You must be Engaged!
Congratulations!
We’re so excited for you and hope to be by your side capturing your beautiful love story. This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment that deserves to be documented with care, intention, and joy.
We’re the team behind ARC Film. I’m Andrew, the lead photographer and founder. Alongside me are my amazing wife Sierra and my sister-in-law Sheyenne. Together, we make up a passionate family team that’s fully invested in telling your story through timeless photos and cinematic films.
With over 7 years of experience and more than 400 weddings captured, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful these memories can be. My journey began with my own wedding in the Sequoias, a day filled with emotion, beauty, and meaning, and it sparked a deep passion that’s never left me.
From the big moments to the quiet, candid in-betweens, we’re here to document your day in a way that feels truly you. We can't wait to hear all about your vision and help bring your dream day to life through photo and video.

Frequently Asked Questions
✦ WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I keep it simple and high-quality. My go to setup is a Sony A7R V with a G-Master 35mm Prime lens for about 80% of the day. For those intimate moments, I switch to an 85mm prime lens. When it gets dark, I’ve got on camera flash ready. Occasionally, I’ll bring out the drone for some epic aerial shots. Everything is backed up with dual SD cards, and I always have spare gear on hand, just in case.
✦ DO WE MEET IN PERSON BEFORE THE WEDDING?
If you're up for meeting in Irvine, let’s do it! But with the number of weddings I shoot, in person meetings aren’t always possible. That said, I’m always available for FaceTime or a call. We’ll also have plenty of time to vibe and get to know each other during your engagement shoot!
✦ WHAT'S THE TURNAROUND TIME?
You'll typically get the full online image gallery delivered within 2-4 weeks.
✦ DO YOU HELP WITH THE TIMELINE?
Absolutely! Before the big day, we’ll hop on a call to craft a custom photo timeline. It’s flexible, and we’ll adjust as needed, but I’ll make sure all your key moments are covered. We can even get started early if you’re ready to lock it in!
✦ HAVE YOU SHOT AT MY VENUE BEFORE?
Probably yes lol, but I promise this isn’t something to worry about! I’ve shot at tons of venues across California, and I know how to make any location look incredible. If I haven’t shot at your venue, I’ll scout it beforehand to make sure everything is dialed in.
✦ DO YOU REQUIRE A DEPOSIT?
Yes! I require a $2000 deposit at the time of booking. The rest of the payment is simply due any time before your wedding day!
✦ HOW MANY HOURS COVERAGE DO I NEED?
