- BrianVideographerI was born in San Francisco. Ever since I was little I have loved photography/ videography. I bought my first camera at the age of 7 and haven't stopped taking photos and videos since. In 2021 I took my love for photography and turned professional. This past year, I can proudly say I took over ten thousand photos and do not plan on stopping any time soon. I would love you to be a part of my journey in the new year.
- Sebastien ManceauOwnerWhen I got my hands on a camera at a young age, I realized that I loved to capture moments as they happened. Beautiful moments amongst friends and family that would have otherwise faded into memory. I discovered a passion for telling stories through film, capturing special events with care so they could be enjoyed long into the future. You can count on us every step of the way to support you, to be there when it matters, and to capture beautiful video so we can tell your love story back to you genuinely and authentically.
- KatieVideographerI have been taking pictures since I was little. It started with the most random photos. That camera went with me everywhere. Taking photos is something I love to do, especially when I travel. I've got to capture all of the amazing places I've been to. My goal is to always capture that special moment, either with a picture or a video. I think video sometimes gets that raw reaction to things that photos cannot get. It is truly beautiful.

We have nothing but incredibly good things to say about Sebastien and his work. There aren’t very many people in the world anymore that you can say are genuine, but Sebastien was nothing short of it. As soon as we met him and talked, our personalities all meshed well and felt like it was meant to be to have him film our wedding. We are a very easy going couple and did not have any expectations or requests for what we wanted or needed exactly, so we decided to leave it up to Sebastien as an artist to create something special and he did just that.
It was very easy to communicate with him via email and phone. There was never a time where we felt like it was hard to get ahold of him. He created a proposal for us that was very easy to access which also made it really easy to make payment. After the wedding we realized that we forgot to ask for the raw footage, so we emailed Sebastien and he got back to us right away to let us know he could still send it!
The day of the wedding Sebastien arrived promptly with a smile on his face per usual and made everyone feel so comfortable. Our photographer was someone he had previously worked with so if you need any help with finding a photographer Sebastian surely has someone good in mind. We found Sebastien through our photographer so it all worked out perfectly. The entire wedding was an absolute blast and he definitely tagged along and partied with us. We even went as far as asking if he’d like to stay after filming to continue having a good time (: We caught him laughing and joking with us and my family and friends, as if he had known us for a life time. There was no stress in any of the filming it all felt very easy and natural because he made it that way. He truly was an amazing person to work with and we would recommend him every time to anyone in need. Again, thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for people on their special day!

What can I say — choosing Interstellar Films was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, thoughtful, and so easy to navigate. Sebastien made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, and he captured every beautiful and meaningful moment of our day perfectly.
When we received our wedding films (with such a reasonable turnaround time!), we were completely blown away. Every shot, every transition, every piece of storytelling was absolutely stunning — it felt like we were reliving our wedding all over again. Watching it brought my husband and me to tears of joy and gratitude.
We feel so lucky and blessed to have had Sebastien be part of such an important chapter in our lives. His incredible talent and genuine passion truly shine through in every detail.
If any of our friends or family ever ask for a wedding videographer, Interstellar Films will always be our number one recommendation. 💖

Sebastien was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. His initial questionnaire helped us clarify what we were looking for, and on the day of the event, he captured everything effortlessly in the background without disrupting the flow. He managed to document not just the big moments, but also the emotions and small details that made the day special. The final video beautifully captures the atmosphere, emotions, and meaningful moments of our day, and we’re so excited to watch it again and again to relive those memories.

Interstellar was amazing to work with from start to finish. Their pre-wedding survey and communication leading up to the day were thorough and thoughtful, making us feel completely at ease. On the wedding day, they came well-prepared, knew exactly how to capture the right shots, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. They also worked seamlessly alongside our photographer without ever getting in each other’s way. We’re so excited to see the final video and would absolutely recommend Interstellar to any couple looking for a talented and professional videography team.

Sebastian did an absolutely phenomenal job with our wedding video. We cannot say enough positive things. From the meetings beforehand to make sure he captured everything we wanted to the day of where he worked flawlessly with our photographer to capture our big day. Sebastian was so kind, thoughtful, and so so patient with us and truly made us feel important from start to finish. He worked with us the whole day without worrying about hours, he was more concerned with getting us the right footage which was amazing. We still watch our video all the time and couldn’t be happier with the outcome and final product.

