Quinceañeras in San Antonio & across Texas

Fifteen years, one unforgettable day

A quinceañera is a family milestone: the dress, the Mass, the court, the waltz, the last doll, the father-daughter dance. I photograph it with the same calm direction I bring to weddings, so she feels confident and you can enjoy the day.

I help plan the timeline, organize family and court photos so they move fast, and guide every portrait so she never has to wonder what to do with her hands.

Pre-quinceañera portraits

A relaxed session in her gown before the big day, with time to try different spots, poses and light without the clock running.

Event coverage

What I photograph on the day

Getting ready & the dress

Hair and makeup, the final touches, her parents seeing her for the first time, and detail shots of the gown, tiara, shoes and bouquet.

Mass & traditions

The blessing, the arrival with her parents, the change of shoes, the last doll and the traditions your family keeps, photographed discreetly.

Family & court

Organized formals with grandparents, padrinos and the whole court. You send the list and I keep it moving.

Entrance & waltz

The grand entrance, the court's choreography, the waltz and the father-daughter dance, the moments everyone will want framed.

The celebration

Speeches, the cake, the dance floor and the candid moments in between, until the end of your coverage.

Keepsakes

Every package includes a 13×19 platinum print, a 20-print faux leather book and a custom magazine of up to 40 pages.

FAQ

Quinceañera photography questions

How much does a quinceañera photographer cost in San Antonio?

The Radiance Quinceañera Story is $1,499. It includes 5 hours of coverage, a pre-event consult, an edited online gallery, a 13×19 platinum print, a 20-print faux leather book and a custom magazine of up to 40 pages. Extra coverage is $300 per hour, and there are no travel fees anywhere in Texas.

What's the difference between pre-quince portraits and event coverage?

Pre-quince portraits are a relaxed session before the big day, in her dress at a park, a historic building or another favorite spot, so you get polished portraits without the time pressure of the party. Event coverage is the day itself: the Mass or ceremony, family and court photos, the entrance, the waltz, the father-daughter dance, the cake and the celebration.

Can you photograph the court and the whole family?

Yes. Send me your list of family groupings and court photos ahead of time and I'll organize them on the day, calling names and posing each group so formals stay quick and everyone gets back to the party.

Do you photograph the Mass or church ceremony?

Yes. I'll follow the church's photography guidelines, stay discreet during the ceremony, and make sure the moments that matter most, like the blessing, the parents and the arrival, are covered.

How far in advance should we book?

Many families book several months in advance, especially for weekend events. Schedule pre-quince portraits early enough to leave time for editing, prints, invitations and displays.

Do you offer prints, albums and wall art?

Yes, and they're built into the package: a large platinum print, a faux leather print book and a custom magazine your family can pass around for years. Extra prints, books and magazine copies are available as add-ons.
