Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine in Africa

“Our world interconnects with people, experiences, references, similarities and differences. What connection, for instance, could there be between people in a remote village in Africa and the world of couture bridal fashion?” Yanni Tzoumas, Grace Ormonde Wedding Style.

As one of the photographers lucky enough to help photograph the following spread, let me try and answer this question… The entire world is connected – what we choose to do can affect so many. In August, 15 photographers donated their time & talents to photograph a very special collection of wedding gowns in Tanzania, Africa. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these gowns (each with a touch of blue) will be donated to an amazing organization called Thirst Relief International. They provide resources for communities who lack access clean drinking water. You can see the bio-sand filters in the following images and some of the children they benefit.
