Sebastien Bicard Photographer | Reviews

There aren't enough words to describe how amazing and talented Sebastien is! We absolutely loved working with him (as did our bridal party and families)! Sebastien made our engagement photos, our wedding day photos, and our day-after session so much fun and easy. We were both nervous before the engagement session about being photographed, but Sebastien made it so easy, gave us pointers to make the pictures look great and natural, and ensured we had fun. We trusted him completely by the time the wedding came around, and had no doubt he would do an amazing job. His work is phenomenal, and we were blown away by the photos!!! We can't recommend him highly enough!

We had an INCREDIBLE experience with Seb. From the moment we first spoke with him over the phone, his contagious energy made us feel so excited and comfortable. He truly cared about getting to know us and building rapport well before we had our session. In turn, we had an absolute blast doing the shoot..way more than I would have ever imagined. Seb is truly passionate about what he does, and it shows in the final product. He helped us to express our genuine love and emotion - and captured that beautifully. Our photos came out absolutely stunning. Look no further than Sebastien - he is truly the full package. I would not hesitate to work with him again!

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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!

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.
