Feel every moment, every emotion.
Your wedding video, filmed near Bordeaux and delivered in Full HD.
Handheld filming, drone shots, sound captured with a dedicated shotgun microphone.
Narrative teaser and micro-teaser available as options.
Your wedding video is a chronological documentary film of at least ten minutes.
It follows the day in the order you lived it, because that is the order in which
you will relive it: the dress fastened by four hands, the silence just before you
walk in, the sentence your witness cannot quite finish.
I shoot handheld, without a mechanical stabiliser. The image gains in life what it
loses in glide, and above all I can move: follow a gaze as it slips away, walk up
a narrow aisle, stay close enough to catch a breath without ever getting in the
way. The drone is part of the shoot rather than an add-on: I am a DGAC-certified
remote pilot and aerial shots are included in the package.
Before the day, you tell me the running order and the people who matter: the one
not to miss, the one who is going to break down. On the day itself I work with
your photographer and your wedding planner rather than next to them.
Two short formats are available as options, billed individually: a narrative
teaser and a micro-teaser for social media.

I’m based in La Brède, twenty kilometers south of Bordeaux, and most of the weddings I film take place in Gironde, Dordogne, and Lot-et-Garonne. Château Gassies and Château de Castelnaud are among the venues where I’ve filmed before. Knowing in advance where the light falls at eight in the evening, and which way to step out without crossing the photographer’s frame — that ends up showing in the film.
When I’m visiting a new place, I arrive early. That’s the only variable.
For weddings farther away, traveling is part of the job. The last two took me to Tuscany and Provence. The logistics change, but the rest stays the same: the same preparation beforehand, the same filming style, and the same turnaround times.
The drone is part of the shoot, not an optional extra: I am a DGAC-certified drone pilot, and aerial shots are included in the package.
If your wedding takes place outside France, the destination wedding page explains how it is organised.
No “let’s do the entrance again,” no retakes between scenes. What’s in the film happened just once, in front of your guests. That’s also why I arrive early: the only way to be in the right place without having to ask you is to know in advance where it is.
Before editing, let me know your preferences: the background tracks, the song that matters most, and the song for the first slow dance. I’ll edit with those in mind. If a particular image doesn’t seem to fit with a song, I’ll suggest another one in the same vein rather than forcing it. Teasers are edited to royalty-free music so you can share them without any risk.
Filming the exchange of vows and photographing it at the same instant are incompatible gestures: the hand holding the camera is not pressing the shutter. So you choose, or you bring two people. If it is a photographer you are looking
for, my wedding photography work is here.
If you want both, you need two people. While I film, the photography is handled by Julien Boyer, a wedding photographer I work with regularly. You keep one point of contact, one quote, and two people who know how to place themselves without getting in each other’s way, because they have covered weddings together before.
The photo and video duo page explains how it works.
The delivery deadline is written into the contract: sixty days maximum after the wedding. That is a commitment, not an estimate.
Up front, the quote goes out within 48 hours of your enquiry. It details what is included and what is optional, so you can compare it without having to call back.
In between, I stay reachable. The running order firms up as the date approaches, the timings almost always move, and it is better to adjust beforehand than on the day itself.
On delivery, the film arrives in Full HD, with no watermark, in an online gallery where you watch it and download it as many times as you like.

The ceremony sound is captured with a dedicated shotgun microphone, separate from the camera’s built-in mic. It is its own unit, aimed at the voices rather than at the room. It sits as close to you as possible, not on the camera. At an outdoor ceremony, that is the difference between hearing the vows and hearing the wind.
What it changes is audible on the first watch. The vows in full, including the line you said too quietly for the back of the room. A first name spoken at the moment it matters. The three seconds of silence before your witness finds his voice again.
A film with average sound gets watched once, then the volume goes down and music goes over the top. A film where you can hear the voices gets opened again.
The narrative teaser runs three minutes and arrives about six weeks after the wedding. It does not summarise the documentary film, it tells the same day differently: tighter, more cinematic, built for feeling rather than chronology. This is the one you send to the people who could not come.
The micro-teaser runs thirty seconds and arrives about eight days after the wedding, while everyone is still talking about it. Vertical format, edited to royalty-free music so you can post it without risk of a takedown.
Both are ordered individually, on top of the base package. You can take one, both or neither: the documentary film does not depend on them.
The examples are on the ” Experience” page .
