IVAE Studios in the Press: Featured Coverage, Editorial Mentions & Industry Recognition

This is the official press index for IVAE Studios and founder Vianey Díaz. It is maintained as a living document — every confirmed editorial feature, awards listing, real wedding submission, membership and citation is added the moment it goes live, with a direct outbound link to the publishing outlet. Sections currently marked pending indicate work that is in submission, in editorial pipeline, or in the planned roadmap, and they are intentionally visible so press contacts and readers can see exactly where coverage stands today.
