Kristin & Corey

Well lookee here what we got now, my dear friends of bliggity blog!  It would seem to me that you’re about to be hit over the head with some totally sweetlysweet wedding samplesnaps of the one & only, the wondrous couple that embodies all that is pure joy – you got it – the wedding of Krisitn & Corey!

On a day not all that long ago, but yet still a day that wasn’t quite yesterday, the Otis & James Caravan of Love pulled up to this wedding, and said, ‘Wedding, how ’bout you and us…we take some pics together’, and – to our glee – they obliged us in this offer!  And, how lucky could we be that they did, for if they had not, we wouldn’t have had the totally awesome pleasure of working (if you really want to call it work) with this lovely couple, their totally awesome Wedding Party, and everyone else that made this such a wonderful day!

There were so many friendly faces and good times, and we truly truly truly (that’s three…count ’em…three) want to thank one and all for being so good for us, and especially to Kristin & Corey for allowing us to be a part of their day!  But check it out, I’m starting to borderline on sappy, so it should now be the time that we close up this chapter of words, offer up a heaping helping of MuchLove & ManyThanks, and to tell you, my dear citizens of Blog to – Enjoy!

Alyssa & Jason!

Holy cow.  It seems like the blog came to a screeching halt a couple of days ago on the o&j Micro Election, and suddenly this blog became yet another one of those crazy political blogs that are all the rage these days.  Well, my dear goodly good peeps of blog, I’m here to assure you on this wintry Sunday (btw, ‘wintry’ is a fun word) that no such thing has happened…so we’re going to put all of that behind us and get back to the goods, get back to the real deal, get back to the basics.  We’re gonna get back to where it all came from.  Get Back.  Get Bac…whoa…sorry about that.  Some sort of a Beatles flashback going on there.  But what we’re going to get back to is what you all really have come here for, and that’s to see some lovely samplesnaps!

This edition of o&j supersweetlysamplesnaps is of none other than the totally awesome and beautiful, the gorgeous couple that we like to call Alyssa & Jason!  My good people of Blogland, I’m here to tell you that people all over the world call this couple Alyssa & Jason, but we have another name for them as well.  And now I’m thinking that you want me to inform you of what this name is.  And to you out there that may be wondering this, I will tell you.  Because that’s the kind of dude that I am.  A dude that will not hold anything back from my faithful citizens of Blogville.  So, what we like to call this wondrous couple…is totally and completely awesome.

You heard me.  Totally and completely awesome.  So, the next time that you are walking down the street and you see Alyssa & Jason, you could either be all, ‘Hey…what’s up Alyssa & Jason?!’, or you could be supercool and be all, ‘Yo!  What is up there totally and completely totally awesome couple?!’ – either will work.  Give it a try next time that you see them.

So, with these words of wisdom circling around your brain, I think it shall be the time that we give a big ol’ MuchLove & ManyThanks to this awesome couple for giving us a little bit of their sweet & precious time, and to all my good people out there in Land of Blog making snow angels – Enjoy!

Laurie & Scott!

Yo ho ho, my good peeps of Blog!  It’s me, again.  It’s always me though, isn’t it.  I guess I could cut that part out and just get to the goods, but I feel like kind of a weirdo just jumping in, so I guess I will always feel compelled to introduce myself, otherwise it just seems kind of rude.  Then again, it’s kind of like I’m on an Island of Blog, and I’m the only inhabitant, because these words are just going on out into the cyperspace, so it would be like introducing myself to the air every time that I start speaking, which too would be weird.  But living alone on an Island makes you crazy after a while.  Either way, it’s me again.

I’m coming to you on this fine night of election with some sweetlysamplesnaps, and to be more accurate some totally righteous e.pics (and, that not ‘epic pics’, even though they are epic, the ‘e’ stands for something else) of the one and only, the supercouple that goes by the name of Laurie & Scott!

They sauntered into our lives on a day so fine not all that long ago (and, time is a loose concept in my world…I almost voted for Ross Perot again today), and made our lives all the brighter with their wondrous ways!

Wondrous Ways, incidentally, is the title of my self-help book coming out in the Spring of ’09.  But enough about me, I would now like to say that Laurie & Scott were totally awesome to work with, and we would like to give them a box full of MuchLove & ManyThanks, send the box to them via FedEx Priority Overnight.  Yeah, so we pretty much dig them.

We need to stop these words now and get to the goods, which are the samplesnaps.  To all my good peeps out there in Land of Blog getting ready to hear the election results – Enjoy!

Mikayla & Bryce

Well here we are, my dear good friends of blogworld, just a few days away from that most Hallowed of Eve’s, and in keeping with this theme, I bring you a story all the way from Sleepy Hollow!  I know, you’re sitting there thinking I’m going to go all Ichabod Crane on you, but this is a much different story.

This story, my fine and beautiful people of blogville, is about two equally fine and beautiful people that go by the name of Mikayla & Bryce, and the Sleepy Hollow which they were at was the site of their most wonderful wedding!  This story is not scary & spooky.  No no no!  This story is instead wondrous & beautiful, filled to the brim with nothing but gorgeous people that made our day totally and completely wonderful!

The Otis & James Caravan of Love pulled out of the Minot station and headed South to B-Town (and for all you supersquares out there, that’s Bismarck) to be a part of this sweetlysweet day!  I bet that you’re sitting there right now in your comfortable digital blog home wondering if this couple and everyone else involved with this day was totally awesome, or if they were just average.  Dear friends of blogatron, I’m here to assure you that this couple and their wedding party wasn’t just totally awesome, they were totally superawesome.  Did you hear that?  Superawesome.  Yeah.  I’m just gonna let that fester in your mind for a second or two, because I don’t want to overload your synapses.

I think it best if we just leave all of these words behind, give a huge bunch of MuchLove & ManyThanks to Mikayla & Bryce for letting us be a part of their day, and tell you, my faithful peeps of blog to – Enjoy!

Kassy & Zach!

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.  I like a good stiff drink.  Wait.  That’s not what I meant to say.  What I meant to say is that our clients (that is, the peeps that come into our photographic lives and give us the material that comprises all of our photographic goodness) are beautiful.  Yep.  That’s what I’m saying.  And it’s the straight dope.  I know, you could probably sit there and say, ‘Well, this ‘otis’ person is just saying that because he has to, not because he really means it’ – but I’m here to tell you that if it wasn’t true, I wouldn’t say it.  Some people say that I don’t have a filter on my mind, thoughts or words that come out of my mouth.  This, my friends (dang you McCain for getting that stuck in my head) is true, and I’m unapologetic for it.

Really now, you don’t have to take my word for it, because as proof I’m offering up everything that you see on ‘the blog.’  For example, Kassy & Zach (as an aside, every time I try to spell ‘Kassy’ I inadvertantly type ‘Kazzy’, which albeit is an exciting and interesting name, but yet probably not what I should type.  I’ll let you out of my mind now.)  All you gotta do is look at their samplesnaps below (not yet…I’ll tell you when…I’m in charge of this ship) to see that I speak truth.

So, unapologetically, I will tell you that our clients are all beautiful.  I don’t know what we did to deserve this, but we thank our lucky stars every day for it.  Because there is no filter in Photoshop called ‘beautiful’…you just gotta have it.

So, with that in mind, you’re gonna have to sit back, relax, have a good stiff drink of Coca-Cola on the rocks, and get ready for the visual explosion that is the lovely engagement snaps of Kassy & Zach!  Oh, and by the way, be sure to – Enjoy!
