Proposal Maurice and Syreeta, Andrews-Photography

Saint Paul Wedding photographer Rod Andrew Wilson, captured a couple doing something really romantic on valentines day. Maurice had photos taken through Andrews Photography in December for self promotion. He had heard that we do something like the paparazzi. Take great photos of the guy popping the question. Maurice did his homework and it payed off in a big way. Maurice had to reschedule a few times, but finally came up with a day that worked. Valentines day. Maurice had Syreeta’s Aunt bring her two boys to the location. This was a good reason for being at a given place and time. On the video you can hear the boys in the background saying there abc’s. We had two shooters for this event and Syreeta was a bit surprised about all the coverage. She was really grateful though to find out Maurice took the time to really setup something special. Way to go Maurice, getting on the escalator of love. We did a quick little session of the two of them and they were off for brunch with the family. Guys just a quick note if you plan on proposing on an elevator talk fast and make sure you have your laces are secure.Andrews Photography will be doing more free proposals in 2009 only.

Andrews-Photography, photos by Rod Andrew

Driving yesterday to a photo shoot and I saw these work cranes. The symmetry was mesmerizing I had to turn around and grab a photo. Light, repetition and bold color. The cranes looked like they were on break, talking over coffee, waiting for the next job. Maybe pondering why they have no work, one looks a bid sad. Everyone has there passion and loves. “Always strive to be better, never settle”.

Babies first Birthday, She didnt like the cake

Hi folks, Rod here I got a chance to capture a few great images of one cool kid this weekend on location. Please watch the video, sorry about the bad crop but just had to set the camera on the floor for this take.

Watch out world Bridget tuned one and she does not like cake. Maybe after her party she will be more inclined to like cake. The day was great and Bridget was fantastic she was laughing and playing around. she loves her butterfly and balloons. when her mom blew bubbles she made a few faces. Its pretty cool watching kids find out about life right before your eyes. I wonder if she will remember The portrait sessions. I think back to when I was young and my mom brought us in for a portrait session. All I wanted to do was play with a ball and throw my sisters shoes across the room. I think I was 5 and my sister was 4, I still have that 8×10. My sister with one shoe on and me with a little grin. It was the last time we saw that photographer.

Andrews-Photography, wedding albums


Andrews-Photography, Here is one page from Adrienne and Paul’s wedding album. You can see the whole layout on my website. She had a fantastic day and the album has a really nice flow to it. What a great first dance if your dj does not have constant light you really will be missing out. The lights that move and strobe don’t show up the same in camera. at Andrews Photography we take the time to find out what your day is all about and how to capture something that represents who you are as a couple. Adrienne loved water so I recommended Mears park just around the corner from the great hall in Saint Paul. The park sports a man made river and in Late August at 5:00pm the building across from it lights up from the setting sun. Making one heck of a soft box 1 city block long. Light, photography is all about the light. Brides pick times that will benefit your photos and venue. Keep in mind the worst time to take a photo is outside at noon in July. We can do and do sessions of the bride and groom weeks before the wedding in studio or on location. Think of your wedding day knowing you already have most of the romantics done with the formal long dress shot the dynamic poses in the bag. More time for photo journalistic shots of you and your groom interacting with your family.If we have the time and the bride is willing we do for free the day after wreck the dress session. Have fun in your dress jump in some water, ride a horse, go paint balling, get on a jet ski. Whatever the fun Andrews Photography will be there, As it Happens. Know someone who is getting ready to pop the question? Let them know we capture proposals as they unfold for free in 2009. call Rod Andrew for details, 651.292.9242
