Christina and Toni's, Destintation wedding, Chicago
Andrews Photography takes flight to cover a destination wedding in Chicago. Christina and Toni's destination wedding in Chicago was a blast. I don't think I will be able to blog just one time for this wedding. Way to much going on, the bride never stopped and either did we. Check out one of the small video clips we did. The groom was caught taking a quick nap in the limo.

The groom was caught taking a quick nap in the limo.
17th of June the day before the wedding. Andrews Photography flew down on Southwest Airlines. The flight was fantastic the employees, definitely funny. Our checked luggage made it too, way to go ground crew. Smaller terminal equals less loss, we loved them thanks Southwest?
That morning we met up with Christina and Toni at there Flat in Oak Park. We went over the site locations and all the hot spots she wanted to get to on the 18th. Planning is always good considering it was going to rain on her wedding day. I put in a quick prayer to the big guy in the sky, asking for a few hours of sun.This usually works in most cases, we have had only 3 weddings in the course of 16 years rained out.
Christina also took us to the bridal shop to pick up her dress "Alberto's on 95th street in Evergreen Park" great service. Off to lunch and a few quick last minute items we were headed down town for check in at the regal BlackStone Hotel. Nice place lots of charm and a really cool gold couch in the lobby. The staff, 5 stars way to go folks for all the great service.
We had a few hours to scout around the hotel for possible cool cityscape's and found one that would work for her light rail photo "The Loop". Next it was on to the Silver Bean Sculpture in Millennium park. This is the same park were presidential candidate Mr. Obama gave his speech while he was in Chicago. Our Staff was impressed with the band shell it was quite a marvel. Many clicks later and with cool ideas in the brain we were off for dinner at the Thai Spoon.

Thanks to,
Christina and Toni for booking us to document there day, glad we could help

Canon, Par Excellence Award Northern Lights, mnppa, 2009
So you may have heard Rod Andrew Wilson entered NLPPA or Northern Lights Professional Photographers Association, Photo competition.
They called him on Sunday and asked if He was available to except an award at the Lu out banquet on Tuesday a casual affair this year note the no Tux, just tee shirt and flowers. Long story short He drove up to breezy point and picked up his new award "Canon's par excellence Award" He received a nice pin, glass trophy and a New Canon 5D MarkII camera with a 85mm lens. Thanks goes out to Ed Meyers with canon, what a really nice guy! buy a camera today his email emeyers@cusa.canon.com
Wow! OK so the award is not always given out it has to be earned in a unique way. Most photographers enter 4 prints for competition in hopes of receiving a perfect score of 100 out of 100 for each print. Most prints score well into the 70's, hey were professionals. To receive this award all 4 prints must score above 80. Three individuals qualified for the award out of nearly a 100 entries from the three states. North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota being the three states in Northern Lights.
The winner is not always the highest print case total. The judges choose just one lucky person they feel as met the requirements of excellence. We have the video, not the greatest quality but pretty fun to watch.
Thanks to everyone for supporting Rod Andrew Wilson through the years!
Rod is very happy to be the 2009 winner of the Canon, Par Excellence Award Northern Lights, mnppa. He says "he couldn't have done it without the help of TCPPA and the great speakers they have had over the years". This being his first NLPPA competition, He found if fun and exciting. He encourage's everyone to enter at least once in there life time. The next step for Rod will be to enter in the 2009 PPA print competition. He will be awarded A bronze medallion for meriting 4 prints out of 4. If any of his prints make it into the loan collection He may receive a silver or gold.
Anyone at the convention get a better video? Please send it his way rwphoto@earthlink.net or call Rod @ 651.292.9242

Fun E-session, Andrews Photography in Alexandria MN
Cody and katrinas Fun E-session, Andrews Photography in Alexandria MN. We were in Katrinas dad was along to get the dog to look left and right. Way to go Bill couldn't have Alex over the weekend checking out the vineyard "Carlos Creek" for a wedding in August. Wow cant wait for this wedding. Wine barrels, vines, old trees, rolling hills, Beautiful bride and Mr. casual groom. These are just a few of the photos we took during our short stay. Bill, done it without you. When we do site visits we are trying to find out what the grounds or location will give us. When we arrive on the wedding day well determine if plan A is the way to go or do we modify the locations for family, bridal party, romantics.
Was it worth driving 369 miles to see a vineyard, not in bloom. We believe so. A little effort to make the bride and groom comfortable and to see her dream first hand is gold. Plus its always nice to get to know our brides and grooms just a bit better before the big day. See there complete Fun E-Session here password is Codykatrina.
