Wow! Truthfully, I am having a hard time coming up with all of the right words to accurately describe Kortni and Marcus’ Downtown Chicago wedding day. It was breathtaking and absolutely beautiful in every way! The Blackstone Hotel was the perfect location for their grand wedding. It’s a historic hotel filled with incredible architecture… basically a dream location!

What I love about Kortni and Marcus is not only do they have this chic and sophisticated style about them, but they know how to have fun and they’re so down to earth! They also had their two adorable children in their wedding. Marcus had his son, Marcus Jr., be his best man and it was so sweet. I tell you, they are one good looking family!! Kortni looked flawless in her Galia Lahav couture wedding dress. I will forever be obsessed with her dress!

Some of my favorite moments throughout the wedding day was when Kortni helped her daughter Harlee in her flower girl dress. I can only imagine how meaningful that images will be to Harlee when it’s her turn to be a bride one day! Family means so much to Kortni and Marcus and it was so evident throughout the entire wedding day.

Mr. and Mrs. Cooper, I can’t thank you two enough for choosing me to capture your wedding day! I’m still in awe of how amazing everything was, and I’m so humbled to have been chosen to capture these memories for your family!
