"I have always been an artistic person with a deep love for technology, which is why photography felt like a natural fit for me. While I've always felt comfortable in front of the camera, there's an indescribable joy in being behind it. Empowering others through photography has become the most rewarding aspect of my journey.
Over the past few years, I've had the incredible opportunity to found and build Of Wild & Wander. During this time, I discovered a profound passion for editing. Handpicking and curating each photo feels like pure magic to me. I often say that "editing is half the job," and I truly believe that. Through editing, I can ensure that every image reflects the authentic emotions and essence of the moment captured.

"Photography has always held a special place in my heart. At the age of 18, I received my first DSLR camera, and from that moment on, it became my loyal companion, accompanying me on my adventures around the world.
Becoming a photographer was a rather spontaneous decision, and neither I nor anyone else saw it coming. However, looking back, I can confidently say that I am incredibly grateful it did. Becoming a professional photographer has been an incredibly fulfilling and rewarding journey. The ability to capture and preserve moments of joy, love, and beauty for others brings me immense joy. I am genuinely thankful for the unexpected path that led me to this passionate pursuit.
With every click of my camera, I am reminded of how fortunate I am to have found my calling in the world of photography."

"From my early years, the arts have been an integral part of who I am. The crafty one in the family, I always found joy in expressing myself through creative endeavours. Then, in 2015, I randomly picked up my mom's camera and fell in love with photography.
The best part is how it instantly boosts someone's confidence during a shoot. I enjoy capturing their glowing faces and telling their unique love stories through my photos. It's why I decided to focus on documenting love stories - a special privilege to witness and preserve love in its purest form. Photography is more than a career; it's my way of celebrating life and creating cherished memories."

"To me, it's not just a passion for photography, but a passion for walking through life with a camera in hand. There are moments when an uncontrollable desire arises to savour and etch every last detail that surrounds me, and I embrace that urge wholeheartedly. Photography becomes my medium to capture and preserve these precious moments.
The ability to freeze tender daylight like capturing a firefly in a bottle is a gift I cherish. Not everyone holds this power, and I feel compelled to share it with others. Through photography, I can offer a glimpse into the beauty and wonder that surrounds us, preserving memories that will be treasured for a lifetime."
Becca
photographer
"My love for photography began when I was about 2 years old. My parents handed me their camera, and I took my first-ever photos of my granny's garden. From there, I continued to play around with occasional picture-taking. In my early teens, I was given my first-ever DSLR camera, and that's when my passion for photography truly took off.
One of my favourite things about photography is the opportunity to learn every single day. In 2019, I decided to turn my passion into a career and attended the photography program at Algonquin College. Since then, I've been working full-time on my photography career, and I couldn't be happier!"

"I was raised in a household where my dad was constantly wielding a camera. When I turned 18, I took the plunge and invested in my first DSLR. Just two years later, I found myself behind the lens capturing the magic of my first wedding for a dear friend. From that pivotal moment, weddings became more than just events to me – they became a passion that consumed my every waking moment.
I embarked on a journey of self-teaching the intricate art of wedding photography, relying on a mix of trial and error and a plethora of YouTube tutorials. Since that transformative day, my life's purpose has centered around evolving into the best photographer I can be. My commitment is not only to master the craft but also to wholeheartedly serve my couples, ensuring that each photograph I create is an authentic and cherished piece of their love story."
