If you’ve ever dreamed of a wedding that perfectly blends elegant castle vibes with cozy, tucked-away nature retreat, then Tori & Matt’s Stroudsmoor Country Inn wedding is going to be right up your alley! These two amazing humans—both Army Blackhawk pilots, might I add—had a day filled with love, fun, and a whole lot of stunning moments. 

Their Love Story Coming Full Circle at Stroudsmoor Country Inn

Stoudsmoor wasn’t just any venue for Matt & Tori. This is where they attended their very first wedding together as a couple! How cute is that?! They fell in love with the venue’s blend of elegant and natural vibes, so when it came time for their own wedding, it felt like the perfect full-circle moment.

And honestly, can you blame them? The venue feels like something out of a fairytale with its castle-like architecture, stunning views of the mountains, and peaceful tucked-away charm. The summer camp vibes were cozy AF, but make no mistake—it was all elegance and romance when it came to their big day.

Tori & Matt’s Stroudsmoor Country Inn Wedding

Tori and Matt chose not to do a first look, which meant when Matt saw Tori walking down the aisle… let’s just say, there were tears. She was absolutely radiant, and the emotion on Matt’s face was EVERYTHING. Talk about a moment that had all of us in our feelings! Tori, on the other hand, did a first look with her brothers and dad – that was so freakin’ sweet!

She also gifted all her special ladies (moms and grandma) some thoughtful presents—it’s those little moments that show how caring and thoughtful they are. And their grandmas were the flower girls, as well, which was SO CUTE!

One thing I absolutely adored about them is how silly and sweet they are together. They were also total troopers when it came to photos, and we had the best time capturing all the magic! 

Oh, and Tori surprised us all by changing into a second dress for the reception (which was an absolute rager of a party that ended the night)! A second dress is a good idea if you want to switch things up and be even more comfortable for dancing the night away!

About Stroudsmoor Country Inn

Stroudsmoor Country Inn is honestly a photographer’s dream. Between the elegant castle-like venue and the stunning outdoor ceremony space, the options for breathtaking photos are endless! Not to mention, it’s so conveniently located—close to restaurants and accommodations for out-of-town guests, but still feels very private. That balance of elegance and nature was the perfect backdrop for all of Tori and Matt’s timeless and classy details.

The ceremony space with a stunning iron dome gazebo was decked out with gorgeous florals that added the perfect touch of romance. The venue also has a beautiful overlook perfect for panoramic wedding portraits!

The elegant reception space is large enough to host weddings of up to 350 guests. The couple had a beautiful sit down reception with lots and lots of dancing!

Sweet Words From the Couple

And Tori and Matt’s review of me? I’m not crying, you are. They were an absolute dream to work with and totally reinforced why I love doing what I do:

“Choosing Katarina as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our special day! From our initial inquiry to receiving our sneak peek photos, Katarina has been an absolute joy to work with. Her responsiveness and genuine care for our experience made us feel incredibly valued and cared for throughout the entire process. 

Katarina went above and beyond in every aspect. Not only did she capture the most beautiful and meaningful moments of our wedding day, but she also surprised us with thoughtful treats and small gestures that added an extra layer of warmth and personalization to our experience. From start to finish, she was always there to answer our questions, address any concerns, and enthusiastically listen to our ideas. 

Her communication skills are exceptional. She kept us informed and involved at every stage, ensuring that we felt comfortable and confident in her abilities. Katarina’s professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every shot she took—she has a true talent for capturing the emotions and candidness of each moment! 

We are absolutely thrilled with the results of her work and can’t wait to see our full gallery in a few weeks. The sneak peak photos we received are beyond our expectations, and they beautifully tell the story of our wedding day. It’s hard to believe that there is still a whole gallery coming our way!! 

Katarina has a remarkable ability to capture not just images, but memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only extremely talented but also genuinely cares about creating a personalized and unforgettable experience for you, Katarina is the one. She is more than a photographer, she is a built-in best friend. We cannot recommend her highly enough!”
