There are several ways (more and less verbose) to connect and there are multiple threads that show how to code it.

One way is shown here  
[Photon/P1 loop()/user code blocking in SEMI\_AUTOMATIC mode](http://community.particle.io/t/photon-p1-loop-user-code-blocking-in-semi-automatic-mode/14089/4)

For your purpose to only connect for OTA flashing, you might want to put the connection logic into a function and trigger that fn via a button.
