Alfredo and Mariezel: Rockton, IL Wedding Photography

A stark contrast to the towering skyscrapers and busy streets of Chicago, just two hours north, a few miles shy of the Wisconsin border, lies an open expanse of rolling hills and greenery as far as the eye can see. Blooming apple trees and soft breezes greet your sun-kissed skin. Orchard Ridge Farms has "spring wedding" written all over it. 

And honestly, Alfredo and Mariezel couldn't have asked for a better day.

These two have quite the love story—something plenty of the guests may have been inclined to call a "love 'mystery.'" Keeping their relationship under wraps for the better part of three years, the two made the big announcement to friends, family, and colleagues just five months before the wedding. Five months! But if there was ever anyone who could pull it off, as you can clearly see below, it was Mariezel. 

Congratulations once again, lovebirds!
