Encino Banquet & Garden Quinceanera
:: Stacy ::

Live . Love . Laugh . Dance to have a good time! I am suggesting that be her high-flying banner. 

Stacy ... thank you! You are a beautiful girl! It was an honor (and so much fun!!!) to have a part in capturing your big day.  

The day started with a church ceremony at Mary Immaculate Church in Pacoima.
We made our way to Brand Park in Mission Hills for quinceanera photos and the surroundings were beautiful. This park is a treasure in the valley. 
Stacy's quinceanera court included close friends and cousins whom she wanted to share the spotlight with. After about a million times of not remembering each person's name, I finally got it . . .  by the end of the night. What an awesome group of young men and women! (You gotta be pretty awesome dealing with my nagging: "chin down" - "closer together" - "now, don't smile" - "just 1 more" - the list is endless.)
 I love these two. They are cousins and the best I have ever seen. A laugh is not wasted between them.
The Encino Banquet and Garden is a beautiful venue and was brought on by Lisa of IPSI. Lisa made the day flow effortlessly and added to the beauty of the quinceanera with her hand-crafted centerpieces. She kept very busy and never had to pull her hair back. To me, that is AH-mazing!!
 
Porto's Bakery and Cafe provided the beautiful and delicious cake.
