Corey Cook set this model shoot up for his soon to be fiancee Carley. He wanted to capture the moment on film when he presented her the ring. Corey said,' It was so hard trying to keep this secret and she wanted to talk about marriage all week and I was just like oh god I cant wait to surprise her during the shoot at Andrews Photography". "I had to hide the check book for two months so she wouldn't see the amount I took out and question me about it". "It is so hard to surprise her she knows everything and I just wanted to get it on film".

We have done this in the past for a few friends who were popping the question and it went really well. Lady if your reading this right now and you do not have that ring yet. Send your man to this blog and get him started. We have some pretty cool ideas he can steal too. Think profound moment! This isn't for everyone just the ones that really want that photojournalistic realism.



Boy friends get in gear and hire your own paparazzi to snap those really cool moments. We charge a flat rate of $400.00 and will travel within the twincities to get the shot. Usual time is around 1-1.5 hours of coverage depending on how nervous you are. Call us today 651.292.9242

Latest wedding from Andrews-Photography.com you can view the entire wedding here password is "Davesarah". Talk about a near miss with the storm of the century! You can see the snow on the ground but thank god we didnt get hit to bad. The bride and groom were fantastic. They kept there mind open and braved the 32 degrees outside for two sessions. Total time outside 15 minutes, portraits of fun and total use of the surroundings priceless. Why rent a place and only use half of it. Cold you bet, you can see the small snow flakes in the group shot. What a great group of people, they would have done anything for the bride and groom that day. Sarah and David thanks again for adding another hour before the ceremony. I think the extra time really helped us capture all the romantic photos you could have wanted.

One of the photos I took for brides of france a unique bridal boutique. They will be using this image in there new branding campaign. Beth Freeburg does a fantastic job on the marketing over there cant wait to see her new pieces.

These kinds of photos are alot of fun but you have to time the traffic. We got extra luck in the fact that there were no trucks parked in front of the store. Andrews-Photography having fun with photography!

This is a photo of one of my good friends Frank Sander a local artist. He is now up for the Bush Grant for the arts. Way to go Frank! This is the only guy I know that can pull off vertical and horizontal stripes in the same outfit. His publicist said this was one of the best photos of Frank she had ever seen.

This head shot was used for the Rake a Minneapolis Saint Paul newspaper. Like usual they left out my photos credits. People please it just takes a minute to give me credit

I did a little light painting for a local coffee shop. Its pretty cool how you can record the different colors on the white coffee cup. Pretty labor intensive but well worth it. All my art on my website is for sale. Drop me a line if you would like to purchase anything.

Adams family photo session. They were lots of fun and really cool. They planned a portrait session at our studio in Saint Paul then headed out to supper. thanks for coming in and making a memory. When you get your clan together the next time plan ahead and give us a call. We do sessions all over the Twin Cities, Andrews Photography is there for you!

A Family Photo session we did in the studio last week. At Andrews-Photography we do just about every kind of photo out there. Sorry we dont take pictures of cats though.

Last Winter storm? I hope so but it is planning to snow this Saturday. I will post a few of the wedding photos on Sunday if I can.

Burlesque in Saint Paul. The Foxy Tann Review every other Wensday at the 4th street station gotta check it out. Here are a couple of the fun PG images from the last show I attended.

the Minneapolis Chapter of Jack and Jill sponsors. Rites of Passage: The event marks a young man making his way into adulthood. The program is designed to promote a positive lifestyle and a understanding of African value systems. Andrews-Photography was hired to document the men and families before the event. We brought in a full studio of lights and backgrounds to fullfill this need. The attendees commented on the professionalism of our staff and my excellent choice of the background. They said no one has ever taken this quality of photos for there event. Looks like well be back next year. Is there a need for Event Photography in your future? Call us today to find out how we can document your day. Rod Wilson Andrews Photography 651.292.9242

Here is the screen shot from Insightnews.com they asked to use one of the photos in there paper and on the website.Its always nice to get published!

