Vendor Profile - DJ Otto Productions - Pittsburgh Weddings Seneca Valley Prom 2011

Recently I photographed the Seneca Valley Prom and the lighting and entertainment was by Otto Productions.  As always, Frank and his team did an tremendous job providing amazing lights and entertainment.  Not only were there great lights and music but he provided glow sticks, balloons, and beach balls.  In the show below, you will see a combination of video and stills that illustrate only a fraction of the fun the youth had on their 2011 Senior Prom.

Wedding Engagement Images - Capturing Fun Moments - Buttermilk Falls

One item that I always attempt to get are a few fun shots of the groom to be.  Too often guys are left out of the photography for one reason or another.  However, one thing that I learned over the years is that it is always a good thing to grab a few shots of the guys.  Too often portrait shots of guys do not appear masculine.  One thing that I attempt to do is to create a masculine look with the guy photographs.

When Steve pulled up on his Harley for the engagement session, my mind started to race.  What fun images can we capture that will tell who he represents and would be a great addition to their guest album.

The main light was an SUV parked to camera left.  The headlights on the vehicle lit his face and part of the left side and a remote light behind him created separation from the background.

The next image is another favorite from the engagement shoot. I really like the circles of light and the overall glow of the image.

Wedding Engagement Session - Stephanie & Steve - Buttermilk Falls - Beaver County Photographer

If you follow this blog you will notice a familiar setting.  Buttermilk Falls
I try to take photographs at this location in all four seasons since the look is similar but not the same.  In the winter, the falls are a large frozen mass.  In the spring, the water is flowing fast and furious with a tremendous roar making normal speech a challenge to be heard.  The amazing part about photographing in the spring over any other time of the year is the size of the falls and the look that can be created.

I love to look at images with a water falls that has the soft creamy look.  This effect is easily obtained by slowing down the shutter to 1/15 second or slower.  However, the challenge is when there are people in the photo and standing on slick mud on a hillside without a tri-pod.  I asked the couple to stand as still as possible and I crouched low and braced my arms on my body.  This enabled me to hand hold this shot at 1/15 second which created the dreamy look.

After spending at least thirty minutes around the falls, we decided it was time to go to the spot above the falls which presents a beautiful view of the falls and surrounding area.

Steve brought his Harley and I couldn't pass up grabbing a few shots of it when the sun was nearly gone.
