Ilyas & Sheena: A Beautiful Wedding in Scottsdale, Arizona

Sheena and Ilyas were married at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. They live in New York, but Sheena’s family is here, so the wedding was on a beautiful day in Scottsdale, Arizona. Sheena and Ilyas were both raised in Hindu homes, but have been living western lives so, both cultures were very important to them, so the wedding included both culture’s wedding rites, which made for fantastic photographic opportunities. It was like I was shooting two weddings on on day. My team and I had a great time. And thanks to the efforts of the many wedding professionals (led by none other than Jennifer Thinnes from Outstanding Occasions) that put the wedding together, we had a beautiful backdrop for some fantastic images. Here are some of my favorites.

And let me say, if you are planning your wedding how important it is to have a wedding planner on the team for both the pre-wedding planning and for the day of the wedding. The girls at Outstanding Occasions come up with such great ideas and do such an amazing job executing the wedding plans, they are worth their weight in gold. And having them there to keep everything moving smoothly is absolutely indispensable. After a wedding like this, I have to put a little plug in for wedding designers, planner and coordinators. If you look at this wedding and think, “that’s amazing, I want a wedding like that and photos like that…”, then you need great professionals, with experience and creativity. They make weddings better in every respect.

So, on to the photos. Enjoy…

I absolutely love the henna hand painting in the Hindu culture. In Sheena’s hand paintings (by Darvina), you can see her and Ilyas in the paintings.

Even though the couple saw each other before the wedding, the tradition is to place a veil between the couple at the beginning of the ceremony and then there is a reveal, where they see each other for the “first time.” It was tricky getting my position correct on this shot to be able to show them both and not be in the way of all the guests, but as I reached the correct vantage point, Ilyas glanced at me with the greatest expression on his face. I love this shot.

Oh, and have I mentioned the colors! I am the kind of photographer who puts a lot of black and white into my weddings and portraits, but almost every photograph in this wedding so full of color that I couldn’t help but show them all in color.

I love all the rituals. There are so many opportunities for beautiful and meaningful photographs.

The yellow rice is fantastic. I love these shots.

The runner was fantastic. I love the printed logo, it was designed by Idieh Design. The programs, the place cards, everything was perfect.

I heard it in a the maid of honor’s toast, that Sheena’s laugh is infectious, but really it’s more than that. it is her natural cheerful nature. She is constantly full of happiness. I like photographing her very much because that joy shines through.

This is one of my favorite images from the day. The bride is kneeling before her parents (her’s and his). There is a reverence for family in the Hindu culture and therefore in the wedding rites that is not common enough in America. And as much as I like a non-traditional wedding that breaks the mold, there is something very special about tradition and lasting culture. It says a lot when a young couple continues the heritage of their parents.

The JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort stands on the north edge of Scottsdale, Arizona and it’s back yard are the desert mountains. It makes for a very beautiful location for a wedding.

An absolute home run for Avant Garde who designed the Mandap. You will see more shots of it throughout the this blog post. They really did a fantastic job designing and building it. But I have seen their work before and I expect no less than the best from them.

I will let you in on a little secret. Although the bride and groom planned to see each other before the wedding, things were running a little behind with getting ready, so we didn’t have much time for portraits before the wedding, and since the wedding had both a traditional Hindu ceremony and a western style ceremony, it ran a bit long. And after the wedding, the couple needed to change from their wedding attire into their reception attire. So… that means the sun went down and there was no time for portraits after the wedding with the help of the sun.

No problem. That’s why I always come prepared. Boy scout. As I saw the time slipping away from us, I shifted gears and assigned assistants to get to the vehicle and grab the heavy gear (big flashes). After the wedding, as the couple was changing, we created a very large studio set outside on the lawn of the Marriott. I’d say it turned out extremely well. Wouldn’t you?

