Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine

"Getting divorced just because you don't love a man is almost as silly as getting married just because you do."
-Zsa Zsa Gabor

I had the privilege of working on this beautiful wedding story for Grace Ormonde Wedding Style magazine.  It is a very upscale fashion forward magazine that is based out of New Jersey and only comes out once a year.  The shoot took place at a spectacular estate in the Malibu hills, and despite the fact that it was over a hundred degrees that day, the images came out beautiful.  The models were a joy to work with, and there was a plethora of gorgeous gowns to pick from, so I was in heaven!  Being that it was one of my first "on-set" experiences I was like a sponge, trying to absorb every small detail and I feel honored to have been a part of it.  

As far as the styling was concerned, we had everything from Vera Wang wedding dresses, to the newest Dior jewelry collection.  We even had an armed guard on set with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of De Beers diamond jewelry.  I was so excited when Brian sent me these images, because the woman whose house we used for the shoot had six chickens clucking about throughout the day and I kept insisting that we use one of them in the story.  I mean seriously, only in Malibu do you find that sort of combination...A spectacular estate with free roaming chickens!  Oh, and the dogs belonged to the home owner as well, which I thought worked splendidly into the script.  All in all, I don't think we could have asked for a better location.
