Mariana’s Quinceañera in Sacramento CA.

We arrived at Mariana's home in the morning to capture details of her getting ready process along with some details of her dress and accessories. By the time that we arrived most of the chambelanes and damas were already there to get the day started!


After the getting ready everyone got in the party bus and headed to the location to take photos of her court and friends at the Leland Stafford Mansion in Downtown Sacramento. This session is always fun because we take a few photos of the quinceanera along with her chambelanes, damas, friends and anyone else that fits in the party bus!

We only had a few minutes during this session before heading to the ceremony.


The ceremony took place at the St. Robert Catholic Church in Sacramento CA. Most of her family and friends were there to be part of the beautiful ceremony.


After the ceremony, we headed straight to the reception venue. The venue was at a nice ranch located outside of Sacramento. As we arrived I noticed that there were a lot beautiful of decorations all over the venue. We were able to take photos of some of the arrangements.

Everyone had some time to sit down and enjoy appetizers and refreshments. The temperature at that time was in the 100 degrees!

After it cooled off a bit in the evening, it was time to begin the vals followed by a dace with her parents and a few family members.


As we were moving towards the end of the night, it was time to open dance the dance floor with an entrance of the Banda along with Mariana and her court. The Banda had great music playing all night! This was where everyone got up of their seat and joined Mariana to dance with her all night to an unforgettable day!

I hope that you get to enjoy some of the photos!
