LUSTRE Photography is a wedding photographer based in London, Ontario. Samantha Gurrey is passionate about capturing the details that make each couple’s wedding day special.

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!!!

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!!

Amazing experience!

Sam was absolutely amazing to work with and we are so thrilled with our wedding photos! We are not picture people, so being photographed all day could have been very uncomfortable, but Sam is so laid back and she put my (now) husband and I at complete ease. She was also incredibly accommodating, helpful, and responsive throughout the wedding planning process and answered all of my questions. We are so glad we picked Lustre Photography and would highly recommend her to other couples!

Spectacular

The husband and wife team of Sam and Phil were incredible. They were so laid back, flexible and accommodating to our every need. Our products arrived earlier than expected. On the day of the wedding they were exactly where they needed to be at all times. They worked so hard and even gave us a little extra time to make sure they could capture everything (shh!) . We never had to worry about them which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. We love their photo editing and the highlight video they produced was a fantastic way to showcase our day to our family and friends who could not attend. We highly recommend you use Lustre Photography!

Thank you so much Sam and Phil!

Memories I will be proud to share in years to come

Samantha and her team at Lustre Video & Photogrpahy are amazing. They were not only extremley talented, but great to work with- we were laughing every step of the way. Samantha and her team captured our day perfectly, I wanted more of a candid feel- and I couldn't be happier with the photos and videography! We recieved our video, photos and sneak peaks all within the timeline as promised, and they both definitly caputred the feeling of our day. 15/10 would recommend, it was everything i wanted and more!

Reliable, friendly and amazing quality!

One of the first things I did when planning my wedding was book Sam at Lustre to video our special day. I had already seen her incredible work on my social media and just loved how she captures every special moment. The quality of the video is outstanding, everyone commented on how spectacular it was to watch. Sam is a perfectionist and the final edits - just waow! I met with Sam before our wedding to go over the events of the day. I just knew she would be great with my family and friends. Sam is super friendly and to be honest it was like she wasn't even there. I was worried about the camera always being in our faces and making our guests feel uncomfortable. That did not happen at all as she was always present but in the background, allowing us to enjoy our day. Sam, from the bottom of my heart - thank you! My wedding video is something that I will treasure forever :)

Our most beautiful memories captured!!

My husband and I were blown away by Samantha as she juggled both the wedding photography and videography, masterfully! From morning to night, her steady professionalism and positive attitude made everyone feel so relaxed behind the camera—our guests loved her too!! Family photos were especially important to us and not only did she perfectly capture every grouping that we requested, but she was so efficient that we ended 20 minutes ahead of schedule! Samantha is a true artist, so lovely to work with, and has an astonishing talent of capturing wedding magic ✨