If you're looking for a high-quality wedding video, look no further than Sébastien! His attention to detail shone through as he used multiple cameras and a drone to capture our special day. He's a pleasure to work with, always confirming our vision and using his expertise to bring it to life. His personality also stood out to us, as he is incredibly friendly and made us feel so special. What's more, his speed in providing us with not one, but THREE video products makes him one of the best in the business. Thank you Seb, you were INCREDIBLE!
We are extremely pleased with Sebastien's outstanding work at our wedding. From the outset, he listened and understood our expectations in order to capture the essence of our special day. On the wedding day, he was punctual, prepared and discreet, allowing us to experience the event intensely while immortalizing the moments with naturalness. The final video, beautifully edited with a fitting soundtrack, exceeded our expectations, immersing us in the joy and love of the day with every viewing. Sebastien was professional, approachable and creative, helping to make our wedding video unique. We highly recommend him as an exceptional videographer, capable of transforming an event into a memorable work of art. Thank you Sebastien for your dedication and passion.
We chose Sébastien as our wedding video provider and we're delighted with the choice. He was there from start to finish, always smiling and in a good mood. His presence and interpersonal skills on the day enabled us to feel at ease with the camera. The result of his work was perfect, and we relived the day when we saw the video. The shots are top quality, the camerawork perfect, and the sound just as good. We're glad we made this choice, and we recommend Sébastien and his good humor 1000%.
We called on Sébastien's services for our wedding on Saturday, October 5, 2024.
First of all, Sébastien is adorable and a good listener, and right from our first telephone conversation, the feeling was there!
This is one of the most important things, as it will be reflected in the video and photos.
We really appreciated Sébastien's humor, kindness and professionalism from the moment we got ready until the end of the day.
He made us laugh a lot, while at the same time being very discreet, resulting in some very smiling natural images/photos.
Indeed, preparations can be intimidating, but thanks to him we were very comfortable.
We were pleasantly surprised by his ability to work with our photographer, whom he didn't know.
All our guests complimented us on the way he worked and were very surprised to learn that he was meeting our photographer for the first time.
They complemented each other throughout the day.
We love the work we've done, and our video, which makes us relive our wedding day with the same emotion.
We recommend Sébastien to all our friends and family and will use him again for our next event 🙂
The base package is €1,950 including VAT. It covers the day from preparations through to the end of the cocktail hour, with travel included anywhere in the Gironde, and includes the documentary film of at least ten minutes. Evening coverage, travel outside the department, the narrative teaser and the micro-teaser are quoted separately. The quote goes out within 48 hours and itemises every line. If you want full-day coverage through to the last dance, just ask.
The package includes filming the preparations through the end of the cocktail reception, drone footage
, audio recorded with a shotgun mic, editing, and a documentary film of at least ten minutes. The film is delivered in Full HD, without a logo, via an online gallery where you can view, share, and download it. The narrative teaser and micro-teaser can be ordered individually as add-ons.
Yes, always, and it is included in the package. I am a DGAC-certified remote pilot, Category A2, with the STS-01 and STS-02 standard scenarios. STS-01 and STS-02 are European standard scenarios, defined at EU level. STS-01 authorises flight in a populated environment over a controlled ground area, which is the configuration of a wedding venue. Away from weddings I film construction sites across France and run a network of fifty remote pilots.
Ideally, six months before the date. That’s the timeframe that gives you the most options, especially for a Saturday between May and September. Booking early isn’t just about securing a date—it also gives you time to discuss the details, the venues, and the people who matter most. If your wedding is coming up soon, ask anyway—there are often dates still available.
Five questions are worth asking everyone, including me.
How long until the film is delivered, and is it written into the contract? Here, sixty days maximum, contractual.
How is the film handed over? An online gallery, no USB drive.
Do you carry professional liability insurance? I do, and it is mandatory to practise.
How many camera bodies do you bring? Three, to cover overheating, a malfunction or breakage.
Are you filming with a drone, and what qualifications do you have?
These are two distinct crafts producing two distinct results. A photograph freezes a moment; a film restores movement and, above all, sound: the voices, the vows, the laughter. Filming and photographing at the same instant is impossible, the hand holding the camera is not pressing the shutter. If you want both, you need
two people: I film, Julien Boyer photographs.
No later than 60 days after the wedding—the exact deadline is specified in the contract. The quote will be sent within 48 hours of your request. Upon delivery, the video will be available in Full HD, without a logo, in an online gallery: you can watch it, share it with your guests, and download it as many times as you like. No USB drive to store or lose.
