OK, I know what you’re thinking… what’s better than getting to spend the day with great friends Eric and Amber Langlois of Raw Photo Design, shoot a ridiculously beautiful girl— scantily clad in sexy lingerie while she bounces from pose to pose— from the bed to the tub to the…

Ummm— what was I talking about again?

In all seriousness, Eric has taken boudoir photography to a whole new level… and the proof’s in the popularity. Whether it’s a gift for a groom the night before the wedding, or just a chance for someone to feel like a supermodel for a day — RAW Boudoir. say it again. Raw Boudoir.

Helping making the beautiful even more beautiful this day were Sue from Naomi’s Salon providing makeup, and Josie from Beneath the Gown, who provided the lingerie for the shoot.

I usually get a feeling right away whether I’ll be working for a couple, or with a couple. From our first meeting, I knew I’d love working with Kate and Dave. They were both easy going and really excited for their big day! And a big day it was… everything came together for one of my favorite weddings of the year. Great weather, a beautiful church, a gorgeous reception venue, and two great, fun families. The Saybrook Point Inn & Spa is one of my favorite places to shoot, and for good reason. They are always super nice to work with and the oceanfront marina makes for endless great footage opportunities.

Speaking of great imagery… working with Eric and Amber from Raw Photo Design continues to make my work better. Eric has such a great feel for finding great, different locations, and making the most of them. He can turn a traditional landscape into something really amazing. Working as a team with your photographer is always an important part of the day for us, so the fact that we work well together helps too! Check out some photos from Kate and Dave’s wedding here. No, really, you need to stop reading and click it!

Kreg from Primetime Entertainment kicked out the tunes, and delivered as usual—not like he had a tough crowd… this group came to dance, and dance they did.

Congratulations Kate and Dave, and thanks again for being such a great couple to work with!

YES! Raw Photo Design (Eric + Amber Langlois) have started doing workshops… so for those out there who want to learn from someone who falls into our ‘vendors who bring it’ category, now you can! Click here for their shots from the day. I tagged along to document some learnin’, hang with some cool photographers, and hoped to score some grade A footage at a cool place.

So their workshop was held at The Winvian, this resort getaway kind of place on 100 acres up in the Litchfield Hills. I had never shot there, but it’s a very cool venue for a wedding!

Also contributing their amazing talents to the successful day were: Makeup: Stacey Palancia of Blush Couture, Flowers: Tony and Kat from Datura. Bridal Gown: Beth from White Dress by the Shore.

After sharing space with an accountant (no offense Chris) for the past 2 years, I’m psyched to be in a creative space where couples can relax, kick their feet up, and check out our work in our ‘consultation lounge’…

I’m not alone though… sharing The Studio is Eric Langlois of Raw Photo Design, and Candice Dowling of Jubilee Events. Eric hangs his awesome work, Candice decorates and brings in fresh flowers and I…. um, I guess I benefit from working with great vendors like them. If you’d like to stop in, we’d love to see you, but give us a call first, as we’re available by appointment only.

Ignoring instincts that tell you not to enter a building that could fall down at any moment, as well as no trespassing signs, I jumped at the opportunity to film Eric of Raw Photo Design as he photographed Candice (of Jubilee Events).

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Raw Photo Design, prepare to be blown away. Eric’s work manages to combine a contemporary style with an undeniable emotional element. OK, I’ll stop trying to put into words what you can scroll down and check out for yourself…