“The right vendor crew will support your wedding like a family.” This is something Sebastian said in his first call with us, and it remained true until well after our wedding date. What initially drew us to Interstellar films was the filming style. We didn’t want an overly dramatic video, but we also didn’t wanted to reflect our own personal style. Sebastian listened, and with superb patience attended to all our questions/requests/anxieties. He delivered a tailored experience for us: filming on multiple days for multiple events (joint Indian/Russian wedding), in multiple locations, and coordinated well with our photographer. In the end, our wedding video turned out perfect. Then, when one of our parents requested an edit, Sebastian didn’t bat an eye. Interstellar really did support us like a family, with guidance, empathy, and sincerity, all for a very reasonable price. We couldn’t be happier!

Much like any memorable day, our wedding day was one we did not want to forget. Interstellar Films went above and beyond to capture all the amazing moments, beginning to end! Both Tom and Sebastien were amazing to work with and made the process, even before our big day, so seamless. Tom went to great efforts to get the big and small details of the day which made us able to relive the day all over again, which was exactly what we wanted. Thank you Interstellar Films for such an incredible service! We highly recommend them to all looking for the best on their special day!

Sebastien is an absolute rockstar. He brought an amazingly creative eye and a really positive, upbeat and comfortable vibe to our wedding day, and then delivered absolutely beautiful results. He was so easy to work with and extremely responsive leading up to the day if I had questions or things to coordinate about. He also did such a good job at reading us as a couple and the sentiment of our day when it came to editing things together and choosing the right music to bring it all together. We feel so lucky to have found him!

We are blown away by the work of our wedding videographer and his amazing team! From the moment they arrived, they were incredibly fun, professional, and easy to work with — they made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and captured every special moment with such care and creativity.
The final video and teaser completely exceeded our expectations. The teaser alone looked like a cinematic movie trailer — beautifully edited, emotional, and captivating from start to finish. Watching it back gave us chills and brought all the emotions of the day flooding back. The quality, attention to detail, and storytelling in every shot were absolutely next level.
Our family and friends can’t stop talking about how stunning the videos turned out. We feel so lucky to have had this team document our day — they preserved memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime.
If you’re looking for a wedding videographer who is both incredibly talented and an absolute joy to work with, look no further. This team is the real deal. Truly 10/10!

Everything you could hope for! Sebastien was a constant professional and despite some very unexpected rain he wasn't slowed at all. He was easy to work with, and was helpful to others whenever possible, and was just generally personable and chill with all staff and guests.
Our videos are absolutely excellent and we can't stop rewatching them! They truly capture the feeling of the day and bring us back to those moments each time. We are very pleased and are confident you will be too with your Intersetellar film!

We hired Interstellar Films for full-day wedding videography and were so happy with the experience overall. The team, Brian and Katie, blended in seamlessly with our guests and genuinely felt like part of the celebration. They brought such a fun, upbeat energy to the day, and made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera — which is no easy task!
We haven’t received our film yet but are pretty darn confident it is going to be amazing! We’re excited to relive our day through their lens and would recommend Interstellar Films for their creativity, professionalism, and friendly presence.

We worked with Interstellar to film our wedding video and they did not disappoint!
Sebastien was so great to work with from the beginning. He took time to understand what we both wanted captured in the film, the music, and overall vibe. We were so happy with the end product as it very felt true to us.
The day of we had some changes to the logistics of our timeline and he easily worked around it and overall just made sure we were at ease the day of. We felt so comfortable in front of the camera and it was such a pleasure working with him throughout the whole process. Highly recommend booking for your big day!

We LOVED having Sebastien do our videography. I was initially hesitant about a videographer at all, but he came highly recommended and now we can see why! He is the consummate professional, able to capture candid moments in beautiful light. We loved his highlight reel of our wedding so much that we bought the rest of the footage, and we’re so glad we did—he captured the tenderness of the speeches, the excitement of the first dance, and the whirlwind beauty of the ceremony (it was literally very windy and he made it look gorgeous). We also heard positive feedback about him from our other vendors—you always want someone who can work well with your team!

