McKinley and Jeffrey’s wedding at The Cooper Estate was straight out of a dream. Think elegance meets nature, with a touch of magic and a whole lot of heart. Hidden in the lush greenery of South Florida, The Cooper Estate feels like a secret garden—and it was the perfect backdrop for a day full of love, laughter, and gorgeous details.

This venue is one of those places that stops you in your tracks. From the towering trees and tropical foliage to the historic coral rock walls and cozy, tucked-away ceremony spaces, every inch of it feels special. It’s like stepping into another world—peaceful, romantic, and very unique. McKinley and Jeffrey really leaned into the vibe, letting the natural beauty shine while adding in their own sweet touches: delicate florals, soft candlelight, and personalized signs that gave everything a warm, thoughtful feel.

Cortiella Photography brought the whole day to life in the most beautiful way. Her work is more than just photography—it’s storytelling. Every photo feels intentional, capturing not only how the day looked, but how it felt. From golden hour portraits to those candid, joy-filled moments between friends and family, every shot is filled with warmth and emotion.
