A quinceañera's waltz and surprise dance, filmed by Paul Dal Studios

San Diego quinceañera photographer and videographer

Her quinceañera, in photos and on film.

I photograph and film quinceañeras in San Diego myself: the entrance, the traditions, the waltz and the family around her, delivered as photos and as films of each moment. I've covered four quinceañeras. Every quinceañera is custom-quoted.

Every tradition gets its own moment.

A quinceañera runs on traditions that only happen once and don't wait for anyone. I plan the night with you, learn which ones your family is keeping and where they'll happen, and set up for each before it starts.

The waltz and the surprise dance are filmed wide and steady so you see the whole floor, the dress and the court, then covered close for faces. The photos follow the same plan.