Sebastien was such an awesome vendor to have at our wedding. My husband and I just received our folks, and we are truly in awe. We can’t believe how Sebastien created something so beautiful for 2 camera shy people. It can be nerve wracking to hire a stranger to film your special day, and sometimes films come off over rehearsed. We wanted a videographer who was able to make our film beautiful in quality and aesthetic, but still preserve the rawness of emotions and capture the personality of each person filmed. We are so happy we chose Sebastien, he was very professional but also incredibly personable. He made my husband and I comfortable from the minute he arrived. We can’t recommend him enough!

Sebastien is truly one of the best wedding videographers we’ve had the pleasure of working with—and coming from a DJing family, I’ve seen my fair share of wedding professionals. Despite being a one-man team, he seemed to be everywhere at once, capturing every important moment with precision and artistry. The videos he created aren’t just recordings; they’re timeless keepsakes that transport us back to our special day every time we watch them. It was an absolute pleasure working with Sebastien, and we wholeheartedly recommend him and Interstellar Films to anyone looking to beautifully preserve their most cherished moments.

Sebastien is fantastic to work with. Attentive, accommodating, kind, skilled, has great vision, and the final wedding footage he delivered absolutely blew us away! From our initial consultation, Sebastien took the time to truly understand our hopes for capturing our special day. He was incredibly responsive to all our questions and requests, making the entire planning process feel seamless and stress-free.
On the day of the wedding, Sebastien was a calm and professional presence. He worked discreetly, capturing all the important moments without ever feeling intrusive, and worked really well with the photographer, trading off timing and positions without issue and without having to “repeat” moments. His artistic eye and attention to detail were evident throughout the day, and we knew we were in capable hands.
Sebastien perfectly captured the emotion, joy, and love of our wedding day. We've watched the videos he delivered us countless times and each time we are transported back to that magical day. If you are looking for a talented and dedicated wedding videographer who will go above and beyond to create a stunning keepsake of your special day, look no further than Sebastien! We wholeheartedly recommend him and are so grateful for the incredible job he did.

From our very first phone call, we knew Sebastien was the perfect choice as our videographer. His calming presence throughout the chaos that weddings can bring—both during planning and on the big day—was exactly what we needed. He took the time to understand our story, personalities, likes, dislikes, special moments, and family history, all for a reason. Working with him felt like working with an old friend.
We had a few specific shot requests, but mostly, we asked for something timeless and elegant while giving Sebastien the creative freedom to work his magic. On our wedding day, I was anxious and stressed, but Sebastien's patience and care helped ground me. Despite a bit of chaos, he remained poised and calm. He blended in so seamlessly that there were moments when I forgot he was even a vendor.
We didn’t want stuffy or unnatural footage. Instead, we had a blast filming spontaneous scenes—running, walking, dancing, and more—around our venue. I had high expectations based on the samples I’d seen, but nothing prepared me for what we received. To say we were blown away is an understatement. Our wedding film is not just a video—it’s a story. Every shot, voice-over, song, and transition was absolutely flawless. Honestly, it looks like something straight out of a movie.
Those dreamy wedding videos you see on social media always seemed like a high-priced fantasy, but Sebastien delivered exactly that. Our video captured every aspect of our wedding day and our love for each other and our guests in such a beautiful, thoughtful, and artistic way.
I can't recommend Sebastien enough. I am beyond grateful to have these memories captured so incredibly. His work is truly exceptional. Five stars doesn’t even begin to cover the quality and craftsmanship of his work.

