Sarah and Clint (wedding – Westcliffe, CO)

I love how small Colorado Springs is — it’s a fairly large city, but really I love that somehow each person I meet is connected to someone else I know, or so it seems anyway. This was the case for Sarah and Clint. I had met Sarah previously through a friend and when she called me to ask about wedding photography, we didn’t put two and two together right away. It wasn’t until she told me she was hiring Smash Events (Ashlee is a dear friend of mine) and she’s known another close friend of mine, Julie for most of her life, finally we realized we had once met before and we only lived a few houses away from one another.

He was there through the breakups, the drama, the football games, the car trouble, the concerts… and even up to his wedding day we kept in touch. Always a constant friend in my life. Audrey and I became fast friends our Sophomore year and spent hours upon hours in our school’s darkroom developing film and making photos for our yearbook all while rocking out to Beastie Boys and Cake. We worked together at McDonald’s and went through the normal friendship drama as all girls do. In […]
