This blog post is a little more close to the heart as it has to do with my family!

George is my cousin, who I admittedly do not see enough. We both traveled all over when we were younger, always seeming to be in different parts of the world.  Now that we are adults, living three hours away from eachother, we've both been busy with family and work. However, there is something to be said for our relationship. Not just ours, but my other three cousins (his siblings). We could go for years without seeing one another, but once we are together, there is a solid sense of family, love and loyalty. 

When Katie and George asked me if I could be their photographer, I was honored. 

Their wedding day was very much centered around family and those who have become family over the years. Katie is one out of eight children, and George is one out of four, making their wedding party crazy big, but in an incredibly beautiful way. Everyone in the party has a long history with Katie and George, creating this surrounding of sincerity and love. 

Whenever I am around my cousins, there is always a good time to be had! Katie and George's wedding did not disappoint! 

Their wedding ceremony was held at St. Catherine of Alexandria church in Oak Lawn, IL and their reception was held at The William Tell Inn in Countryside. 

I had a hard time picking which images to share from there day, so here's quite a few!
