Feather and Stone | Orchestrated Stylized Shoots

Orchestrated's Feather and Stone commemorates the rich Native American history in the Las Vegas region. The Paiute [pie-yute] inhabited the region before modern civilization came. "As a people the Paiute are peaceable, moral, and industrious, and are highly commended for their good qualities by those who have had the best opportunities for judging. They possess more solidity of character." [source] Like all Native American tribes, the Paiute respected and revered nature and the land. And because of that, they are closely tied to the natural beauty that surrounds the Vegas Strip.

And on the personal, more casual side, we wanted to commemorate the true Las Vegas history beyond the glitz and glamour with eco-friendly and sustainable resources, and of course, the beauty of the desert. Springs Preserve in Las Vegas was the perfect venue for us and our theme, not only in scenery, but in philosophy. As stated on their website: “Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978, the Springs Preserve is a 180-acre cultural institution designed to commemorate Las Vegas’ dynamic history and to provide a vision for a sustainable future.” It couldn’t have been more perfect than that! With the help of Angelica of Green Orchid Events, we were bound to have awesome fun, community, and eye candy.

If you want to really get a feel for how Orchestrated works and what type of community we hope to foster, you should definitely watch the film below. :) Not only did I do some major happy dances when I found out Jeremy was going to be at WPPI and available for the event, but I'm pretty sure if I could do a cartwheel, one would have happened when I saw the final film he created for Feather and Stone.

'Nuff said. :)

Vignettes, Vol. II is now open for registration!

For the sake of perfection, we've had to reschedule Vignettes Vol. II, and I'm SOOO glad we did. Because August 12th is going to be a ton of nerdy chic a la neon fun.

At each Orchestrated event, even in a stress-less environment, we've noticed that some photographers can still be a little hesitant to pose and guide our models. As a photographer, it's such an integral skill when working with clients, and we want our participants to be confident to try new things and new poses when they don't have the worries of a paying client. :)

We will set the scene, you arrive at your chosen Vignette, I will teach some posing tips, you shoot, and then the rest is just a fun time!

We have three separate stylized Vignettes for you from which to choose... engagement, bridal, and day-after! This isn't like our regular stylized events. The models will be more stylized than anything else. Vignettes is more of an emphasis on working with everyday models, having fun with other photogs, and challenging yourself to think outside the box!

So what's up with "Day-After"? A trend and slowly becoming popular with my own clients has been to have a session in their wedding gear either a day or two after the actual wedding. These are so much more laid back. So much more low-key. And so much more fun because time and pristine wedding gowns are no longer issues. I LOVE this trend, and I'm really hoping more clients take advantage of it in the future. :)

Orchestrated: Emerald Encounter Registration NOW OPEN! | Musical-Inspired Stylized Shoot for Photographers

You'd think I was fibbing when I said we've been planning this shoot since last March. But it's true. We were in Meghan's living room when inspiration struck... and we haven't looked back since.

If you're obsessed with the musical Wicked like we are, you're going to faint (just like I probably will) at what we have planned with this Wicked-inspired wedding.

Orchestrated's Emerald Encounter shines a light on the musical lover and theatrics of a wedding. A happified couple celebrates their impending nuptials, surrounded by adoring fans and loved ones. Pinks, silvers, and sparkles decorate all, but almost unnoticed, there is a character in all black that seems to be on the outskirts of this event...

Come join us to hear the story unfold, be a part of the special day, and photograph some gravity-defying details.

But there's something DIFFERENT this time around! So be sure to pay attention. It's a TWO-DAY event. We're encouraging all attendees to be a part of both days for the purpose of storytelling flow... but it's not required. :)

DAY ONE: The Rehearsal Dinner!
* You are invited to join us for a stylized rehearsal dinner with Galinda and Fiyero as they toast to their wedding the following day. It's a night on the town at the Ozdust Ballroom in the Emerald City, so dress in your best greens! You will be served a delicious sit-down dinner with the bride and groom, Galinda and Fiyero, and be given photography opportunities for details... and just have fun with the other participants. :)

DAY TWO: The Wedding!
* With special cameos, an official storyteller, and theatrics to sparkle, this is the wedding of the year to attend.

Note: We will sell out relatively quickly as many photogs have been waiting just as patiently/anxiously as we have. So grab the spot you want when you can!

Also, if you have not seen the musical, then please go to their website because this shoot is heavily based on references from the musical. OR just go to the show yourself! It's coming to Norfolk THIS MONTH! :)

Orchestrated: Vignettes Vol. 1 Registration NOW OPEN!

We've been plugging away behind the scenes to really bring a nice little "vignette" or mini-treat in between the big events. At each Orchestrated event, even in a stress-less environment, we've noticed that some photographers can still be a little hesitant to pose and guide our models. As a photographer, it's such an integral skill when working with clients, and we want our participants to be confident to try new things and new poses when they don't have the worries of a paying client. :)

We will set the scene, you arrive at your chosen Vignette, I will teach some posing tips, you shoot, and then the rest is just a fun time!

We have three separate stylized Vignettes for you from which to choose... engagement, bridal, and boudoir! This isn't like our regular stylized events. The models will be more stylized than anything else. Vignettes is more of an emphasis on working with everyday models, having fun with other photogs, and challenging yourself to think outside the box!

Orchestrated: Ink and Pearl Registration... now open!

When Meghan and I were in the UK, on the train from Cardiff to London, we hammered out Ink and Pearl. It was actually kind of funny. We somehow got seated near the train's toilet. And as we talked about beautiful details and ultra-elegance, that stinky toilet door mechanically opened and closed. Not a pretty picture, right?!

Orchestrated's Ink and Pearl channels Coco Chanel and the fine arts world. Think nothing but black, white, and hints of silver. This is going to be ultra-chic, ultra-elegant, and ultra-black tie.

And the storyline this time? It's an intimate affair. The bride and groom have had a private elopement ceremony and have returned to host a lovely reception of desserts, treats, and eye candy galore... with a fine arts spin.
