Dazzling Wedding Photography by Jose Villa
Jose Villa is a Fine Art Wedding Photographer. His approach applies Fine Art Photography to the living, breathing, fast-moving phenomenon that is a wedding. He also does some documentary photography, as one needs to capture the important moments at a wedding, however, he also composes and directs. For him, it is all about making something beautiful, even if he has to insert himself into the situation. His ultimate goal is to craft vibrant, energetic, fine art images that are as unique as the people in his photographs.Jose has a very natural style to shooting a wedding, his images are usually bright and vibrant, with the details still in tact and revealed. His wedding portraits offer his client, a product which is both intuitive but stylish and very glamorous… He photographs his brides-pair in in front of a clean background, or usually uncluttered background with a shallow depth-of-field, which proves why he is such a great fine art photographer. His compositions and poses are well calculated and directed before taking the shot; he also mainly uses back-light to achieve the “dreamy” look in his photographs.
Jose Villa’s Fine Art Wedding Photography has been featured in many Magazines around the world, including Martha Stewart Weddings, Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, GO Wedding Style New England, Pacific Rim Weddings, Brides, The Knot, Inside Weddings, Instyle Weddings, PDN Wedding Issue, American Photo Wedding Issue, Your Wedding Day, Santa Barbara Magazine, Elegant Bride, 805 Weddings, and was recently named 1 of the top 10 wedding photographers in the World by Photo District New (PDN).

His style has a purity and is quite simplistic even with the horizon off balance and fence cutting through the brides hesd it drew my attention at first but didn’t bother me. I enjoyed looking through his portfolio a true romantic look and feel in his work. Loved the image with the bride I’m the car with raindrops on the window and I also liked how his backgrounds are simplistic and uncluttered. It shows that in any situation grand or not wedding photos can be beautiful no matter where the location is.
