Why choose quinceañera photography in Guadalajara?
XV años in Guadalajara are big, formal celebrations: a mass, a court of chambelanes, a waltz, a change of shoes and a party that runs late. The photography usually starts with a portrait session in the Centro Histórico, with the cathedral and the Teatro Degollado behind the dress, and then follows the family through the church and the reception. Five hours of coverage fits the mass, the portraits and the main moments of the party.
