July 21, 2014:
The 4th of July was Felicia and my 5th anniversary, but I sadly left my wife and headed up to celebrate with Andrew and Dana for their intimate backyard wedding at their home in Pacific Palisades. The sun was blazing overhead, but the coastal winds kept us cool as we headed down to the beach for a quick pre ceremony portrait session. On the way to the sand I saw the pure Californian vantage point in the picture above we quickly stop and made a few images.
Once we were back up at their home, they celebrated their day with just a few of their closest friends, gorgeous details and some beautiful looking food. Of course, it being 4th of July, it ended with sparklers and both Andrew and Dana in the pool!
Congrats to you both!
This dude was just awesome, he watch the whole event from over his fence and yelled down his congratulations.
The first co-ed bouquet toss we witnessed: things got pretty intense!
The day before the wedding, we gathered to watch 
Sebastien carried his late grandfather’s Laguiole folding knife all day as a way to remember him.
Because when your mother says your tie needs ironed, it needs ironed. Even if you’re wearing it.
Sebastien’s brother Fred spared no effort to make the groom’s ride a very special one indeed!
France practices 
One awesome French child playing on his own. What is it about French children that make them so incredibly adorable?!
My new assistant Manon.
At about 1am, everyone headed outside for a tradition where the groom’s parents hat and culottes were burned in a frying pan. I believe it was supposed to symbolize the parents being relieved from their duties when their last child gets married.
Groups of people then took turns jumping over the flaming pan. It was crazy awesome.
