I've always loved Weddings...everything about them! I remember attending my first Wedding as a little girl...my aunt and uncle's wedding...and I was so enthralled by it! I could tell, even at that small age that it was a day of love and joy and from then on I knew I would someday experience it. As a little girl I didn't spend hours planning or imagining who I would marry or what my wedding day would be like, but I did know that it would be special and perfect...and it was. We've been married now for going on eight years and it's hard to believe! Yes, I was very young when I got married...looking back, I would say too young. However, looking back I also have no regrets because although some great challenges have sprung forth, I have also learned a great deal about myself, about love, about relationships, about trust and forgiveness, passion and romance. I take these as gifts. I can honestly say that I am happy and I truly love my husband with all of my heart! I don't believe that there is one perfect person out there and I believe that any marriage will take work to maintain...just as a bountiful garden takes work. But just like those who grow luscious, fruitful gardens have passion and love for their work, so too do those who have bountiful marriages. It takes dedication, trust, and passion to get through the hard times...but if you get through them, you'll realize how much stronger you are and how much your partner does mean to you (of course not always...I of course I don't support staying in an unhealthy or abusive marriage). I just think many of us are quick to surrender these days and throw up our hands and say "it just didn't work!" and I wonder what those cute elderly couples you see dancing together at weddings would say to this. Can we really fool ourselves into thinking that in their 50+ years of marriage that they didn't ever struggle or have the desire to leave the marriage at one time or another? I think not! Love is the best thing in the world, yet it's probably also the most complicated!
It is my true passion to photograph moments filled with true love in my client's lives. Whether it be a photographing your wedding, Fine Art Maternity Portraits as you wait for the arrival of your little one, your growing family as the years go by, and all of your special moments in between! I love the work I do, and I think that is portrayed in my photography. My hope for everyone would be for them to truly love their job! A huge thanks to all of my clients! YOU are who make it possible for me to live my dream! From this gift you give to me, I give to you images that will be forever cherished by you and your family...and hopefully passed down for generations to come. LOVE IS A WONDERFUL THING!
I was so inspired by this couple's love for each other and warm, open, kind energy! I cannot explain why, but there is something that really touched me about this particular photo session and these images. Thank you Amy and Roberto! You are so beautiful!
Seattle Photographer - Willa Kveta Photography - Pregnancy and Newborn Photography, Wedding Photography, Family Portraiture and more.
Santa Barbara Wedding Photographer Willa Kveta - Wedding Photography and Fine Art Portraits worldwide. Willa has shifted her focus from Fine Art Portraiture to primarily photographing Weddings as she has discovered a newfound passion lies there and more and more clients are requesting her to capture their Wedding Day. This shift happened organically and feels like a natural step for Willa, as she absolutely loves photographing weddings and being able to share in this important day in couples lives. But if you thought Willa had retired her Fine Art Portraiture, think again. You can still have Willa capture your images throughout the years as your family grows and changes. “Photographing weddings for me seems to come more from a family-oriented mentality, and now that I have my own family, I see things differently. It just makes sense to start with my client’s wedding day and then continue to photograph them as the years go by, building a deep friendship, trust and understanding between us. That’s one of the things that I truly love about my job”. You can look for Willa Kveta’s Fine Art Portraits in galleries worldwide in the coming year.
