Katie & Clint
Private Home, Aspen
This couple is incredibly special to me. Kate and Clint endured the most difficult tragedy imaginable and chose to heal together, rebuild together, finding a way forward. Our community wrapped our collective arms around them and filled them with love and hope for their future. Their long awaited dream wedding happened and it a perfect day and such a joy filled occasion. Kate and Clints dream wedding came true! At the end of the night they told me it was the best days of their lives and they would not have changed a thing!

The story of the dress, told by Tara Marolda Photography
This very special wedding dress was designed by Suzanne Neville for a bride who had lost everything, and more, in a tragic fire that devastated and upended the bride & groom’s lives.
The fire that raged through their home one month before their original wedding date, took more than anyone could imagine and left nothing in its ashes.
This is a story that began in tragedy, and ended in hope. This is a story about two beautiful people who chose to heal together, who chose to fight their way through darkness & despair together and never give up.
Upon receiving the new dress, the bride discovered the four names of their beloved family members and fur babies who had perished in the fire, embroidered by Vera Wang & her team - placed on a patch of fabric to be worn over her heart.
One year later, together with their families and friends, they honored the memories of the loved ones they lost, they honored each other, stronger now than ever before, and they celebrated life and love on their long awaited wedding day.
