Weddings – Page 38 – Otis & James Photography

Neal & Tiffany

Sometimes, we find ourselves in places that almost seem too perfect. We not only get to experience these storybook situations, but we get to document them – it is through our eyes that our clients, their family and friends will see this day. This transmission of memory is the truest, most gratifying aspect of our work. Which brings us back to today, and the gorgeous wedding of Neal & Tiffany.

Their wedding was candy for the eyes. Beautiful couple, beautiful day, beautiful location – absolute candy.

Enjoy the sweets.

Kangaroos and Buffalo

Jamie had the pleasure of working with Thomas & Gracia this past evening! Thomas came from far far away, and Gracia comes from much closer (I’ll just leave you to your own devices in figuring out where the far away land is). From what Jamie had said, they were awesome (and from what I’ve seen, I’m in complete agreeance.

We look forward to working with them again this coming Saturday, and stop by soon thereafter for some pics of the big day!

Enjoy!

Tim & Meg

Have I ever mentioned that I really really like my job? If I haven’t, I do. I really do. Yesterday was the perfect example. We had the pleasure to be a part of the wedding of Tim & Meg. It was a lovely hot summer day for a wedding! Why are all of these sentences so short? Who knows why, but what I do know is that yesterday I had a real moment of zen during the reception.

I fully realized how thankful we are that we’re allowed to do what it is we do, and it’s because of people such as the Bride & Groom, and their families that I (and Jamie too) feel this way. I swear, the reception last night was right out of a storybook scenario of what you would imagine a summertime wedding with an outdoor reception would be like. Well, enough of these words. Let’s move on to some photographs of the big day. Congratulations to the new couple – Enjoy!

Tony & Renae

It was an insanely busy day in the land of Otis & James today. I am in no way complaining, though. I’m not trying to say that we’re all ‘our business is so good, and yours stinks, sucka!!’ – we were just busy with a lot of running around and stuff. To finish off this busy day, we had the opportunity to work with Renae & Tony.

I will admit, I was tired going into this shoot. I thought to myself, ‘it sure would be nice to take a nap right now.’ But I didn’t nap. Instead, I had a great time working with this super-fun couple. It was our first time meeting both of them face-to-face, and it was a real treat! So thank you, Tony & Renae, for saving me from my almost nap state, and for making your photographs a ton of fun. Enjoy!

Jason & Mahli

We had the pleasure today of speding some time with Jason & Mahli, and their families. It was such a joy to be a part of this incredibly relaxed and beautiful wedding. We want to thank and extend a heart-felt congratulations to the new Bride & Groom! Below are some images from the day – Enjoy!

Joshua & Tami

It seems that we booked this wedding forever ago – they had faith in us from the get-go! After many changes in Otis & James World, we finally found ourselves in New Rockford for their special day. I have never been to the town, but I only imagined that it contained many private investigators that lived in trailers by the ocean and drove Camaro’s.

This was not the case. What we found instead was a town and families as lovely as the Bride & Groom – even though I swear I saw a Camaro. We had a great time with the wedding party, and wish the new couple all the best in their new life together! Here are some images from the day – Enjoy!

Jared & Lindsay

Harvey is a great name for a town. It’s such an uncommon name these days for a person, let alone for an entire town. It always makes me think of of a big ol’ imaginary rabbit. Harvey – good town, and this weekend, a great place to be married.

The families and friends of Jared & Lindsay traveled far and wide to be in this town to celebrate the union of this couple. We thank them for allowing us to be a part of their day – even though we say that often, it is always true. We had a great time, and were touched by their incredibly moving ceremony. Here’s some pics from the day – Enjoy!

The Swelter Continues…

If you happen to be a regular reader of the blog (I’m talking to you Elise G.) – you will know that our office has transformed itself into the largest walk-in oven I have ever encountered. Today I actually baked a loaf of marble rye bread on my desk. Tasty. This is the only advantage – fresh baked bread.

To spare our clients the heat, we’ve been meeting at a series of undisclosed locations in the Maryland countryside – wait, that’s Dick Cheney. We’ve mostly been meeting at Bellissimo. Thank you for your patience, loyal clients.

We ended the day with Pat & Christi (we had them meet us on the street – and yes that does sound shady.) We are happy that we will be able to be a part of their not-so-distant future wedding! We got some great shots, and they are proof that getting a good shot is indeed more important than your vision.

Enjoy!

Kendo & Nikki & The Heat

The heat was such that it deserved billing with the main attraction. Bravo heat – well played indeed! But that nasty ol’ heat didn’t get in the way of us having a great time with the Kendo & Nikki show. We even managed to get some shots outside (they were quick – very quick).

This was another wedding in which we knew many of the participants and guests – which always makes for double the fun (which since we are always at the setting of ‘maximum fun’, it seems crazy to be able to double that – but we did.) Thank you to Kendo & Nikki – and a big congratulations from Otis & James!

Hot Summer Fun with Brittany & Steve

That title sounds borderline lewd. Far from it, it was just really really hot outside during our time with this super-fun good-time happy-go-lucky (I’m really into the hyphen) couple. As I sit here typing this, there is much conversation occuring between myself and Jamie making sure that we have everybody’s name correct. I know that it is Brittany, but as this is the first time meeting ‘Steve’ (I’m putting it in quotes in case this is not truly his name), in retrospect we are not 100% sure that this is the correct way of saying his name (i.e. – this may or may not be his correct name.)

In the event that it is not his correct name, on behalf of Otis & James, we apologize for this incident, and will be correcting our error as soon as we are able to double-check (there goes that hyphen again) our information on file. You see, we are safely tucked into the Otis & James resting nest for the evening (this too sounds borderline lewd – and what the what what is up with my use of parentheses??), we are not able to fully run this entry through our rigid fact checking system that we normally afford our entries. I truly have no idea what I have just typed. If your name is ‘Steve’, just disregard all of this hoo-ha.

With that out of the way, we had a great time during the shoot – we all did our best Austin Powers-as-photographer impressions – we really really had fun (two really’s, fifteen parentheses). We hope to work with the soon-to-be-married couple again!!

Here’s some proof –

Yonej!!

ed. Fact-Checking and e.mail communication has affirmed that this man is indeed, Steve.
