Swank Photo Studio-Smithfield

WOW! Is all I can say about Swank Photography Studio in Smithfield, NC. I visited the studio yesterday along with a client that was having a Boudouir Photo Session. I had an amazing time and met two wonderful industry professionals. I worked with a wonderful skilled makeup artist yesterday from KTouch Artistry, Lekisha was simply amazing, she was fun to work with and fast.
The studio was rented out by Miranda of In The Grain Photography and althought I haven't seen the pictures yet I KNOW they are incredible! The looks, the poses were to die for. Miranda didn't waste any time directing the session, she was so organized and orderly and had an amazing eye for fashion.
I don't even know where to start on the studio. If you are looking for somewhere to take some real Couture pictures then this studio is the place. Each setting was Artfully Designed. The use of color was amazing, the fabrics, the paints and flooring with different textures (furs, knits and a host of others) gave you so much to work with, not to even mention the studios inventory of props and accessories. There were feather pins, super cute jewelery, and heels that you couldn't even imagine. No corner was left untouched, the bathroom had a Chandelier, not just any Chandelier but a awesome crystal chic breathtaking Chandelier.
I can't wait to work in this studio again and was grateful for the opportunity.
I deemed that this studio would also make a wonderful setting for a Bridal Shower, Bachelorette Party. I have some wonderful ideas for those parties, so if you are interested let's get to planning!
Can't wait to post a picture from the session!

Perfect Wedding Guide Guild Luncheon

Today I attended the Perfect Wedding Guides Guild Luncheon at "Raleigh Country Club" I networked with the who's who of the industry and had a wonderful time. Gail the facilitator of the event was awesome, she made sure everyone mingled and felt comfortable. We had an lunch feast fit for a King. I had fillet Mignon with a side of mashed potatoes and asparagus that was delicious. Besides the food the discourse on wedding ceremonies for interfaith couples was very informative and intriguing. They touched on new trends and the traditions that aren't so custom any more. I met plenty of vendors that I can't wait to work with. I am anxiously awaiting the next luncheon. Checkout www.pwgnc.com if you are an industry professional and would like to attend a luncheon all you have to do is sign up and tell "KME" sent you. If you are a Bride to Be then you will enjoy the loads of information provided for you on the website.

Building my Business, From Dreams to Reality

This is my first official blog which I hope to be first of many as I explore this marvelous world of event planning as a profession. Allow me to introduce myself and my business. I am an ambitious, charismatic, walking to my own off beat fun loving 26 year old woman with a flair, rather gene for event planning. I am no newbie to events, it's my first love to throw parties from an early age I was having lavish slumber parties, game nights, craft parties and the list goes on. I had a standard all my own to compete with before I was a preteen. As an adult I have planned countless corporate events from conferences, to seminars and luncheons. I have worked on two weddings and planned one from start to finish. I have planned a host of other events to include Baby Showers, Graduation parties and one of my favorites Family Reunions. The list goes on but you get the idea.
I am an expert at saving money and know just how to create the perfect event on a limited budget. I don't cut corners or sacrifice class or style to save money, but I do find ways to effectively reduce the cost. Why spend money that you don't have to or simply can't afford to spend.
So that's my story. Keep a look out for my future blogs. I intend to update them frequently with topics stemming from money saving tips, trends, DIY info, and hot offbeat venues and the day and life of an event planner. You can look forward to lots of pictures and originality. Feel free to contact me for information about anything you see posted or to inquire more about Kaden Maddox Events services.
