Quinceañera twirling in a red dress under a stone arch

Quinceañera in León · Fernando Ruiz

Here’s everything for your quinceañera.

How I work, what’s included, what you get, and how much it costs. No fine print.

01

You won’t have to pose

Almost nobody feels comfortable in front of a camera, especially with everyone watching. My job is to make you forget I’m there. What comes out afterward is your real face, not your photo face.

02

The team grows with your party

Depending on the package you pick, I come alone or with one more person for video. You’re never paying for a crew your party doesn’t need.

03

You’ll have photos soon

A preview lands a week after your party. Not three months later, when nobody’s asking anymore.

«We’re both really shy in front of cameras. Fer made us feel so comfortable that at no point did it feel like we were posing.»

The packages

Three ways to cover your quinceañera

The difference between them is how many hours I’m with you, and whether you add video or keep it photo only.

Waltz

5 hours of coverage

For when the party is what matters most and you don’t need me at the mass, or you’ve already got that covered another way. I arrive for the final touches, your entrance, the waltz, and I stay through the start of the party. It’s just me on photo, and one person joins for video.

Court

7 hours of coverage

The package that covers the whole day of the party: getting ready, your entrance, the waltz, the court’s protocol, and the party, without rushing anything.

Reign

9 hours · the whole day

For when your day starts early: mass included before getting ready, a photo session, your entrance, the waltz, the court’s protocol, and the party through to the end. The time a full quinceañera celebration asks for, with no rush.

34,90056,900Mexican pesos

Video comes with your gallery: a highlights reel of about 3 minutes to share, and a full film to relive the whole day.

The hours flex to fit your party. If you’re one hour short, we just add the extra hour, no need to change packages.

On social media you see one or two good photos from a party. That’s not enough to see what actually matters: how the story is told from start to finish, with the light changing and moments that happen only once. In my galleries I post a full recap, not a handful of the best-looking shots. Look through one and decide with that.

Before the party

A session to get comfortable with the camera

Not required, but it helps: you arrive at your party already at ease in front of me, and you get photos for your invitations or to decorate the venue along the way.

Short session

1 hour · one outfit change

One outfit change, two different looks in the same place. Enough for your invitations or the first photos you share before the party.

Full session

2 hours · more than two looks

Double the time gets you more than two outfit changes and a second location, so the photos don’t all look the same.

What you’ll always get

A preview within a week

Seven days after your party I send around 20 already-edited photos. That’s on purpose: by the time everyone starts asking if you have photos yet, you’ll already have something to show.

Your full gallery online

One to three months later, in a private gallery you can share with anyone and download in high resolution.

You know who’s on your team

If it’s photo only, it’s just me. If you add video, we’re two: me on photo and one person on video. Never fewer than what’s in your contract.

An actual good time

Some quinceañeras want a long portrait session with their parents, others would rather get back to dancing with their friends fast. We plan it with you, not for you.

Extras

None of these are required. They’re here in case they’re useful to you.

Booking your date

It’s simpler than you think

Your date is booked with the deposit, and we work out the rest in installments up until the party, however works best for you.

Message me to confirm your date and I’ll send you the payment link:

$5,000Deposit, photo only
$8,000Deposit, photo and video

You can pay by credit or debit card, bank transfer, deposit, or cash. In León I can also collect the deposit in person if that gives you more peace of mind.

What people always ask

Questions

Is the deposit half of the package?
No. I ask for $5,000 if it’s photo only and $8,000 if it’s photo and video. We work out the rest in payments up until the party.
What happens if we move the date?
It can be done, and it depends on two things: that you let me know with enough notice for me to be able to book that date, and that I’m free on the new one. If both line up, your deposit moves with you to the new date. If the notice comes late, the deposit is forfeited and the new date needs a deposit again. It’s all in the contract too.
How many people come if I add video?
I come for photo and one more person for video. Never fewer than what’s in your contract.
Is the session before the party required?
No. It’s an extra in case you want photos before your party, for invitations or just to get comfortable in front of the camera. It’s billed separately from your day-of package.
How long until the photos are ready?
The preview of about 20 photos arrives a week later. The full gallery, one to three months later depending on the season. If you booked video, it’s delivered together with the gallery.
Is there a contract?
Always. It arrives by email, you sign it from your phone, and it spells everything out clearly: hours, date, venue, what’s included, and what you’re paying. It’s your peace of mind, and mine too.
What if my party isn’t in León?
I have my own pricing for outside León, with travel already included. See the packages for outside León or message me and I’ll send them to you.

Tell me your date and I’ll tell you if I have it.

It’s the only thing I need to get started. If it’s open, I’ll answer in a few minutes.
