We recently got asked to guest blog for Weddlady.  And…well… ask and you shall receive!  I got to write about the uniquely empowering experience of boudoir photography for women; from our perspective.  It’s always nice to be asked, and even better when you get to see your thoughts being shared :)   So here’s the post!!!

Photographing models in North Providence…

Filed under Dave's Projects, Miscellaneous Tags: , , , , , , — • Written by Dave @ 10:42 am

So another model shoot in North Providence.  This time I went at it with the idea of shooting a movie poster.  A lot of different light styles and punch up in Photoshop.  The experience was great and we really pushed to not use the space the same way we did last time we shot at this location.  So without further adieu, so pics for you…

“We were given: 2 hands to hold, 2 legs to walk, 2 eyes to see, 2 ears to listen but why only one heart?  Because the other was given to someone else for us to find heart in hand.” – Unknown

Love Is…The Master Key – Jennie’s Winter Project

When I read, visuals of the narrative often pop into my head.  I’ve long thought about doing a shoot based on these images.   So when Dave and I talked about doing our winter projects I knew this would be my starting point. Randomly, I was researching love quotes online and came across a site whose basis is “Love is… “.  Some of these quotes created such strong visuals for me I knew I had found the focus for my words and images project!! So here it is the first Love is…

Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes

A Connecticut Photographer in King Michael’s Court…

Filed under Dave's Projects Tags: , , , , , , , , , , — • Written by Dave @ 6:46 am

Jennie and I like to take our winter time and stretch ourselves creatively.  It’s a chance for us to get out and learn, create and mingle with our photographer compatriots.  One of the main benefits of this ‘exploration’ is the opportunity to test ourselves and our equipment so that when your wedding day comes, we can be ready quickly to create something that looks gorgeous for our brides :-)

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of working with Micheal Spirito and Brad Smith in at a photo session with 3 great looking models and a really cool location.  Except for the skateboard shot below, all the images were made with one or two lights.  This means that these techniques can be adapted to the fast paced wedding environment rather easily without compromising the day’s schedule.  Although these images tend more toward the ‘artsy side,’ there are plenty of ways these could be adapted to a bride and groom.  I’m really pleased with how these turned out, but I also have to admit, having reeeaaaallllyy attractive models helps a bit…

“Mystic 5 style shoot” or “Playing hookie 101″…

Filed under Boudoir, Miscellaneous Tags: , , , , , , , , , , — • Written by Dave @ 7:53 am

As you may have already heard in one of our previous posts, Jennie and I had the great fortune fortune of attending Mystic 5.  A photographers dream, specifically a wedding photographers dream, the event taught us a lot.  We also had the opportunity to hang with our Strawberry Road friend, Brad Smith, of Brad Smith Photography.  Just days before the conference, the wheels started turning and we’d decided a little hookie from the conferences might be a nice idea.  So what did we do, we lined up a gorgeous model and challenged ourselves to a time restrained high speed fashion/boudoir shoot.  Jennie and I shot with no real theme in mind except to get great images that captured the attitude and beauty of our model Sarah…
