A Spring Engagement at Cantigny Park: Courtney & Mark

post filed in:

Engagement

Courtney & Mark first met the new, old fashion way… online. ; ) While hesitate at first the two ended up messaging each other and after just a couple of weeks, set up a first date!

This was no ordinary first date however… Courtney & Mark planned to meet at the Pac Man bar in Schaumburg! They immediately connected over their love of competition and had one of the best evenings out together.

Just a year and a half later, Mark started to plan the perfect proposal…

July 30, 2023, Mark asked Courtney if she would be game for a day date. Excited for a Sunday afternoon adventure, the two picked up Chipotle, their favorite playlist and headed over to Herrick Lake for a picnic, time with each other, and to soak in the sun. : )

As they enjoyed the afternoon together, Mark turned toward Courtney. He started to tell her how much he loved her and after a series of questions, he asked the most important one, “Will you marry me?”

Courtney was totally surprised! She said, “Yes!” Then was surprised again when BOTH their families popped out to celebrate with them. : )

Courtney & Mark, THANK YOU so much for having me as your engagement & wedding photographer. : ) I loved getting to know you two better, laughing with you as we walked around Cantigny Park and I’m so grateful I got to capture this season of engagement for you.

Thank you for having me. : )

Now, grab a blanket and snuggle up. Your sneak peek is live!!!
