How it works

Three steps to your gallery.

01

Book your date

Send a quick request with your school and grad year. We'll lock a date and plan a vibe — golden-hour outdoors or a clean indoor look.

02

We shoot

A relaxed 1–2 hour session, directed so you never wonder what to do with your hands. Bring your cap, gown, sash — and a look that's just you.

03

Your gallery

10–20 fully edited photos land in a private online gallery within 1–2 weeks — high-res, ready to print, post, and keep forever.

Behind the camera

A photographer who treats your milestone like it matters.

Merchan Films is an Orange County studio led by Michael Merchan — cinematographer, photographer, and former track athlete. The same discipline that came from competing shows up in every session: intentional, patient, and built to make you look like the best version of yourself. Not generic stock — work you'll be proud to put your name on.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Where do we shoot?

Anywhere that feels like you — your campus, a favorite Orange County spot, or a clean indoor setup. We'll pick the location together when you book.

What should I wear?

Bring your cap, gown, and sash, plus one outfit that's unmistakably you. Two looks fit comfortably in a session.

How many photos do I get?

10–20 fully edited, hand-selected images — high-resolution and yours to keep, print, and share.

When will I get them?

Your private online gallery is ready within 1–2 weeks of the session.

How do I lock a date?

Send a request with your school and grad year. Grad-season dates fill fast, so the earlier the better.

Let's make something people remember.

Tell me a little about your session — your school, grad year, and the vibe you're after — and I'll get back to you with available dates.
