Frequently Asked Questions

Photography and Video Package Questions

Q: What photography and video packages do you offer for quinceañeras?

A: We offer flexible photo and video packages designed to fit various budgets and needs. Our complete quinceañera packages include both photography and videography services, but we also provide standalone options if you prefer just photos or just video coverage. Each package focuses on capturing natural, genuine moments with minimal editing to preserve the authentic memories of your celebration. We believe in showing your quinceañera exactly as it happened - beautiful and real. For specific package details and pricing, I'd be happy to discuss your needs and budget during a consultation.

Q: Do you really offer a free photoshoot before booking?

A: Yes! We provide a complimentary Save-the-Date photo session so you and your quinceañera can meet our team in person before making any commitments. This session helps everyone feel comfortable and ensures we're the right fit for your special day. It's our way of building trust and letting you experience our photography style firsthand. There's no obligation to book our quinceañera services after the Save-the-Date session, though most families love working with us and decide to move forward. To make this even more special and mind-blowing for you, our stylists also offer FREE hair and makeup for your FREE Save the Date photoshoot!

Timeline and Booking Process

Q: How far in advance should we book our quinceañera photography?

A: I recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially if your quinceañera falls during popular months like spring or fall. This timeline gives us plenty of opportunity to plan together, ensures your preferred date is available, and allows time for your complimentary Save-the-Date session. Early booking also means you can take advantage of our vendor referral network for other quinceañera services, helping you secure the best professionals within your budget.

Q: What's included in your planning support?

A: Beyond photography and videography, we provide comprehensive planning support including vendor referrals for various budget levels, and digital invitation options. Most importantly, you'll have access to our "Quinceañeras on a Budget" Facebook community - the world's largest parent-to-parent quinceañera planning group. This community provides ongoing support, ideas, and connections with other families going through the same planning process.

Community and Budget Resources

Q: How can your Facebook groups help with quinceañera planning?

A: Our Facebook groups are game-changers for quinceañera planning! We operate both a public group and a private group where parents share real experiences, budget-saving tips, and vendor recommendations. You'll get advice from families who've already planned quinceañeras, find solutions to common challenges, and connect with trusted vendors at various price points. It's like having hundreds of experienced parents helping you plan the perfect celebration while staying within budget.

Q: Can you help us find other vendors within our budget?

A: Absolutely! Through our extensive network and Facebook community connections, we provide vendor referrals for all aspects of quinceañera planning - from venues and catering to dresses and decorations. We understand that every family has different budget constraints, so we connect you with trusted professionals across various price ranges. Our goal is supporting your entire planning journey, not just the photography and videography.

Service Delivery and Technical Details

Q: How do you deliver our photos and videos?

A: All photos and videos are delivered through our secure client portal, which you'll have access to throughout the process. We focus on natural photography with minimal editing because we believe your quinceañera should look exactly as beautiful as it actually was. You'll receive high-resolution images perfect for printing and sharing, plus any video content in formats suitable for social media sharing and keepsake purposes.

Q: What makes New Dawn Photo different from other quinceañera photographers?

A: We're more than just a photography service - we're a community resource. While we capture stunning, natural photos and videos of your quinceañera, we also provide ongoing support through our planning process, vendor connections, and Facebook community access. Our approach focuses on genuine moments rather than overly edited images, and our free Save-the-Date sessions ensure you're completely comfortable with our team. Plus, our "Quinceañeras on a Budget" community gives you access to the largest network of quinceañera planning families in the world. A community that we built from the ground up, to give parents a safe and friendly place to share ideas, solve problems and search for vendors (including other photo and video teams)!
