…And They Shall Be Married

After numerous false starts, we finally had the pleasure of meeting Rick & Terri for their engagement photographs last night. We were able to dodge the rain, and got some good shots (as I was saying last night, “I am so freakin’ good.”)

We’re excited to work with them again this coming summer (now that God let us know that it is OK to proceed).

Enjoy!

Travis & Lisa (The Day After…)

The day after a wedding is filled with memories of the day before, thoughts of the future you will share, and if your’re lucky – you might even find some time for mud.

Our Man Travis not only found time, but was able to find himself (and Andy too) in a little too much mud. They were able to get out, and we were able to get a couple of shots of the new groom and truck.

Enjoy!

Travis & Lisa

After the Super Donkey Ninja post, we took some much needed time away from all things blogy blog. Not that we were resting on our laurels, as we spent the weekend in Bismarck for the wedding of Travis & Lisa. Not only were we the photographers, but Lisa is the Aunt of our very own Jamie! It was an extravaganza of epic proportions, and what follows are some photographs of the event.

To give you some background, one of the photo’s is of the Bride & Grooom, one is of regular poster to the blog of Otis & James, Becca (with extra special guest Jessie), and one of the photographs is of the band that played at the reception (I have no idea what their name is, but they were really good – and the photo was taken by none other than guest Otis & James photographer and regular poster, REEEEZZZZBECKEEEES). Play the game with us and see if you can match the description to the photograph. Good Luck!

The Saturday Edition

Spent the afternoon with Chris & Sarah – we had a super-duper time! Favorite part: the groom asking if Jamie was with the photographers. This is funny because Jamie and I have joked about just showing up to a wedding, and taking photographs. Not that we would ever do it, but wouldn’t it be strangely funny to do this, and then try to get paid for it. Who knows – maybe this is the direction the industry will go. Otis & James – Commando Photographers. We may show up un-announced, but it’s for the best.

I digress. As it turns out, Jamie is part of the company, and she even managed to get a few shots of the groom without him knowing (sort of commando). Enjoy!

Sick on a Sunday

Greetings from the sickbed. It would seem that both the Otis and the James part of the company are fully embroiled in a case of Skerbeditis (or as some would call it, a raging bad flu/cold combo). We apologize to anybody that has tried to contact us over the past couple of days, but we will be back at it with 110% on Monday (or at least 66%).

Until then, we invite you to look at some photo’s taken at the wedding of Travis & Mindy – a great time was had by all!

More Changes to the Site

We’ve made some more changes to the site today. There have been some tweaks made to the weddings page – we’ve added some new links at the bottom of the page – with two of them being completely new.

The first new link is wedding information – which as the title suggests contains information about weddings, and the second new link is seniors – which as you’ve probably guessed is about senior portraits, and within this page is a link to senior information – and…you know the drill. Check ’em out. It’s fun.

Over the next few days we’ll be making some more changes to the site that will tie all of this together, so we invite you to come back from time to time to see what’s new.

Otis Out.
