Weddings – Page 27 – Otis & James Photography

Jason & Amy!

…and then on Thursday, we had the good gosh great golly almighty pleasure of working with soon to be o&j Bride & Groom, none other than Jason & Amy! It was not just to wish us a good ending to an already good day…oh no…it was for some superfantatical e.pics (shout out to Amy from Billings for giving us the new vernacular…and for those of you still wondering, I’m talkin’ E-ngagement Pics!)

From our previous exchanges (that sounds pretty robotic, which I assure you they are not), we knew that this couple would be wonderful to work with. What we did not know is that they were not only going to be bringing their bright and cheerful selves to the FunCenter, they were also brought the goods. What I mean by this is that they were total and complete rockstars of the highest degree, and we can not wait until the big day so we can really see the goods.

But really, if there was a need for so many words, there would be some sort of a bag of words wating for us every morning as we leave our houses, and seeing how this is not the case, I’m going to stop with the words, and get to the snaps. Much love to Jason & Amy for being so wonderful to work with, and to all of you out there in land of blog – Enjoy!

Justin & Michelle

Listen Up! I’m gonna lay it down for you now, and it’s gonna go like this. A long, long, long time ago, way back when the OtisJames was still in its infant stages, when it was still crawling up from the mire, when it had not flown, and was still learning to walk, way way way back when, one of our first hard core believers in Otis & James was a young lady by the name of Michelle, and it was in a land called Lowe’s that we had the good fortune of first meeting, not just her, but also a young man by the name of Connor!

This first meeting seems like so long ago now, and so much life has passed since then! We eventually got to meet the one and only Justin, and it seems now like we have the good fortune of working with this wonderful family with great frequency! Now, I know that in this last sentence I used the word ‘frequency’, and it seems like I may be perscribing medication more than talking about this family, but my brain has gone to fried state, and I seriously typed that ten word sentence about sixteen times. So let me distill what I’m trying to say here with some bullet points:

Long Time Friends of o&j
Have watched Connor grow up right before our eyes!
Have had much fun working with this wonderful family!
Cant believe that it their wedding was finally here!
Had a ton of fun (that’s 2,000 lbs!)
Wedding Party was a blast!
Totally awesome snaps!
Wish the best for this couple, and thank them for sticking with us through time!
Stop Talking
Get On With The Snaps
Enjoy!

And seriously, much thanks to Justin & Michelle and their lovely families and awesome wedding party! But seriously again, get on with the snaps already – Enjoy!

Mike & Gina

Gather ’round, ye cheldren of the blog, because it is time for us to fire up the ol’ O&J FarBack Machine, and travel back in time to a land and a time that we shall call, not this past Friday, but the Friday Friday past! I know, you are gonna start asking me, ‘Uncle Otis, why do we have to get into the FarBack Machine again…it’s cramped and it smellls like french fries in there.’, but worry not…the reason for our mission is good, it is so we can be a part of the wedding of Mike & Gina!

And so it was, that we found ourselves (mmmmm…not so sure about this new style of writing, sounds like a fractured fairytale) on this lovely Friday, with this lovely Bride & Groom, and their equally as lovely wedding party, and all of us together made some double eqally (that’s all sorts of equal, for those of you counting) great looking wedding photo-graphs!

We had a wonderful time working with one and all, and we would like to give mad props (that’s street for ‘Many Thanks’, for all of you that live in squaresville) to Mike & Gina for including us on their day! Now, if I just continued to put these words here, I would only be aggravating all of you out there in blog land, and I don’t want to be the man that causes the aggravation, I want to be the man tha’ gives the laughs. So – Enjoy!

Kile & Richelle

Our trip in the FarBack Machine continues, but this time we need to adjust our coordinates. For we need to leave this land of Magic, and instead need to travel back to a time that was known as…again…not one, not two, but three Saturdays ago, and in a land that is known as Williston!

And why, as I’m sure that my dear bloggers are asking, are we changing our direction so…what is it that brings us to this far away Western (are directions capitalized?? Judges??) land…why do you venture to this land of oil that is so dangerously close to Montana? Let me be straight up with you…it was so we could be a part of the totally awesome wedding of Kile & Richelle!

Ahhh, now, I’m gonna break it down real easy for you…this group of totally awesome people that we had the great pleasure of working with was, as my earlier descriptor states, totally awesome! They were absolutely wonderful to work with, and they were even punctual! Did you hear that…they weren’t just punctual, they were early! It was, quite simply, miraculous!

Now, if all you all had come here to read some sort of a long novel that was occasionally peppered with lovely pictures, this post should go on for quite a bit longer. But I have received word that most of you are here for the happy fun time pictures. And the words are more of a distraction. So, it is without any further delay that we bring you Kile & Richelle – Enjoy!

Robbie & Carissa

Now, I bet you peeps out in blogland had thought that we had forgotten about you of late. Let me reassure you, we’ve been hunkered down in the FunCenter putting pixel after pixel together in order to create bright and shiny new pictures for you to see! I’m happy to report that we have a new batch ready for you to look at! I think this deserves two exclamation points!!

Step back with me in the O&J FarBack Machine, and let us travel back to a land that was known as not one, not two, but three Fridays ago. I know! I know…we are pushing the limits of the FarBack Machine, and you are worried that she may break apart. But I have no doubts in the machine, as I just changed the wiperblades last week, and they are totally good for like, 6 months. Alright. Here we are. Oh, did I tell you why it was that we were going so far back in the FarBack (seems kind of redundant to name it right there) machine?? What’s that?? I didn’t!! Well, let me correct that; we are going back to the wedding of Robbie & Carissa!

