Quinceanera Video

The Quinceanera is a Latin American celebration of a young girl (age 15) becoming a woman. It is often compared to a Sweet 16 celebration or a debutante’s coming out party.

This 4-minute video represents over 8 hours of total video coverage that started at 10:30 am at the young lady’s home and concluded in the late afternoon at her reception. After taking a few video shots at home the young lady and her court arrived at the Catholic church in Round Rock, TX via limousine. It is customary for Spanish-speaking Roman Catholics to hold a ceremony at the church before moving on to the reception for additional festivities, dancing and eating.

At the reception the young lady’s first dance is with her father. The celebration (this one took place at the Marriott) resembles a wedding reception in many respects.
