Marizol's Quinceanera-LA, California

Last week I had the amazing opportunity to travel to California to document a dear girl's transformation into a young woman. I first met Marizol 2 years ago when she came to visit family (her aunt is a zumba friend ;) We joked around then about me flying out to cali to photograph her Quinceanera. Little did I know that a little joking around would actually come true :D So...the boys and I flew out last week and not only did I get the chance to photograph this amazing event, but I finally got to meet a dear friend I have known for years but had never actually met in person. AND we spent almost 5 days together with my two boys and her two boys. You can't even imagine what an amazing week it was, it didnt last nearly long enough (Mililani I still miss you!!!)

Anyway..the day started out with a little hair and makeup prep

The ceremony was very touching, I love how she is escorted down the aisle by her Chambelan de honor

My favorite part of the ceremony was when Marizol offered a bouquet of flowers and sang to the Virgin, she has a beautiful voice

Check her out, so beautiful!

No party is complete without the pinata :)

Again with her Chambelan Edward :)

With her Damas!

With her mom and dad :)

The reception was amazing, the food yummmmmy,lol. My favorite part was when she hopped up on stage and sang with her dad <3

Now thats a party group!! Thanks again guys, it was an awesome experience!!
