feeling of the day and just as we wanted, got some amazing natural photos of friends and family smiling, laughing, dancing. She knew that I wasn't a huge fan of the "portrait" type shots and so worked with me to move those big family shots along quickly, for which I am eternally grateful. She even helped us to stay on track time-wise. The "sneak peak" photos came quickly - we were on our honeymoon! - and she was communicative throughout the whole process. A year after the wedding, I still often go back and look through our album and smile.

10/10 - go with Gillian!

Natural Genuine Light Filled Photos

Gillian is great, she was very easy to work with. She gave us some tips in terms of our day of timeline and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. On the wedding day, Gillian was flexible and very accomodating with our guests, taking as many group pictures they desired. She also snuck in a few surprise detail pictures that we were so happy with. Our pictures came back super quick and we were so pleased with the results, everyone who has seen them has raved about them, and how natural and genuine they look. If you are looking for a photographer who cares about your day and making it special whichever way they can, Gillian is the person for you. She will keep you relaxed and will make sure that any poses you think are awkward will turn out amazing.

Could not have asked for a better photographer!

From the first day we met Gillian, we knew she would be the perfect photographer for us. We wanted someone who could capture elegant, candid moments and make us feel comfortable and natural throughout the whole process, and she did just that. We also love how organized Gillian is (coming from two people who are pretty organized ourselves this is saying a lot), and that she has a quick turnaround time on her photos. We were delighted with our engagement photos taken last October, and the recent sneak peak of our wedding photos have left us eagerly anticipating the full album!

July 1st, 2018 wedding

We hired Gillian to capture our wedding and she has surpassed anything we hoped for. We have yet to see the entire collection but from the sneak peak the photos are truly beautiful! I would highly recommend Gillian to anyone looking for a photographer for important life events! Gillian was able to take candid shots that really captured the essence of the the people she photographed. She was helpful right from the first meeting. She was open to our ideas yet she knew how to make the most of the scenery and lighting and has given us gorgeous pictures! Gillian kept everyone relaxed and at ease and worked extremely hard throughout the afternoon and evening to capture all the important parts of our wedding. Her passion for her work, artistic flair and knowledge of her craft are extremely evident in the final product!

Picture Perfect

Gillian, where do we begin. She captured our wedding day perfectly, my husband was not one to be keen on having lots of 'traditional' photos taken. We requested that she get lots of photos of the event and people enjoying themselves. Which is did- captured every detail- She also got photos that in years to come we will cherish, first look, family photos etc.
Thank you again Gillian, we would recommend you to anyone looking for a photographer :)

My husband and I cannot say enough about Gillian Foster Photography. Not only is she professional but she makes even the very timid comfortable in front of the camera. Our photos are beautiful and breathtaking. We cannot wait to share them with our family and friends. She is accommodating, answers any and all questions that couples may have. We love Gillian Foster Photography.
