About Jose Villa

profile2

Jose Villa – People often ask me how I developed my style, and how I create images that stand out in today’s highly competitive wedding market. Well, I am a Fine Art Wedding photographer. My approach applies fine art photography to the living, breathing, fast-moving phenomenon that is a wedding. For me, it is all about making something beautiful, even if I have to insert myself into the situation . Ultimately, my goal is to craft vibrant, energetic, fine art images that are as unique as the people in the photographs. Im humbled to say that I have been published in Many Magazines around the world, including Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, Elegant Bride, Instyle Weddings, Inside Weddings, Brides Magazine, Modern Bride, Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides, Pacific Weddings, Southern Weddings, and many more around the world.

American Photo Magazine named Villa 1 of the top 10 wedding photographers in the world. Sponsors include, Fuji Film, Cypress Albums, Richard Photo Lab, and Triple Scoop Music.

It may be a while until that all happens (and I mean it, a long time), but We adore your work, no other wedding photographer, or just photographer to be honest, tops you. It's all so gorgeous.
