Services
Gone are the days when eloping meant to run away, get married secretly and tell your family and friends only when you'd already tied the knot. Today, couples choosing to elope are happy to share their plan, hire an adventure elopement photographer, a florist and maybe even more! Today, it's all about making your elopement a personal experience: an adventure.
Weddings and Elopements are all about telling stories. Your story. The years of your life shared, the months poured into planning your celebration, and the culmination of the big day itself. I will photograph candid snaps and planned photos that express the true meaning of this day. Wedding collections start at $5,000.
The early death of my dad opened my eyes: it only felt easy because I refused to be accountable for my choices. I was actually selfish and driven by my own person. It was the first time I decided to show vulnerability. This realization made me feel more at peace than anything before. Big changes happened after: I got divorced, I quit my job, I moved to a new country and the most profound change was to marry my wife, Tessa.
This guide will go through all the details regarding your elopement, intimate wedding, or portrait session with me. Whether your love for each other is intimate, wild, or silly, an essential aspect of your photos is to be yourself and show this uniqueness. You are not aiming anymore to create epic images, but instead, I will help you start a mission to live timeless memories.
We most enjoyed the energy you brought to the day and showing your excitement for taking each picture. Seeing you get really excited for a shot made us really excited and more relaxed in a way. The only thing we would have changed from the day would have been to have more time with you! You brought such a sense of comfort and made connections that made us feel vulnerable to be totally ourselves and at ease.

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

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!

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.

Hiring Seb is the best decision you'll make!
From the very beginning of the process of working with Sebastien, he was so friendly, responsive, and his energy and passion quickly became apparent.
The couples session with Sebastien was amazing! He immediately made us comfortable upon meeting him in person and rather than a photo shoot it felt like we were going on an adventure with a long-time friend.
The day (we took a hike in Marin County) was so much fun and was truly a bonding experience for us. The photos that came after were beautiful. We don’t consider ourselves photogenic, so how Sebastien

When my husband and I were starting to plan our wedding, we both found Sebastien independently. We loved his reportage style, use of natural light, and the toning of his photographs and were excited to reach out. His first email to us was full of personality and enthusiasm. We hopped on a video call and by the end we were so comfortable with him and could tell he loves what he does. Without question, we were ready to hire him.
Months later, we had our engagement session with Sebastien. He went above and beyond and shot us at our apartment, on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco as the sun was starting

Seb is truly one of a kind! Our experience with him was amazing! He goes above and beyond to not only your capture perfect wedding photographs but also making the experience capturing them unforgettable. He has such a great eye behind the lens and really knows how to capture the feeling at that exact moment in his photographs. He knew exactly what we wanted and exactly what we didn't want. Every SINGLE photo he took is frame-worthy, and we are still having trouble picking a few selects to hang in our house.
Seb is also one of the coolest guys we have ever been around. From the moment we spoke

I cannot stress how HIGHLY I recommend Sebastien for your wedding and engagement photography needs!!!! He is a super cool and fun guy overall, and that makes your photo session very easy going and fun and he has the best energy for your wedding day.

Seriously, we can not stop ooing and ahhing over our photos!! To this day people keep coming up to me and saying how gorgeous our wedding photos are. Sebastien

Sebastien shot our engagement photos in Big Sur in November of 2018 and he exceeded our expectations in every way!! He was very communicative up front and really got to know us before our photo session. The day of our session he made us feel so at ease and it was a truly enjoyable and memorable time for us. Then, he got the fully edited photos to us SO fast and they looked absolutely GORGEOUS! I cried when I saw them and multiple people have told us they are the most beautiful engagement photos they have ever seen. I can only say positive things about Sebastien, he is insanely talented and was

Sebastien is awesome! Not only is Seb full of energy and smiles, he has an amazing eye and delivers some of the most beautiful cinematic art. My wife and I first met Seb online. Our intro video call, which was supposed to last about 30 minutes, ended up going almost for almost 2 hours, as we shared countless stories and laughs. We knew right away Seb was the right man to photograph our wedding. From the start, he was very organized and detailed, and really took the time to get to know us as a couple.
On the day of the wedding, Sebastien showed up right on time and ready to rock! If you’ve never

Wow, where do I begin! Sebastien's commitment and passion for photography is absolutely remarkable. From the second we showed interest in booking him, his enthusiasm and fun demeanor were infectious. He took on the task of photographing our wedding with the same seriousness given to a larger scale project, and showed the professionalism and attention-to-detail that made us feel at ease in the months and weeks leading up to our wedding day. Although he certainly has a very busy schedule, he still prioritizes every job, and I would definitely recommend making it a point to meet and discuss the plan
