Engagement – Page 15 – Otis & James Photography

Gill & Christen!

After a great start to the day, this past yesterday (but I guess that yesterday would imply that it was past, but I’m not being graded on this thing – am I?) continued on with being totally and completely awesome as we were paid a visit from the totally and completely awesome Gill & Christen!

They were patient as people in tuxedos and fancy dresses kept coming and going, but they never lost their cool. When it came time for the pics to start, they were ready to go and rock it out in the ol’ Otis & James Super Studio!

Seriously, I’m just going to say thank you to this lovely couple for being patient, and for being so great to work with. And when I’m done saying that I’m just going to stop typing and have you look at the proof of how awesome they were below. Well, it looks like I’ve done that. So – Enjoy!

Eric & Amanda!

Our day of super-fun photographs (there was quite a bit of tedious office work, but does anybody really want to read a blog that talks about what bills were paid today, or the fact that we really need those click pencils??) continued with a visit from future Otis & James Bride & Groom (this sounds as if we might present them with a plaque for being a client, but there will be no plaque – instead they just have a good feeling inside that we will be there with them during their wedding day, or again, we hope they have a good feeling inside…or maybe it’s indigestion – whichever) Eric & Amanda!

We truly had a superfuntasticular time working with this lovely couple, and if our experience today is any indication, we will have a great time with their wedding as well (let’s just hope there won’t be as many interuptions during the wedding as there were during the session!)

A big shout out to E & A (this is what all their close friends call them – or at least I will call them this in hope that it will catch on) for being so totally and completely rockin’. Rock it up, now and forever more – Enjoy!

Chad & Amy!

On Saturday, our long distance e.mail relationship with a person that I’ll just refer to as ‘Amy’ (even though I’m pretty sure this is her real name, so I’m not so sure why I should put her in quotes, but it does add that element of danger that we’ve been seeking here in the land of blog…where all the children run free) came to an end as she and her fiancee, which for conversations sake could be called ‘Chad’, paid us a visit in the land of Otis & James on an absolutely wonderful experience, which shall be known as a ‘wonderful experience.’

That was an example of a run-on sentence, and I invite all of my faithful bloggerites to print off a copy of this and mail a corrected version to:

Let’s put all of this in a box, seal it up, and get back to the matter at hand, and that is Chad & Amy!

How could we not have a great time with this couple? They were awesome – they came here ready to rock (I could tell this by the Slayer bumper stickers that were on their garment bags), and rock they did! We started in the superstudio, and then busted down the winter door that has held us back for the last few months, and ventured to the land of sunshine, and fresh air. Some call this the great outdoors, I call it…well, I guess I call it the same thing.

It was beautiful, they were beautiful, and I think that it’s time that we all stop reading, and let the staring into the snaps begin – Enjoy!

Dustin & Natasha!

Last Wednesday (and I’m not talking just yesterday, I’m talkin’ the one before – we didn’t forget about you!) Otis & James welcomed our new friends Dustin & Natasha to the studio for some good ol’ fashioned engagement photographs!!

It was all good (is it still OK to say ‘all good’?) in our land of photographic love/good times, and it was all because of this totally awesome couple! We look forward to working with them in the near future, and would now like to offer up some photographic goods from the evening – Enjoy!

O&JWYB v.4: Shawn & Kayla

Guess what we did with this lovely couple.
No, we didn’t buy them a carmel covered apple.
And we didn’t lock them in the studio while James and myself went next door to 10 North Main for dinner.
There are many things that we didn’t do, but one big one that we did…are you ready…WE WENT OUTSIDE!

Finally!! After months of breathing the incense filled air in the studio, we ventured out of our winter cocoon, and the results were fantastic!

But it wasn’t just the weather that was totally rockin’ it up, it was this couple that took things up a notch, and then went up one more just for good measure. Dang. They were good. I’ll be real wit ya for a second (see how hip that was.) The combo between these two things (the outside and their hotness) was a killer combo, and we’d now just like to quit this crazy, crazy talk and move on to the proof – Enjoy!

Aaron & Janell!

Alright, by the time most of you read this post, it is my understanding that this happy couple will have already gone from Engagement Photographs to actual wedding photographs – in one week!

