Ailany's parents contacted me in a dilemma because their original photographer had bailed on them.
I immediately said I would take over because how could I not want to be a part of a Puerto Rican quinceñera?!
As soon as I arrived, I felt like I was family! The space was pretty tight, but it was nothing I couldn't handle!
Black Romance was the theme of Ailany's quince and the emo in me was ecstatic! Every detail was unique & Ailany looked phenomenal!
The night was spent with must have photos with every guest, some amazing food and desserts & lots of dancing.
Of course there were the ceremonial father/daughter & mother/daughter dances, choreo from Ailany & friends, and Ailany's parents unboxing and putting new heels on her.
Ailany & her stepmom, Dre, had a surprise that they disguised as another ceremonial event. Read on that story here.
Quinceñeras are so meaningful because they symbolize a coming-of-age for Latinx girls. It was a sentimental day for Ailany and her family. There were many stories of Ailany as a child & hopes for her future.
Her mother continued to mention how she wanted her daughter to have the night of her life because she was special and worked hard.
Ailany sure did have an amazing day. She couldn't keep herself from smiling and crying of joy and gratitude.