We interviewed several videographers before choosing to work with Interstellar Films. My conversation with Sebastien gave me the impression that he is very passionate about the work he does. Watching other videos he has produced, showed his attention to detail and an uncanny ability to bring out the connection between a couple and their family/friends.
When we received our video after post production, it was amazing. The reason I wanted a video is the first place was to have something to share with family and friends that were unable to attend our special day. I feel like Interstellar was able to capture our emotions and show the joy we all experienced that day.
The aerial shots of the coastline really brought out the beauty of our venue. Interstellar Films’s ability to use drones in their production really sets them apart from other vendors. The high quality of the images, the sound - everything was professional and reflected Interstellar Films standards.
We love our wedding videos, our family and friends have enjoyed seeing our big day. These are videos that we will continue to watch over the years, the work really captured our love, our connection, our family/friends and all of the beautiful emotions of our wedding day.
Thank you Interstellar Films -

My daughter and her fiancé chose to marry in California but lived out of state for work. As the mother of the bride living in California, I assisted by vetting vendors. I set out to find a videographer and wanted a great one as my future son-in-law is a decerning photographer, thus I knew he would share my wish to hire a firm that could make an exquisite cinematic story.
The couple chose Nestldown as the venue and due to the property’s vastness, we believed hiring a videographer with experience photographing this location made sense. I started with the venue’s preferred videographer list, reviewing for each videographer provided, websites and Instagram posts filmed at Nestldown. When I got to Interstellar Films I became immediately interested, their website was clean and modern, and the Instagram shorts films were so captivating I began watching all their videos. What attracted my attention was how Sebastien Manceau, owner of Interstellar Films can create videos with a very personal storytelling style, using intimate moments for each couple using nuances, and creative style that display the unique connection and energy that exists between the couple and their friends/family. Setting up a first call with Sebastien was simple, and I was happy to find the wedding date was still available on his calendar. He took the time to explain the different packages and listened as I conveyed the artsy feel, I hoped the videos would include. Furthermore, he understood that I wanted these videos to show a melding of two families and cultures (my son-in-law and his family are from El Salvador). On the day of the wedding, Sebastien arrived on time, had his equipment in hand, and was the ultimate professional. He made everyone immediately comfortable with his warm personality and calm demeanor. Collaborating with our photographer, Chloe Ramirez, he captured the most important parts of the day, the vows, speeches, and candid looks, and created films that are an absolute joy to watch. I am particularly pleased we selected the package which included the teaser film, it is super creative and can be shared via email or on Instagram.
We highly recommend Sebastien Manceau and Interstellar Films. Sebastien provides fantastic service from start to finish. The couple is thrilled to have these quality videos to remember their day.
Hiring Sebastien Interstellar Films was the perfect decision. Do not hesitate, book Interstellar Films if they are available.

My partner and I had debated for a while over whether we wanted to hire a videographer for our wedding. I am an extremely picky person, which made choosing vendors for our wedding all the more difficult. We ultimately decided that having a videographer would be worth the cost. I probably looked at over 100 different videographer’s, before I came across Interstellar.
We hopped on a call with Sebastien and could immediately tell that he’s incredibly passionate about what he does. Hiring him was a no brainer. He puts so much thought into the process, and it was completely stress free.
On the wedding day, Sebastien was there, and also not there, in all the ways we could have asked for. It never felt like he was overbearing, or like there was a camera in our face. He was involved in a way that felt comfortable, considerate, and respectful. I hate hugging people, and I gladly hugged him at the end of the night, haha. There were parts of the day where my husband was visibly stressed, and Sebastien was always there to offer words of comfort, which put my husband at ease.
After the wedding, Sebastien was very communicative regarding the completion date of the videos, which we appreciated. Once we received all of the videos, we were so blown away. All of his work exceeded any expectations we had. We’re so glad that we decided to book with Interstellar, because now we have several beautiful videos that we can watch on our anniversary, for years to come.
Simply put, Sebastien is a man written by a woman - he’s a joy to be around, and if you’re getting married, you need to book him immediately! He’s the ultimate hype man.

Sebastien is extremely professional, and has been helpful with shaping how we wanted our wedding film to be. He worked very well with our photographers and coordinator and was very flexible throughout the wedding day. He went with the flow of our wedding day and always made sure to keep us comfortable with all the shots that were taken.
The final wedding films were very well done and we loved the final product. He was very communicative and fast to respond when we asked for revisions as well. We would highly recommend Sebastien to our friends!

