Quinceañera photography · Atlanta
In short
Quinceañera photography in Atlanta starts at $950: 5 hours on location with a photographer who works in Atlanta, and 250 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 4 weeks.
Why choose Quinceañera photography in Atlanta?
Quinceañera photography in Atlanta is five hours of coverage of a fifteenth-birthday celebration — getting ready, the Mass or blessing, formal portraits, the court of honor and the reception — priced from $950. Metro Atlanta’s Latino families are concentrated along the northeast suburbs, in Gwinnett County, Doraville, Norcross and along Buford Highway, and that is where most quinceañera Masses and banquet halls are. The portrait session, though, often goes into the city for a garden, and that is where the size of the group becomes the planning problem.
Worth knowing about Atlanta
A quinceañera court rarely fits an Atlanta garden’s photo-session limit. The Atlanta Botanical Garden’s $500 photography session admits ten people including the photographer, and each additional guest costs $32, so a court of fourteen with parents and padrinos can add several hundred dollars. Bringing only the quinceañera and her parents to the garden, and photographing the full court at the hall, avoids that.

FAQ — Quinceañera photography in Atlanta
Can the whole court of honor be photographed at the Atlanta Botanical Garden?
Yes, but the Atlanta Botanical Garden’s $500 photography session includes only ten people counting the photographer, and every additional guest is charged $32. Balloons, confetti and similar props are not permitted, and from March to June and in September and October sessions run Tuesday to Friday only, so most Atlanta quinceañera courts are photographed at the venue instead.
Can photos be taken during the quinceañera Mass in Atlanta?
That is set by each Atlanta-area parish, not by the photographer, and parishes differ on whether a photographer may move during the liturgy or use flash. The rules are asked of the parish office when the Mass is booked, and the coverage plan for the five hours is built around whatever the priest allows, with portraits on the church steps afterwards.
