Top 30 Life was somewhat easy for me for quite a long time. When I was young, I built a special bond with my dad that would play a major role later. Life went on and I found myself in a stable place. Well paid job, a house, wife, kids, and friends. I thought I could not ask for more. Life was “easy”.
The early death of my dad opened my eyes: it only felt easy because I refused to be accountable for my choices.
And through it all, I finally found myself.
I don’t believe we need to change everything. In my case, being vulnerable fuels an incredible thirst to keep growing, taking risks everywhere I go, with anyone I meet. I’m in a place where photography is the best tool to help couples feel more comfortable showing vulnerability towards each other so they can see how their unique love story will lead them to a more meaningful life."

Sebastien brings so much positive energy to his shoots that it feels like he’s as excited for your wedding as you are. He provides great instruction that helps build confidence. We felt more comfortable during our wedding than we ever thought possible with him in our corner.
I cannot believe I found a photographer this talented to come to my wedding. He was absolutely amazing for our mountain top elopement. Seb was warm, friendly, and put us so at ease that we were able to just be ourselves. He captured the best moment of my life so perfectly. The pictures were breathtaking, and more importantly, they captured the essence of us as a couple. I can never thank him enough. He is a true artist and one of the kindest and most caring people you will ever meet.
To say it was an honor having Sebastien capture our wedding day is a complete understatement. From the moment we had our consultation with him, I knew I wanted him to photograph our wedding. Not only is his work exceptional, but his warm, enthusiastic & personable energy that he brings to every conversation and on your big day like any other photographer I've ever worked with.
I could write so much about what I loved about working with Sebastien. But a few of my most favorite things are:
-He invests in his clients. Our initial consultation was well over 1 hr+, and it never felt like a consultation, but more like a conversation. It was truly Sebastien wanting to get to know us as a couple and understand what was and wasn't important to us.
-He balances his personable communication with both responsiveness and professionalism. All of the logistics were very streamlined with Sebastien--from the contract to creating the timeline, shot list and retrieving our images, it all was very easy.
-He's very efficient. By far the quickest family photo set I've ever experienced. He managed to get through all family/bridal party portraits in under 30 minutes (and they were great photos!)
-His infectious energy. My wedding guests still are talking about how upbeat and enthusiastic Seb was on the day of our wedding. He played a crucial role in making our day incredibly warm, intimate and fun.
-He helped me stay in the moment. One of my favorite memories was a moment we had in an old barn right after the ceremony. Seb put on one of our favorite songs and let us just exist in the moment together. Not only were those photos from the barn my very favorite of the entire day, but one of the most memorable moments that I'll never forget.
His work speaks for itself, so I'll post a few here. But you will not regret hiring Sebastien to capture your day!

Best photographer ever!! I’ve worked with multiple photographers and hands down Sebastian is the best in the business! The quality of his photos are unbeatable and incredible! He has such enthusiasm and love for his work and will make anyone look stunning! He will help you feel at ease and will direct you! I cannot wait to work with him again in the future! I wish all of my photography shoots have been with him! No one else compares!!
I really wish I could give Sebastien more than 5 stars! He's been an absolute delight to work with since we first reached out to him in February 2020. As the date may imply, we soon had to reschedule our wedding and Sebastien was more than accommodating. If you do yourself the favor of scheduling an introductory meeting with him, you'll notice immediately just how warm and thoughtful he is, and how seriously he takes the opportunity to photograph your major life milestones. While his support in the lead-up to the wedding was fantastic, it was nothing compared to his performance on the big day! He brought a professional, but exuberant, tone to each photo session. Literally jogging between hotel rooms to capture us getting ready, sitting backwards on a pedicab to snap pics of us in transit to the venue. and tightly coordinating the dozens of different lineups we had for the family photo portion made him a big hit with the entire wedding party. People still talk about how incredible he was to watch work. At the end of the day, though, what matters are the pictures and I have to say they exceeded all expectations. He caught the sweet, intimate moments and the big, fun moments with equal skill. He also distributes the photos via a beautiful website that makes it easy to view and share with friends.
I don't write a ton of reviews, but it was important to us to let folks know that you are in very capable, very caring hands if you book with Sebastien. He was a genuine highlight of our wedding day and we pull up his pictures weekly just to re-live the best time of our life. I hope anybody reading this has an equally special experience.

We got married at SF city hall in July of 2021. Sebastien was our photographer. We couldn’t have had a better experience!! He was so professional and personable. We now have a beautiful gallery of photos to look back on our special day. He does an amazing job of capturing the moment. I am so happy we ended up choosing Seb as our photographer and would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone looking for beautiful photos of their special moments.
This fast-paced society tells us to keep moving, and sometimes we forget to stop and appreciate the little moments. Sebastien gave us the opportunity to slow down to enjoy each other not only during the session, but even during the preparations and definitely for always after.
We fell in love with Seb’s photos after scrolling through Instagram, and then we fell for his contagious energy during our first call. He was responsive, thorough, and incredibly flexible after a continuous string of challenges (hello, pandemic and CA fires). You can tell that it’s not just a job, but a true passion as Seb is thoughtful about every step of the process. He took the time to get to know us and made the entire experience feel like a personal journey.
We had a couples session at Muir Woods and Overlook. It was our first time taking photos and I was definitely nervous. However, Seb never made it feel like a photoshoot, just a good ol’ time cherishing the one we love the most. He helped us remember the best parts of our love, and we left feeling inspired to love harder. He didn’t just give us photos, but memories where we can pinpoint exactly why we laughed so hard or carried so much love in our eyes. Simply put, he brought out the best of us to create pure magic.

Sebastien is the best! Helps you through the whole process leading up to the event and does wonderful work. We were very happy with our elopement photos!!
Me and my husband had the best time with Sebastien! From the very first email and even after he shared with us our gallery, he was super professional and helpful, great at communicating with us and easygoing. He made us feel super comfortable during our session, walk us through the process before to ease our nervousness, and had such a great energy the day of. One of the things we liked the most about working with him is that it didn't feel transactional to us and he really takes the time to get to know you as a couple. You won't regret working with him, you'll have not only amazing pictures but an equally awesome experience.
Thank you Seb - for being the most professional, enthusiastic, easy-going photographer. You have captured the true-us, and we totally enjoyed the entire session. Everyone, check him out!!
