Testimonials

Rebecca not only has an impeccable eye for the beauty of food and people but she’s also incredibly resourceful, adaptable, creative and a wonderful presence on set.

Senior Vice President, Force Four Entertainment, Toronto

Rebecca takes stills photography to a whole other level. She worked for us as a stills photographer on the set of Chuck and Danny’s Road Trip for The Food Network Canada, in BC, and her work was so outstanding we had to fly her out to do PEI and New Brunswick in the summer of 2016. Her food photography is gorgeous. She also was able to capture the spirit of our two hosts, the scenic images and the behind the scenes images, giving them a professional, stylized, yet authentic look. Rebecca is a professional, a pleasure to work with, and she adapted well to the requirements of on set shooting. I highly recommend her.

Rebecca is professional, organized and a straight-forward communicator. She cooked, styled and photographed almost every recipe for Outlander Kitchen on her own. Her independence and competence across the spectrum made it a no-brainer for me to hand over control of the photos, and the resulting time and mental space that granted me was invaluable. She delivered her portion of the project ahead of schedule, to the delight and tremendous satisfaction of myself, as well as the publisher, the Penguin Random House Group in New York. I cannot imagine employing another photographer for any of my future projects.

Our company represents consumer packaged goods brands across all classes of trade in the Canadian marketplace. One of our brands was under a very tight timeline to produce a completely refreshed package for a very large multinational grocery retailer. The photos came out beautifully and were back to us in an impossibly short 24 hour window. Rebecca is a true professional with an artistic eye.

Steve Biggs

National Director, Natural Channel

We first called upon Rebecca when we needed some “lifestyle” shots of the Resort. I had seen some of her work, and really liked her eye, the set up and composition of her shots. They were fresh and lively, not “catalogue”. She really captured the fun and excitement of our Resort which is so key in our marketing. We have since used her skills many times – she is a master at food and our chef loves the detail and her appreciation for displaying the dish just right. With such a versatile business we really need a versatile photographer and we are always excited to see how Rebecca has captured us!

Marketing Manager, The Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort and Spa

It was such a pleasure working with Rebecca. We had so much fun at the photo shoot. She is so very lovely, professional, creative and focused. The pictures turned out incredible! We felt she really captured the heart and soul of our project! Would recommend her in a heartbeat!!

Anna Gard

Master of Awesomeness, Part and Parcel Restaurant

I have admired Rebecca’s work for some time. When we embarked on the launch of our new oceanfront restaurant, Marina Dockside Eatery, I knew Rebecca was the one to call. Rebecca has a way of capturing food in a simple, comforting and rustic way. Working with Rebecca was efficient, fun and productive. Our shoot took less than two hours and we had all the images we needed just 48 hours later. I would love to work with Rebecca again and I wish her much success.

Rebecca knows food and she knows people. She’s a great photographer with excellent instincts about what will work. Not a day goes by that someone doesn’t comment on her great photos. Trust her. You won’t be disappointed.

Owner, Preservation Foods

As the editor of EAT Magazine I have known and worked with photographer Rebecca Wellman for ten years. I find her to be totally professional in approach and her photography always achieves a very high standard of excellence. As a regular contributor to EAT Ms. Wellman is in charge of the scheduling, organizing, photographing and processing of each assignment. The range of subjects varies from food images to portraiture and features chefs, restaurants, farms and food and wine products. She completed a special assignment by photographing all the wineries on Vancouver Island for EAT’s book Island Wineries of British Columbia.

Rebecca’s photographs are technically perfect and her creativity is exceptional. Her assignments have always been completed and submitted on time and by deadline.

Gary Hynes

Editor, EAT Magazine

Rebecca shot our winter wedding and engagement photos and my husband and I could not be more thrilled with the final products. At the engagement shoot and on our big day, Rebecca put us at ease and gave us plenty of pointers on how to take the best possible pictures. She has a creative eye for identifying beautiful and unique shots, rather than cookie-cutter “wedding portraits.” Her skill in capturing the best possible light made for some particularly stunning photos. I would recommend Rebecca for any photography project, given her level of professionalism, detailed client service and multi-faceted photography talent.

I have used Rebecca Wellman for several commercial photo shoots, and I have been thrilled with the results.  Rebecca’s pictures are not only exactly what I needed for commercial usage, such as print advertising, but they are also truly beautiful images.  Rebecca’s photography was at the heart of many successful print, digital and social media campaigns we ran.

Her ability to capture a mood, a look, or an emotion from subjects who are not professional models, including children, is impressive.  And I have never seen food so gorgeously portrayed!  I also valued Rebecca’s ability to not only translate my often complex vision into imagery, but also her ability to bring her own vision to a photo shoot when we weren’t sure exactly what direction to take.  She always found some unique angle, look or highlight, even in some very tough outdoor conditions.
