Stacey's Photo Session at Tempe Town Lake in Tempe

Stacey's session was at Tempe Town Lake in Tempe. According to the City of Tempe, the lake is more than 2 miles long, was created by damming part of the dry Salt River bed, and has paths for walking along its edges (City of Tempe (opens in a new tab), checked on November 7, 2026).

For a quinceañera session, the water and the shoreline paths give open, bright backdrops. Arizona heat is strong in August, so these sessions are planned for the last hour of the afternoon, with water and breaks in the shade.

Stacey's Quinceañera Mass at Queen of Peace in Mesa

Stacey's Mass was at Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Mesa. The Diocese of Phoenix lists it as a Mesa parish serving in English and Spanish (Diocese of Phoenix (opens in a new tab), checked on November 7, 2026), and the parish posts its Spanish Mass times on its website (opens in a new tab).

At the Mass, the photographer and videographer agree on their spots before it starts, so they don't block each other or distract anyone. Coverage includes the quinceañera's arrival, the ceremony and the family photos at the end.