My husband and I got married in April 2024 and had the pleasure of working with Sebastien! We were back and forth on whether we wanted video for our wedding, and honestly I am SO happy that we did!! Sebastien did such an amazing job at capturing our special day. We requested for him to record a fun “NFL game day” video of the groom and groomsmen walking into the venue before getting ready and he exceeded our expectations! The best part about having Sebastian as our wedding videographer is how he utilizes advanced technology to send me my wedding video. It wasn’t sent just as a clip in my email for me to download… he sent it in a way where I have an app on my phone Home Screen! This is so convenient because I don’t have to spend time looking through my files on my computer just to bring up my video. He also separated the video in categories for me, so if I’m looking for speeches, it’s super accessible! I love the convenience of being able to watch my wedding videos anytime I want right from my phone! Thank you so much Sebastien for creating lifelong memories for my husband and I!! I truly cannot thank you enough!!!

Working with Sebastien was a dream!! His professionalism, care for the us, camera quality, candid shots throughout the day, the way he made us feel comfortable, and having multiple angles of almost every shot are just a few of the reasons we would highly recommend him. The audio was clear, he made sure to capture all the right lighting, and he focused on all the details big and small. Also, we loved how our vow audio and the speeches were in the background of some shots, which added to the perfect flow of our wedding video. We get to relive our day because of him!

Sebastien and his team was everything we were hoping for and more! Not only did Interstellar seamlessly integrated to our day of the wedding but helped us really take in our special day. I know it isn't easy to be present all day with a crazy schedule but sitting down and working with him made us feel comfortable that we were in good hands and watching our video just feels like we're reliving the day over and over, seeing all the details we weren't able to see. Can't not say enough how much it meant to us and I'm sure even our guests that they added so much more to be a part of our wedding. We knew right away we wanted to work with them and it was the best and easiest choice we made.

There are no words to describe how amazing it was working with Sebastien. He NAILED IT! Our videos turned out amazing and he absolutely exceeded expectations. Everything was perfect: the clips he chose, the music, the overall vibe. From the first time we chatted with him he was so clear, communicative and professional. Working with him on the day of the wedding was also a breeze. You really felt like you were working with a pro and we felt super comfortable around him and had fun spending time with him. He didn't let any moments go to waste. He made use of even the every single moment even the time it takes for us to walk from one photo spot to the next was a potential shot for him. We couldn't have asked for a better videographer to capture such an important day for us.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Sebastien and the team at Interstellar Films. They were an absolute dream to work with from start to finish! From the very beginning, Sebastien was exceptionally responsive, addressing every question we had with care and attention, ensuring we felt confident and prepared leading up to our wedding day. We also appreciated how proactive he was in communicating and working with our other vendors and coordinators.
You could tell they truly cared about capturing every moment of our special day. On the day of the wedding, we worked with Brian and Katie who were friendly and professional, making us feel completely at ease. Without being intrusive, they did a remarkable job capturing candid moments while also giving great suggestions on posing that we appreciated. They kept the energy positive and light, and their guidance helped make the entire day flow smoothly.
We loved the final wedding teaser and film we received that captured the spirit of the evening. Sebastien was very detailed in his creative process and collaborating with us. We had a few specific edits in mind, and Sebastien was incredibly accommodating, making those changes swiftly and seamlessly. We're so grateful for how everything turned out and highly recommend Interstellar Films for your videography needs!

My husband and I are truly grateful to have found Sebastien for our wedding videography. As a couple, we can be quite awkward in front of cameras, but Sebastien's direction and fun personality made the experience so much more comfortable and enjoyable.
The final video was absolutely beautiful. It perfectly captured the essence of our day and serves as a cherished reminder of those special moments. Watching it brought me to tears all over again and put a huge smile on my husband's face.
I highly recommend Interstellar Films for your wedding film!

Sebastien was beyond amazing, he made us feel so comfortable, he was great with our dogs and really just was a huge part in making our day all we wanted it to be. We didn't have a normal "exit" in mind and he embraced our idea and helped it come to life. If I could give more than five stars, I 100% would. Thank you again!

The entire interstellar team was absolutely (and continues to be) incredible to work with! They helped make my husband and I’s wedding day so seamless. We just received our video back and MY GOODNESS it is a pure work of art. Being able to relive our wedding day over & over for the rest of our lives was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process.

