A Journey From Cupcakes to Capturing Connections

Becky Wiens is a wedding photographer whose path to the lens was as unique as the moments she captures. Her journey began not in a photography studio but in a kitchen, baking cupcakes to fund her first DSLR camera. This unconventional start highlights Becky’s determination and creativity, which she now pours into every frame.

From Cupcakes to Cameras

Becky's love for photography was kindled early. She received her first film camera as a child and pursued photography through high school and university courses, despite studying business. The turning point came when her best friend's photographer cancelled, and Becky stepped in with her cell phone. This spontaneous act ignited her passion for capturing love and special moments.

To acquire her DSLR, Becky embarked on a baking marathon, crafting 860 gourmet cupcakes to raise the necessary funds. This entrepreneurial spirit is a testament to her dedication. With her new camera and a thirst for knowledge, she delved into in-depth courses with Greg Johnson, expanding her technical skills and setting the stage for her professional career.

A Global Lens

Becky’s photography is now renowned for its authenticity and emotional depth. Specializing in capturing genuine, unguarded moments, she travels extensively, shooting weddings across Canada and around the globe. This year alone, she has taken on 18 weddings, including destination weddings in Europe and upcoming ones in warmer climates.

Her ideal clients are those who value the realness of their wedding day over mere perfection. Becky is drawn to couples who cherish the raw, emotional moments, as opposed to the staged, picture-perfect poses. Her work resonates with clients who appreciate the power of an authentic, heartfelt photograph.

Balancing Act

Navigating a demanding wedding season requires a delicate balance. Becky caps her annual bookings at 25 to ensure she has time to recharge. As an introvert, she values her quiet time, which helps her maintain her creative energy. This conscious effort to balance work and personal life underscores her commitment to both her craft and well-being.

Looking Ahead

Becky’s journey from a baking entrepreneur to an esteemed photographer is a testament to her passion and perseverance. Her work continues to evolve as she captures the essence of love stories around the world. With a focus on genuine connections and heartfelt moments, Becky Wiens is a true artist in her field.
