Monte Bello Estate Wedding Day || Tori & Matt

A DREAM Monte Bello Estate wedding day!

I have only been dreaming of photographing a wedding here after second shooting for a dear friend back in the day (wink, wink at Kara, lol). This venue has been a top, top favorite of mine for so long for quite a few reasons! The gorgeous grounds, amazing team, romantic lighting, high-end amenities, and tucked away in the suburbs… What more could you ask for!

Matt and Tori are high school sweethearts! They didn’t have dates for a dance so they went together and have been together 10 years. They got engaged on Christmas Eve in downtown Frankfort. How romantic! I met Tori through her sister Jess who is a hair stylist at Fuse Salon. I am so grateful for Jess’s recommendation to her sister as I had the best time photographing these two and their love story.

Tori is the last of three sisters to get married, and she had her moms wedding gown altered so she could wear it for her reception dress! This was so special to see, and I loved how much these two incorporated their parents into their wedding day. I could’ve spent hours just photographing these two through The Monte Bello Estate’s property… But I figured I better let them enjoy their wedding day.

Cheers to Tori & Matt!
