Services Offered

LUSTRE Photography prioritizes capturing natural, real and candid moments of the day. They shoot in a natural/less staged way. We love to capture candid photos, and try not to have their couples 'over pose'. This approach is a lot more relaxed and captures the natural atmosphere of the day. It is also great for anyone who is a bit nervous in front of the camera.

Currently, Samantha is only taking bookings between May-August of each calander year.

AMAZING all around

We cannot say enough good things about Lustre Photography!!!! The photos were incredible!! So many great posed shots and so many fun candids. Amazing shots in low light and in super bright harsh light. They were creative and fun and captured every moment of our day perfectly!!! Plus 18 sneak peaks in two days and our whole (12 hour!!!) album back to us in just over TWO weeks!!

Your wedding day is stressful and you should pick vendors who you vibe with especially when it comes to your photographer as they are who you spend your whole wedding with. Sam and Phil are absolute sweethearts!! They're so down to earth and funny and exactly the type of people you want to spend your special day with!! Our day would not have gone as well is it did without them. We 100% recommend them for your big day!!!

Obsessed with our photos

We feel so grateful that Sam (and Phil!) shot our engagement and wedding photos. We fell in love with Sam's aesthetic and her more candid approach to her photos. She was super responsive, very receptive if we wanted anything changed, and made the lead up to wedding day very smooth. We had multiple guests tell us how great Sam was with mingling with guests but also jumping in to help with things she didn't have to make sure our day went as perfectly as possible. Thank you again so much Sam for your professionalism but also just being a great human being! I can't find the right words to describe just how much we love our photos!

Nigerian Engagement and Winter Wedding!

Samantha is a passionate and professional photographer with an energy that lights up the room. We felt very comfortable with her taking photos of an interracial couple and the photos came out great. Thanks Samantha!!

Amazing experience with Lustre!

Sam and Phil were just amazing to work with! When I was looking for a wedding photographer, I was not sure if I would be able to prioritize videography as well due to the cost; however, when I found Lustre, I was ecstatic. Not only did we love her photography style and edits, we had the option of having a "Creative Momento" style video of the highlights of our day. It was extremely affordable to have both, especially for the length of time that we were able to hire them for!
Sam was so great at giving suggestions for poses for my husband and myself, as well as capturing beautiful candid photos. She had us make a list of all the family members we wanted pictures with, and had great recommendations for how to make things run smoothly! All the while, Phil was capturing video footage of everything as it happened around us, which is exactly what we wanted. Our families kept telling us how awesome Lustre was, how genuine, friendly and easy-going they both were, and how beautiful the pictures and video are! We really felt comfortable with Sam and Phil, and are so happy that we found them to capture out wedding day! We could not recommend them enough!!

100% Recommend

HIGHLY recommend! Samantha is amazing! She's such a down to earth, flexible, easy going, fun person to work with. We did our engagement shoot with her and she made us feel comfortable and was very knowledgeable about how we should pose. Our wedding pictures only took 3 weeks to get back and they are all beautiful. She made our wedding day stress free and it's obvious she knows and loves what she's doing.

Wonderful Experience!

Sam did an amazing job as our wedding photographer! She is very organized and ensured the entire process went smoothly from beginning to end. Her approach put my husband and I completely at ease (especially as we're not used to being photographed) and we had a lot of fun - Sam was also great with our friends and family, including the little ones. The photographs themselves are stunning and we could not be happier with the result! She also captured some amazing candid moments throughout the entire day. I would gladly recommend Sam's services to a friend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
