A+ Jose Villa- PPA Super Monday

I came across Jose Villa's work many years ago and I fell in love with them at first sight. I am so happy to see that he is featured in PDN magazine this month because he is the most talented photographer that I know of. He "knows" photography and his work is just simply beautiful. So when I saw his name on PPA Super Monday , I told everyone about it. It was so much fun driving up with Marie & Rowena and we spent awesome day in Solvang, CA with Jose Villa. He delivered A+ workshop. I believe that photographer's heart and soul translates into his work. Let me just say that the man behind his beautiful work is also as beautiful in person.

I tried little bit of Jose Villa + Me on these images.

Simply beautiful bouquets were provided by Renae's Bouquet

Stunning Make-Up and hair service was provided by Mar from T.E.A.M make-up & hair. I wish I knew Mar when I got married. Her style is so elegant. I just love her! I am thinking of an excuse to get Mar to stylize me. Super fun and beautiful Lacie was wearing dress by Jenny Lee collection. I am happy when I capture true spirit and personality of a person I photograph. There were other gorgeous shots of her, but I think this image is my favorite of Lacie. Hope you like it as much as I do Lacie! Shelbie and Gerado was our couple of the day. Sweet Shelbie was wearing this elegant dress by Melissa Sweet. Shelbie, I hope you enjoyed your modeling debut. Thank you for being so accommodating and patient with us.
There is a big advantage of having talented photographer as a friend. They know how to capture you more beautiful than you really are! I love this picture of me, Marie shot. Can't you just feel how happy I was that day? Thank you Marie!