Here is a Corporate head shot Andrews Photography did for Acuitee Marketing. Acuitee Marketing Quotes themselves on being "Smart Marketing for small business" . They do that to a "T" I dont think they have wasted a single dime of mine! Jennifer Lavine is the principal, enthusiast at the firm. She and her team have done a splendid job over the years for me and my company. I just wanted to add her image and say thanks for all the hard work. Her contact phone is 651.730.9989

The image was a concept shot. Jennifer wanted something fun and intimate. After the shoot she commented on why did she wait so long in getting a new portrait taken when it was just so much fun. She has emailed me since the shoot saying her clients really loved the photo and how it really captured her true spirit.

Thanks again Jennifer for all the innovative work!

Andrews-Photography went to the circus. We got a few photos of the Shriners Circus this last Saturday. What happened to the circus folks? Were is the excitement and the fun. The kids I saw had fun and it would have been cool to feed the elephant. Not alot of performers but wait, there was a shining star. The first picture the guy on the tight rope his act was fantastic and he did a bit with his assistant that involved juggling and a whip, nice stuff. Wish I could have met him he was great! a true entertainer. I would go back just to see him again. We couldnt get a whole lot of photos from our seats but I hope you enjoy what we did get. See you at the state fair. Oh don't forget our state fair package. Drop us a line and ask us what it is about.

Free Wedding Coverage Wow Yes Free Wedding Coverage!


Here's the thing: We love shooting weddings. We also love to travel! Anytime, anywhere. But you know how it is...when you're on vacation you feel like you should be working, or when you're working you wish you were on vacation! Thankfully, there's a perfect solution:

DESTINATION WEDDINGS!

Every year we set aside Five weekends exclusively for this "free wedding photography" promotion. Aside from a few basic restrictions, there are no strings attached to this offer. Having said that, here are a few strings:


1) It should be scheduled between November and March.

We live in Minneapolis. This Nov - Mar period could accurately be called our off-season. So sure, we'll shoot your wedding for free! As long as you meet requirement #2, which is:

2) It should be someplace WARM and not in Minnesota!

In Minnesota, between November and March, it's probably wet and cold outside. Let's get away to Florida or Cancun or New Zealand or something. Work with us here. Sunny and warm. You probably want that too, right? We're willing to consider not-so-warm locations as long as they are, well, cool. Venice during Carnivale? Sure. NYC on New Years Eve? Okay. Paris in the springtime? Absolutely. And finally, requirement #3:

3) You cover the COST of travel and accomodations. We do the rest.

Airplane tickets, a hotel and some food. Any associated transportation, to-and-from. Tips for the bellhops and waiters. That's it! Well-rested, excited photographers will give you REALLY good photographs. That's all you have to cover, and we don't mark it up with bogus "day rates" or first-class fares. Get us there, put us up at your hotel and we are ready to rock. We'll probably need 4 or 5 nights accomodations, depending on the scope of the project. If we stay longer, it's on our dime.

Is it really that simple?

Yes it is. Look, we've done destination weddings, and they are always beautiful. But sometimes, frankly, it's a stretch for our clients to be able to fly two professional photographers to the Caribbean and to pay full price for the photography package. So this is a pretty good deal. And there are other benefits too:

• Destination weddings don't have the same time restrictions as our regular packages. In other words, we'll be at your disposal for the rehearsal AND all the way through the wedding. The day after the wedding, if you'd like to go out and get some "extra" portraits (on the beach...under a waterfall... on a jet ski...top of the Eiffel Tower) without having to worry about your dress, WE'RE THERE!!!

• If you live in Minneapolis but wish to have a destination wedding, it will be much easier to do all of your post-production wedding album stuff with us a local photography studio. (If you live outside of Minneapolis, then ignore this point. We're easy to work with regardless of your home base.)

• With Andrews Photography you won't be stuck with some cheesy, unknown, in-house, trainee STAFF photographer shooting your lovely wedding! Wouldn't it be better to retain the services of a known and trusted company? These are your WEDDING photos, after all.

Help us to help you! Let's go to France. Or to Cancun. Or even Sydney, or perhaps Tahiti. Think of how fun it will be!
