Weddings & Elopements
I’m so happy you’re here, and I can’t wait to hear your love story. There is something so magical about two people choosing each other for forever, and it’s the greatest honor to be invited into that chapter of your lives.
Your wedding day will be filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments. The quiet anticipation while getting ready. The way your partner looks at you as you walk down the aisle. The laughter, the happy tears, and the joy that surrounds you. My job is to capture every bit of it so that years from now, you can feel it all over again.
On this page, you’ll find an inside look at my process, how to book your wedding with me, and answers to questions you might have along the way. Take your time, dream big, and when you are ready, reach out. I’m here to support you, celebrate you, and create images that tell your story exactly as it feels.
Hi! Hello! My name is Amy Villanueva
I’m Christ-led, a lover of color, a lover of love, and someone who values all the little things in life. I believe in staying calm and soaking in every single moment, especially on your wedding day. My heart is to capture your love story in a way that feels joyful, genuine, and true to you.
On your wedding day, I want you to feel completely present, knowing that I am there to preserve every glance, every laugh, and every little detail you have poured your heart into. Brides, we will be besties before your wedding day even comes! My goal is for your photos to not only reflect the beauty of your day, but the emotions and memories that make it yours.
Your story. captured by me. told by you.

The Process
1.fill out the inquiry form
Once you’ve looked through all the information, fill out the wedding inquiry form to let me know you’re interested in having me capture your day. You’ll pop in your contact details and answer a few quick questions about your wedding so I can start picturing your vision. I promise it won’t take long — I know wedding planning is already a full-time job, and this definitely isn’t another hour-long form.
Within 72 hours, I’ll be in touch so we can connect! We can chat on the phone, meet for coffee, or hop on Zoom — totally up to you. This is where we get to dream together, talk through all the exciting details, and start building the kind of connection that makes your wedding photos feel genuine, effortless, and full of love.
2.Let's chat & Get you booked
We’ll choose a time to connect in the way that feels most natural for you and your love — whether that’s sharing coffee together (my treat!), chatting over the phone, or meeting face-to-face on Zoom. This is where we dream together. We’ll talk about the heart of your day, the moments you can’t wait to relive, and all the little details that make your love story uniquely yours.
After our conversation, we can begin the booking process. If you need a little time to soak it all in and weigh your options, I completely understand. But I always encourage booking as soon as you’re ready, so your date is safe and yours alone. If another couple inquires, meets with me, and officially books first, that date will be theirs.
When the time comes, I’ll send over a contract to sign and an invoice for the retainer. Once those two steps are complete, your wedding day is officially on my calendar. And when I see your names come through, you can trust I’ll be smiling the biggest smile and doing a happy dance — because it means I get to be the one to preserve the magic of your forever.
3.Consultations & timeline planning / Pay your final invoice
As your wedding day draws closer, we’ll schedule another call to make sure every detail is beautifully in place. Together, we’ll create a thoughtful shot list and ensure we’re completely on the same page. If you need help with anything — from timeline planning to small, last-minute details — I’ll be right there to guide you. My goal is for you to feel calm, confident, and cared for as your day approaches.
Once we’ve finalized everything, you can take a deep breath and truly relax, knowing I’ve taken note of it all. About one to two months before your wedding, I’ll send the final invoice for the remaining balance after your deposit. The total is due two weeks before your big day, but if you’d like to take care of it earlier, that’s absolutely fine — just let me know so I can make arrangements.
4. the big day! & Gallery Delivery
The day is here! Woo hoo! I am absolutely overjoyed and so honored to be part of your wedding day. I’ll arrive early and ready, with your timeline in hand to ensure everything flows smoothly and beautifully.
Before I even step into your venue, I will take a quiet moment to pray over your day, asking Jesus to guide me in capturing every moment exactly the way you have dreamed, and to give me wisdom, patience, and a peaceful spirit so your day feels calm and full of joy.
We will spend the entire day together, and I will be right there to help with anything last-minute. Whether it’s fixing a veil, wrangling family for photos, or just giving you a moment to breathe, I’ve got you. I’ll cheer you on as you leave the venue and head off toward your honeymoon, hearts full and smiles wide.
Once the day is over, you can relax knowing I’ll have sneak peeks ready for you and your honey to view within 48 to 72 hours. Enjoy newlywed life, soak in every beautiful moment together, and your personalized gallery containing everything from your wedding day will be ready within 6 to 8 weeks.
