MY APPROACH

Real Light, Real Moments

I'm Sebastian, based between Portland and Vancouver. I've been behind a camera since my film days, and that habit of watching closely instead of directing has never left — it's just how I shoot weddings now.

No forced poses, no long shot lists. I follow the day as it happens and edit it warmly afterward. What you get back is a gallery that looks like your wedding, not a stranger's idea of one.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER

I'm Sebastian, based between Portland and Vancouver. I picked up a camera long before it was my job, and that early habit — paying attention, waiting for the unscripted moment — is still how I work. Fewer poses, more patience. You'll get a gallery that looks like your day actually felt, not like a performance of it.
