Although I’ve been a wedding photojournalist in Denver for awhile, Katy and Charles’ wedding at the History Center Colorado was giving me flashbacks to weddings I covered when I lived in Washington DC. Culture transcends location, and as the two attorneys met while working at the Department of Justice, the wedding felt a little like a time capsule of weddings I’ve covered in DC.
