a marriage off of Route 66

Zeta and I returned to the humidity and the midwest for my older sister, Laura's, wedding. She and Alex were married in a smallish country church in Hamel, Il...right off of the original Route 66 surrounded by corn fields. This was my first experience not being the photographer since all siblings were present in the wedding party. And...well...I kind of loved being on the other side too.


One of the treats of this gathering was the sharing between the two families uniting through this marriage. Alex's family, most originally from Central America, was lively, colorful, and filled with love. Here, my Dad gets a lesson from Jaoquin for their 'El Rey' performance during the reception.
