Jose Villa Workshop

Jose Villa is a highly acclaimed and internationally sought after wedding photographer based in Solvang, California. I had the privilege to attend his one week long workshop in Jalisco, Mexico to glean from him and other leaders in the wedding industry such as Lynn Easton of Easton Events and Mindy Rice of Mindy Rice Design. Their kindness and generosity were equally matched by their talent and drive for excellence. This workshop was everything I hoped it would be. I'm so grateful for having had the opportunity to indulge in this creative endeavor with wildly talented and kindred spirits, to discuss the process of honing one's craft, and to celebrate the steady growth of my business. These are some images from our time together.