While we were shooting, I couldn’t see a thing, so Ryan, my assistant would run up to Sheena with his iPhone and hold it near her face so I could focus on the iPhone. Then he had to run out of frame. Lots of running…

With no more light outside, we moved into the hotel (which has a lot of great interior locations). Sheena turned model on us and we got some great shots of her. This is my absolute favorite.

Sheena and Ilyas made their grand entrance through the fog.

We put up a couple additional flashes in the back of the room to accentuate the fog and the crystal trees.

Dr. Prakash, Sheena’s father designed and built the cake stand for the wedding. It’s quite beautiful.

Event design, floral design, lighting design… compositional design. Put it all together. This was simply a beautiful wedding for the greatest couple. And there are so many people to thank for making it so perfect.

Thank you Sheena and Ilyas for trusting us with your wedding. And thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make their wedding such an incredible experience.

Simple Style: Details from Ian and Megan’s Wedding

Yesterday, I posted images from Megan and Ian’s wedding at The Farm at South Mountain in Phoenix Arizona. Today I am posting my favorite details from their wedding. Enjoy.

Buttons and fabric! That’s what made up the bride’s bouquet. Beautiful, don’t you think?

Here is a cool way to carry the rings down the isle. The ring bearer simply carried the book down the isle. I loved the idea.

Sections of the long banquet table were identified with a very small chalk board. Everything was on chalk boards.

This was a great cake top. I especially loved the scrabble letters. Although you don’t get many points for an I a D and an O.

The fans doubled as the program, or should I say that the other way around? They were cool… in more ways than one.

Nicely played!

No wedding cocktail hour is complete without a game of “Corn Hole.” I loved all the games they had for people to play during a long enjoyable cocktail hour.

Like I said, everything was on chalk boards. What a great way to post signs all over that don’t distract from, but add to, the visuals.

In keeping with the overabundance of beards, those who did not have facial hair could don a mustache for the moment by sipping from their straw.

In keeping with the Quaker style wedding theme, the wedding banquet table was one very long table rather than many round tables.

Again, I can’t emphasis how cool the wedding was and how impressed I was with all the little details. Great job Megan and Ian. Everyone was having a great time, even your photographers.

Shayna & Beto’s Wedding in Scottsdale, Arizona

Shayna and Beto were married at Troon Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was a beautiful day for a wedding. Here are a few of my absolute favorite images from the wedding day.

Shayna did a great job with the dress hanger. Rarely do I see a bride pay attention to the dress hanger. It is usually an ugly plastic hanger. I have never understood dress shops who sell these fantastic dresses for thousands and thousands of dollars, knowing they will be photographed and yet they deliver them on an ugly white plastic hanger. Well, I have to hand it to Shayna for seeing that issue. For those brides out there who are peeking in on this wedding and making notes about your own wedding. Bring along a pretty hanger that says something about you.

So, we took the dress out of the closet and hung it up on this large painting in the bridal dressing room and I was composing the shot when one of the young ushers walked through the shot. I have two shots that are essentially the same of this dress, one with and one without. I can hardly look at the one without the boy in it. He completes the picture. I suppose it is because this boy took my controlled shot and added a bit of reality to it. Sometimes I am tempted to stray from reality and control it all, but the chaos always pulls me back where I belong.

I think the florist was a bit nervous when she saw me with the flowers out in the sun before the wedding. She even made a little comment about the flowers being prone to wilting in the heat. But, I’ll bet she’ll love this image of her beautiful flower arrangements. And I am happy to report the photo only took a few minutes and the flowers were perfect throughout the day.

This next series is one of my favorite getting ready sets I have taken. A lot goes into the shot of putting on the dress. Providing a nice backdrop for the effort is a major part of that. But also, there is just a lot of fortune that goes into getting the shot as well. I think all things conspired together for an opportune shot. And then I have to say that the muted color treatment on the shot really finished it off well.

