A dream come true.
Looking at these images, I again find myself speechless, overwhelmed, recounting what all of us workshoppers there would fondly call ‘The Jose Villa Experience’. In all its myriad of details and entirety, it is deservedly called so, and for me, has been truly one of the best experiences of my life.
I can only express my immense gratitude through these photos and the inspiration behind it. Thank you Jose Villa, and your dream team of wedding industry leaders who have ingeniously, lovingly crafted this amazing, life changing workshop. It’s been truly awesome meeting you all who have been such wonderful inspiration on my journey in photography and self-discovery. And what an incredible privilege it was learning from the best in the world.
But above all the boundless beauty and glamour that you all effortless create through and through, I will always be reminded of your unforgettable enthusiasm, warmth, sincerity, and humility.
