Wedding photographer based in northern va
serving the DMV and worldwide.ESTD. 2016
I'm a visual enthusiast with a degree in Arts Management. My passion for photography was ignited as I immersed myself in a niche magazine showcasing a diverse array of photographers, and imagining myself being one of them.
My style mixes the photojournalism with a touch of editorial flair. In each wedding, my aim is to craft something different and unique, capturing a set of storytelling moments that reflect the essence of the day.
What truly drives me is the moment when my clients receive the picture, and tell me how they love them. Witnessing the beauty of couples starting their own families is a heartwarming experience for me.

Inspiration?
When people ask me where I draw my inspiration from, I like to quote from a book: "It might be helpful to think of inspiration as a cloud. Clouds never truly disappear; they change form. My experiences over the years and my constant curiosity for new ideas have shaped who I am and influenced my work."
"Our experience with Villa has been nothing short of magical!"
Our experience with Villa has been nothing short of magical! From the moment my fiancee and I met her, her warmth and positivity could be felt; and it instantly made us feel at ease. Her energy is truly infectious and added so much joy to our engagement shoot.
Not only is she a joy to be around, but her talent behind the lens is unmatched. Every shot she captured turned out beautifully.
I couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Villa!

"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!

"Efficient, patient and has a great aesthetic taste"
Villa is efficient, patient and most importantly, has a great aesthetic taste. The photos are exactly the feelings and style I was envisioning. Before & during the wedding, she went through my notes and shot list, spent 8+ hours at the venue capturing everything from jewelry & accessories, candid moments with family & friends, to all the key events like the first look, ceremony & first dance. Thanks to Villa, we will be able to cherish these special memories forever.

"Villa imbued every photo with intimacy and elegance"
We hired Villa as the photographer for our wedding, and she was absolutely wonderful. 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!
