More Than Just a Photographer
Matthew R. Vilma
Hey! It’s the man himself behind Vilma Visuals. I'm a portrait photographer serving Jacksonville, FL, and surrounding areas*, dedicated to capturing stunning and timeless images.
I’m not here to pose you into someone you’re not — I’m here to help put you at ease, be yourself, and leave with photos the feel like you. Whether it’s a big event or an intimate moment, I focus on capturing your story in a way that’s honest and natural.
My Origin Story
Since the dawn of social media, I've been fascinated with photography of all sorts. I used to run a photography curation page on both Instagram and Tumblr for years prior to my own start. This passion grew to the point where I decided to pick up my first camera during my last semester of college.
The name may seem simple, but it truly came as a surprise on a college graduation trip to Los Angeles, CA in the summer of 2020. It was a humbling experience to visualize the possibilities of life unfolding, allowing us to imagine what our futures could look like, depite our upbringing & societal pressures. Thus, Vilma Visuals was born.
I have come so far already through the help of friends, family, and loyal clients but I am nowhere near finished. Let’s take this journey together!
