Sebastian made our wedding video everything I wanted it to be! He was able to capture everything! I was absolutely amazed by the quality and length of our video. I couldn't have asked for a better videographer to capture our day. He was extremely professional, flexible,...
and affordable. He worked with our photographer with ease and made sure that he was never in the way of any photos. I will forever cherish the video he created! I highly recommend using him as your videographer! I hope to use him again in the future!

Sebastien did an amazing job as videographer for our wedding! He had previously done my sisters wedding and also did a great job, so we knew in hiring him we would get that same professionalism and care. Sebastien is such a pleasure to work with and always has a smile o...
n his face on the job. His positive attitude is something we really appreciated. Additionally, he completed our highlight video in a timely manner and we still watch it all the time, along with the raw footage he gave us. Sebastien chose to shoot for our wedding even though the day of was his actual birthday, which I believe just displays his kind-hearted and selfless nature. You will not regret hiring him!

For our wedding, we were on the fence about budgeting for a videographer, but I knew it would be important to me to have something to look back on and watch on anniversaries, show our kids one day, etc. I took a look at recommendations from The Knot and found Sebastien....
He is a wonderful personality to have around on wedding day (feels like having a friend there) and was great at checking in with me or our coordinator as timing changed around some things at our reception - to make sure he captured the important things I had let him know I wanted captured without charging us for any extra time.
Post-wedding he is also SO fast! I know photos take a long time to get , so I expected to be waiting for videos too, but we got a link to our highlight while still on our honeymoon and DVDs/a device with all the footage on it soon after. We have absolutely loved watching the DVDs with our families and being able to look back on the day.
Overall, it seems average to pay a lot and receive only a highlight video these days. But, if you are looking for a videographer with the best price on the market who will give you the ability to look back on your day in short - and full - versions, then Sebastien is your guy! Thank you!

We were on the fence on whether or not we wanted a videographer for our wedding, but decided to go ahead and book Sebastien due to his great reviews and reasonable prices. We are so glad we did! The day of, Sebastien introduced himself, was super friendly, and was like ...
a fly on the wall capturing every special moment. We received a USB of a 4-minute trailer, the wedding ceremony & important parts like the speeches and dances, and the party/dancing, about a month after the wedding (as promised). Both the video and audio quality were amazing! Sebastien was thoughtful about angles, well positioned, and didn’t miss a single thing. It was so much fun watching the video and our family commented on the great video quality. Highly recommend!

Sebastien is BY FAR the best in the area. He is timely with his communication, you never have to worry where you are at in the process. Hes open to working with you to make sure your contract highlights exactly what you need and that you are not overpaying for services....
On the wedding day, he’s easy to work with. Seamless. Knows exactly what he’s doing. Blends right in with your family - you don’t even know he’s there. His film was returned to us within a month. And the way he captures your day is better than you could have imagined. We laughed, cried, and relived the whole experience. Highly recommend.

Sebastien Mortreux was everything we could have wanted in a wedding videographer. At first, we were hesitant to get a videographer of any kind, but we were so glad we did. Before we signed a contract, Sebastien took ample time to talk with us on the phone, going through...
our expectations, questions, and all the services that he could provide. We felt incredibly comfortable with him and sure that this was the right choice.
Sebastien showed up at our venue as early as he could and took amazing drone shots to capture the beauty of the space and of our day. He worked seamlessly with our pair of still photographers to get footage of the bride and groom getting ready, as well as a first look and pictures before the ceremony. He used dozens of cameras to perfectly record the ceremony and all the magic of it. During the reception, we received numerous compliments from guests about Sebastien’s presence, friendliness, and level of excitement. He stayed at the venue until well after midnight, capturing hours of dancing, fun, and our eventual grand exit.
Within weeks, we received a roughly 10-minute highlight video expertly edited with special parts of the ceremony and reception, all set to beautiful music. He was also able to provide several DVD copies as well as a flash drive of the entire wedding video, which totaled over 2 hours of footage. We couldn’t have been happier with how the video and sound all came out, and though we were tipped off to it by guests during the reception, Sebastien included some wonderful surprises at the end of the video. To anyone on the fence about getting a videographer for your big day, go with Sebastien and you will not regret it at all. It was certainly money well spent, and an incredible way to remember the best day of your life.

Initially we were not going to hire a videographer for our wedding but i thought it would be a nice surprise for my wife as a wedding present to have our special day recorded. I found Sebastien with a search on wedding wire and the knot about a month before our wedding....
Luckily he had an opening on Memorial day weekend for us! Working with Sebastien was very easy, he worked with our photographer very well, as if they had worked with each other before. We got the basic package but he added on an extra hour for us since we put down an early deposit! We added on the highlight video and raw footage for an extra fee but we found it was well worth it to share the highlights with our friends and family who couldn't make it. The raw footage has been a blast to look back and see moments that we weren't able to see while we were running around and taking pictures! Overall very professional and easy going videographer that I would recommend to any of my friends getting married!

love, joy and amazingly loud, crazy great time at the reception - It was so fun for me to see some things I missed! Plus, the weather cooperated and we loved the drone footage!

ps that we incorporated in our planning. He managed to capture everything we wanted in high picture and sound quality. It seemed like he was always at the right place at the right time. Not even a month after our wedding we had received the blu-ray discs and DVDS in the mail, including the highlight video. We and our families really enjoyed watching the video and are so happy that we found Sebastien to capture our wedding day on film. Work aside, Sebastien is also a really nice person and we enjoyed talking to him. Even our guests mentioned that he was very polite and friendly. He even included some footage that we were not expecting at all. During the cocktail reception he went around asking guests to say something to the camera/us. Turned out to be a big surprise for us and one of the best parts of the video. We highly recommend contacting Sebastien if you are in need of a videographer or even photography services for any event.

was included. Detailed, straight forward and polite. I booked him immediately. He showed up nearly 2 hours before he needed to start filming just to ensure everything was set up correctly and filmed for 6 hours. Provided us with both a highlight video and the complete wedding video. AMAZING work!!! Crystal clear pictures and video with an eye for details and exactly what needed to be filmed during the wedding and reception. I would most definitely recommend him and his talents for anyone needing videography in the DMV!! Thank you for lasting memories Sebastien!!”

er with the video. This is one area of the wedding I think you should not skip, the video. As the bride, you don't get to see your groom walk out or the parent's being seated for even your bridesmaids walking down the aisle. Pictures are very important, but there is something special about seeing your vows being spoken and the way you look at each other, your first dance and all of your guests in motion with video.
Sebastien was very responsive and a pleasure to work with!! Definitely recommend him 100%!

Now after watching my wedding video for the first time yesterday, I can say it was amazing! It was just so great to relive it once again! The quality of image is great (he has good equipment, my husband inquired), he captured all of the important moments of our wedding and did not miss anything (not sure if he ever even took a break!). He was never in the way or too much into our faces or faces of our guests. He would respond to our emails very quickly, which is very important. Overall: great person to work with, high quality product. I would highly recommend Sebastien to anyone!
