Sabine & Peter Get Married

Friday, April 29th, 2011

Mike Colon Photographers

Here is a teaser for Monday’s wedding of the week on www.weddingstylemagazine.com.

Sabine and Peter get married at The Four Seasons Resort, The Biltmore in Santa Barbara, California. This couple has such a wonderful story. They met in Santa Barbara while Sabine was enjoying a day at the beach with her two children and Peter was visiting from out of town and was there with two of his four children. Divine intervention left Sabine with no babysitter and the twosome, plus their combined six children and Peter’s mom enjoyed dinner later that night. An instant spark led to a long-distance romance and well, you’ll just have to check out their story on Monday to read the rest.

Things I love about this wedding: the fact that they kept it intimate and included those that matter most: their children. While I am not a huge feather person, this shot above makes me swoon. I also like that they kept the decor simple, but elegant. Just because it is your second marriage or you are getting married later in life, doesn’t mean that you can’t have a traditional wedding.

Thank you so much to Mike Colón for sharing this wedding with us and be sure to look out for the full feature on Monday. Have a great weekend!

The one question we are still all waiting for is what will the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton look like? So instead we have put together three different options of what we think they might be.

Blue and White: Inspired by her non-traditional engagement ring. We took the blue and white hues and made it sparkle.

WPPI Recap and Cover Submission

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

As I compose this post, I am currently in San Francisco at an event called Wedding 360 where some of the nation’s top wedding coordinators and event designers are meeting. Days before that, I was in Los Angeles doing some planning with my publicists regarding television appearances. However, let’s turn the clock back just a little bit more.

One week ago, I was in Las Vegas at a convention called WPPI (Wedding Portrait Photographers International). Since I was in the area shooting table-tops and foods from all of the 5-star resorts, Lawrence Chan of Tofurious and Mike Colon invited me to speak at their booth and seminar respectively.

My schedule is…just a bit crazy! While on this note, I would like to apologize for my attempt at a daily post – you can say that I was a bit ambitious – haha!

Anyway, I just wanted to express my appreciation for everyone who came out and shared their wonderful work. Simply amazing! The following are a few images that Mike Larson took.

Boy, I love Las Vegas! The restaurants are divine! However, I must admit that there were some pretentious places that the quality was so poor that I even had difficulty choosing an entree… (no names).

Cover Submissions

I talked about picking one image for my next cover at WPPI. If you’re interested in submitting an image, please submit it here and title it “COVER” so that I will know.

For those who were there, I like images that move me – especially ones of sexy couples!

Thanks and talk soon,

Grace Ormonde