This moment made everyone laugh. There is a whole series from this set, but these are the two crowning moments. The littlest flower girl got cold feet and was not even going to go down the isle, much less, throw the flower petals. So the older flower girl went back to get her and was trying to show her how to throw the petals, which upset her, I think she intended to keep them all for herself. When the older flower girl realized this, she thoughtfully moved on with her duties and the little one stood in the isle and silently pouted over the loss of her flowers. It was the cutest moment.

I was taken by the canopy of branches in the background, so I asked Shayna to pose for me as the guests and wedding party chatted. Often times the un-planned portraits and scenes that catch my attention at the moment are the very best.

I simply love this image of the bride. I love the contemplative look, I love the way the hair is blowing. The veil being set against the dark on the left of the frame is wonderful. I love this shot.

I looked at this image in color and thought it looked fine, but when I took it to black and white and started aging it, I felt as though it became what it was meant to be.

This shot was taken as the sun dropped over the horizon. There is no better time of day. I love the reflection on the water, the movement of the dress as she walks. I am very pleased with this image. As dress images go, it is a great description of the dress.

These two little girls were constantly providing opportunities for great photographs. Here they are waiting to dance with the bride during a dollar dance. Everyone was dancing with her, and they wanted their chance, but I don’t think they knew how to approach it. Where to they get the money, how do they get her away from all those other people. I think they were sufficiently mesmerized with the bride and equally unsure of how to proceed, so they stood on the sidelines for quite a long time, until the maid of honor saw them and gave them some money and explained how to get a dance with the bride. Even now, thinking about it and about my little girl, I get a little emotional. You can just see the wonder in their hearts. The older is thinking thoughts of being a bride someday and the younger is simply awe struck by a princess. There is an entire thesis in their expressions.

The joy of sparklers. You can’t help but be happy. It was a great wedding and party, people were having a lot of fun. I was glad to have been there. Thanks Shayna and Beto for trusting me with your wedding day. Congratulations.

A+T: Engagement Portraits in Gilbert, Arizona

My wife and I have known Allie since she was in high school. Neither one of us thought that there was a man out there as cool as Allie, but of course Allie had to prove us wrong . . . . and found the lid to her pot. I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with Allie and Tyler in a grove of pistachio trees in Gilbert, Arizona. Here are some of my favorite images:

Note to self: buy mirror sunglasses.

I had a great time playing with the colors in this photo. If I were 14 I would say it looks “chill” even though it is warm.

Long before he fell in love with Allie, Tyler fell in love with the outdoors. Not one to shy away from a little competition, Allie drummed up this little number to catch her man’s eye. I was laughing the entire time we were shooting. Which is problematic because laughter creates camera shake. But I kept it under control.

In today’s world of social networking we have all at one time or another written up a personal profile – a brief description of who we are and of the events that have occurred in our lives to make us that way. I told you that I have known Allie for a long time. Her personal profile is full of strength, hard work, optimism, and survival. I am so pleased with this next shot of Allie. It does what photography does best and provides a visual representation of that description of who we are and the events that have made us that way.

Is it possible that Tyler likes her even better without the antlers?

Yep!

As the sun set, I opened up the aperture on my 50 mm 1.2 lens all the way to 1.2 which gave us this extreme limited depth of field. I told Allie and Tyler I was going to be making some extremely grainy old looking photographs. They were excited about the idea. I think they turned out well.

This is definitely on of my favorite shots of the day. The grain, the encircling branches, the soft light. It is all there.

Ever the hunter!

Tyler brought several deadly weapons to this photo shoot . . . and I just brought my camera.

Jeff & Rebecca: A Family Wedding in Mesa, Arizona

This is a fairly personal post. I photographed a wedding for a very dear friend of our family. Our friend Becky and her children joined a new family and promptly flew away to China.

Jeff and Rebecca were married at the LDS Temple in Mesa Arizona. Their wedding brought two young families together. The kids on both sides are as sweet as they come. Rebecca lived with her children in Chandler, Arizona and Jeff traveled with his children all the way from China, where he works and now they all live in China. We miss Becky and her children very much, but what a great adventure for their family… we hope to see them soon.

