Welcome to my new blog! I decided to take the time and figure out blogger (Google's blogging service) to take full advantage of the customization options it offers. I wanted to take control of the whole width of the screen to be able to show you larger images since that's one of the main purposes of this blog. I'd love to hear your feedback and please let me know if you have any issues viewing this blog.

Jose Villa Wedding Photography Workshop

I knew it was going to be a great day with awesome locations to shoot as soon as I got on the CA-154 freeway on my way to Solvang, CA. It was my first time there and I was very surprised by the scenery.

Waking up at 5:30am to make the trip to meet with one of my favorite photographers and a bunch of friends was totally worth it... but of course I knew that in advance. Jose was conducting a 1 day workshop in his hometown and I just had to be there.


René Miranda, Jose Villa, me


The girls taking a break outside the restaurant where the seminar took place




Jose flipping through one of his albus... simple but so powerful... all about the images!


Jose struggling to answer one of Jasmine's awkward questions ;-)

With Jasmine Star



These slideshow includes almost every image I shot with the exception of 2 rolls of film I shot shoulder-to-shoulder with Jose and our Contax 645... I'll show you those as soon as I get back the scans...


Special thanks to Lacie, Shelbie and Gerardo. Thanks to Jose Villa, you're a wonderful host.

All the photos on this post were shot @ Jose Villa's workshop in Solvang, CA. For more info visit: www.josevillaworkshops.com
