Black and White Glamour at Mountain Shadows Resort in Paradise Valley

A monochromatic palette takes center stage at this luxurious styled shoot that doubled as a photography workshop.

Dramatic scenery of Camelback Mountain surrounds the Mountain Shadows Resort in Scottsdale - it's only fitting that this luxurious haven resides in Arizona's own "paradise valley." The design team behind Your Jubilee Weddings envisioned an influx of inspiration set in monochrome for this styled shoot, featuring opulent details and décor. The shoot doubled as a photography workshop, where an array of creatives led by Ryann Lindsey captured delicate moments between our bride and groom alongside gorgeous shots of tablescapes and vistas. Photographers played around with distinct styles and flair in their shots, capturing the aura of the shoot with unique framing. The design kept a central focus on keeping things true to its color palette, with whimsical white florals adorning tabletops and our bride's bouquet. Within the palette, decisions to play around with textures like lace added a subtle contrast to other similarly-hued décor and tinted gray glassware added a moody touch. By evening, candlelight lit the reception and scrumptious sit-down dinner for a truly romantic, intimate feel. The Mountain Shadows Resort offered photo-ops around every turn, boasting modern architectural features and expansive views. A highlight of the shoot was a Rolls Royce that set a distinguished backdrop for our couple and brought a vintage detail to the shoot, reminiscent of Old Hollywood. Glamour was a key consideration for fashion choices, with our groom looking absolutely classic in a tux from Celebrity Tux and Tails. Elegance and drama collided with the bride's corset-style gown from Allure Bridal, adding a modern twinge to the classic luxury of the shoot. The design team and photography team opted to highlight the tranquility and timelessness of a classic palette, showcasing the intersection between tradition and modernity in a showstopping setting.
