Blogathon v.6 – Lance & Melissa

We will conclude this posting frenzy with our new friends, Lance & Melissa! They took time to stop by the new studio to be our first clients to experience the new environment.

When they arrived, I pulled a complete classic and totally had no idea what was going on – remnants from my wild youth. I could not remember names, dates, or anything else other than the fact that I was pretty sure that they were familiar to me in a way. Finally, Jamie came along to save the day – as she can remember stuff (I’m mostly good at making the radio work.)

We thank them for making it down today, and look forward to working together soon! So – Enjoy!

Blogathon v.4 – Steve & Brittany

As if that wasn’t enough, we managed to scoot back to The Magic City just in time to partake in the wedding of our old friends Steve & Brittany (also known as the greatest living supporter of ‘the blog’ we have ever encountered.)

You may also remember this beautiful couple from a previous post in which there was some confusion as to the name of this man Brittany took to be her husband on this fine day. Well, I was determined not to make the same mistake again, and I am almost 98% positive that I did not call Steve by any other name other than Steve, although I may have, in a moment of stress or confusion, or under great duress call him another name, or I may not have, but I’m pretty much sure that it was all Steve, all the time.

Again, regardless of all this, they made the day and evening great – we are thankful that we were able to share this with them! To the Bride & Groom – congratulations, and to everyone – Enjoy!

Blogathon v.3 – Phil & Courtney

And then on Saturday, the fun continued all the way up in Mohall, where we joined Phil & Courtney on their wedding day too!!

They were super-fun, as was their family – it was evident that they were all excited as the sheer volume of cameras and individuals taking photographs was on the same par as frenzied paparazzi! They were fun, beautiful, and we wish them a hearty congratulations from O&J. As usual, I will shut-up now and get on with the photographs – Enjoy!

Blogathon v.2 – Dan & Kami

Then this past Friday we spent the day with Dan & Kami – and it was their wedding – how crazy??!! This was a great group to work with – totally fun, as James (Jamie) also has the pleasure of attending high school with the vast majority of all involved with the event.

As Otis is really old, and not from here, he did not know many of the people (other than the Bride & Groom), but they even made him (me) feel special (got that?) Regardless, we had a great time, and thank Dan & Kami for including us in their day. Enough of my non-stop blathering, and let’s get on with the pics – Enjoy!

Sundays With Sean & Chelsea

There were three possibilities for the winner of this post title, but in the issue of fairness the decision was based on the good ol’ first come/first serve basis. The winner was Sean & Chelsea. Congratulations on winning this coveted post title, and also on your upcoming marriage.

All kidding aside, we had a great time working with this super-fun/good-looking couple, and thank them for making the journey to be with us on this beautiful Sunday. Here’s some samples from the shoot – Enjoy

Mostafa & Christina

After many months of waiting, we at Otis & James had the great pleasure of attending the wedding of Mostafa & Christina. It was a great day – James was able to spend a ton of time with the ladies as they prepared for the day, while Otis got to spend the first part with Lions, and then got to join up with the fun!

The wedding party and family was great to work with – we thank them for making the day great, and we wish the new couple total happiness! Here’s some of the fun – Enjoy!

Early in the Morning*, with Nate & Tara

This past Sunday morning, we got off to an early start (far earlier than normal), with the so fresh & so clean Nate & Tara. They were all bright eyes/bushy tails (whatever that means), rip-roaring/ready-to-go! They were awesome, and we thank them for finding the time for their engagement photographs. As soon as we got done, Nate was off to the land of sunshine and oranges. We look forward to their wedding – they are great! On with the pics – Enjoy!**

*Special thanks to J.Kole & B.Guy
**For those of you counting, this was the last exclamation point in a post that was filled with them. I find that it really conveys super-excitement. e.g. – Sweet. Sweet!! In the first sweet, there is a hint of Generation X sarcasm. In the second sweet, there is a true feeling of excitement, or jubilation.
Let the exclamation points fly!!!!!

Shaun & Meg

Otis & James had the pleasure of to company of Shaun & Meg, et. al. today. It was a Friday wedding. Friday weddings always wreak havoc on my internal clock, as I am so programmed into thinking that if there is a wedding, it must be Saturday. Then I will go on thinking that Saturday is Sunday, and on Sundy wonder why nobody is at work – where have all the people gone? – that kind of stuff.

Friday weddings are great, though, because you are not compteting with everybody else that is getting married. Shaun & Meg were the main event, and that was it. Well, enough of this digression, and let me tell you that we had a wonderful time working with the couple and their family over the last few months (a big shout-out to our friend Penny – aka the ‘Dancing Machine’), and we thank them for making the day so enjoyable. Alright, alright, enough blabbing and on with the pics – Enjoy!

Paul & Paige

We spent the day today in good company. We spent it with friends old and new. We spent the day at the wedding of Paul & Paige. We had a wonderful time. We were treated exceptionally well. We thank the new couple, and their families for making this day (and night) such an awesome time for everyone involved! We are now going to put photographs on our site for you to see. We hope you like them – Enjoy!

Thomas & Gracia

Day two of our weekend of outdoor weddings continues, and this time we were on the other side of the state from yesterday (Fargo), in lovely Tioga! You may recongize this beautiful couple from this post just a few days ago.

Usually we have more time between the engagement session and the actual wedding, but due to some logistics differences (North America vs. Australia), we met and moved right on to the wedding day. We were again blessed to be in an absolutely idyllic location. Another truly beautiful couple, and a beautiful day. Thank you Thomas & Gracia, and a heartfelt congratulations from Otis & James!

Here’s some pics from the day – Enjoy!
