Clayton Addison and I teamed up to shoot a wedding a couple of weeks back.  I got to hang out with the groom side while Clayton covered the bride’s side.  Here are just a few of my favorites.  I have to add this was one of the funniest weddings I have ever shot. Congrats to Roy and Sonya!!!!

On the 13th of every month followers of Maria Paula Acuna make a pilgrimage to Our Lady of the Rock, which is located 10 miles outside of California City.

They make this journey each month in hopes to see and even get a picture of the Virgin Mary. There is more to this story so stay tuned because there will be more to come.
