Mr. + Mrs. Anguiano | A Wedding at the Chateau Del Mar in Hickory Hills, IL

October 1, 2019

I first got to know Alberto + Lori after they won my “Free Engagement Session” giveaway during my website’s launch week! I think we were both winners though because I seriously couldn’t have been more excited to be a part of their wedding day!

When we first met and hung out for their engagement session here in Goshen, I quickly realized that this is one of the sweetest couples ever! Lori’s sweet demeanor paired with Alberto’s warm heart is SUCH a great combo!! Basically to know them is to love them! So you can imagine how easy they made my job!

And what made this extra special is that it wasn’t just the joining of Alberto + Lori that we were all celebrating, it was also the joining of Lori’s daughter Lilah! Lori wasn’t sure if she would ever find a man that would fit the mold of what they’d already created with them two, but Alberto stepped in and was the man she didn’t even know could exist. Watching him love on them and seeing them become a unified family was the icing on the cake of a wonderful day!

You might not be able to tell, but this day was actually storming for pretty much the whole time. Thankfully their trust in me and the joy they had together meant that nothing was going to dampen the celebration! And what a celebration it was!!

I’m so thankful to have been able to get to know Lori + Alberto and be a part of their perfect day! Congrats the newlyweds, Mr. + Mrs. Anguiano!

A special thanks to all the vendors who made this day amazing!!
