Currier Museum of Art

"Partnering with The Styled Studio—led by the incredibly talented Kate Preftakes of Kate Preftakes Photography and Sorrell Downing of Events by Sorrell—was a game-changing experience for the Currier Museum of Art. We were facing a challenge: our event spaces weren’t attracting the level of clientele needed to sustain that portion of our programming. Kate and Sorrell stepped in with a clear vision and a collaborative spirit that completely reimagined how our spaces could be seen and experienced.

They curated and executed multiple styled shoots at the museum and at our Frank Lloyd Wright homes, pulling together a dream team of vendors, designers, models, and creatives. From thoughtfully styled ceremony and reception vignettes to stationery flat lays and editorial portraits, every detail was artfully designed and flawlessly captured. They also wove in smaller “mini shoots” during our Galas and Progressive Dinners, elevating those events and providing us with an abundance of rich, branded content.

The result was not just a beautiful new portfolio of imagery, but a revitalized identity for the Currier as a distinctive, art-forward venue. Their work helped us forge deeper relationships with local vendors and repositioned the museum as a desirable destination for weddings and private events. This collaboration truly breathed new life into our event offerings, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome."
