Jose Villa Mexico Workshop / Inspired Wedding Photography
This,a utopian backdrop rooted in old world nostalgia. Hacienda el Carmen, located in Ahualulco de Mercado, Mexico… a region of valleys, surrounded by a cane plantation of agave, a stunning panoramic view to the volcanoes of Tequila and Ameca. Idyllic comes to mind… a place to relax, coexist with nature and rest from everyday life. And this, the location of Jose Villa’s most inspiring photography workshops. TEAM celebrated with Jose Villa Workshops at its 10 year anniversary in November (Mar has had the honor of styling hair and makeup for each of these workshops over the course of the past decade).
Now, from his own lens (and appearing in the upcoming issue of Geraldine)…have a look at how beautifully José has been inspiring a new generation of film wedding photographers from around the world…
Spellbound sounds about right. Wouldn’t you agree?

A Couple’s Romantic Getaway Turned Wedding Destination in Santa Barbara, California
Santa Barbara, California has long been a destination hotspot for all things weddings. We should know… TEAM is headquartered here; having styled a myriad of bridal parties in this magical town nestled between the sunglint ocean and the majestic mountains. So we get that Heather + Peter, with a history of traveling to this neck of the woods for getaways, chose to also make it part of their wedding day story.
From the photographer, as featured on Style Me Pretty…
It didn’t take long after Heather and Peter met to fall in love… They knew they wanted to get married in Santa Barbara (one of their favorite getaway spots) which would also be a wonderful holiday destination for their families traveling from New York and the Mid-West in the late fall. They had originally thought about a vineyard wedding but the moment they walked into El Encanto, they knew it was the place for them. It was the perfect balance of romance and elegance that they wanted for their wedding day.
…that ocean view! Sigh.

A Modern Gilded San Francisco Wedding
Modern. Classic. Magical. Gilded in gold. Call it what you will (because all of this is true). But have you seen how darling this couple is? The sweetest love birds with expressively free-flowing happiness…wouldn’t you agree? Another beautifully captured wedding, photographed by Jose Villa, featured on Style Me Pretty. And with San Francisco as the backdrop to their James Leary Flood Mansion venue, well ok then… Modern, Classic, Magical, and Gilded it is.
And naturally, we’re loving this shout-out from the stunning bride,
“Mar from Team Hair & Make-up is seriously one of my favorite persons…ever! If you ever get the chance to work with her she is amazing and will make you laugh tons!”
Day made.

The Moody Elegance of a Romantic Rainy Day Wedding
We all know how exceptionally romantic rainfall can be. We watch as star crossed lovers dance, sing (and ultimately kiss) along the cobblestone streets of Paris in old movies. Couples huddle close under umbrellas. Skip over puddles. Get drenched in the rain. It’s all in good fun, of course; the sentiments of poets and seers have long believed Spring showers are luck charms. They cleanse and refresh for new beginnings. So you can imagine the drizzling enchantment of this floral and candlelight infused Carpinteria, California wedding.
This take from event designer TOAST Santa Barbara… They say it’s good luck to have rain on your wedding day, so when you live in California where there’s a never-ending drought, it must mean something extra special to get that day full of drizzle! Stephanie and Kevin wanted a day that would feel unique to them and their style as a couple and to create a warm and fun atmosphere for their guests. They decided the incredibly beautiful Villa Sevillano would be the perfect place to host their friends and family. With its lush gardens and Italian architecture, it set the tone for an elegant and intimate weekend.
Sweet, isn’t it?
