"She had a sixth sense for capturing the moments that truly mattered."
Villa's attention to detail was unparalleled. She captured every precious moment, from the grand gestures to the subtle glances, with an artist's eye. Even when I started to feel a little tired of posing for pictures, Villa's gentle encouragement and keen sense of what I'd cherish later kept us going. She knew exactly which shots were essential, and I'm so grateful she did! She had a sixth sense for capturing the moments that truly mattered.

"Villa imbued every photo with intimacy and elegance."
She's a complete professional from start to finish, and soooo talented! Her photos were perfectly composed and utterly romantic. Everyone and everything looked absolutely gorgeous, especially in those small moments where Villa found the perfect light, angle, gesture, or expression that captured the emotions of the day. We had a big wedding party in a large venue, and from the early afternoon of preparations until the late evening of dancing, Villa imbued every photo with intimacy and elegance. We're so impressed with her work that we've had her photograph other events and head shots for us, too. She can do it all!

"My husband and I are very camera-shy, but Villa helped us feel relax"
Villa is a very detail-oriented photographer and it has been amazing to work with her on our special day. My husband and I are very camera-shy, but Villa helped us feel relax, and she got the best angles and the most important moments you will want to look back in the future. We 100% recommend working with Villa!

"She made the entire process very easy"
Villa did an excellent job in capturing beautiful and candid photos throughout our wedding day. She required hardly any direction and knew exactly what to do given the setting, timeline, and weather to give us the best pictures we could have hoped for. She made the entire process very easy.
