FAQ

Below, you can view some frequently asked questions and our answers when it comes to Quinceañera photography.

Because you want the best Quinceañera photos!

In all seriousness, you should choose us because we are passionate about documenting your Quinceañera in a way that you will value, not just a week after your event, but 20 years from now when you are reliving these memories with your children.

Additionally, your Quinceañera will only happen once, unless there is a hidden time machine somewhere! This means that if those split-second moments are not captured, they are gone forever. When you choose us, you get to enjoy peace of mind that those moments will be captured by a professional.
Yes, and no! We believe in focusing on one thing, and being the best at it! The truth is that photographing a Quinceañera properly requires 100% attention to detail, which is what we offer you. With that being said, we do partner with a few professional videographers who excel at their jobs.

Certainly, you can find a photographer that "offers" video, but this usually means they bring along a friend with a video camera, not a professional.

You can even find DJs that "offer" photography or videography. The saying goes "Jack of all trades, master of none". Do you want a master of photography at your Quinceañera? Or someone that "does it all" but will deliver sub-par results?