Let me explain. Last Saturday (I know, I know…I’m running a little behind on this one) we were paid a visit from this totally awesome couple, and the reason was none other than some super-super-duper Engagement Photographs! But (and I know that you shouldn’t start a sentence with ‘but’, but as I write this I’m feeling a little…dangerous) this couple is doing it a little different – they’re just rockin’ right from these to the actual event in record time!

We’re just glad we were able to catch them before the big day, and we would like to wish them congratulations and offer all the best with their life together (and thank you for coming down to the studio last week, and having such fun with us) – Enjoy!

Saturday AM with Matt & Natasha!

That title sounds like it should be a radio show – sort of like a sports roundup sort of thing. You know, where there are highlights of the past week, and it’s all dissected by the hosts. Well, it was far from that. Instead, we (or actually just the Otis part) had the great pleasure of meeting soon to be Bride & Groom, Matt & Natasha for the first time this past Saturday!

After kind of a rocky start (all on the part of ol’ Otis), we got things turned around and this awesome couple turned on the charm for some sweet sweet engagement photographs! It was a pleasure to work with this charming couple, and we can’t wait until June for the big event. We thank them for taking the time to come down to the super-studio, and hope that Matt was able to make it through the day of wedding preparations in one piece. For the rest of you, thanks for tuning in, and – Enjoy!

Luke & Becca!!!

It was with great joy that we yesterday evening that the O&J Superphotocenter welcomed long time friend of O&J Becca and her wonderful fiancee Luke to our little world! The reason, engagement photographs!!

It just seems like yesterday that our little Becca was still in high school…oh how time keeps on tickin’. You see, in our former pre-O&J lives (we haven’t always been the crime-fighting super-heroes that we are now), we had the great pleasure of working with Becca in the ol’ photo lab (shout out to all our past & present RPL peeps – HOLLA!!) Much has changed since those days, but one thing that hasn’t is Becca’s warm & friendly personality – and it would seem that she has found a man by the name of Luke that shares these same traits with her!

It was great to meet Luke, and it was totally awesome to be taking their engagement photo’s! We want to thank this wonderful couple for coming down to the studio and paying us a visit, and we would now like to offer up some snaps from our time together – Enjoy!

Darrik & Betsy!

Up next on Saturday at the O&J Foundation for Breakdancing and Other Talents (or simpley, O&JCFBAOT) was a visit from new friends to the Otis & James Family, Darrik & Betsy!

The reason for this lovely visit – Engagement Snaps! After a long conversation in which Otis told his life story (and James slipped into a standing coma as this was the 14,192 time that she – yes, James is a she – has heard it all), we were off and running with this fun couple! They were totaly awesome to work with, and we would like to thank them for taking time to visit us, and for listening as Otis rambles on and on. Well, seeing as how this post is rambling on and on, let’s move on to some sample snaps from the festivities – Enjoy!

Scott & Linnzi

This past Sunday (I know I’m going out of order as far as the chronology of the posts go, but that’s how crazy I am…crazy) Otis & James Central took a break from its mini-vac (for those of you that don’t know what that means, you’ll have to look down a couple of posts to figure this slang out) for the occasion of taking some super-fantastic Sunday afternoon portraits of Scott & Linnzi (with a couple of special guests!)

This special Sunday was made all the better by the fact that the James part of the business wasn’t here…uh…that doesn’t sound that great – but the reason why it was all the better was that the part of James this day was being played by Otis, and playing Otis was Super-Britt! For those of you not familiar with all this role playing, let me break it down. James was somewhere on the East Coast – perhaps in an undisclosed location, and Otis was actually operating a camera (which for those of you that were wondering, he still knows how to do) and Super-Britt was doing what Otis normaly does – which is talks a lot and fiddles with the music while James does all the work.

OK, back to this lovely couple – they were awesome to work with! It was nice to see everyone all dolled up (especially you, Scott) and it was good to get Scott out from the front part of the building and in to the back part – because that’s where the action is!

We want to thank this lovely couple, and their super-awesome special guests (I’m talking to you, Leah & Autumn), for coming down and having fun with us on this Sunday afternoon. Well, I may have lost the majority of you at the second paragraph, but for those of you still reading – Enjoy!
