Quinceañera Films for Des Moines Families
Des Moines is about two hours east of Omaha on I-80, and we travel there for quinceañeras across the metro, from downtown to West Des Moines. A quinceañera is a story told in sound and motion as much as in photographs, so we film the blessing at Mass, her father's words at the toast, the court's entrance and the vals with the real recorded sound of the night.
Because we come from out of town, planning matters even more. Before her date we review the venue layout, the Mass time and the order of the night, from the court entrance to the vals and the surprise dance, and we set camera positions and audio before guests arrive so the travel never adds stress to her day. We have already photographed quinceañera portraits at Glen Oaks Country Club in West Des Moines, and we know the city's best backdrops, from the golden dome of the Iowa State Capitol to the Principal Riverwalk at golden hour.
We shoot on Canon R5 and R6 cameras in Canon Log and color grade every film for a rich, cinematic look. Every quinceañera film includes a cinematic highlight film plus the full Mass and reception, delivered in about two weeks. Add a same day edit for the reception, drone footage of her portrait locations, or vertical reels for Instagram and TikTok. Photography comes from the same team, and we gladly plan every detail in Spanish with mamá, papá and the padrinos.
