Photographer, John Villarreal
Some of my earliest memories are of my grandmother and father behind the camera- pausing time with a quiet click, capturing everyday moments like they were treasures. Their love for photography planted a seed in me long before I realized it.
Years later, while serving in the military, I began to see the world with more intention—studying composition and emotion in real time. This experience taught me to be patient, alert, and deeply present—skills that now shape every image I create. After the military, I earned my Bachelor’s degree at Arizona State University in Film & Media Production.
“Hiring Better Together Matrimonies was the best decison we could have made for our wedding. It was a one stop shop for some of our biggest wedding elements, making it so convenient. The staff was kind, quick, responsive, and so easy to work with. Ben was our officiant, and John was our photographer, and we couldn’t have been happier with either of them. They were both kind, fun, creative, and seemed genuinely happy to help make our day everything we’d hpped for. We would strongly recommend Better Together Matrimonies to anyone getting married in Arizona.”
