Last Saturday I was out at Camp Emanuel Heights in Creston to photograph Anthony and Natalie’s wedding. They met while working at the camp during the summer of 2011. Anthony is from East LA and Natalie is from the very rural town of Shandon. Anthony is good friends with my son Zack and knowing that all this young couple have is love, I volunteered to photograph their home grown wedding. To my knowledge most everything was donated by friends and family to give them a wonderful wedding day.

| One of the most special moments was just before the ceremony when, with out seeing each other, the bride and groom gave up a special prayer while they held hands around an oak tree. |
