The best decision we made for our wedding!

Working with Villa was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She is just the sweetest, easiest person to work with. She made us feel completely comfortable from the moment she arrived and kept the everything running smoothly and on time. She made sure we got every shot that mattered to us, including some incredible pictures with our camera shy groomsmen.
We got our pictures back during our honeymoon, much earlier than expected! They absolutely blew us away. Everyone told us that they looked like something out of a magazine. She captured beautiful editorial romantic portraits, and all the most important sweet subtle moments throughout the night.
On top of all that, she was very reasonably priced compared to other options we considered. I can’t recommend booking Villa enough

We loved our wedding gallery!!!

Villa is AMAZING!!! We are so glad she is our wedding photographer. From our engagement shoot, we felt so comfortable with her. She has so many ideas to cooach us through. It felt easy and fun!! Leading up to the wedding, she was intentional about the timeline planing so we have time to capture the photos we want. She also brough her only paper collections for detail photos. Villa remained warm, kind and professional. We loved the final wedding gallery on so many levels! You will not regret working with Villa!!!

I highly, highly recommend Villa for your wedding.

Villa was absolutely incredible. Her presence, artistic eye, and professionalism were evident from the moment I first reached out to her through the final delivery of our photos. We opted out of engagement photos as my husband really doesn’t enjoy photo shoots, so our wedding day was actually the first time we met her, and she immediately made us feel completely at ease. She scouted beautiful locations and found the perfect lighting. We had a brunch wedding which poses a challenge for a photographer with harsh morning light, but Villa came prepared and used the soft reflections and cloudy skies to capture truly stunning images. Before the wedding day, Villa was exceptionally communicative and quick to respond to any questions. She helped create a photography timeline that ended up being invaluable, especially since we were working with a tight morning schedule for our 10:45 a.m. church ceremony. Admittedly I didn’t fully consider the early timelines when I first decided on a brunch reception. On the day of, Villa and her second photographer were phenomenal. She maintained a calm, peaceful presence and guided photos with a thoughtful, artistic approach. She arrived early, was fully prepared, and remained discreet throughout the ceremony. Her turnaround time was also incredibly impressive in just five weeks! We were blown away by the gallery and will cherish these photos forever. I highly, highly recommend Villa for your wedding.

Simply stunning!

Simply stunning. After reviewing Villa Li’s past work, we knew she was the perfect photographer to capture our special day. My now-husband and I appreciated how clearly she communicated her photography style, especially since we’re the type of couple who need guidance with posing and creating those “wow” shots. Villa Li had no trouble directing us throughout the entire day and made us feel completely at ease. The sneak peek photos were absolutely gorgeous and only heightened our excitement to receive the full gallery. While her turnaround time was typical for a wedding photographer, we were thrilled to receive our complete set of photos within just a few weeks. We can’t recommend Villa Li enough. Thank you again, Villa Li—11/10!

We could not recommend a better wedding photographer.

Villa is fantastic. We could not recommend a better wedding photographer. I loved that she came early on site to scope out the layout of our venue and think ahead of the types of shots she wanted to take. She helped direct us through poses when we needed guidance and felt awkward. And then she gave us moments to just sink it all in and be us! Giving us some lovely candid photos as well. She navigated the stressful day with grace. And over delivered on the final gallery. Her eye for the way the light catches and editing for a dreamy natural timeless coloring is impeccable. Please, please hire Villa for your special day. I guarantee you will not regret it.

Villa Li Photography

Working with Villa Li Photography for our wedding photos made the day amazing! Wedding photos are something that we knew we only had one chance to get right, and thanks to Villa, we have a beautiful recap of our day. From the moment we engaged with Villa we knew we had the right sense of style and organization that would capture the moment. Villa has an incredible sense of style and ability to focus on the subject and the background for the perfect composition. She has an arsenal of equipment that can be used for any setting to help adjust the light and filters to make everyone look their best! During our festivities, we had multiple venues that we needed to capture and some of those spaces were in residential homes. Villa was able to adapt to each situation and executed the photos to perfection! We love looking at what she captured in the homes that was part of our day. Not only that, but Villa also adapted to outdoor settings and then back inside for the reception venue. We covered all angles with her! Throughout the day she was calming and worked the venues to get the best photos. One of the wonderful things was her ability to get the candid shots of our guests which helped us show what a great day everyone had!
Villa has a great way to share the photos and edits after the festivities. She is prompt and communicative even after the excitement has subsided. We were overjoyed with the final outcome!
Whether you are getting married or need any photography assistance, make sure you speak with Villa to discuss your requirements and how she can deliver them as perfectly as she did for us!
Thank you, Villa!

best customer service I've ever experienced

My husband and I booked VILLA for our wedding and we came away extremely impressed in basically every way. Before the wedding, they had a ton of resources for us to use for planning, and made sure we were set up for success when the big day came. On the wedding day, they stuck to the schedule, captured our important moments, accommodated our requests, and were willing to help in any way they could, even with things that were not their job. After the wedding, they remained patient through all our edit requests, provided some of the best customer service I've ever experienced, and delivered absolutely stunning photos and videos that we can take pride in. They provided excellence from beginning to end, and we would be happy to work with them on any future events. Thanks Villa Li
