Dotun's blog

Welcome to my blog, my name is Dotun Ayodeji, a professional photographer based in the DC area. I finally got around to getting this blog running after years and hope to share my photography journal with you. I will be displaying images ranging from recent personal shoots to commercial assignments and sometimes images I just never got around to posting on my old blog.  I will be posting images every week, so feel free to visit my archives whenever you return.

Enjoy the experience.

Thanks,

Dotun


Kelli and Jason

Meet Kelli and Jason. Kelli has to be the most quiet bride I’ve ever shot. I shot their e-shoot sometime in May and we had fun the “Kelli and Jason” way – Fun and simple. I will be blogging their June 25th wedding in about a week or so, so check back soon. Here are my fav 12 from their shoot. We shot this mostly in Georgetown as you can see from the brick buildings.

Technical bits – shot these mostly with 35mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.2 on Canon 5D mark II

August 16, 2010 - 10:31 pm wale. - awesome!! also loved the 'sneaky' feel to the shots. can't wait to see their wedding photos. 12 is my favorite.

August 16, 2010 - 1:45 pm Benjamin Whitfield - Good stuff, man!

August 16, 2010 - 11:33 am Dotun - Thanks Tola, it definitely felt that way.

August 16, 2010 - 11:22 am tola adeyinka - I like the simplicity of the shots.Feels like you were a passerby holding a camera, who stumbled upon a couple having a nice day out!Good job

Ada and Chikwelu

Happy friday everyone, here is another beautiful wedding I shot early June.  Shooting Ada and Chikwelu’s day was fun and filled with energy and to top it off they had locations right next to each other something really rare when you get married in the DMV.

Makeup – Zfaces, Reception decor – Garden of Eden, Wedding planning and Cordiantion – Lola Olamoyegun

Assistant Photographers – Kbobb Photography and s67 Photography

1. I found this when I walked into Chikwelu’s room. He had sent a BB message to his planner about my arrival…this was totally unscripted.

My fave – Ogo and her bridesmaids

It’s halfway through wedding season so I decided to try something different about my wedding postings.  From time to time  I will be posting just a few aspects about a wedding I really like.  It will range from my favorite bridesmaids, groomsmen, reception or church decor or anything. I feel sometimes these details get overlooked when the full post is published. So my favorite bridesmaids till date this year goes to Ogo’s bridesmaids.

I selected Ogo’s because they were on time and they all loved to take pics..I didn’t have to to look for anyone or chase after anyone during the formals and the color combo was just beautiful. So yes, I hate to agree with you Ogo that your brides really were stress free at least for me :)
