VILLARREAL
EVERY LITTLE THING MATTERS
This is a day to celebrate life and love, to be fully present and enjoy every second. Part of my job is to make that happen, to help you feel relaxed, natural, and truly yourselves in front of the camera.
I approach each wedding with sensitivity and intention. For me, it’s not about perfectly posed photos, but about capturing what’s real. The laughter, the nerves, the hugs, the dancing, the in-between moments that tell the full story.Every wedding is a unique flow of energy and emotion. I adapt to what’s unfolding, creating images that feel alive and true to the moment.
Photos are vessels for your feelings, and when you look at your wedding gallery years from now, my hope is that you’ll remember not just how everything looked, but exactly how it felt.
FILM IS NOT DEAD AND
I WORK WITH IT EVERY DAY
I WORK WITH IT EVERY DAY
I am the co-founder of Bengala, a film photography lab and contemporary photography gallery based in Monterrey Mexico and Guadalajara, Jalisco.
My relationship with film is not a trend—it’s the foundation of how I learned to see.
I studied photography through traditional processes: developing, scanning, and printing my own images. Although my practice evolved over time, returning to analog photography a few years ago reshaped my work entirely. It brought me back to a slower, more intentional way of photographing, one that prioritizes presence, intuition, and emotion.
Today I use 35mm film and instant photography (Polaroid) as part of my wedding experience.
There is no preview, no interruption, only the moment as it unfolds. The result is a body of work that feels timeless, tactile, and deeply human. This approach allows your wedding story to be documented honoring not just how it looked, but how it truly felt.

I BELIEVE WITHOUT MEMORIES
WE WOULDN´T BE OURSELVES
PHOTOS ARE PROOF OF OUR MEMORIES AND FEELINGS