Sebastien is an incredibly talented individual. During our initial phone call I could tell how wonderful of a person he was and how he wanted to capture the most important parts of our wedding and create art that puts you right back in that moment with all of the wonderful emotions. He is so genuine and kind, truly cares about connection and is so easy to work with. The day of the wedding went incredibly smooth, he is so advanced and prepared, and goes above and beyond to produce incredible films. It was an absolute joy for him to be present on our special day, he made things feel so comfortable and fun. I can’t count how many times I’ve watched my films since they’ve arrived. Also, not only is he great and nice and funny and amazing at his job, he is also fast! I got my films before the expected arrival which was a wonderful surprise. He really cares guys, do yourself a favor and book him! He is worth it!

I would give Interstellar Films 6 stars if I could!
I met Sebastien at wedding I was a bridesmaid in last year and when planning for my own wedding, he was the obvious choice. Each time we met with him, he brought the energy and always made us feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Thanks to Interstellar Films, we get to re-live our wedding day anytime that we want. Each video he shared captured the raw emotion, our loved ones and the beauty of the day. He took the time to understand our vision and what we wanted out of our day. I can't wait to look back on them each anniversary and as we grow older.
Not to mention, the quality of our videos are unmatched, both the sound and visuals were TOP tier. I really could go on and on but his work speaks for itself - STELLAR!

Working with Sebastien elevated our wedding experience! I don’t even know where to begin. Sebastien is not only professional and an expert at what he does! He really made our entire bridal party feel at ease with the entire process. He is such a kind hearted and genuine person and really made the experience much more fun and light hearted! The end results of our wedding video was phenomenal. I could not have asked for a better videographer!

Working with Sebastian and his team is an absolute DREAM! They made the process leading up to our wedding so incredibly easy, and on the day of the wedding, the team felt like friends who were just there enjoying the day with us while capturing the magic of everything so organically. We just got our videos back from them and they immediately transported me back to that day. If you are thinking about working with Interstellar, this is your sign to DO IT!

Sebastien was such pleasure to work with. Right off the bat we appreciated his open and clear communication style. There is nothing more helpful during the stress of planning a wedding than a vendor who responds promptly and extensively. Whenever we had a question or concern we could always depend on Sebastien. It almost felt like he was available 24/7!
Our wedding day was such a blast. Sebastien is a consummate professional. He showed up early to get drone footage of our first look cliffside spot so we wouldn't need to scramble during first look. We're still in awe at the footage he captured. Throughout the day, we appreciated the pep talks here and there, the calm and fun tone with which he was able to direct a scene, or the ability to know when to just melt into the background and capture our moment. We also had two photographers following us around and it could have easily felt like too much, but, we were very glad he was able to easily work with them and keep up the good vibes!
The videos he delivered to us were everything we could have asked for! He captured every moment we cared about and more. His editing really showed off the emotions we and our guests experienced that day. After the fact, we ended up asking Sebastien for some footage for our two additional ethnic ceremonies. Being the ever ready professional, he had them turned around to us IN A DAY. We now know that we could not have hired a better videographer for our day. We cannot recommend him enough.

Sebastien went above and beyond as our wedding videographer! He made us feel so comfortable during the big day, made us laugh, and gave us helpful tips during the shoots. Our wedding video came before the promised timeline so that was an extra plus! The video captured all the things we wanted and made us relive the big day every time we watched it. We would definitely recommend Sebastien for anyone looking to capture a special moment.

Working with Sebastien & Brian was an absolute pleasure, and we're beyond happy with the final results of our wedding videos. When we were searching for a videographer, it was really important for us to find someone who could capture the humor, happiness, and comfort of both our relationship and our wedding. Interstellar really took the time to get to know us a couple, and their understanding of us really shines through in their videos.
They were incredibly helpful in having a point of view and directing us to make sure that we got the best shots and felt comfortable despite us not exactly being movie stars.
We also really appreciated how they were flexible with their hours on the day of, ensuring they captured everything, as opposed to needing to squeeze them into an 8 or 10 hour window.
