What do you photograph and film?
We specialize in quinceañeras and weddings, and we also cover family events, birthdays, community events, and live music. We have been capturing Southern California celebrations since 2009.
Do you offer both photography and video?
Yes. We can cover your event with photography, video, or both, so your whole day is told in one consistent style.
How much do your packages cost?
Every celebration is different, so we build each package around your event. Please request a quote on our Contact page and tell us your date, city, and what you need. We’ll send you options that fit.
How do I book my date?
Contact us with your event date and location to check availability. Your date is reserved only after we receive a signed agreement and the retainer payment. We recommend booking early, especially for spring and summer weekends.
Do you travel?
Yes. We focus on Southern California, including Los Angeles, Orange County, Downey, and Santa Ana, and we travel anywhere in California and Nevada.
Do you speak Spanish?
¡Sí! Our team speaks Spanish and English, so you, your parents, and your whole family can feel comfortable from the first call to the last dance.
When will I receive my photos and video?
We work fast so you can relive your day as soon as possible. Turnaround depends on the size of your event, and we’ll keep you updated along the way.
Where can I see my photos and video?
Your photos and video are delivered in a private online gallery at galleries.jjsebastianphotography.com, where you can view, download, and share them with family and friends. Digital copies of your video on a USB thumb drive are available for an additional fee. For community events, please allow 5 business days for the gallery to be posted. Can’t find your event? Contact us with the event type, date, and city, and we’ll help.
Why is my gallery password-protected?
We lock private galleries to protect our clients’ privacy. If you need your password, call us at (310) 508-9491 or reach us through our Contact page.
Do you offer albums and prints?
Yes. We offer albums in several styles, plus other unique print products you can order right from your online gallery. The sooner you choose your favorite photos, the sooner your album arrives.
What should we wear, and how should we prepare?
Choose outfits that feel like you, and bring any special items such as your tiara, heels, the “last doll”, or family keepsakes. Share your schedule and a list of must-have family photos with us ahead of time. On the day, give yourself extra time for hair and makeup. Relaxed timing always shows in the photos.
For weddings, should we take photos before or after the ceremony?
Either works. Taking portraits before the ceremony means everyone looks fresh and you get to the reception sooner. Plan about 60–90 minutes for formal portraits, and at least 2 hours if we’re going to a second location. We’ll help you plan a timeline that works for your day.
