Marin Fotografia y Video

Marin Fotografia y Video is a family-run photo and video studio based in Houston, run by Miguel Marin alongside Maria Marin. The studio’s site highlights Miguel’s 20+ years of experience in the field (one secondary page on the same site says “more than 25 years,” a minor inconsistency worth flagging). Their focus is quinceañeras and weddings across the greater Houston area, with bilingual service in Spanish and English and a stated willingness to travel for destination events in other U.S. states and countries like Mexico and Colombia.

What’s included

The studio promises exclusive, all-day coverage of the event: a pre-session, travel to the home, church, park, and reception hall, with no extra charge tied to coverage hours or the number of photos delivered. Their “select” packages (the site doesn’t name specific tiers or levels) include all images fully edited, in full resolution, with copyright/print rights handed to the client, plus flush-mounted digital albums, canvas prints, and a variety of print styles.

A differentiator repeated across several pages is drone photography and video: the studio markets itself as a Houston pioneer in aerial “pre-videos” (they mention using a Phantom 4) for quinceañeras and weddings, capturing high-altitude shots of the event venue. They also offer a standalone quinceañera video service, positioned as a narrative record of the day separate from photo packages.

Beyond social events, Marin Fotografia also covers maternity photography (with dress rental for the session, per one of its pages) and real estate photography in Houston, which points to a generalist studio rather than one focused solely on quinceañeras.

Pricing

This is the weakest part of the available information: the site publishes no price list or package range on any of its service pages (home, quinceañeras, weddings, drone video). The copy repeatedly invites you to call and “ask about our specials,” and says Miguel builds a package “according to the client’s needs and budget,” but gives no numeric anchor at all. We also didn’t find a priced profile for this vendor on WeddingWire or The Knot in the searches run for this piece. If you’re considering this studio, get a detailed written quote before comparing it against other Houston photographers.

Who it’s best for

Marin Fotografia y Video may suit families who value unlimited-hour, all-day coverage with no cap on delivered photos as part of the deal, and who want a visual extra like drone footage to showcase the venue or event location. Its recorded rating is 4.6 out of 5 stars with 12 reviews (Google, via Birdeye, verified August 25, 2026) — a relatively low review count compared to other quinceañera photographers in Houston, so it’s worth asking for references or seeing a full portfolio before committing. If you need to compare exact budgets up front without calling, this isn’t the easiest vendor to work with, since all pricing negotiation happens by phone.

Tips before booking

• Get the package breakdown in writing: what each tier includes, exactly how many hours it covers, how many edited photos you’ll receive, and the delivery timeline.
• Clarify drone coverage: ask whether aerial photo/video is included in the base package or billed as an add-on, and whether the operator is certified to fly at your specific venue (some halls and parks restrict drone use).
• Confirm who shoots your event: since this is a two-person family business, ask whether Miguel Marin personally photographs your date or assigns another team photographer.
• Check availability early: there’s no online booking system, only a contact form and phone number, so lock in your date with a direct call.
• Ask to see recent quinceañera work specifically shot in Houston (not just weddings or destination shoots) to judge the actual style you’d be getting.

As always, confirm pricing, availability, and contract details directly with the studio at (713) 378-1730 or (713) 808-5927 before booking.
