What I Do
Three things I do often enough to do well. If your day doesn't fit neatly into one of them, ask anyway — most don't.
01
A covenant is one of the most sacred moments two people will share. I cover weddings documentary-first — the laugh during the vows, the grandmother watching from the third row, the part nobody thought to pose for.
02
Grad sessions on campus, family portraits at golden hour, and clean professional headshots — including full-team days where everyone cycles through one setup and every frame still matches.
03
Birthdays, anniversaries, showers, banquets and company gatherings — photo and video. Years of shooting live rooms means I know how to stay invisible in one that's actually about something else.
About
I'm Andy Shalaby — a photographer and filmmaker in Orange County, a worship leader, and a psychology student at Cal State Fullerton finishing up this December.
Most weeks I'm behind a camera or behind a keyboard leading a room in worship, and the two jobs turn out to be the same job: pay attention, stay out of the way, and hold onto what happened. That's the instinct I bring to a wedding aisle or a graduation lawn.
I shoot on Sony, edit everything myself, and turn galleries around in under a week because waiting a month for your photos is its own small grief.

Before You Ask
Send me your date through the form below. If I'm free, I'll reply within 24 hours with a short call or a quote. A signed agreement plus a 35% retainer locks the date — that retainer is part of your total, not on top of it. The rest is due the week of the shoot.
Five to seven days for most sessions, and you'll have a sneak peek within 48 hours of a wedding. If you need the whole gallery faster than that, rush delivery is available — tell me up front.
The ranges listed under each collection are honest floors, not ceilings. I'd rather hand you fewer images that are all good than dump the card on you, so every delivered frame is one I'd put in this portfolio.
Yes — Greater LA, San Diego, the Inland Empire, and further with notice. Anything within about an hour of Orange County has no travel fee. Beyond that I'll quote mileage and, for longer days, lodging, and you'll see the number before you commit.
No — the editing is a real part of what you're hiring, and raw files aren't a finished product. You get every delivered image at full resolution with a personal print release, so you can print, share, and post them however you like.
Portrait and grad sessions reschedule free with 24 hours' notice — weather included. Weddings are a firm date, but if something outside your control moves the day, I'll move with you if I'm open.
Usually yes. If the night is running long and you want me to stay, we settle it right there at the hourly rate for your collection — no renegotiating, no surprise invoice later.
Yes, and it's often cheaper than hiring two people. For a full wedding day I'll usually bring a second shooter so neither side gets shortchanged — that's priced as an add-on above.
