At The Archive House, we believe your wedding deserves more than beautiful photos and films—it deserves a team you can trust.
I'm Stephen, founder of The Archive House. Alongside a close-knit team of experienced photographers and filmmakers, we've spent more than a decade documenting weddings together. Because we've worked side by side for years, we communicate seamlessly, anticipate meaningful moments, and provide a calm, professional experience from start to finish.
Whether I'm documenting your wedding personally or working alongside one of our trusted team members, you'll receive the same level of artistry, professionalism, and care that defines The Archive House.
Every wedding is different, and your coverage is thoughtfully built around your unique timeline—not a rigid shot list. From the quiet moments while getting ready to the celebration on the dance floor, we document your day naturally as it unfolds, preserving both the milestones and the meaningful moments in between.
Before your wedding, we'll work together to create a personalized timeline, plan family portraits, and discuss every important detail so you can enjoy your day with confidence.

How do we move forward with you?
A.First, we’ll schedule a quick phone consultation to chat about your wedding plans, answer any questions you may have, and make sure we’re the right fit for one another.
If everything feels good and you’re ready to move forward, we’ll sign a simple agreement and you’ll send a 50% non-refundable retainer to officially secure your date.
Once that’s done, I’ll send over a receipt, a copy of the signed agreement, and a booking confirmation — and we’ll begin planning your timeline and coverage from there.
Do you require a retainer to book?
A.Yes, a signed agreement and a 50% non-refundable retainer are required to officially secure your date. The remaining balance is due on the wedding day.
Do you offer payment plans?
A.Yes, I do. While the standard structure is 50% upfront and 50% on the wedding day, I can break that into smaller payments if needed—just let me know what works best for you.
Do you offer both photography and videography?
A.Yes! We offer photography and videography as two separate services, and you can book either one on its own — or both together as a bundle.
Each service is fully independent, with its own coverage, deliverables, and creative focus. When you book both, you’ll get 1 dedicated photographer and 1 dedicated videographer, each focused solely on their craft — ensuring nothing is missed and everything flows smoothly.
Booking both through us means one cohesive team, a consistent style, and a much easier, more streamlined experience on your wedding day.
Each service is fully independent, with its own coverage, deliverables, and creative approach. That said, when you book both through us, you get a cohesive team, a consistent style, and a smoother experience throughout the day — all without having to coordinate two separate vendors.
Is there a travel fee or any hidden fees?
A.There are no hidden fees — everything is clearly outlined in your package and agreement before booking.
We include travel for weddings within Los Angeles, Orange County, the Inland Empire, and parts of Ventura and San Diego Counties.
For weddings farther out, a small travel fee may apply, but we’ll always let you know in advance.
No surprises. No last-minute charges.
Have you shot at our venue before?
A.We’ve worked at many venues across Southern California and beyond, so there’s a good chance we’re already familiar with yours. But even if it’s a new location, we always arrive early to scout the best spots for photos and get a feel for the lighting and layout. Whether it’s our first time there or our tenth, we’ll make sure your venue is captured beautifully.
Do you help with the wedding timeline?
A.Yes — timeline planning is included in all packages. We’ll work with you (and your planner if you have one) to make sure there’s enough time for everything you want captured, without feeling rushed.
When will we receive our photos and video?
A.You’ll receive highlight photos within 3 days, and the full gallery in 4–6 weeks. Wedding films are typically delivered within 6–8 weeks.
If our work and approach resonate with you, we'd be honored to document one of the most meaningful days of your life. We intentionally accept a limited number of weddings each year to provide every couple with a personalized experience, so we encourage you to reach out as soon as your date is secured.