I had hoped, with the sheer number of children and people who would be converging on the bride’s home that there would be chaos in the house, which is always fun to photograph, but true to form, Becky and her children were on top of it all, very organized and no chaos whatsoever. Lots of laughter and happiness though!

Although I don’t think it was the only reason for the happiness, there were a pair of Jimmy Choo magic shoes there, which couldn’t hurt.

Tying ties.

Drying hair.

Putting on makeup. It’s all part of getting ready and I see it all the time, but getting ready is all relative to what you are getting ready for. Not just a wedding, but the merger of two dynamic sets of children, a great adventure, a new culture, a 15 hour plane flight…

I thought this makeup photo was one of the better I have captured. The framing was perfect as was the light and with Becky’s striking features, I thought it deserved a little film noir look. I was already shooting at a very high ISO, so the grain was a natural result, there was no reason to fight it. So I pushed it even further. All of this was done in Adobe Lightroom 4 without the help of any plugins or external editors.

It was interesting. When I started to photograph the dress on the hanger, Becky just laughed and said, “good luck. That dress does not look good on the hanger.” And she was right, the dress looked like nothing on the hanger, but it was perfect when she put it on. How she decided to try it on is beyond me, but it was perfect.

Introducing Jeff. All around great guy. Jeff and his kids traveled all the way from China the day before the wedding, but only after their flight got canceled on them, so they flew from China to LA and then drove to Phoenix. What a crazy wedding story. But they made it in time and in the end, I suppose , in the end, those with the best stories win.

I had so much fun photographing the kids during the wedding. They are all so expressive and good natured. Case in point…

And finally, a photograph of the LDS Temple in Mesa. If you do not know much about the LDS or Mormon culture, Temples are a very important part of the faith. They are extremely spiritual places where members of the church are married and make covenants with God. So, when you are married in a temple, that building often symbolizes the commitment you have made to your spouse and your family. So anytime I photograph an LDS wedding, I try to make a new and interesting photograph of that temple for the couple. I am pleased with this one.

Heather and Jeremy’s Wedding Published on The Offbeat Bride

Heather and Jeremy: A Wedding in Gilbert, Arizona

Heather and Jeremy: A Wedding in Chandler, Arizona from Jared Platt on Vimeo.

Jeremy and Heather were married at Noah’s in Chandler, Arizona. Noah’s is a small even hall south east of Phoenix. I have photographed a few weddings there and all of them have been in the heat of the summer, so we spent the entire time inside. When Heather approached me about the idea of not going outside for portraits and photos, I said, “YES!” Who wants to go out in 107% temperatures and sweat it out. Plus, it made for an interesting challenge. So, I put together a portrait studio and with their retro style wedding dress and tux, I thought the portrait studio should feel a bit retro itself. I was pleased with the outcome. I love doing something a little different.

I loved the artwork for the programs for the wedding. Very cool. Very personal.

The chandelier was quite beautifully decorated by AZ Wedding Decor. It is not often that a centered “bullet composition” works, but I like this one.

I love the use of the monogram in both the boutonnieres and the bouquet.

And what bride can resist the cute shoes. It is all about the shoes. Of course, I know this more because I am married and my wife loves shoes as well. I don’t know a woman who doesn’t. But I am always excited to see what the bride has done with her shoe choice. It says a lot about her more private side.

But the bouquet says even more about the bride and her public side. And you have to admit that a fruit and vegetable bouquet is something very unique and different. I loved it. This was designed by How Appropriate Floral. It, changed the way I felt about the colors in the wedding. So, a lot of the decisions I made about how to shoot the images and how to effect them in post came from this one detail. I shot a lot of wide open f1.2 images for their portraits and details and pulled back the colors to make them more muted and soft. While what I know of the client before the wedding, helps to dictate the direction of the imagery, it is the visuals I see when I get to the wedding that shape the final imagery and how those images will be seen. I think that being open to changing direction, based on what is in front of me, helps me to truly describe the event and the people I am photographing.

