Ice-T at Raising Cane’s
In June, in honor of National Iced Tea Day, Raising Cane’s hosted a very special event. Ice-T, the legendary musician and “Law and Order: SVU” star, donned a Raising Cane’s uniform to interact with and serve customers as a fun surprise! Not only did Ice-T make and serve fresh Iced Tea, but guests were able to watch the Actor in action while he filmed a commercial for the popular fast-food company. Ice-T was also happy to take customer orders at the cash register and drive-thru window, and pose for many photo ops! It was an irreproducible moment for not only guests, but our Haute Media team as we got to witness the delight on all the customer’s faces. Not only are these moments special for us, but the photos are extremely valuable to Raising Cane’s as a brand who were able to utilize the images in marketing campaigns and publish on social media!
Elvis Movie Premiere – Harkins Hunka Burnin’ Love Party!
June was a busy month with our Haute Media Team also having the incredible opportunity to photograph a special screening party of the new Elvis movie at Harkins Theatres in Scottsdale, featuring a surprise appearance from the leading-man, Austin Butler, and director, Baz Luhrmann, themselves! As soon as Baz and Austin stepped into the theater, the crowd went wild and we could not wait to capture photos of these two and the ecstatic fans!

The event included a social mixer, gala, professional headshot station (set up and ran by yours truly), and a special guest appearance by the United States Secretary for the Department of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg.

In October, we were fortunate enough to pack our bags and head to Nashville, Tennessee; where our Haute Media team captured photos for the Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove: 2019-2021 Kitchen Design Contest Summit and Gala. The Summit and Gala were held to highlight and honor the pioneering professionals, who with their outstanding creativity and dedication that have pushed the boundaries of kitchen design! The three-day event was a balance of both work and play with an awards dinner & gala plus excursions into the Heart of Music City! Our Haute Media team traveled alongside the Kitchen Design Contest finalists to the beautiful Cheekwood Estate and Gardens, the historic Belle Meade Planation, the iconic Graystone Quarry, and the world-famous Grand Ole Opry!

Importance of Corporate Event Photography
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and boy do we agree. Photography is all about capturing special moments in time, allowing those present and even those absent, to recall the emotions and atmosphere of an event for years to come. That is why event photography is vital to any successful corporate event.
No matter what type of event you are hosting, whether it is a conference, trade show, awards banquet, or even an open house event, it is important to document your events with professional photography.

Experiential Event Photography & Videography
Experiential Event Photography & Videography
What are Experiential Events & How do they Promote Your Brand?
A business doesn’t want people to just know their brand, they want people to experience their brand. Companies began to search for a more engaging and tangible way to promote their brand to an audience beyond that of traditional events. Just as all ideas and concepts have the ability to change and grow, events and the manner in which they are executed have also evolved. Thus, the creation of experiential events. An experiential event is a multifaceted affair that completely immerses attendees with the hopes of leaving them with positive brand image and lasting memories for years to come.
This past Summer, our Haute Media Team had the amazing opportunity to photograph a special screening party of the new Elvis movie featuring a surprise appearance by Austin Butler and Baz Luhrmann themselves! As soon as Baz and Austin stepped into the theatre, the crowd went wild and of course, everyone wanted their photo taken with these two! This is a perfect example of an experiential event and the important role of photography and videography in promoting your brand. By capturing photos at this event, not only did it leave a lasting impression on all of the guests but the photos were used as promotional material. When it comes to promoting your brand and your events, visual content such as photos and videos are essential!
Here is another great example of an experiential event that our Haute Media team captured recently – In honor National Iced Tea Day, Raising Cane’s hosted a special event with legendary musician and “Law and Order: SVU” star, Ice-T who interacted with and served their customers as a fun surprise! Not only did Ice-T make and serve fresh Iced Tea, guests were able to watch the Actor in action while filming a commercial for Raising Cane’s, plus he took customer orders and posed for photo ops. These photos highlight a fun and irreproducible moment for guests that they will always remember and correlate with Raising Cane’s. Not only are these moments special for guests, but the photos are extremely valuable to Raising Cane’s as a brand who were able to utilize the images in marketing campaigns and publish on social media.
The purpose of an experiential event is to bring a brand to life in the eyes of the target audience. The key being to target a desired audience and then communicate brand values by creating memorable experiences that give and add value to the lives of customers. Instead of a company telling their audience what their brand is about, the audience gets to experience the brand for themselves. By bringing a brand to life and allowing people to engage and interact with the brand for themselves, the audience will hopefully create a positive attachment to the brand as well. Therefore, creating brand awareness and brand loyalty that can then be shared through positive word of mouth and social media.
Another important factor of experiential events is the opportunity for photography and videography. Experiential events are the perfect opportunity to gather publisher-generated and user-generated content that can be utilized across multiple traditional and digital platforms.
Why is Experiential Event Photography & Videography Important?
It is important to utilize Photography & Videography to enhance any experiential event. Photography and videography gathered during an experiential event is essential to sharing the personality of a brand to the audience outside the scope of the event. Those not in attendance will still be able to connect with the personality and energy of a brand through the lens of photography and videography. High quality photos and videos from a fun, engaging experiential event will generate buzz and get people excited and talking about a brand!
Take a look at this amazing video from the Scottsdale Arts Annual ARTrageous Gala! Doesn’t this video make you want to attend the next ARTrageous event?!
This is why in the age of social media, it is also important to have photo opportunities for guests to have for their own personal use. Having visually engaging images that can be shared online will not only get guests excited and feel personally a part of the event. It will also double serve as an organic marketing effort to promote a positive brand image and extend brand reach to an attendee’s personal followers.
Experiential events are a unique, immersive way for guests to engage with you brand and create lifelong memories in the process. Experimental events are incredibly rewarding for both the brand and the guests, however, they are also an incredible deal of work. If you are hosting an experiential event, our Haute Media team would love to help and take your brand to the next level by providing you with stunning, high-quality photos and/or videos that can be shared in any format! Ensure that your company is viewed in the most positive of lights and your guests have an abundance of photos and videos to share with their friends and family!

As you explore the Sonoran Desert Nature Loop trail, educational placards help give context and interesting information about the amazing botanical sculptures of the desert. This easy and accessible hike is a great chance to learn about the flora and fauna of a diverse and beautiful region,” raves Carefree Covered RV Storage.

Not only is the setting spectacular, but the food is incredible, serving a prix fixe award-winning menu that often changes daily.”
13. Valentine
“The hidden gem that stands out to me the most is Valentine, a charming, New-American, Southwestern restaurant that offers delicious brunch and dinner, and has a sultry speakeasy bar attached. There’s a relaxed outdoor patio if you’re craving warmth from the sun while drinking an iced oat honey latte, but if you’re looking for something moodier, check out the chic, dimly lit speakeasy bar with creative concoctions,” says ChiVeg.
She also notes that she was blown away by their dinner menu which consisted of al pastor mushrooms with mole, a Sonoran pretzel, and their house-made tagliarini with elote-style corn.
14. Frashers Tavern
Arizona Boating & Watersports boasts, “Frashers Tavern is indeed a hidden gem. This local favorite is reminiscent of vintage steak houses, including wood and leather decor, decorative memorabilia, stellar service, and great steaks. The bar, main dining room, and outside dining area are supervised daily by the owner George Frasher. The personal touches here elicit an ‘I-belong-here’ atmosphere.”
The restaurant offers an expansive meat menu including filet mignon, ribeye steak, prime rib, and rack of lamb.