It was an absolutely gorgeous day, both Mother Nature brought the goods, and so did this wonderful Bride, Groom & Deluxe Wedding Party! It was a joy, a blast, and a hoot (which could just be called a Joasoot, for short), and we would like to spend the next few words singing the praises of this wonderful group! Alright, you’ve all waited long enough, and it’s time to look at shiny, happy pictures. So – Enjoy!

Chris & Amber

There was a time, and there was this place. This time, it shall be called a couple of Thursdays ago. This place, it very well could be called the FunCenter. And in these places, there could be this couple, and their names could very well be (and I’m pretty sure…in fact I’m positive that they are), Chris & Amber!

They just might have come down to this place, at this time, for a specific reason. This reason very well might have been to have some totally awesome e.pics (and again, if you truly want to be hip to the blog, you gotta call them e.pics, but if being hip isn’t your bag, I will translate this kool to you and let you know that I mean engagement pics…but I swear this is the last time that I’m gonna do this for you!) taken, and they just may have been taking these photo-graphs because someday, someday soon, they will be making some wedding photo-graphs at their wedding.

I’m gonna say thank you to Chris & Amber for being so friendly, and for coming in on the tail end of a day (I do love the nightlife!), and for the rest o’ you peeps; you’re all gonna have to figure out what it is that is going on here. Best of luck, and – Enjoy!

Cameron & Ashlee

Really.

What mere words can I attach to this post that will do it justice?

How can I possibly stuff all of the total and complete awesomeness that was the wedding of Cameron & Ashlee into some simple words?

So, Instead, I’m just going to give thanks to all that made this day possible, and especially to the wedding party and Bride & Groom for being so absolutely crazily wonderful to work with!

RockStars, one and all – Enjoy!

Luke & Becca

Many moons ago, when young Otis was not yet again Otis, and was hiding out using the name ‘Matt’, he had the good great gosh almighty pleasure of working with a young lady by the name of Becca! Becca was friendly and bright – always ready with a smile, ready to turn that frown upside down! If we were to travel in the WayBackMachine, we would find that I never in a million years thought that I would be lucky enough to be not just at her wedding, but the actual photographer!

But here we were, all these years later. It was no longer Becca, it was now Luke & Becca, and it’s not Matt anymore, it’s back to Otis. And, of all crazy things, I actually was the person that took her wedding photographs! Crazy! And, let me tell you something else…their day was absolutely gorgeous, and we were so lucky to be included in the festivities!

We had a great time working with this lovely couple and their equally lovely wedding party, and I don’t think the day could have been any more wonderful! We would like to offer up some thanks to one and all involved with the wedding for being so great to work with, and we would also like to offer up a heartfelt congratulations to Becca & Luke on their marriage – you guys were gorgeous!

Alright, before I get too sappy here, me thinks it’s time for us to leave these words behind, and instead let ourselves go into a world of colorful pixels, or, pictures. Without any further delay, Luke & Becca – Enjoy!

Brent & Michelle

Our trip in the WayBack Machine (only we have one of these, and it’s still in the developmental stages with some bugs to be worked out – for instance, just the other day I was trying to get back to a portrait shoot that we did a few days previous, and I actually wound up at the meeting that Nixon had with Elvis – totally weird) continues, and this time it is to the time of Saturdays Saturdays Saturdays past, to a place and time that shall from this day forward, at least on ‘the blog’, be known as the wedding of Brent & Michelle!

Let me tell you what, we knew from the outset that this was going to be a superawesome day (and really, with Michelle involved how was it not?), but we didn’t know just how much fun it was going to be until we started rocking it up, and again, let me tell you (and this may be the best example of a run-on sentence that I have ever given you) rocking it up only does it a little bit of justice, for it was as if we were creating a new type of rock, simply called ‘super-rock’, which, coincidentaly, is also a complilation CD featuring hits from BTO, REO Speedwagon, and Journey (Don’t Stop Believin’, Y’all!) – but this is the only way to fully describe just how awesome it was to work with this wonderful couple and their fantastic wedding party!

Now is the time that we would like to get serious, kind of like that part of the concert where the acoustic guitars come out, and a hush falls over the arena, because you totally know that they are going to bust out ‘Every Rose, Has It’s Thorn’ – and give thanks to Brent & Michelle for including us in their wedding day, and to everyone involved with us for being so totally and completely awesome! Well, before I gush too much and all of you start to feel queasy (is that how this is spelled – editors?), I’m going to stop and get to the goods – Enjoy!

Levi & Kiley

Come with me, if you will, in the O&J WaybackMachine, as we venture all the way back to a space and time that was known as a Friday Friday Friday (I know, I know, it’s been a long time in the making, but rest assured we’ve been running at full terminal velocity and all the o&j worker bees have been producing at their highest output levels possible – so please don’t harsh me out too bad, or just harsh me out a little bit) past. And why are we traveling so far back in time, you ask? Well, we are making this trip so we can see the supersamplesnaps of the one and only Levi & Kiley!

Ahh, shucks man – we had a superawesome time working with this totally wonderful couple and their equally wonderful wedding party! They were a great bunch, and were all born to be photographed. Which is a good thing, seeing as how we are photographers, and it was kind of our job to photograph all of them for many hours. If, say, they had been born to hold their hands up in front of their faces whenever a camera came around, or perhaps even were born to turn their backs to the camera, this would not have been such a good thing. There would be much gnashing of teeth in the FunCenter if this had been the case, but I’m here as your trusty reporter telling you that there was none of that to be found, and they couldn’t have been any easier to work with!

We had a great time with one and all, all the way from the start of festivities all the way through to the end! We would like to thank Levi & Kiley for including us in their day, and would now like to stop all of my jibbering and jabbering about, and get to the reason that all of you are here, and (in case you’ve forgotten by now) that’s to see some sweetsweet sample snaps – Enjoy!