This of course, has to be my favorite image from the wedding. I love everything about it. I love the bouquet. Heather looks fantastic.The lens and aperture choice makes it soft and dreamlike. The colors are perfect. Sometimes you have a vision for a photo and you execute it perfectly, but the subject does’t nail the look, but she nailed it! Way to be Heather. Way to be.

And these little kids just made me laugh. What a funny concept. They loved their little capes and they were certainly fun to photograph in my studio. They were not “ring bearers” but were announcing the coming of the bride. Yet, another way Heather made her wedding a little different from the typical.

Jeremy’s tux was the one other thing that directed me to the style and feel of the final images. His tux and his beard put me in the right frame of mind for the style. We shot very high ISO, wide apertures and fixes lenses to create a grainy old school look to the portraits and photographs. And when we didn’t shoot high ISO, we added the grain in post. I think we got a great consistent style across the entire photo collection. I am very happy with it.

The center pieces on the tables were created by Ethereal Events Decor. They made for great foreground elements.

The tables were all covered with these big glass jewels, so I couldn’t resist putting the rings in the jewels. This is always an entertaining few minutes of the evening for me.

Thank you Jeremy and Heather for trusting me with your wedding.

Sara & Jay: A Wedding at the Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix, Arizona

Sara and Jay’s Wedding at The Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix, Arizona from Jared Platt on Vimeo.

Sara and Jay’s were married at The Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix, Arizona. The mansion is an old, eclectic building with hallways and doors that lead you around in circles. Each room is a unique place to shoot. Which meant we had a number of choices for photographing the dress. But this room ended up winning. I loved the portraits hanging on either side and the texture of the translucent drapes. Generally, I dislike the plastic hangers that come with the dress, but in this case, I was happy with the hanger because the white helped to set it apart from the wood valance. I would like to know though, why it is that a bride can spend thousands of dollars on a dress and the dress shop only gives her a lame plastic hanger? That is ridiculous. They know the dress will be photographed before it goes on, and yet, they give her a white plastic hanger that, in most cases, takes away from the photograph. I carry a hanger around with me to make up for this oversight, but in this case, the plastic hanger worked in the photo, so I didn’t use my wooden one.

We were on our way up the stair case (where I am shooting from) and I saw this little archway and the light coming down the staircase. So we had to use it because the light was perfect.

The bride’s room at the Wrigley Mansion is full of soft feminine colors. The paintings, wall papers and drapes are perfect for a slightly desaturated photograph. I love the layers in this photograph. Sara looks fantastic in it, the veil is coming into the shot, the painting is framing Sara nicely, the left side of the frame, though vacant, is held together by a bride’s maid’s shoulder and hair. I just enjoy looking at this one.

This is one of those doorways in the Wrigley Mansion that leads through a series of rooms and hallways that make you feel like you are in a game of Clue. And, it was a perfect spot for a portrait. It is not often that you find this much wall without it being interrupted by frames, drapes, light switches, etc. So I used every inch of vacant wall. Just to the right and left are elements that would spoil the shot. It is all about the Bride. No other distractions are allowed.

This little ring bearer was quite a show. Here he comes down the long stairway, which serves as the beginning of the isle at the Wrigley Mansion. But he caught sight of the cameras and all the people watching him.

So he literally walked the rest of the distance, down the stairs and down the isle with the ring pillow in front of his face to avoid the paparazzi.

The entire way! He was not interested in the publicity! Everyone was laughing. You couldn’t have planned that kind of entertainment. I think that is why we have little children walk down the isle at weddings, in hopes that we get some comic entertainment.

