Colorado Springs Wedding Planner | A Picture Perfect Moment with Robert Villena

“I see the world differently than most people do. I’ve trained myself to see the world the way a camera would. Even in my everyday life I see shapes, lines, light, shadow, color, tone and balance. When these elements are combined with a sense of timing and anticipation the result is the ability to not only capture those moments that are often missed, but to capture them in a uniquely beautiful and artistic way.” Robert Villena expresses his passion perfectly, the passion that fills his everyday life and allows it to be captured on film for the memories to last a lifetime.


Robert, owner of Robert Villena Photography, fell in love with photography when he was taking pictures at his friend’s wedding with just a simple point and click camera. The idea that he could capture such beautiful moments with such simple technology amazed him and only from there did his passion expand.

Robert has amazing pictures from all over the Country of places he has toured, pictures from around town and pictures taken from his IPhone! The creative passion in Robert is exploding and if you would like to be a part of that there are two ways you can. Join Robert at the Sundance Mountain Bridal Show on April 10 from 4:00-8:00 p.m. There you will be able to view Robert’s work, learn a little about him and see how passionate he really is when he talks photography.

Another way to meet Robert is through his photography workshops he hosts in Garden of the Gods. The workshops consist of a three hour course where he will assist beginners or advanced photographers in learning about their camera, taking pictures and enjoying the beauty of the art of photography.

Like most professionals in the industry the most rewarding part to Robert is seeing and hearing the reactions of the couples when they see his work. To this day it is still his favorite part of what he does.

Come Sunday, April 10 at Sundance Mountain Lodge and meet Robert of Robert Villena Photography.