Because the mansion is on a mountain, there few flat spots. Lots of stairs and hills. But there are also a lot of trees, and because it is on it’s own knoll, you can find great shade somewhere at any point of the day. I am always photographing, regardless of what is going on. Whenever the bride and groom are walking, I am snapping a shot here and there and always looking for little moments like this one. A small glance, a smile, something. I was happy to find this one.

I am particularly fond of this shot. My wife saw it and said, “fantastic lines!” Yep! That’s what I was thinking when I was shooting this series. This is one of those images that has to be seen at the camera. It doesn’t appear from the contact sheet as a happy accident. You have to see the lines and square up to them, otherwise they just fall apart in the frame and while you may get an ok shot out of it, you won’t get those “fantastic lines.” The frame dictates the effectiveness of the lines.

The Wrigley Mansion’s entry way is full of visuals. It is a rotunda with a staircase or a balcony completely surrounding the room. You could shoot this room again and again and get something different every time.

I loved the graphic quality of this image with half of the frame in complete white and the other half in an textured white with a few darker elements and lines. And then, of course, the main event, the kiss, happens in the corner of the frame making it more dramatic and full of energy as it battles with the convergence of the bottom and right hand edges.

Lindsay & Travyn: A Wedding at Troon North, Scottsdale, Arizona

Lindsay & Travyn’s Wedding: Troon North, Scottsdale, Arizona from Jared Platt on Vimeo.

Lindsay and Travyn were married at Troon North Country Club in Scottsdale, Arizona. We were there to capture them getting ready, the ceremony and a little bit of the reception.

Lindsay’s father got a sneak peak just before the bride and groom would see each other for the first time. His pride at this moment must have been overflowing. Two years ago, I may have still captured this image, but would not have fully understood it. Now with a little girl of my own, I get it… I really get it.

It was a warm day in Scottsdale, Arizona and the sun was high in the sky, so our group portraits were taken in the dappled light of the paloverde trees. Troon North has a lot of interesting tree covered ravine which work great for non-golfcourse looking shots. And shade in Arizona is a very important thing to find.

I always love having the wedding party as a backdrop to the bride and groom. People are often times the best backdrop to any shot.

Of course, a nice scenic backdrop works too. I love the huge boulders out at Troon North. They are all over far north Scottsdale. The make for some great photographs. Note: I am always very cautious and walk in front of the bride and groom looking for and listening for snakes! Rattle snakes. We didn’t find any snakes during this wedding, but I have almost been bitten four times in one day before (a story for another post), so, it is something to take seriously.

I loved this lone tree. I have shot a lot of weddings at Troon North and never saw this tree in this way before. It just happen to catch my eye this time and I thought it made for a good dramatic portrait of the groom.

I loved this moment. Most of the time, it is a hand shake or a simple handing off the bride, but occasionally something bigger and more emotional occurs and when it does, it is a little treasure. I was glad to be in the right position to get the moment between Travyn and his Father in Law, but Lindsay being in the shot makes the shot.

I have been shooting weddings at Troon North long enough to see the wedding site change drastically. It used to occur off the driving range (which had a nice view), but they really did a good job choosing a great backdrop for their current wedding site. But, you do have to time the wedding just right. The sun can make things a bit difficult for the photographs and for the guests if it is not timed right. But if you time it right, it can be perfect.

After the wedding we took a little ride on the golf cart for some more portraits of just the bride and groom. Lindsay and Travyn got to watch the sunset from a high vantage point.

But after the sunset, we did a few more shots in the boulders. I love the soft quality of the light after a sunsets, and thanks to modern digital equipment, I can capture images in this limited light without difficulty.

Shooting with Stuart Thurkill

I shot a wedding with Stuart Thurkill a few weeks ago at the Montelucia in Scottsdale, Arizona. His assistant was ill and I was free, so I stepped in to help out. We had a great time. The couple was cool and I always enjoy talking with Stuart because he is so passionate about everything, and he’s such a nice guy. This image I shot of Stuart at the wedding was certainly worth showing. I think that look he’s sporting is Zoolander’s patented Blue Steel look.
